Strip Club Reports

[RobbinHoodz]

I think you are exaggerating and maybe fear mongering. It's not going to stop me. And I'm not vaccinated.

I work in healthcare and know for a fact that the largest hospital in Tampa isn't prepared for the number of Covid cases that they foresee coming. I love the strip clubs more than regular mongering but I'm staying away for a while, and I'm vaccinated.

Everyone's threat model is different but to me it's just not worth it. I could share some Covid horror stories but that's not what this forum is for so I'll just reiterate to keep thinking with the big head and stay safe.

When it comes to making decisions, we are all grown men. We made our bed and sleep on it. I'm not speaking for just myself. As someone who has to work in a hot greasy, closed in place, nothing frustrates us more by not having a healthy work life balance and not being able to go to a place you like is frustrating for me. Unlike other places in Florida, I can't find a higher density of stripclubs that dancers jump back and forth from than the Dale Mabry corridor. I simply made a recommendation for this area. Clubs in Pasco like the Vue in my opinion are safer, offer more, and are not so jam packed especially during the day. Its less likely to be a transmission site than say the tourist trap clubs such as 2001 or Mons Venus.

The general public has no idea how businesses handle an outbreak. Most retailers handle this internally sending a confidential alert to an employee who may have come in contact with a fellow worker who has tested positive. But this is where I would advise caution.

Because people have to make money, even if they have mild symptoms, the culture in this country is to come into work sick. Or the stripclub sick.

There's no such thing as an excused absence. Most places suck at giving their workers sick pay. If they don't work, they don't get paid. COVID has a 2 week incubation period so a lot of people can't lose so much money if they stay home that whole time.

Every ones situation is different. People will do what they do. Opinions are welcomed. My 2 cents is this. Going into a high population dense stripclub with limited square feet and questionable ventilation is risky. Its somewhat similar to doing BBFS with a dancer who has every STD in the book. The little head might feel good now but I don't want people to regret it later.

Many of my comrades in hospitality enjoy stripclubs because its the only thing we can enjoy after work. Props to clubs like Scores for offering service industry nights. I don't know about you but I'm not exaggerating when I say that long hours plus long commutes plus working 6 days or God forbid more. Now takeaway a hangout spot and it becomes a challenge to have a life outside work.

Its been a hell of a couple of years man.

Stay safe.

I drove down last week for a business meeting. I had an opportunity to stop by Ybor Strip. I went there looking for Vixen for no avail. I don't know if she's dancing at another club. I got hit up by a couple of Cubans quoting $300. I bailed.

I've been catching her on the Wednesday day shift lately. She's definitely still there.

Yesterday corporate asked me to come in to work a stadium area eatery. The only context given was Comicon was coming. I was looking forward to being in an area with a high density of clubs.

I come in today and got hit by why I was needed like a freight train. Gigantic COVID outbreak. Management decimated. People walking out in the middle of shifts. Many hospitalizations. It's like this in the Tampa Bay Area but Dale Mabry has been the worst.

Unless you can afford to get sick, I would recommend against going to the stripclubs at this time. Dancers move around from club to club. They frequent restaurants that spread the virus. More than a few dancers from 2001, Scores, and Mons Venus stop at Starbucks for a beverage. Later they might eat or hang out at the restaurant many workers who are exhausted and sweaty have to break down a kitchen, scrub it, sweep it and mop it.

The last post referenced a club that has a chronic roach problem. Do you really think sanitation crews are going to deep clean the bar or bathroom at the stripclubs? No way staff is getting compensated for the amount of work they have to do.

What a mess.

Whats the experience like at Charlottes cabaret?

The gold club debacle is reminiscent of many current and ongoing investigations into the clubs the last one hitting the news was the Penthouse Club disaster which could have ended badly with drunk cops endangering the public while intoxicated.

Stripclubs are low hanging fruit for police in that they often mistakenly look into places that they think are doing something wrong while ignoring quite a few restaurants, and so called legit businesses that are doing way more harm by selling huge quantities of drugs (ex. Millers ale house near FGCU in Estero, Florida).

