The cost of doing business
Straight from an Orleans' fillies' mouth as of last night. Management has raised the daily table fee to 100p. And, there is a 30p "consumption" fee for a monger before he can leave with a chica. Apparently this went into effect last night or starting today, that wasn't clear to me. It'll be interesting to see how the consumption fee works out, or doesn't. I was told if the monger doesn't consume 30p worth, or nada, the chica makes up the difference out of her pocket.
Doing the math, it's no wonder why the chicas here have been jerking up their rates so much over the past two years. The screw here gets tightened so much they don't have much alternative.
