Significant Price Increase?

Stopped at Bristol in the middle of the afternoon. Layout is the same as always and still as dark as ever. No cover charge during the day. The main stage is very rarely used during the day, and even if it is - it's not lighted. 8 girls working, 6 of them at least somewhat attractive including 2 that were surprisingly good looking for this place. It was fairly busy when I arrived, at least 5 of the dancers were giving dances in the booths in back. Eventually a tall dancer sat down by me, early 30's, brunette, nice body, decent man-mades and easily the best looking one working. She could actually hold a conversation, something that's not very common at Bristol. It's been at least 5 or 6 months since I stopped in so when she mentioned doing some dances I asked her for the current pricing. She said single song dances are now $20 for topless, no-touching or $40 for nude with touching. VIP dances are 30 minutes, $100 topless with no touching or $200 for nude with touching. I heard two other dancers give the same pricing to customers sitting on either side of me. So, double the price for touching and full nude compared to what it's been for as long as can remember. In the past, every once in a while there would be a dancer who would ask for for tip upfront in order for her to go full nude, but that was rare. Now you pay $20/$100 to the security guy in the back and the other half to the dancer directly if you want touching and nude.

Not sure if this is something the dancers cooked up on their own and if it's consistent with every girl, or if it's now "official" club policy. I'd be interested to know if their sister club, The Boxxx Office in Portage, has gone to the same pricing model.

The dances were very good, but still tough to justify the price increase, there's no way I'd spend that much for most of the other girls working.
