In some developing countries, there's an unofficial social contract that the wealthy should employ as many people as possible, even if they need to make pointless jobs. A company I worked for had a remote office in India that employed people to hand out paper towels in the bathrooms.

- NPMaxwell 9y agoCreativity helps a lot here
- blackbagboys 9y agoThis is also common in higher-end nightclubs and bars in the U.S., although these aren't full-time jobs and the attendants work mostly for tips.
- monocasa 9y agoOr just strip clubs in general. I was in the most ghetto strip club I've ever heard about (unpainted cinder block walls), but they had an attendant.

- monocasa 9y agoHaha, that makes sense.
- fencepost 9y agoThings even (especially?) the skeeviest strip club owner doesn't want happening on the premises: drug use,drug trade, prostitution. And the skeevier the club the more likely that some of the clientele would be involved in one or more of the above.

- blackbagboys 9y agoI’m a little curious as to why this comment, of all comments, has attracted downvotes. Is there something about the comparison between these two types of bathroom attendant positions I’m overlooking? Genuinely curious
- pault 9y agoMy brother does this. He makes about $300 per weekend, which supplements his income working in a call center. The real reason he's there is to stop people from trashing the bathroom and using drugs in the club.
