Make sure you won't be alone

Pro tip? If you arrive within an hour of the opening time, ask the dude how many girls are working.

That's what I should have done. I arrived maybe 45 minutes after opening on a Saturday. I was surprised they charged the $25 weekend cover but paid it anyway. Another PL had walked in around the same time. The dude asked a dancer to take the stage.

She did. Then soon after she left the stage for a private with the other guy. That left me alone with the dude. There were no other dancers, he explained. This isn't fun, I thought.
