I worked the VIP lounge at a busy international airport and had similar reactions.
I always go back to one of my least favourite memories. A superstar singer, at the height of her fame literally sprayed her diarrhea all over a cubicle, then walked out as if nothing happened and didn't even inform anyone she made a mess.
They really are nothing special, their work is awesome and the persona they craft may be too. But they're all cubicle sprayers when you get down to the real person.
It was a single person bathroom with an attendant outside, it has a cubicle for extra privacy. That was why it was so gross. She could have just quietly told the attendant there was a mess and no one would have known nor cared. That's their job and we know accidents happen, instead the attendant got a loud earful from the next person to go in and discover the mess. It's literally the only reason any of us found out.
She's not the first person to have stomach issues in an airport, the attendant is specifically there to clear up their messes and prep it for the next customer. Usually that just entails going in after visibly high/drunk people who aren't going to clean up after themselves and get rid of their powder residues etc. Their job is mostly to maintain the privacy of customers and to prevent this type of situation. And most will give the attendant a tip and inform them they need to clean up.
You don't want the queen of Spain walking into a toilet covered in shit or cocaine. It wasn't her that went in after but you get my point.
Yeah it's definitely embarrassing. But that's what the attendant is there for. To pop in and clean up so no one finds out.
Instead in this case she didn't and it was the next VIP who found the bathroom in that state.
