Why do Strip Clubs have to have ‘specials’. Maybe I get cigar night, and Amateur Wednesdays, but why do they have things like cheap food or cheap drinks or other specials to entice people in. THERE ARE NEKID CHICKS INSIDE. If that isn’t enough of a draw, seriously?
The place in town nearby has a weed store, a porn shop, a strip joint, and Chick Fil A (not freaking kidding) all in the same 100 yard radius. You could live there. And the marquee out front of the strip joint is always touting some special.
Anyway…
Not sure if either are still there, but Louisville, KY had a strip joint and what appeared to be abortion clinic across the street from each other 5 or so years ago.
The words "strip joint" and "Kentucky" in the same sentence is just wrong !
So what are the people on this forum? not normal? LOL

In my experience the strip clubs that require a "special" have girls inside who are less special.
In the golden age of Pure Platinum, Solid Gold and the Doll House they never had to offer a lunch buffet. But if you found yourself at the Booby Trap, you are gonna want cheap drinks.

Lol went to one in Lexington in the mid to late 90's where the building had started as a 1970s brick construction steak house. Clean with paint and updated furnishings, but not really reconfigured. Lap dance area was the little overflow seating area that could be sectioned off for parties and the stage was where the salad bar had been at and based on height may have been worked in to the building it.
You know you’re in the wrong club when all the ladies look like they just birthed babies.
You know that stretch mark look and sportin loose skin bellies!

Only been in one like that, Jiggles in Ft. Lauderdale in the early 90s. When a girl finished dancing she'd then walk around the room soliciting tips. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. The bikini bars with dancers were better than that place.

Teasers in Sioux City is the last one I went to.
It's what one expects of a "gentlemen's club".
It's also on a block that has like 10 other bars and the girls are nice to look at
Problem is you feel like you need to get your blood tested when you leave.
Nothing special about this area except for you can just bar hop all night and hit up a hotel 4 blocks away.

The entirety of my misspent youth was wasted in Europe. I turned 19 as a PFC in Germany, so my first experiances with "Strip Clubs" was in a far away land that had no rules for decency.
I have walked in to a "Strip Club" and...
Had to cover my beer to avoid a ping pong ball moving at mach speeds from landing inside. The cannon that shot it was pink !
Asked why the girls each had a number. Well, much like the food and drink on the menu, so were the girls.
Actually watched a very bad dancer scratch her privates to the point that I was pretty sure she had crabs.
Coming back to the States all of this here was fairly tame.

Mons Venus in Tampa didn't have that problem 20 years ago....lol

In my career days I had to entertain customers. A Detroit auto executive always wanted to go to Jason's in Windsor Ontario and take some of his flunkies along. The women looked like they walked out of a magazine... stunning. Drinks were $10. Dance tips were more. No 'specials' needed. My boss would ask... do I dare look at your expense report? That was about 30+ years ago. Those were fun times.
Also been been to a few dancing hog shows and dollar beers.

The ‘Peelers’ as we called them over in East St. Louis, where you had the extra spicyness of being robbed going to your car. A buddy trying to tip girls with quarters..and it’s always the married guys at the bachelor parties that get out of hand and don’t want to leave. Texas, by far had the best I’ve seen. And the biggest difference was that the girls seemed to like their jobs, or at the very least they didn’t seem to be pissed to be there. Probably because they were making actual money…

Brunswick County NC had a crematorium that was turned into a strip club. It's an auto mechanic shop now. There is also a church that was turned into a bar and then back to a church. It may even be a bar again, but I haven't been there in a while to know. This wasn't just some building church services were held in. It was something were driving down the road it obviously looked like a church...even when it was a bar.
Had a next door neighbor back when I was young and living in a apartment (decent but still a damn apartment) that worked at Deja Vu.
She worked very little and made a shit ass ton of money when she did. When she came over to party she would always, without fail have a thick ass envelope of cash and not give much of a damn how fast it got spent. :)
Used to bring me swag from the club all the time. Hats, beer huggies, shirts, magazines, etc.
Was more than a handful of times that buddies of mine would come over with their girlfriends while I was hanging out with the neighbor lady and I would suggest hitting the indoor / outdoor apartment pool late at night. 9 times out of 10 if she got near the pool at night with a half a buzz - Those titties were coming out so everybody could see them. More often than not - If she went topless the other girl (whatever buddies girlfriend) would not be long before she was as well. :)
It is damn nice to have a neighbor you can party with and / or occasionally bang and then send back to HER apartment when you is done. :)
Just like a Chinese restaurant in the same strip as the pet store or Veterinarian clinic?
Florence, KY had a Chinese restaurant where the adjacent shop was a pet store.
Another fun coincidence was walking in to a state park restaurant and learning it was a special evening with Buffalo on the menu a week or 2 after some goober in the western part of the state made animal cruelty news for starving their herd of buffalo to death.
Speaking of next door neighbor ....
Probably 20 years ago I had a late 20s very attractive blonde neighbor. She had two little kids. Her day job was a paralegal at a law firm (yes, legit).
One day I went to a fairly upscale club and a minute or two after I sat down I noticed a blond stripper way across the room was laughing uncontrollably while looking directly at me. I didn't recognize her at first and I wondered why she was laughing. She got up and took the long walk across the floor to me. As she walked closer I was thinking, "she looks like my neighbor", then I though "she looks really like my neighbor". It was her, we had a good laugh, she said it's to supplement her income. I got a few dance from her and we kept our little secret. LOL.
I spent two years doing base security at the Syracuse Air National Guard base. There was a small college on base that some locals would attend night classes. A few of us working attended classes and there was this one young gal taking some classes with us. One night we go out to a local strip club and there she was, at work. We said hi, had a laugh and she directed one of the other dancers to give me a lap dance. Been to a few juice bars (full nude places) and most were pretty scuzzy.

