Question on gals plopping down and sitting with you
The way I look at it, many of the bars are driving away potential customers.
Firstly, my mistakes are: I would see a gal I want to get to know and I would plant myself a seat or two or maybe on the next part of the bar a bit always from her. But next thing that happens is another gal that I am not interested plants herself right next to me starts talking. With out offending I continue the conversation but ultimately leads to her asking for a lady-drink and I say no finish my beer and go off. So with that I recommend you sit yourself right by the girl that looks good to you.
About the other business practices, I see a lot of bars letting the girls take up valuable real estate of the bar. The outer parts of the bar where people can people watch. I passed many a bar where I could have had a beer but kept going because the gals are sitting in those seats, where I would like to sit.
Oh well.
