A group of adult dancers says they aren’t getting a fair shake...
The dancers say now that clubs have to pay the women an hourly wage, management has been keeping a much larger chunk of their tips. They also claim that some clubs have been stealing their wages and charging dancers new fees ever since the new ruling, and they want it to stop.

Many moon ago, I was on a business trip with a young married colleague. The folks we were visiting offered to take us to a strip club. My colleague replied “If I want to see an ugly woman naked I can just go home”.
We were on our own after that.
Start you a club, honey...what could possibly go wrong?
Subtle.
