Dancers gave zero fucks

Brief club summary (has been described in much higher detail in the past): blue collar urban hole in the wall. Nude dancing behind glass. Two options for semi-private dances. One $10 option (no privacy) and a $20/dance option. Two for $5 canned beers in the early afternoon.

I stopped in about three weeks ago for the first time in a while. The atmosphere on that Friday evening was the worst I have seen at this club. In over 90 minutes I did not observe any dancer hustling for dances. They were almost avoidant of patrons. While there were dances happening, it only appeared to occur when patrons sought out dancers.

This dynamic clearly impacts the negotiation process. When dancers have been on the hustle, Ive negotiated package deals (5/$60 in the back)...
