Typically, CB is the surest thing among SCs. Average CB gal is not high class, not often beautiful, almost never English-speaking... but Down-to-F.
I have visited a couple of times this first part of the month of November, and observed that they may be under some pressure to chill... Examples follow:
1. Although stage-side action is still sometimes hotter-than-average (many dancers will move their most private parts right up onto your hands as you hold a bill, and some will grind on your hand rather vigorously if you keep still), the action in the shabby "VIP" box is mostly curtailed lately. A dancer told me that she'd love to do it all, but she couldn't do it in the club, because police have been posing as customers, and the manager is nervous.
2. The "Box-Troll" (the dude who sits outside the sad "VIP" box and collects five per song upon each dancers' exit) has been turning on a bright flashlight and frequently going into the box. Apparently, this is to curtail any incidents involving exposed genitalia.
3. One dancer who seemed VERY willing to do it all was getting frisky with a customer at a table, and they went into the Box. Within the first song, the manager (or his surrogate) had removed her from the Box, and taken her into the office. She appeared to have been chastised, but I have no idea if she got fired. I don't know if the dude got expelled from the club.
4. I got a dance from a gal there, and it was only a dance, for the most part. She had been anxiously looking toward the entryway to the Box, expecting the Box Troll to check. I had my hands on her hips as she sat in my lap, facing me. She looked away from the entrance, looked at me, kissed me, and slid her hand down to my crotch. Bad timing: Here came the Box Troll, and we both got kicked out of the Box, but neither of us had any other repercussions; we just went back to a table.
I suspect this is temporary, and I suppose it is unlikely to be affecting every shift even now. But just be aware that CB management is being especially cautious lately.
