    My neighbor and good friend in college was a stripper, and the way she talked about the customers cured me of ever wanting to go into one. They were generally repulsed by the guys.

    also my New York area strip club experience is a decade later than Zach's (and the ones I went to didn't have a buffet line) but there's also not much of it because in New York the strip club vibe is less about putting a girl through college and more about paying a girl's debts to some Adidas-tracksuit clad heavy in a former Warsaw Pact country. 30% less fun basically. šŸ˜‰

    that said, if Stringfellow's was owned by the Russian Mafia instead of the Italian Mafia I can honestly sympathize with his coworker, shorting them $1k would be worse than Bosnia.

    Demanding more clarity on the "cummerbund" aspect of Zach's work uniform. It wasn't the only thing he wore, right? I'm thinking the strip club wanted the attention on the ladies so probably he had to wear at least shirt/trousers and probably a tux and bowtie?

    but you never know, maybe Zach wanted summa dat tip money so a few days he wore his work uniform and did a sorta Magic Mike thing. šŸ˜‰
