Gifting to the pottie crews
Gifting to the pottie crews
What would be a great gift for the crews who clean the potties besides volunteering and not hovering?
I have done my fair share of bowl scrubbing, puke cleanup and diaper changing (sometimes in secession whilst hungover) that I think I have earned a pass.
I would very much like to brighten the days of Dpw and the greeters but I really would like to show my appreciation to the pottie crews. Any ideas?

I bring cold drinks and set them in the cab. That way they can have something when they're done. Yes to schwag and booze!

I'm nudging this over to the Q&A boards, since that's a better fit for general event prep questions.

Re: Gifting to the pottie crews
Thank you very much for your consideration for the USS employees. They truly love being out there, and appreciate any positive attention. Although they do get paid, and well by local standards, it is hard, frustrating and grueling work. Those guys pull down 12 hour days!
Recommendations for gifting include:
factory sealed beverages, chilled for preference.
A shake of the hand and a exuberant THANK YOU! is welcome (no shit, under those gloves their hands are prob cleaner than yours!)
trinkets and schwag
Performance art! They love it when people perform while they're working.
And remember kids, please wait until they wave you in if they're servicing the potties. If you jump in too soon it screws them up and it's not a nice experience for you either.
Finally - talk to people about Excremental Correctness - this is the best gift of all!
Stay regular,

I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.
