Okay. For about a year now, Barefax has been forcing a $5 fee on booth "rental" for each transaction upstairs after 7pm. Not during the day, during the week.
If you go up once and spend an hour with a lady, it costs $5.
If you spend the same amount of time between 4 ladies, $20.
They started out saying it was to cut down on disagreements because they would record time and boooth. They aren't even keeping up this tiny pretence anymore. If the girl isn't there to take your money, pay the DJ.
Last night I tried a little experiment. I paid to get upstairs, then just had the girls cycling into my booth one after another. I got away with that a few times before someone noticed and said I had to pay each time. When pressed, they didn't really even have a rule or set of rules, they just wanted the money.
I said, "fuck that" and left. A couple of ladies were unhappy about that because a stupid $5 fee cost them a hundred dollars or more each. They would have paid the fee, but I said that wasn't the point.
This was after confusing the bouncers downstairs. I had come in without a jacket, having left it in the car. One bouncer wanted me to pay a cover, but the other recognized me and thought I had been in previously. He let me in with no charge. I don't know if he was just confused or was giving me preferential treatment because I'm a regular. However this is the same guy who wouldn't let me use the upstairs ATM without paying the $5 fee last time.
For my fee, I'd like to see the booths cleaned between uses.
If I feel like venturing out at night in the future, it'll be Pigale's or Playmate
Question: do they have this ridiculous surcharge on weekends as well?
