More cops, more tension — but at least I’m just slingin’ drinks

By Justice

The cops are up to their dirty tricks again. I was at work during another police visit. Luckily I was only serving drinks. It’s so creepy the way it happens. They make their busts so discreetly that business goes on as usual and the majority of workers don’t even know that the police were there at all. Strippers get called into the office, arrested behind closed doors and just disappear from the premises. The ones who are slapped on the wrist with just a ticket often are too embarrassed to mention it to other workers.

The only way I realized what was going on was when the strippers walked through the club in their street clothes to the main office. Most clubs have a strict policy against allowing strippers to be in their street clothes where business is conducted. It was just odd to see a not-naked stripper.

“Is vice here?” I quietly asked a bouncer. He nodded. If you know that the cops are on the premises you’re not supposed to tell anyone.

I told people anyway.

Everyone kind of shrugs it off as long as it doesn’t directly involve them, though. Like it’s normal, which is much creepier than anything.

I remember one of the cops. I asked him if he needed a drink and he told me he hadn’t even finished his first beer because he was too distracted. He had his hands full of busty tan brunette as he said it. I couldn’t help but notice that almost all the girls that got busted on this visit were busty brunettes. If your job required you to eat a bunch of free ice cream you may as well get your favorite flavor and if your job requires you to get a bunch of free lap dances, you may as well pick your favorite flavor of stripper too. What a cool job.

Looks like you have to stay tragically overdressed until the storm clouds roll away. Do you think your club is on the LVPD hit list? Would another venue be more appreciative of your talents? Anyway, keep your top on and your cool....your fans are on your side.

Busty brunettes? Glad I'm retired. So, how exactly does it work in regards to the $20 for the dance? I know girls are supposed to collect up front but that doesn't always happen. If she doesn't collect money for the offending dance, is it really illegal? If she collects the $20 and then "breaks the law," does she have to give to money back or does she have to keep the money to make it illegal? And, since drinking on the job is obviously allowed for officers, who's buying the beer? Certainly tax payers would be happy to hear about monies going for beer and boobs in the face all in the name of public safety.

While violent crime continues to flourish, causing untold damage to people and their property, LE is focusing on this. Absolutely disgusting. Hope they get promoted for being such hypocritical losers and get out of your hair.

Geez, those police are always enforcing rules and regulations. It's like... they think their job is "policing" the city or something. Crazy I tell you, crazy.

Regardless if it's fair or not, the law is the law. And when you willingly and knowingly break it, you have to expect to pay the price. Bottom line, you broke the law. Either refrain from doing it in the future or get the law changed. But quit whining about it.

When you're in the business of selling hard ons, then you have to expect 99% of the job to suck. That last 1% (income) somehow must be enough to keep you there. So sad.....

The behavior of that LVPD officer is infuriating.
