A Mystery I'd Like to Solve
I'm still learning the different characters that frequent the strip club. As it's been open since 1979, there are a good number of people who have seen The Club through a lot. One woman that came in, looking like a prostitute (I mean her nipple was hanging out, for goodness sake!), said she was there to collect the rent money. I called the manager to handle it.
The manager pulled out a rent/receipt book, jotted down the transaction, and gave the 'ho lookin woman $700.
I was confused. I thought HMIC owned the building, not just the business. Why was this woman collecting "rent," especially in the amount of only $700? We're located in the 'hood, but it's a slowly gentrifying 'hood. I paid $700 a month as half of the rent for an apartment; $700 for a whole building?
I'd like to get to the bottom of this. I asked an innocent question about it today, but my manager kinda skipped over the answer. She just told me the woman's name, not whether or not HMIC actually owned the building or what the "rent" money was for. Mysteries, mysteries. Anyone have any thoughts?
Signs You're NOT A Functional Alcoholic
If you go to work and spend all you make on drinks for yourself, you're probably an alcoholic. If you are banished from your workplace for a week due to your drunken antics and inability to serve your customers, you're probably not a functional alcoholic. That's pretty much the only sign you need.
I was wondering what had happened to Model Type Chick. It was like she breezed in and breezed right back out, but it's just that (a) she doesn't work on any of my days now, and (2) she was suspended for drinking too much on the job. Everyone is allowed to drink as much as they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with their ability to do their job. The bartenders are strongly discouraged from drinking, though, because we're handling the cash register.
"I don't know if she can keep working here," my manager said, "she's got a drinking problem and she can't help it. Plus, she's WAY too turned on to women. She'll be up at the stage staring harder than the men do. Just mesmerized by the pussy. She's way too young to be that turnt out."
But I feel like my manager is one to talk, because...
Is There A Reason Why You Keep Touching Me?
As stated before, I have a serious problem with people breaking through my personal bubble and/or touching me when I don't want them to. 99% of the time, I don't want anyone touching me. As a result of this personality quirk, I'm really sensitive to touch. You can't tell me you didn't bump into me, because trust me, I've spent .5 seconds convincing myself that you're harmless and that I shouldn't go into fight-or-flight mode. My manager is always touching my back or my waist when she has to move around me, accidentally bumping into me with her (large) breasts, playing with my hair, telling me how flexible she is, or showing me (on my body) the muscles her workout targets. You be the judge.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:
A couple comes in and they're being a little lovey-dovey; not sickeningly though. (He kissed her on the nose once and they were whispering with each other). As I take their drink orders and begin to fix them, I notice, using my PER-I-PHER-ALS (40-Year-Old Virgin... love it), the man keeps staring at me.
"Stop looking at her!" his girlfriend all but screeched.
...Trick, you're in a strip club. WTF?
