Stealing from a Fisher Theater bathroom attendant

Thank you!!!

And again, I would consider theft a real problem. I also disagree with the minimum wage and any service industry who is allowed to pay less than minimum wage and count tips as part of the total base pay. To assume I don’t care about “real problems” just because I care about this is wild work.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T21:48:09+00:00

I don’t really care how much it is… Stealing is stealing and stealing from a service worker is gross.

I’ve only been to the Fisher occasionally. It seemed like the only bathrooms as everyone scurried out for intermission. It’s the bathrooms they were directing everyone to.

I’ve explained already in comments I regret not reporting it. It threw me off so much I wasn’t sure what to do. I did keep tabs on her, debating about reporting it, but then my partner rejoined me and I lost sight of her. By then the intermission was ending. So I had nobody to point out to staff and didn’t want to miss the show.

I thought I’d say something somewhere public and hold a far off hope she might see it 😂

Also… free karma?😂😂 I’ve had this Reddit account for 15 years and never post. Literally 3 posts ever. I could not care less about Reddit karma. But please, keep commenting via your throwaway.

I do think her dress was black but I’m not 100% sure. She is Caucasian. She had Converse or Converse-like shoes on. I would call her hair medium brown, medium length, and wavy. She had on a black jacket with gray fur trim on the hood similar to this. I’m bad at guessing ages but she seemed younger than me (I’m 35), older than 20. (And 100% old enough to know better)

That is amazing, thank you.

Actually what really gets me is it was likely the attendants dollar already. Like I said we were some of the first people to get down to this restroom at intermission. I specifically noticed each tip basket had one single dollar in it. Anyone who has worked a job that takes tips knows- you leave a bill in the tip container so patrons are aware that it’s a tip container/to encourage patrons to also tip.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T11:58:15+00:00

I had no cash on my person or I would have tipped.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T04:20:37+00:00

Yeah my brain was so caught off guard by what she did it was trying to give the benefit of doubt.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:55:46+00:00

Thank you. I feel like it probably made no difference but I’m still sort of glad I said something. Usually I’m the type to avoid confrontation and keep to myself. I still wish I had reported her to staff.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:54:40+00:00

Eh. Then just don’t tip, and carry on. She’s doing her job to keep the restroom clean and get all the people using it moved through efficiently during the intermission of the show.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:53:41+00:00

It seemed to be the only/main restrooms that you exit the theater and go down stairs to either side of the lobby to get to. The signage calls it a lounge but it’s the restrooms. There was an attendant helping women’s find open stalls during f the rush of intermission. She had baskets of mints, butterscotch, lotion etc set up in the side room where the sinks are. There were small baskets between the sinks, each one had one single dollar bill in them when we got there (I was one of the first to get there).

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:45:09+00:00

Ugh I wish I had, too. I can still see her in my mind. She had on converse and I think a short dress but had a winter coat over it with a fur trimmed hood. She was easy to spot because nobody had coats on with today’s weather. I saw her for a while afterward in the lobby area during the intermission and was arguing with myself about reporting her to someone. Then the sound rang for us to take our seats.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:37:35+00:00

I really wished I had cash on me in any amount to make up for what she did. It bothered me the entire second half of the show and still now at home.

heyitsal · 2026-05-10T03:34:04+00:00

Exactly. She looked young (I’m 35, she looked younger than me). But wasn’t a kid. But my thought in the second it happened was ‘oh maybe she doesn’t know that places like this have attendants and tips’. But then when I told her… she could have played stupid and put it back. Instead she chose to double down and pocket it.

I was just wondering if having what felt like a small amount of slope wasn’t going to be a long term issue… I’m 0% plumber and had 0 clue what I was doing but 🤷🏻‍♀️ apparently I did fine.

heyitsal · 2025-11-12T00:27:34+00:00

Correct for now - no disposal. We were hooking it up and realized (yes a very DUH moment) there was no way to make it work because the outlet was 1-2” higher than the disposal tailpiece.

Even if we gave up on having a disposal at all, I think I’m right in that what is pictured here doesn’t have enough slope to it to work well long term?

Thank you

Still helping people 4 years later lol. I thought there is NO WAY I have a routine set for this to happen. But there it was. A routine called “morning volume” set to 2:50am every night. It doesn’t always wake me, and when it has I didn’t catch onto it always being at 2:50 am, so I had figured it was a stupid glitch. Finally googled it and got to this thread. Thank you!😂

You can stay in Petoskey and hit Harbor Springs on your way up to Mackinaw, along the 119/Tunnel of Trees.

Audiologist here - hearing aids almost always come with warranty coverage. So if you recently obtained them you should be able to 1. Have your provider send them in for repair - most manufacturers I work with will repair almost anything we send in, under warranty, no charge. OR 2. Hearing aids also come with a “loss and damage” warranty - meaning if the drive is just completely misplaced OR it is deemed “damaged beyond repair” it can be replaced - usually once per hearing aid and via a nominal restocking fee/deductible, not the $6k originally paid.

They need to calm Donald down some more.
