Strip Club Bathroom Attendant's Reading List

I was in Shotgun Willie's on Friday night and while relieving myself in the men's room, I looked over and noticed that the bathroom attendant was reading a book. It's the first time I've seen such an individual doing something other than staring off into space or thumbing through the sports section. I asked him what he was reading and he showed me: The Birth of Tragedy by Nietzche. I'm not kidding. I'm not making it up. A strip club bathroom attendant reading Nietzche. You know, the German philosopher best known for "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I was so impressed that, although I've never done it before, I tipped the guy a couple of bucks. Anyway, it got me to thinking...if you were a bathroom attendant at a strip club, what books would you be bringing to work?

I have not seen the bathroom troll reading a book. Usually listening to radio, talking on their cell phone in a foreign language, or just hanging out.
I have met a door girl who used to read a lot. Sometimes it was a textbook for her school but one book she talked about caught my attention. The title was "How to Stop Time: Heroin from A to Z" by Ann Marlowe
http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop…

About a wall street, harvard graduate, who broke up with her boyfriend of 7 years, and started a heroin habit for 7 years after that. I have not finished the book yet though... Amazon.com has a used copy as cheap as $3.33 or you can check you local library or book store.

I also think it would be hard to work as a bathroom troll and keep focus and attention on a book. I would likely bring in magazines such as playboy.

I don't know if I would want to read anything. I'd probably bring in one of those sudoku books and just do them.

Because of my enhanced sense of smell, I couldn't concentrate amongst the vapors of a men's room. However, I once had a hotel security job with a lot of downtime. I read all of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan books and everything Clive Cussler wrote.

Being a bathroom attendant ranks right up there with being in prison as things I don't want to think about.

tx: "I would not be a bathroom attendant"

Agree that tx is underqualified to be a bathroom attendant. Only qualified for his current job: unemployed.

Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail" about the 1972 elections. There is a scene where Thompson, zonked as usual on a variety of narcotic substances, has a surreal conversation with Nixon while both are pissing in a public restroom. However, there is a risk that reading Thompson in a SC restroom could get a guy in trouble if he starts giggling at the wrong time. By the way, ditto Samsung's reference to door girls who occasionally read surprisingly intelligent stuff. Why is it that with a variety of scantily clad hotties in the club we are fascinated by the only one not getting paid to strip or do LDs?

Doc, most of the door girls that I have known are legitimate college students. The job allows them a lot of time to study nut not much money. Some have seen what strippers make and have changed over.

Yep. There seems to be a progression from door girl to server to shot girl to dancer. Some places interchange these positions to the point that nearly all the female employees will occasionally take some clothes off. However, the serious students stay at the door because its the only position where they can get any work done (unless some goofy college professor agrees to proofread a dancer's history paper in the club . . .)
