A friend of mine did a short stint as bartender at a strip joint in Montreal while she was looking for a better job. She never stripped, she just made drinks. She told me some of the shit that goes down in strip clubs behind the scenes: disgusting.
First off, the place was run by mobsters. Many if not most of the girls employed there were addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, many of them are hookers on the side, and the hookers (of course) have pimps that mistreat them. There was even a guy who bussed tables and did the cleaning who had rendered himself basically retarded through drug use, and he had done a porno and gotten HIV. Her stories made me want to just jump out a window. I couldn't believe there were people living like that in this country. Utter misery.
If you have any compassion left for this chick at all, you'll do what you have to do to convince her to quit and get a proper job.
Hmmmmm I think if it's about compassion then you have to look at the end user. Perhaps people should stay out of peeler joints, not avail themselves of hookers. Kind of a which came first the chicken or the egg argument.
