Hong Kong Club Reports

[Captain Solo]

JamesKm.

Yep. Strip clubs in US have clipboard guys watch girls like hawks, sticking their ugly faces into dark VIP booths, counting every song and every lap dance to take their cuts.

If HK takes down chicas' names, it can only be for charging them for the arribas. Cascada does the same thing, taking down names every time they rent rooms with guys so they can give them kick back for the room fee. 20% of $18 is $4.50 for each use. Even street girls get a 20 pesos kick back from Cascada every time. Paola told me about this incentive system. Strippers have to kickback about 20% of their tips to stage hands. Everyone is on incentive.

It's likely HK debits each girl a daily fee to work. They are expected to offset this fee with fichas and / or arribas credit But $300 a day is way too high, more likely 300 pesos which the girls can pay for with 3 fichas or 1 arriba. Believe me HK and putas bars are not the International Red Cross. They would never let any girls use their venue to make money without charging them. These guys all have comprehensive incentive plans for everyone working in their bars, designed to maximize their profit.

HK could teach Fortune 500 execs how to maximize profit while screwing their fresh, sexy inventory with high turn over.

Then it's a miracle that HK is still open then if they're not taking a house fee. A place that is running 24/7 with the number of staff that it has would surely go bust. Think about it 100 girls x $300 = $30000 a night. You can only make so much selling alcohol, and the mark up isn't as bad as a like a nightclub in NYC. Also, a house fee wouldn't be considered pimping; it's paying rent as an independent worker.

Like I said, what I was told was directly from a girl. Like I truly don't see why she would make this up.

Are you kidding? The profit on the beer alone is staggering. The retail price of a bottle of local beer in OXXO runs around 17 pesos. Under $1. The wholesale price is going to be maybe half of that, give or take. HK sells one for $5. I am told by the relative of one of the bartenders that the ficha beers are free to the club. A sort of "bonus" for buying lots of Tecate, or something. I don't know. Anyway, they sell each for $9, of which they kick back a paltry 30 or 40 pesos to the girl (or whatever pissy little amount it is now). The gazillion meseros running around don't cost them a centavo. Every mesero who works there has to pay to work. How that's legal I have no idea, but it's true. Technically Cascadas Hotel is a different company, but that's a polite fiction. What's the going rate for a room now? $20 for 30 minutes? Have they pushed it up to $30 yet like Chicago? With or without cuts of the girls' earnings, they are making bank. Or at least pre-Covid.

I found this video on the internet. Two guys are allowed only 1 hour to film inside Hong Kong Club (before Covid 19). Here is the link enjoy https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.p...h59de2fa478ce2.

I don't know if girls pay, but HK ain't hurting for money. They get a big cut of that 9 dollar 20 cent beer the girl drinks. Your 4 dollar beer cost them probably 60 cents. Then you got the ballers who drop 3 grand on liquor no problem. The waiters pay to work.

That's pretty messed up. Not sure if it's still the same from when I went a few years ago, but I remember a chica that turned into a temp GF during my stay saying that they only paid a flat house fee of $300. Granted, this was like 3-4 years ago. If they're also taking a cut of from going upstairs, then that's pretty messed up. Like I know in the US, strip clubs will either take a percentage of all lap dances (hence the omnipresent "clipboard guy". Hate that fucker) or it's a flat rate. But to take both is messed up.

You false beliefs of how money flows in Hong Kong Bar is laugh-out-loud funny.

There are so many incorrect funny things that you believe.

Like that Hong Kong Bar could ever get a flat $300 house fee from their chicas.

And then charge the chicas a cut of their sex session fees on top of (in addition to) the flat $300 house fee. Hilarious!

But your closing joke of Hong Kong paying each of the +100 chicas that show up $300 a night is a great closer for your bit. Don't change it. I'm still laughing.

