Saturday at Girlz / Starz
Spent some time at both of these establishments on a Saturday afternoon. Was at Girlz before and during the shift change and at Starz early evening.
Easily Girlz had the better atmosphere. Everyone working was friendly, every girl stopped by at least once (and only one of them only stayed once. The others stopped by multiple times). The drinks were great and tea refilled quickly and regularly. The only downside is that every time someone enters the place all the girls get up from who they're talking to to practically race to take the new customers order haha. Was a downer because the one really cute one kept getting up like 10 seconds after sitting with me because every time someone new would walk in.
Later I stopped by Starz and was immediately met by a different vibe. Had the regular interview for guys that aren't there every week. Somehow failed the interview, but luckily one of the other girls who I always talk to let the rest know that she remembered me. Go figure how I failed because I don't know. But once I was recognized, all was fine. Except the girls were all still standoffish. Only two stopped to chat during my time there. The white girl was the friendliest. My tea was empty by the time someone came to refill it. The lady with the glasses behind the counter is still very cool tho.
Overall, Girlz is definitely a preferred option for me now solely based on atmosphere. Starz is somehow overly paranoid compared to Girlz. I get the reasons for paranoia, but they take it to a bigger extreme for a reason I don't comprehend given there's nothing being done there that wasn't being done elsewhere.
