After reading through this seemingly unrelated collection of articles I believe I have discovered a new candidate for world's worst job: the Llofrau. These poor women put Mike Rowe to shame. I nearly gag my way through the bicentennial chore of cleaning my own bathroom. These crazies do it for a living! And it's not much of one. They are paid in fractions of dollars and only get to keep a fraction of it (although working in a busy bar full of leaky drunks is probably quite lucrative). It's no wonder they are an endangered species.
I do not mean any disrespect towards these brave souls. I have tremendous admiration for anyone willing to clean up after drunk people with poor aim. As most of them are immigrants, they are unfortunately forced to start at the bottom rung of the corporate ladder. In the end they are doing a pretty tremendous service to the community. Public restrooms are some of the most unsanitary places in the world. Stopping for an emergency bathroom break on a roadtrip in the middle of Nowhere, Kentucky can lead to some pretty horrific encounters. Of all the great German traditions and customs passed on to American culture, why couldn't the Klofrau be one of them?