I hope she was able to get out of that job in morally compromised situation with those low life scum and concentrate on her stripping…
Anyone else remember "Debbie Does Donuts" just across I-25 from Ft Collins? Topless with donuts and coffee, ugh!
The words "strip joint" and "Kentucky" in the same sentence is just wrong !

Easy now I resemble that statement. One thing you never hear a KY boy say, hey that skirt is too short. BBN

To answer the OP question, "Why do strip clubs run specials?". Well the answer is simple enough, to put more asses in seats. I worked as a bouncer a lot when I was younger. Including a few strip clubs. So I can tell you that like any such business it's first and foremost about the door count. If a lunch special gets some guys to overcome that last little bit of hesitation and hit the club for lunch then "boom", lunch special it is. Specials, special events, whatever are to bump the count at slower times/days.
Sure, "Live Nude Girls" seems like all the draw one should need but there are always "off peak" times. Empty seats don't tip, so dancers hate em. How girls get scheduled and paid (or pay the house) varies a bit from place to place but girls don't wanna show if they ain't gonna pull in the money. So if the bar is too slow the owner may end up with "No Nude Girls". Hot nights or times equal no specials. Same as pretty much any bar.
Like the Hair Club for Men guy, "I'm also a client". Or at least used to be. Not so much anymore. Over the years I've spent a lot of time in strip joints. I've picked up quite a bit of knowledge about the biz, but not enough to want to run one. I've dated or been friends with dancers. My first, short duration, wife was a dancer. Yeah, young LCpl., I am the stereotype. The shame! ;) She was a good gal, just didn't work out. Didn't even take me to the cleaners.
Bouncing at the shaker bars was a good time. Hell bouncing most places was fun, even the biker bar.
I hope she was able to get out of that job in morally compromised situation with those low life scum and concentrate on her stripping…
Even better, she married a rich lawyer that was able to take care of her and her kids. She sold the house and moved in with the lawyer. I hated that day she moved. LOL

When I lived in Florida, there was a rental property next door that was a constant problem. One time three strippers moved in and I thought my dreams had been answered. What I learned is young girls who work clubs that blast music for 8 hours a shift have dramatic hearing loss so on the nights they aren't working they are sitting on the front porch drinking and being loud as f because they have no idea what a "it's 2am voice should sound like."
A house full of young females is also a constant source of aggression to the point that twice one of them ending up knocking on my door around midnight asking if I could call the police because they were afraid. I wasn't a big enough ahole to tell them to go wake up somebody who cares but I wasn't excited about being the "stable and helpful" neighbor when suddenly the party house got angry.
There was no shortage of dirtbag undesirables that young females living on their own seem to gravitate towards and between incidents of seeing them piss on the side of their house like it's some kind of back alley to having to explain property lines to them it was a constant pain. And nothing will make a twenty something dirtbag more unreasonable than when he's trying to show out in front of the stripper he's trying to impress with his badassnes.
Then there was the time one of them thought she was gonna solve the neighbor problem by offering me a taste. I told her that I really wasn't into sex with condoms BUT there is no way I'd ever **** somebody like her raw so she might as well take it home. It generally didn't improve anything, I was glad when the moved to another house. Lots of drama and a house full of shit magnets.
During the time they were there, I think 18 months, they got broken into and robbed twice. After the first time when they came over to ask me if I happened to have any security camera footage I just told them "perhaps if they didn't keep wads of stripper cash on hand and constantly associate with scumbags they might not have this problem."

There are two things you should never trust. Bears and strippers.

This is the last ~2 years of my life. Not strippers, but hos with the same issues.
The benefit has been lots of MUC, situational awareness, and revisions to the home safety plan.

My ex neighbor was nothing like that. If I hadn't walked into that strip club (upscale) that day and ran into her, I wouldn't have known. She was a model neighbor and caring mom. I guess that qualified her as a MILF :)

When I was stationed at Ft. Bragg in 93-97, there was a club on Bragg Boulevard, it was either the House of Dolls or the Dollhouse (not sure which they were both on Bragg Boulevard) but they had the best lunch buffet in town at the time. And you know Joe's we all went right inside in BDUs and had lunch. They were always packed back then.

Interesting. I always had thought of strip clubs mainly at the boos-for-money level, but in reality, the boobs are just to get guys in the bar to eat and drink. Hooters is (was) a half-way model that added high-margin wings with out the bigger bare-boobs issue. So the specials at strip clubs are just a ‘second’ wave effect of trying to boost sales.
Hooters is to strip clubs what Circ De Sol is to the circus. Similar idea with out the moral issues put aside to make it more generally acceptable.

My theory is that 3Dprinters will not get much more long term adoption at home beyond that experienced by wood working (table saw, lathe, etc) UNLESS it can harness what made VCRs and the internet so ubiquitous.
My theory is that what 3D printers need are…. The ability to make Home made personalized sex toys.
(I just realized that I seem to have a theme, but that wasn’t my intent.)
A big reason that VCRs and the internet were adopted so fast and widely was porn. The VCR allowed people to view porn in the comfort of their own home. The internet improved on it by not making you have to drive to the next town to rent a VCR nudie movie.
Almost every technological advance that was widely adopted had a significant push from the sex side of its use.
Soooo, being able to print your own sex toys at home would help fit this model. Printers up to a foot in each dimension, multi materials, and soft-touch TPUs are becoming more common.

Sounds legit. Pretty much all e-commerce was pioneered by the on demand porn industry.

Easy. You eat when you eat, you enjoy the view when you're not eating. Sometimes we bought lunch for the girls who wanted lunch. That was a long time ago, seems like a lifetime ago.
