    Wow looks like this is a common tactic employed by these establishments! I am the latest in a long line of fools.

    I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, but it's beginning to occur to me that somebody is just posting the same imaginary scenario over and over with slightly edited details. :p

    I've never got so insanely drunk I would not know what I was "purchasing" or for how much I must be so boring.

    How much of that £1500 do you think the women got?

    Assuming they're self-employed, probably about half, taken away the card processing fees, VAT, and the "house" fee - or whatever it's called, the fee/commission paid to the strip club in order to work there.

    Then that income has to be declared to the tax man, so take away a bit more tax, plus NI, though any expenses incurred doing that job can be offset.


    For £1,500, I would've expect a dance for 225 minutes (3.75 hours), assuming that £20 would give a 3-minute dance (usually for one song). You could halve that 225 minutes if you had two girls dancing for you at the same time though (just saying!)

    I bet you haven't left your card unattended when friends of friends are around your and they transfer money form your account to an account on a casino website (per the other athread involving money and getting drunk).

    No never! ;) I don't gamble anyway, but no, it would be like leaving all your store accounts open with card details logged in. Never been that drunk, no :p

    Or maybe that this sort of thing really does happen at these sort of places...
