The attendants are paid from amenity fees. Amenity fees will only be adjusted down due to deflation.

If there is money saved by no longer having attendants it will be used for another purpose like paying down debt, building a reserve, or finding another use for the displaced employees. Perhaps some of the attendants could be stationed at problem-child pools for more frequent ID checks.
