![Confessions of a Nashville Bathroom Attendant: "You are Nasty!"](https://s.yimg.com/cd/resizer/2.0/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/50b800c645dd95495b9d564e0e3a4c3e84d4518a.jpg)
There are few jobs as thankless as a bathroom attendant in a honky-tonk bar. That’s why I had to ask “Cora,” the woman in the bathroom of a Nashville bar on Broadway to tell me everything about her job — the good, the bad, and the ugly… the really ugly.

2. She wants you to feel guilty. When you don’t give Cora a couple bills, she wants you to hear her mumble, “cheap,” under her breath.
3. She knows you won’t “get her next time.” When you look sheepishly at her and tell her that you will give her a tip next time you come to the bathroom, she knows you are lying. And she hates you for it.
4. Don’t buy those condoms. They’re way past their expiration date and she bought them wholesale. Congratulations on making a baby in Nashville!
5. Flip-flops have the best margins. Cora buys them at the dollar store, which means she makes a sweet $19 per pair. She sells about 10 pairs a night.

7. Don’t touch her. The drunker the girls get, the more they want to hug Cora and take selfies with her. They think Cora is as much a novelty as the statue of Elvis out on Broadway. She’s recently started charging $5 for a selfie. Some people actually pay it.
8. She can be bought. Want to sneak into a stall for some hanky-panky? She’ll keep her mouth shut — for $100.
