Customers are ID'd for age and at my favorite club, those under 21 must wear a glow in the dark wrist band so that the waitresses, etc know not to serve them alcohol.
But what about the dancers? They can strip at 18 but in most states cannot drink until they are 21. Management checks their IDs when they start stripping but who checks them for drinking. With so many dancers working and not carrying their IDs, how can bar tenders and waitress'know who is legal and who is not? They cannot be expected to remember who is legal and who is not and turn over among them is high. And what about the customer? How is he to know? Could he be held legally responsible for buying an underage dancer a drink? I know that under age dancers are getting shit faced.
This is a good question. I was wondering the same thing a couple weeks ago. I was with a dancer who I met last year and she told me she just had just graduated high school. Well a couple weeks ago, she tells me she is 24 (she looks 19). I called her out on it, and she was like "why would I lie to you about my age being old - women lie to make themselves younger". She did smell like she was drinking but she had just arrived so it was probably before coming into work.
I told her fine, lets prove you are 24 by going to the bar and getting a drink together. She laughed and told me we can go back in the middle of the song to start. I did end up getting 3.5 good high mileage dances from her.
