Back in the saddle

Clubs in our area are now open. It is good to be back in the saddle again.
It will be even better when they are operating without restrictions, but it was a good start. When I visited there were a lot of guys out there and not a mask in sight, except on the bartender of one of 3 clubs that I visited.
Other odds and ends:
- Some of the girls put on some serious weight. Quarantine has not been good for them.
- One club was out of my favorite drink and another was playing games by measuring out smaller shots. Obviously they are trying to recoup some of the money they lost during the shutdown. It may take a while for these clubs to be fully back on their feet.
- I didn't sense the same hunger in some of the girls that one would normally find, which makes me believe that most of them are benefiting from other income (unemployment, etc.). It may take a couple of months or so for optimal conditions to return.
- Bar seats have been spaced out and some removed, but otherwise I did not see any great efforts at social distancing. Guys were tipping and getting dances like usual.

***I will add my cautionary note that though the asinine lockdown was stupid, Covid-19 is real and everyone should use sound judgment.
I spent the morning surfing the web checking out the status and prospects around the world. Looks like Spain may be the first to open for me but small cracks are starting to appear in other places. I think most people could probably use some relief from the rioters and pandemic doom and gloomers so when I came across the advert below for a hotel/resort that I’ve stayed many times I thought I’d share it. Maybe it amuses me more than it will others but I do know several of the girls pictured and wonder how they are doing. Oh yeah, it is hosted by @juicebox69’s much slimmer Australian cousin. Hoping we get back to normal soon, enjoy:

@Papi: It just doesn't seem fair to review them right now. I saw a lot of hiccups last night, with staff still trying to adjust to the new situation. I have enough to write solid reviews on 2 clubs (doctor, which means I actually stayed in them for a while, lol), but I'll probably let things shake out for another week or so before I revisit and write fresh reviews.
I'm also jealous hearing about all these areas with strip clubs opening back up. Meanwhile I was just happy to finally get a haircut after a 3 month period.
No need to write a “papi novella” to convey what you did learn even if it is flux.
But that's just it wall. I went in on the first day of opening, with lots of unusual misfires and hiccups. For example:
One club was out of my favorite beverage.
In the second, one bartender was pouring my drinks through a shitty controlled shot nozzle while the other used a gun for a full pour. Needless to say I ordered all my drinks thereafter from the one doing the normal thing. In this same club, nobody at all was wearing masks when I arrived, but the night manager made the bartenders and servers put them on during the shift.
In the third, drinks were being served in crappy small plastic cups rather than the tall glasses they normally use and they only had a small number of dancers all night.
Will things be like this tonight or a couple of days from now? Who knows? I'm guessing not as they'll have more of this sorted out by then. I'd rather give them a chance to get running before I scare anyone away with something that might just be an opening day anomaly. I'll be back in this week and will doubtlessly write post covid-19 reviews at that point.
