I've gone to a strip club on my own decision once, it was for my brother turning 18, I'm not sure if that's a proper initiation into adulthood now.
Strippers themselves can make hundreds of dollars on a good night, but also have to pay a stage fee, and often are given quotas for selling drinks (they have to sweet talk patrons into buying them drinks). I usually ask them about this stuff when buying them drinks. Also, on slow nights, there's the same stage fee, only less income, same working conditions though. I wonder why male strip clubs never catch on.