I have noticed that when I buy a ficha the mesero makes some kind of note or does something to a small piece of paper and hands it back to the puta. I think the chica first hands it to the mesero. I saw it once and it has numbers on it. Can't recall all the details because I'm usually pretty drunk and not paying that much attention but I have seen something like that so not sure what's going on. I definitely saw it the last time I was there in early March before the lockdown.

It's a receipt, they make money out of every ficha. That's how they track their earnings and collect their pay.

Wow. And here I thought that the clubs' primary purpose was for laundering money. How naive was I?

If you stay out of the bars. The risk of COVID in Tijuana is no higher than anywhere else. You are just as (if not more) likely to catch it in the US, from going to a restaurant or a grocery store. If anything. Businesses and residents of Tijuana appear to be a lot more diligent practicing COVID safety than what I see in the US. Restaurants and other businesses in Tijuana have implemented strict protocols with temp checks, wiping of feet, bar-codes for menus, etc. Also just about everyone is masked. That is a complete opposite of the US, where COVID safety is a complete shit show.

I love the magical floor mats in Tijuana in every store bar and restaurant have. We would of solved coronavirus by now in the states with this secret maneuver.

What you've been told and much of what you read on here recently is absolutely 100% false. Chicas don't pay a house fee. There is no ficha quota. House takes ZERO cut of any chica's proceeds. I guarantee 100%.

I don't want to devolve into a COVID / political argument here. But I agree with Cytek. COVID isn't crawling around the streets of Tijuana, looking for gringos. The best news for all of us is our protection is within our control. If you implement safe measures for yourself, whether in the US, Tijuana or Wuhan, you are increasing your odds. If you are a fool, like I am, going into cramped and densely populated indoor rooms, you know you are increasing your risk. Obviously, this virus doesn't stop at a border. So use your common sense, evaluate your underlying health risks, determine your comfortable risk level and act accordingly. Your behaviors, actions and preventative measures play an infinitely greater role in your safety than whether the restaurant you are at is in Tijuana or San Diego.

...there is a tie between the number of arribas and the number of fichas. More arribas mean they must sell more fichas. That's why the robe guys track the in and out. The chicas have to balance that correctly or they do not earn their full share. That is why some of the smarter chicas will meet you during their "break".

I can confirm this firsthand.

You can't confirm what doesn't exist. No way arriba time is tied to some sort of ficha quota. I guarantee 100% there is NO FICHA QUOTA! The exact same thing happens Eevery single time I debate anyone about the existence of a ficha quota. I post facts and indisputable evidence. My detractor fantasizes about being a manager at HK and about the ficha policies he would implement. He then posts his made-up ficha policies as fact. Anytime there has been a ficha quota debate, I cause my detractors to contradict themselves. Every-single-time with zero exceptions. Not once has anyone posted any shred of evidence of a quota.

The clipboard guys keep track of the putas because they must work 8 hour shifts Sun-Wed and 9 hour shifts Thur-Sat. They don't want the putas leaving early. Of course management keeps track of where their putas are. Many putas are bored when it is slow and they just want to go home. Notice in the quoted post there is some sort of "magical" formula to balance arribas and a quota but conveniently the formula is not explained? Well that's because it doesn't exist. If if did, how do you explain chicas that are arriba-only? I personally know some putas that refuse all fichas and just go arriba.

USA Has dropped the level 4 Do Not Travel to Mexico. I was patiently waiting for that exact moment to go back to Tijuana, but for numerous guys to openly admit they have / had COVID and contracted it there, it ain't no fuckin way I risk exposure. Well it's safe to say that no place in Tijuana is safe, so stay safe everybody.

The speakeasys are not quite the same. May even be a bit dangerous with this virus. They certainly can be fun so mask up and take your chances or just wait till things get back to normal.

Had a blast hanging with PDsuave and ROG123. Rog was able to pass his 2 word spanish lesson as he told every girl he saw zapatas hermosa even the ones who were not wearing shoes jajaja.

Do you think next time I can get away with telling him Te Amo means Hello ?

OMG unless you were there it's hard to see how funny this was LOL thanks brother!
