Arrived before 11 pm to a not so crowded house. There was plenty of room near the stage or at a booth. There were plenty of sexy dancers working, most were 7's and 8's, with maybe a couple of 9's. I tried to keep track of who was working, as I tipped pretty much all of them on stage. Dominique, Neweva, Devin, Jada, Brittany, Brandy, Nicole, Savannah, Liberty, Lexi, Sebastian, Marcella, Carissa, Veronica, Alana, Riley, Sicily, and Ricky.
While most dancers were very friendly, few made an effort to sell dances. Maybe 4-5 actually stopped by guys on the floor. The rest hung around the upstairs bar for a smoke, gossip, or their regulars. I've been here before, so I knew the deal. But still, that's just not good business. Eventually all of the hustling girls did stop over and solicit dances, and I was interested in most of them.
However on this night most were "stripper union representatives. " Almost every dancer wanted $300-$400 for VIP dances, or only wanted to do slap and tickle stuff for $150. I had plenty of money, but don't like to contribute to Stripperflation. I couldn't even anyone down to $250!
After a while I moved upstairs to the smoking bar and spent about an hour up there. I don't think more than 4-5 VIP dances happened the whole time. These chicks were going home broke tonight. I can hear them now, "last night was so dead, I didn't make any money!" I bet the prices will drop by the end of next week, when they start thinking about rent.
I chatted up several girls and bought them drinks while I negotiated. Some were kinda pathetic with their reasoning. I think it was Veronica that claimed she could make way more than $200. I countered with, "I've been watching you stand around and text for an hour. And you said you haven't done any dances all night. Now I'm offering you $200. ".
She says no and defends herself by saying, "well I'm going to go walk around, and I'm sure I'll get double that. '.
I say, "Haven't you ever heard a Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush? 200% of nothing is less than 100% of something. " This was the most confusing thing she ever heard. I saw her come back up after 30 minutes of sitting with other guys. She didn't do any dances.
I went over to H8 and, as I knew That was a sure thing at a lower rate.
