Bums In The Strip Club

  I have come to notice that bums like to hang around near the entrances to strip clubs that are in or close to the downtown areas of cities. I've seen it in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Washington DC.....only can comment on DC but yes they do hang out around all the clubs, strip or otherwise....and they probably feel the same way I do and anyone would after one trip into a DC strip club...if you are stupid enough to drop money inside you might as well give it to a panhandler.

  The bums are a warning that this is what we will look like after the strippers take all our money.

  Strip clubs are usually full of bums (but some of us have more money than others).

  So when the homeless guy with the sign walks by your window at the stoplight, do you:
  1. Roll down the window and talk to him?
  2. Give him change/money?
  3. Pretend to be scrolling throigh your phone?
  4. Put the sunglasses on, roll the window up, keep both hands on the wheel, and look straight ahead?
  
  If they have a dog, I'll give them some cash or food if I have it. Yes, I have higher regard and more sympathy for animals than people.
  Otherwise, I'm a #4.

  A guy once asked me for $$$ inside a black dive bar that didn't have a cover - he looked more broke than homeless but he could have been both.
  
  Outside another black dive on dayshift a early-20s guy that seemed semi-deranged asked me for $$$, gave me the impression he was into drugs.
  
  Those two have been the only instances I recall in hundreds of visits - I would assume most clubs would put a stop to that not wanting their customers harassed.

  I’ve been in some real low end clubs in sketchy places across the land. Yet, have never seen one homeless guy inside or right outside the door.

  I usually tell panhandlers “Sorry, I don’t have any cash.” Playing the cashless society card.
  
  I’ve never met a panhandler outside of a SC before, but I suppose that would be a difficult line to pull off as I’m entering. I guess I should be prepare and come up with an alternate response.

  I've written about it in my reviews, Bugsy's in downtown Elyria Ohio, moochers, drug dealers, and other dregs often hang out front trying to mooch money, smokes, or sell drugs when you're entering or leaving the club. My stock answer to them is 'NO"!

  I actually saw a warning in Europe not to let panhandlers swipe your credit card. Apparently a few had those square swipe readers and a smartphone. I know panhandling is almost protected in Europe, but if you are STUPID enough to do that you deserve to be taken. I know Europe has been into chips in cards for a long time, but I guess swiping is still common enough.
