Hook

[QUOTE=DaddyRulz;444887]There is one of them that I offered 1,000 to swing by my place before work, fuck me, then walk into work with the baby sitter and transportation paid with some left over. I would have done it once or twice a week and she fucking passed. Not to mention my place is a block and a half from the club.

We all know another chick that works there that has a guy that would set her up for fucking life and she can't even be bothered to go to dinner with him.

They are shitty business people who have no understanding of their market and they suffer for it. No sympathy at all.[/QUOTE]I sent the chick I was talking about in this post a message last night. I like her and I was a little worried about her, I wanted to see if she was ok.

What a surprise, suddenly my offer that [B]used[/B] to be [I]muy poco[/I] was suddenly acceptable.

DR.

I received a report from a credible source (Blond Ambition) who said the guy that owns the place called her and said they would be open tonight.

I do not warrant this information, just passing it along.

DR.[/QUOTE]About 20 girls, most of them the same chicks that I was ambivalent about before but there were some lookers. About 10 guys when I was there which was between 12:30 and 1:00.

Drinks for both guys and chicks are now 250 (expensive fucking water if you ask me) I didn't ask about the rules regarding leaving.

Ashtrays are gone and no smoking is being enforced.

As I came down the street I saw about 8 former Exedra chicks hanging out in front of Exedra and there were a mix of about 20 chicks from both Exedra and Ness at the corner of Suipacha and Paraguay. I didn't speak with any of them so I can't speak to pricing at all.

Like Exedra, Marcello T, and Newport they are just making the chicka and customer drinks the same price. The waiter that used to work at Catto told me that the chicka drinks are no longer the little thimble of colored water they used to be, they are regular drinks.

They elected to go up, but all they did was remove the two tiered pricing.

Curious business Hook opening. The same price for drinks might eliminate the two tier pricing that was reported to be a problem at one time. It'll be interesting to see if other boliches follow suit. Of course there was no "dual pricing" at Exedra so the whole thing remains a bit of a mystery.

Possibly the post is about the non-chica prices. Hook offers a full bar - from 150 peso bottled beer up to expensive bottles of champagne.

Perhaps Hook as increased the 150 peso beers to 250 pesos, so it's the same price as the chica drinks.

There has been a bogus issue used to close the clubs, claiming that because the same drink for a chica was more costly than a drink for a man that it was in some way discrimmatory - I kid you not:-)

Actually, it's a legitimate issue, because when the bar overcharges for fake drinks, it is making money off the women and therefore pimping, and pimping is illegal. This is Section 840 or Ley 840 and has been around for a long time. And, of course, it's pretty clear that charging different prices based on gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation is the very definition of discrimination. Then there is the issue of fraud and theft, since Hook did not ever give the chica the actual drink that was paid for. Then there is the other issue of theft in how they would pad the bill, give the wrong change, and give counterfeit bills in change. But you just keep on drinking that Kool Aid, if that is what works for you.

And, of course, chica drinks have not "always" been 250 pesos. They were 25 pesos when I used to go there. Almost any statement that starts with either "always" or "never" will run into factual issues.

Dropped in briefly last night for a close up eyeballing. Too early to assess the chica situation, but yes, $250 for drinks across the board.

You mean 250 pesos, correct? Not 250 USD. Worried that some may misunderstand or that I need to change future travel plans.

Pete.[/QUOTE]Pesos to be sure.

The $ symbol meant pesos long before dollars were created. The prevalent theory is that it evolved from superimposing the 's' over the 'p' when using the abbreviation 'ps' for pesos. Therefore, it is used not just in Argentina and the United States, but in Chile, Uruguay, México, and anywhere else where the currency unit is pesos.

Tuesday through Thursday next week will be the true test I would guess.

My personal theory is that the Chinese guys all threatened to leave the country if the boliches remained closed. :) I do not have any facts but i do believe China is Argentina's lifeline right now.
