Missing the old days and prices

I miss the good old days of SC. Even on a busy Thursday I couldn't make a great connection. First it was packed as expected, so it took me a while to find a parking spot with road work going on. Had to stand for a while before a seat opened up. I was there to get some dances, feel out the girls, and eventually VIP. Mainly Latina and AA, with a couple white girls. No 10's but a couple 8's and the rest 6 or 7's. Bought my drink, tipped the waitress and a girl sits on my lap. Awkward when a girl curls up on you, and she isn't your type (seemed high & smelled). Told her no thank you 5 times then she finally got the message. Pretty AA Brandy came up and made me consider lapping until see told me the VIP upsell cost. Guess regular lap dance is an insult to some of these girls so I passed. Two more average girls sat on my lap and did the same let's go VIP and asked for crazy amount of tip. Here's the thing that got me pissed. Saw a dancer that I've known for years at this club as well as others and we always had a great time. Shes happy to see me, we go straight to the VIP because it's always been good for me. Get back in there, start the dance, and she asks if I'm going to tip her. I say of course. She then says the tip is a number much higher than Ive paid several times in the past. I said no way. She agrees on a lower number but a limited menu. I paid the extra tip and got an uninspired VIP. The quantity of quality dancers have gone down, but the inflation is real. Hopefully the supply and demand changes soon
