not just for strip clubs and night clubs
gammanu95Have you ever tried to stick a silver dollar into a stripper's G-string?
Met a freakin bathroom troll in the men's room at the airport. Charlotte NC, C gate. Motor mouth small talk, bad Jamaican accent, directed you to a stall before spritzing air freshener, pulling the paper towels out of the dispenser, etc, but no mints or cologne. I have to wonder if he was sanctioned by the airport or an entrepreneur hustling on his own.

The bathroom trolls are everywhere.
A "freelancer" That's hilarious. Guys says to himself "man I have a 90 minute layover, might as well troll it up in the bathroom, maybe I'll make enough money to cover the cost of 3 beers on my flight."

Those dudes (and women in the ladies rooms) have been at CLT for years.

If bathroom by gate, no freelancers allowed. Employees would have to be screened by TSA. At CLT for years, huh? I haven't been in CLT since 1993, don't recall them back then.

My assumption has been that the bathroom attendants are low cost security, to cut down on drug deals taking place there

Both options sound strange to me. Airports usually try to automate bathrooms, so why hire someone when you can just have an automatic towel dispenser, sink etc.. On the other hand how desperate do you have to be to freelance as a bathroom troll in a place where so few people carry cash. I know in strip clubs the attendant is there to make sure no one jerks off or does drugs. Why have that awkwardness in a normal establishment?

I encountered the same thing many times in the Charlotte airport. I think there was a troll in just about every men's room, during busy hours. My guess is the airport doesn't pay them, but if they can clear security, keep the rest rooms orderly and make a few tips, they get the job. I never heard whether the ladies' rooms have them.
