The value is no longer there.

I'd flown down to the bay area for 4th of July and decided to stop by during the dayshift (~3pm) the day before the big holiday. The place was rather dead, as probably should be expected. I mostly saw the regular girls working, but also a couple new Spanish girls. No 9s or 10s, although a Latina named Venus did sport a rather hot body. She was too busy for me to get dances from, but I did try dances with a couple other girls. Lydia, a thin white girl, who I had previously gotten very high mileage dances from didn't remember me at all and just coughed and complained the whole time during our 2-for-1. It seems this girl is only fun when she is drunk (or on something) but otherwise she can be a real mess. I'm permanently scratching her off my list. I tried another 2-for-1 with a new (to me) Cuban girl, short, blond, thin with small boobs, and it was nothing to write home about either. Very low mileage. Of note, they charged $50 for one of the 2-for-1 "specials" but the girl must've forgotten to give me the free t-shirt or whatever it was. Be careful that the 2-for-1s are not always $40. As this day was looking totally lost, I decided to try an old friend, a short Latina with nice man-mades and a great arse! I did a 30 minute VIP room for $200 (they have a larger VIP for $300). Previously, this dancer had charged me a tip of $150 for everything that I could want, but now she was asking $250. I had not intended to spend nearly that much, so we settled on $200. Unfortunately, the service was not a very good value. It seems money does not go nearly as far as it used to at this club, so I don't think I will be going back for a while. I will stick to clubs like Atlantis, Diamond Dolls, and some of the hole-in-the wall Tampa clubs. It seems inflation is wreaking havoc and if this trend continues at the other clubs, I may just have to forget about strip clubs altogether and go back to dating apps--these girls seem to have lost their minds. As long as the economy is smoking hot, I don't think inflation will stop.
