Well, here in NW Washington , one bunch of clubs owned by a certain family, didnt pay the girls anything, but charged them a fee to dance. So they had to make a certain amount to get out of the red. They didnt put a limit on how many could dance on a given night. So you can see why they got very high-pressure selling lap dances and so forth. The government has no business imposing a minimum wage, though, however well-intentioned. In King Co. they imposed a “4-foot rule”, meaning dancers and patrons had to stay 4 feet apart. Pretty hard doing a lap dance at that distance. Maybe it was Snohomish Co. and a 3 foot rule. Something like that.
Now that their patriarch has died, the family went into the bikini barista business. But their coffee stands got busted for being fronts for prostitution. A law officer also got in trouble for tipping them off with text messages when busts were iminent, etc. Apparently he received sexual favors for this.
