Beth Hansen says that, until this year, men sitting at the rack on average would give her two or three dollars for each song to which she danced. Now, even when she can get customers to sit up close, the tip is usually a dollar a song.

Single moms suffer worst!

Good service has been scarce for years in most restaurants around here. I don't patronize stripppers, but my gut tells my that whatever bills wander into their garters are coming out of a household budget for a wife and kids somewhere.

I had a friend who did taxes for a few strippers, what a racket. If they are crying the blues, it's because they have less for drug purchases. Hey, that can be this guys next article, drug dealers suffer in recession!
