[QUOTE=Sol12;2791864]RB if my math is correct you started going to Tijuana consistently right around when COVID started so I'd say during that time the club was just happy to have clients and didn't have any rules. They also lost a lot of money with the decrease in business and the money they spent remodeling everything. So now they are probably just doing what most businesses are doing and trying to get back to some sort of normal and make up for lost revenue. I think anywhere we go now we see how prices have changed and continue to change so to talk about what things cost pre COVID seems to be a waste of time. The really bad news is that we might not have even seen the worst of it. With many speculating on the recession that is coming and the large increase in food prices to come and shortages.
The wine thing to me is just HK realizing what many other clubs do in Mexico. Many clubs have very expensive fichas since that's how most girls and the club make money. I remember about 2 years ago HK had fired or suspended a lot of girls that weren't selling fichas. It seems HK started doing the wine thing to try to get girls to drink more since it was better money compared to the small amount they get. I have yet to have a girl ask for wine but it's been a few months since my last trip.
You should definitely try some other bars and see what they offer. We used to hang out in Tropical everyday and they had a great girls working because they knew that a few clients would always be around. So if word gets out that more guys are visiting a certain bar it will get more girls to come as news travels very fast in the chica network.
Goodluck with everything and just remember how much worse it could be if we lived in a place like Kansas or something.[/QUOTE]Yeah I actually started going right when covid was ending. Some of the girls were still wearing masks. But at that time, there were literally no rules as far as having fun in HK. They really didn't apply changes until about a year ago. They hired new management. They charged me $300 to take an off duty HK girl to my room. A year ago was the first time they knocked on my door to have me buy a bucket of beer after the girl was in my room for an hour. Then they started requiring the girls to get private dances and stopping to much fun lap dances in the club. Then they introduced $30 wine for drinks. The place is still awesome but a lot has changed in the last year. I walk into Chicago and Adelitas and nothing has changed. I think they raised the price to rent a room for 30 minutes but that's about it.
