However the airport is beginning to lose a bit of its appeal, there’s one old tradition still in place that repels me as a traveler and as a business woman.
The bathroom attendants.
It’s not necessarily the attendants themselves, but the fact that these employees are working only for tips in the airport bathroom. Placing these attendants in the bathrooms creates quite a bit of discomfort for tourists and business travelers alike. If I were to make a guess, they are the only unpaid employees in the airport.
Take Angie in Terminal B for example. She’s a lovely attendant who sings, wishes you a good day and generally adds a little more positivity to your travel experience, she even passes out mints! Angie does a fantastic job, she looks after her visitors and keeps the bathroom clean and tidy. I feel as though she is deserving of the same type of compensation the rest of the employees enjoy.
