Current State of Strip Clubs

I know there was a recent discussion of this, but I'm too lazy to go back and look it up.

On a recent visit I was talking to a stripper about the topic of strip clubs and their future....she actually brought it up and said she didn't think strip clubs would survive. I mentioned the webcams, economy, porn, etc. Then she started a semirant about how she wasn't making any money, that other strippers in the club were seeing customers outside the club, letting customers finger them in the VIP, how she used to make $500-$700 a week and now she's lucky to make $250 working 5 afternoon a week, yada yada.

Then she sees a customer at a table in the club and says "I'll be right back", and of course never does. And she wonders why she doesn't make any $? Gotta love it!
