Situation: it's an hour before closing, I've been bar hopping. I decide I'd be willing to go for a long-island iced tea and a lap dance (had a ridiculously good week financially). Figured I'd temporarily suspend my "not another dime" policy. Only problem? Cover charge is $7.00.
Now, the drink would be $8.00, the barmaid gets $1.00-2.00, and the dance would be $20.00 (I'd try to negotiate an extra half-song maybe). Done right, I'd have been in the club for fifteen minutes tops, had my drink and gotten out of there, and spent a good $30.00, at a place I stopped being a regular at in part because the last lapdance I bought there (years ago) had a really drunk dancer and they had no refund policy (which caused in part my no-lapdance policy), and prior to that, I had gotten jacked on a VIP dance when my dancer was kidnapped for a bachelor party (which caused my no-VIP policy). I stopped going to this club many months ago, and figured what the hell, here's their chance to come through for me and maybe rebuild a small bridge.
No dice.
I keep my $30, find an empty bar being tended by two hot women a few blocks away, talk to them for a half hour, and they were quite pleased with the $5 tip I left them for a $2 soda. They were also prettier and more intelligent than any dancer in the strip club.
Oh well, I tried.
