Anyone done the gentlemen's club shops?

This sounds like fun but I read people were drugged at these places. Checking the Yelp reviews of the places being shopped and it's true. Any caveats?

I've seen these. Never had any real interest in them. How are you really going to be able to take notes and focus? Also, if I remember correctly, this is with an MSC that is on the slower side to pay and usually requires more detail than the average MSC.

What is the real reason you want to do these? Is it to make whatever shop fee is being paid or another reason?

Here's an old thread:

There's still at least one more but I couldn't find the one I was looking for.

Pardon the baloney, but these shops seem just a weenie bit off!

I wouldn't touch these with my ten-foot pole.

Some excitement. More fun than than Jersey Mike's and 5 Guys shops. But after reading comments here, I'm gonna pass.

@hbbigdaddy - you got your two word answer.

Seems like the shop would be a lot of "excitement" for "hard"-ly little pay. But "that's what she said."

Who am I to judge?

I've never seen a shop for a gentleman's club. But I'm sure it would be very entertaining. No one is likely to drug my drinks or attempt less impolite crap with me. So it should be good for a laugh.

I did a liquor audit at a strip club. By the way, the shop company did not tell me it was a strip club. It was on a board with regular bars, restaurants and hotels. I knew it was a strip club before I took it, but imagine that you didn't?

As an 80's kid I'd prefer squiggly lines and some privacy instead

If you know, you know.

I have done many of these in the past. They were not difficult, and they paid well. The reports required narratives but were not difficult and were reasonable for the pay. I got paid bi-weekly since they were in NV. After I got married, I proactively stopped doing those which required me to buy lap dances.

I continued to do the one that required only that I observe stage dancers, other lap dances in the lounge area, order a delicious appetizer in the lounge, observe the lounge server, and observe bartenders. My wife accompanied me at my request. She enjoyed the food and the limo rides to and from the club. I stopped doing this shop due to the pandemic, and the client never came back post-pandemic.

Kids today have no idea what we went through!

Or 50s kids. No clue what you're talking about.

Any 90's or 2000's kids?!

If you are a girl, you probably wouldn't. My apologies if you are not a girl.

some women like porn... It's also loads of fun to watch men watch porn, so I'm sure a visit to a strip club would be quite entertaining.

Hurr hurr Beavis, you said "loads" ... hurr hurr, hurr hurr.

I must be really naive. I don't know what squiggly lines + privacy or "what we went through" mean.

I guess I had a good childhood. I will say this...as a child I thought everyone was like me. However, looking back, I realize that there were people had mental health issues continuing up to today. Some had substance abuse, I believe one had borderline personality disorder, another had issues with handling financing, etc. Today there's this "progressive left" disorder that we're slowly correcting from. And the overbearing pandemic.

I'm glad I was raised by a well grounded mother and grandmother. I played outside in the dirt. I wore hand me down clothes. We had little money but good conservative boundaries and values. Looking back, life was grand without smartphones. We could "get lost" yet stay out of trouble.

Back in the day, HBO and Cinemax were scrambled out. I don't know too many guys who were young boys/teens back then who didn't sit on those channels around Midnight waiting...and waiting to see if the scrambled lines would straighten out at just right moment to get a 1.5 second glimpse of a woman's body. Ideally, you were alone.

A borrowed Playboy mag was easier to acquire than a scrambled signal with hope.

I found my brother's stash when I was 10. Then one day they disappeared. Didn't have it when it counted, so hope was all we had. LOL

And if you had a fine tuning adjustment knob on you your tv, you might have been able to unscramble the signal just enough. Not that I would know

Way back it was posted that the shop instructions were 40 or so pages long. The guy posting was very tenured and articulate in all of his postings. But many the shop has changed.

Catching up on some posts and reading about North Korea, sports betting, and pot, it led my mind back here.

For the non-sports enthusiasts, I apologize! I remember back in the day someone tracked James Harden's performance (basketball) back in his heyday when he visited cities with well known strip clubs. It was bad. Yet, Dennis Rodman in his Bulls days (basketball) absolutely needed it to perform well. Go figure!

@sestrahelena Thank you for resurrecting the post from when I actually tried this shop! I was actually funny to read so many years later (it was terrifying at the time). Great Christmas reading!

Also a nice reminder that we have all been this obnoxious to each other going back many years. What an awesome dysfunctional mystery shopping family we have...I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Looking forward to more crazy stories in 2025.

lol the same ones in my area are still going.

The fact that it asks for itemized receipts and a photo of your cash tip next to the itemized receipt as well for a beer at the beer tub is absolutely hilarious and screams “I’m a shopper,” and/or, “I’m a complete weirdo.”

Very infrequently shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado these days.

I did one of these in a rural area of my state. The money looked good (I think it was $120) and I had some extra money to spend for expenses. Overall I just felt weird playing a part of someone who has to interact with several "entertainers" and remember their names and what we discussed. I had to check to make sure my drinks were prepared correctly and that nobody was taking money from the register. Despite the allure of going to one thinking you get paid for some exotic activity, I wouldn't do it again. Once was enough.

I've recently seen some of the gentlemen's clubs on red pins in Presto. The Visa debit fee shops. But I really don't know what they sell, other than drinks, that would make that shop worth the effort.
