I've never understood the mentality of hiring a bathroom attendant at your bar. I'd rather walk into a bar bathroom and see two guys fighting each other with knives than see a bathroom attendant standing there. At least I wouldn't have to tip the two guys fighting. I suspect that about half of the bathroom attendants I run into are freelancing. What I mean is that they walk into the bar with a tackle box hidden in their jacket, and then they pop it open in the men's restroom and set up a tip jar next to their multi-colored bottles of cologne and soaps. I never take any mints or cigarettes from the bathroom attendant, so all I get from him is a squirt of soap on my hand and a paper towel when I'm down washing them. It's not unlike getting a regular coffee from a barista who pumps the coffee, hands it over the counter, and then looks at his tip jar. I don't think I should have to give you a dollar if you're not really doing much for me. The guy who makes my sandwich at Burger King does a lot more work than my barista, and I don't give him anything. But I feel guilty not tipping the bathroom attendant since I think his job must be so depressing, so I always give him a dollar. It's such a racket, the bathroom attendant.

It's one of those vestiges of class-consciousness which, for a relatively high-end place, is either effective because the patrons identify with it and tip because they believe it is in keeping with their position in life, or because they don't identify, so tip out of guilt.

These tops are really over rated and way over priced.
Turns your car into an extra hot sauna in the summer.

Agree...but I own one and love having it on there...it hasn't come off since I changed it over about 7 months ago. I keep my car in the garage so baking during the day isn't really an issue for me - but the crappy seal does drive me nuts when I have the sunroof all the way down - the wind noise is louder than with the windows down so I crack it a little to make the whistling noise go away. It also leaks a little water as well...just basically, the rubber seal is shot.

I haven't even looked at it close enough to see if I could find something better to seal it with - anyone have any ideas? I'm sure whoever buys this one will end up doing the same thing...
