Today a stripper told me that the manager on duty used to be the club attorney. Could this be true? Are managers paid that well? I drive a nicer car than he does. :)
In today's environment you practically have to be an attorney to own or operate a strip club.
Maybe it was his dream semi-retired job. I'm 11 years into my 2nd career (where I traded less pay for less stress and more time off than my first 20 years), and I'm starting to consider what my semi-retired job is going to be.
And if it was as a club manager of any type of club, I wouldn't be driving a fancy car to work - re Roadhouse. Mad drunks don't just go after the bouncer's cars.
There is guy that sits in the security seat. Somebody said he is the club attorney. Probably true and would make sense for him to sit in for missing manager.
Best guess is that the club lawyer was disbarred and now works for the club in a business capacity. But it's hard for me to imagine that any kind of lawyer works at Follies.
A couple years ago I walked in a grocery store and saw a lawyer in town there. He was the store manager. I asked what happened and this is the job he got after he was disbarred.
I'd imagine the main manger, if that's who youre referencing, is making pretty good money. It wouldn't surprise me if the club was grossing $6M a year. If so $200k would be a potential salary. Car he drives doesn't mean anything.
Busy clubs - Managers are making good money - busier the club the more the money. Plus a lot of side undocumented money. Now is it worth it? That is a whole different question..
Not every attorney is making a boatload. But yeah, disbarred seems possible. Hell he probably had enough dirt on them that the owners didn't have a choice.
There's a lot of lawyers who don't practice law. Many in real estate sales & insurance. Fact of the matter, there's too many lawyers ( NO SHIT, Sherlock). I know some teachers with law degrees ( and some of them passed the bar!).
In the late 1990s, at the twilight of his career, Jack partnered with another entertainment attorney, Steven Youngelson. A native of New York, Steve graduated from the University of Connecticut before obtaining his law degree from Suffolk University in 1973. Steve practiced in Atlanta from that year forward, specializing in entertainment -- particularly adult entertainment -- litigation for 25 years. Along the way Steve founded some of Atlanta's premier nightspots, including The Punchline comedy club in Sandy Springs and The Follies adult nightclub in DeKalb County. Steve's raw intelligence and innovative legal theories earned him a reputation as a powerful negotiator.
