Says nothing.

Unless things have changed dramatically in the last couple of months, I don't believe this club has a kitchen - and they've never had a food menu. I would question anything said in this review.

Write in sentences that are understandable.

No details at all. very general. could be anywhere.

Reviewer didn't go to the club for the review but "plans" to go to the club to see if anything has changed.

I like the tongue in cheek. I wold certainly never go there to be misused like that.

"Would you not be inclined to pay a SET price that you had previously agreed to with your favorite dancer? One of the points that I raised was, if you had already had a set price for quite some time in the past with said dancer, then why go and try and re negotiate that price with her..." I agree with you, and I think this is the basis of the discontent. If you were used to paying a set price for quite some time in the past with said dancer, but the next time you come in the dancer announces the price increases by 33%, wouldn't that cause you some concern? There was no attempt at renegotiation - the price of the service was just announced. The service didn't change - just the price. And if similar service is available from another provider at the previously agreed price, where is the decision? You suggest customers need to be loyal, but so do dancers.

I've been coming to PP Columbia for pretty close to 6 years now. In my early days, it truly was 2 for 1 - $20 for a single dance, $20 for 2 dances. After awhile it was $20 for 1, $30 for 2 - not truly 2 for 1, but something less than $20 per dance. Now it's 2 for $40, or back to $20 per dance. I'll ignore the young ladies who ask $30 or $40 per dance, because I also ignore them in the club. Like many of the customers that are afternoon attendees, I'm retired and on a fixed income. I set aside some amount for every visit, and that's what I spend. The amount includes a rental car for the 400+ mile round trip, gas, drinks and dances. The 33% increase in prices just means I get 1/3 fewer dances. When the number of dances no longer makes it worthwhile to make the trip, I'll stop coming to the club. I'm not sure how supply and demand drives the price increases. My observation is that both supply and demand have decreased over the years - there are not as many dancers and not as many customers. I think economics has driven the demand (customer base) down; and if girls can't make money because of lack of customers, they find other employent, driving down the number of dancers - and it's a vicious circle, less dancers result in less customers. It looks to me more like price elasticity is the issue, and it looks like the industry is bumping up against some limits there.