If you were a police officer would you risk your life going undercover to stop guns from falling into the wrong hands or would a officer go undercover at a stripclub doing civil asset forfeiture stops just because someone has some cash on them and the officer thinks that cash may be used for illegal purposes. Thus its seized via exigent circumstances and revenue is generated for the agency.

Stripclubs and dancers are somewhat low risk / high reward in that for the most part, dancers are there to make money, not trouble. I wish the same investigators would focus on the crimes happening in the workplace. For example it is a crime for a eatery to pay and treat their workers like slaves for the profits to be used for the owners dish** cokehead son to drive like a madman thru town in his sportscar. Fortunately he was caught.

Just my 2 cents.

Stay safe.

Hypocrite cops blow funds for drinks and lap dances at the Gold Club on the pretense of undertaking an undercover investigation (that produced zero arrests).

Last week, After I left the Pink Pony, I decided to check out the walker strolls. Read some reviews and hit Nebraska Ave. I saw a sexy WSW who disappeared pretty quickly and then a LSW who was not worthy of me stopping. Then I saw the pink pussycat so I stopped. The place is a small dump and it was packed. A lot of dancers. Most, if not all, were Latina. I did not see that hot one alpha talked about but decided to stay a little longer. Talked to one at the bar. Latina, thick, big tits and butt, face was ok. That seemed to be the standard that night. She started rubbing her ass all over me. I rubbed the kitty as I tipped a couple singles. She turned and quoted $150 for anything goes in the back. I declined because I was there just to check it out. She gave me the digits for OTC. Alphamale1 post about this club was spot on. I already left Tampa, so if anyone wants her digits, PM me. She was not the best looking girl in the place but she was doable.

[ArmyChoc]

You paid $220 to the club for the room, then $180 to the girl? Or $180 total?

Sorry for the delay, I was travelling. It was $180 total.

For fans of Toca she's back again at Deja Vu. Enjoy.

Can you get extras at Deja?

Hey, just want to say thank you for all your hard work. I wish there are more people think like you out there, Take care.

Your welcome. My hope is for the information compiled here to save us money time, and hassle.

Forgot to mention that Deja Vu opens at 7 pm and closes from 5-6 am depending on the day.

I've also noticed that at the 3 tampa clubs I've visited that some but not all dancers and staff are wearing masks again. The Mons Dancers are actually creative in that they incorporate their masks to match their bikinis. The overwhelming response why dancers are chosing to wear masks cite the following reasons:

Even though many of the ladies are vaccinated, they can't afford to miss even 1 day of work if they get sick.

Many dancers are horrified to expose their children or a family member to the chance of getting sick.

And as a veteran of the foodservice industry, its no coincidence that my corporate bosses have just as I'm posting this, have made masks mandatory in the FOH and BOH.

Stripclubs have more health dangers in them than just Covid. If possible, I recommend for numerous reasons to only buy bottled beer or water. Some of the club bars are a filthy mess and your cocktail may have unwanted germs which can knock you out of commission. Some bars clean their barware well while others. Well not good if the barflies are actual flies.

Stay safe and healthy.

In a way, the dancers and I am in the same boat. We all have to sell ourselves in this ruthless market economy. The majority of dancers I come across came from the hospitality industry share the truth that the non stop frenetic pace our jobs which barely compensate us for this trouble is destroying our social lives. While I enjoy and dedicate my life to the culinary arts, I can't help but realize that the reason why guys like us have to go to clubs like this for any social interaction is because many women would rather date a rich guy they hate rather than try to work around the schedule of a guy who is a chef who is running a restaurant line with a skeleton crew.

If these conditions persist, the hospitality industry and society as a whole will face a day of reckoning.

Stay safe.

[NakedCowboy69]

I think he means 180 total.

Last I knew that club wouldn't go under $220, but they will be gone soon, probably taking whatever they can.
