Pop Quiz: Got Your Lineup Ready?

If the strip clubs in your area shut down again due to overactive public servants, do you have your lineup of dancers set to keep in contact with? Let's not have a repeat of last year...you know who you are lol.

Even if they don't close, they could be forced to shut down the lapdance and VIP areas. We could be back to stripper terrariums.
I’m basically down to one provider. Any more than that is a waste of one’s time, at this point in my life. I think I’ll just hang out and collect some coin so I can ride off into the sunset enjoying the twilight of my life like farmer Art and Shadowcat did.
That's a good question! I'm also getting a bit concerned.
I think as long as vaccines are still available, places should stay open. Fuck this.
I think that full-on shutdowns of all retail and hospitality, etc., are extremely unlikely (but not impossible). That said, due to the inherent physical contact that occurs even at the tamer clubs, I can see plexiglass going up around stages again in addition to mask mandates. I can see states or cities requiring that strip clubs shut down VIP and lapdance areas. I also see this being more likely in areas where clubs are seen as bad for the community. Politically, they're an easy target.
So, while all of that stops short of the clubs shutting down, it definitely impacts how much fun I can have in a club and, therefore, how much money you can make.
So, if it gets to a point where the only way I can communicate with a dancer in the club is semaphore, then I'm going to stop going to strip clubs (again).
Alas, I went into the shutdown with basically no lineup, having fired my CF and absolutely no bench otherwise. Since the shift to employee status a few years ago drastically affected the scene and reduced the number of strippers, SCing has been increasingly become a "hang out with the guys" activity and meeting an stripper with CF potential a less-likely bonus. I've spent more time on SA the past few years. We'll see how things change as dayshifts open back up
