Crusty straws and a rip off

Stopped in for the first time in a long time. And tried the VIP for the first time ever. I always suspected it was a crap shoot ripe for exploiting infrequent patrons. I was right. Paid 15 entry and another 5 for a non-alcoholic drink. Right there it pales in comparison to most clubs which have no cover and you can buy a cold beer for near the same price. Limited staffing, same guy who collects the cover also gets your drink. Took a sip and noticed something odd about the little straw, it was hardened but still somewhat pliable. In other words, crusty. There was one dancer on stage who was spending all her time near the sole other patron barside. Chatted with another dancer off-stage who I guess was looking for customers. She offered VIP but wanted 200 total for fun. She wasn't my type so I passed. Later the first dancer came off stage and I tipped her and we chatted. Her name was Brandi. She agreed to some limited fun for the basic 125 fee for 15 minutes, so off we went. VIP was all right, a little bright. Well Brandi was down for some very limited play with her natural Cs but not much else. She attempted a significant upsell and it was useless reminding her what we had agreed on. I cut my losses and walked out within 5 minutes.
