Strippers on the phones instead of making money

Times have definitely changed lately at the old TB Lounge. The parking lot is around back with plenty of space. When you walk in, the bathrooms are to your left. A new change is that you now pay the cover ($10) and have to walk through a metal detector. There have been some shootings at clubs in recent years, so I guess they are being cautious.

I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a bottled beer ($5). The bar is to the left when you walk in, and there are some pool tables in the center of the room. Across from the bar is the stage, but there were no girls dancing. I counted probably about 6 other customers and about 10 dancers (a decent mix of White, Black, and Latina). The girls were all pretty good-looking.

However, the girls did not seem particularly interested in making money that night. One girl was sitting with a customer, and two others were shooting pool with a couple of other customers. The rest were either talking to each other or on thier phones. There were three customers, including myself, just sitting at the bar drinking beer.
