Arrived into Sydney yesterday on QF12 and headed for a shower in the Domestic J lounge before my Perth connection until I seen the conditions of the shower and speaking to others in the corridor the others weren't any better, adding to this there were no towels and people what it looked like had been using the floor mats as towels. In the end there was no way I was going in that. I went and showed the ladies at the counter and they paged an attendant although as I did not have thew connection time to wait it was off to Perth un showered. Not sure what was the thinking with Qantas although they would know it was peak shower usage time with QF12, QF8, AA72 and I am sure other QF/OW flights coming in during the early morning slot after the curfew lifts.

Anyhow went on website and provided QF my feedback and while very prompt to respond and apologies with a token 2000 FF points which I believe is more an insult like tipping a penny for poor service.

For context I was flying on a J paid ticket in F using points then paid J for the SYD - PER leg as a QFF WP.

I'm not sure I recognise that shower in Syd domestic J lounge. It would be the disabled shower, just I cannot precisely remember if the J lounge has a disabled shower.

The bigger problem here are the grotts that do not clean up after themselves and take the towels out. Have had that a number of times in Sydney. Utter pigs.

Vic on your first point can I ask if you are questioning if my post is made up as I read it as you don't believe the photo is from the SYD J Lounge anyhow it is.
On your second point I agree some of this falls back onto the users although if you had also seen the overflowing bins outside in the corridor for the used towels I don't hold to much blame on them and more at Qantas.

Maybe I am being a little sensitive you know jet lag and all but I sense a bit of trolling from you Vic

You sense wrong...

There are three shower cubicles on what is roughly the northern side of the corridor. That photo is from none of those three shower rooms.
I'm trying to remember if there is a disabled shower there on the other side of the corridor between the entries to the male and female toilets. I cannot remember that detail, so I'm testing my memory.

Instead of false accusation maybe try answering the basic question: is that a photo from the disabled shower?

As for people cleaning up after themselves - they are absolutely 100% to blame for the state of that shower.
 
Pax responsible for the state of the shower area; Qantas responsible for it remaining in that state.
Indeed, even if everyone left the towels on racks or hooks, you would expect QF and any other airline that offers a shower room would be checking every hour or so to make sure all is spic and span….
