Economics of a working girl
Interesting story I heard from a friend. I am confident it happened exactly like that. He is not on the Board but ok with posting.
Here are his experiences: he hooked up with one of the Romanian girls sitting at the pole dancing in the rear. They clicked so she became a regular for him. Business for her went from up to 10 customers (primarily Chinese with fast turnover times, her words) a day to sometimes 0 recently as the number of girls increased more and more. She has to take care of a kid back in Romania so that became problematic. Hotel plus entrance fee amount to more than 4000 Euro per month that need to be covered plus child support and other stuff back in Romania of another 2000. So that means basically 2 30 minute rooms a day to just break even (assuming an unrealistic 30 day per month work schedule). So that did not compute anymore and claiming to be broke she asked my friend for help so she could at least pay the hotel for the next month, being due next day. He was thinking with the wrong head and gave her the money with the promise to be paid back in cash or kind. Business remained bad so next request was the child support, being due. You guessed right. The next day. Then of course the iphone broke down and a flight ticket was needed (all that was requested simultaneously). He was rescued though just before suppling more cash when she suddenly stopped the in kind repayment and also wanted cash for the aerobics inside the club. Even she was in the beginning a rather sweet and innocent girl only working a couple of months the pure economic pressure paired with lack of financial education created a dangerous dynamic. Now both feel betrayed and heart broken and as Sharks is not that big will run into each other frequently.
So remember that before you get the knight in shining armour syndrome. It ain't going to work most of the time and in the long run you will make things worse. You not pay them for services but to leave (you alone).
