Inflation's a bitch

After leaving Cheeks, I crossed the street to Wise Guys to see if the pickings were any better. I've had a pretty good time here twice before, so maybe once more.

I came in, ordered a bottle of water and paid the $3 cover. Checked out the board - 5 girls. Paris, Talia, and 3 forgettable ones. Paris was a cute little spinner with a bubble butt. I would have loved to talk to her, but she was occupied with some guy. Talia came over to say hi and we chatted for a few minutes then she went up on stage. I followed and tipped her a few times before going back to my seat, asking her to come see me.

After her set she comes over and starts rubbing on me, giving me the ol' WP Handshake. It's not too long before we start talking about VIP. Both other times I've been here, it's been $150 with no need to haggle ($100 to the girl, $50 for the room). I'm expecting similar this time around, so I ask. She tells me $250. I tell her my past experiences and she tells me no way. I keep pressing and raising my offer. She won't budge off that number and tells me no other girl in the club will either. I end up telling her no thanks and heading out. She was a beautiful, sexy girl, but I can do better than that. Don't know if she's feeling like she's got more leverage after FOSTA or what, but I'm not getting taken advantage like that.
