Bacchus, Strip Clubs and Credit Cards
11 June 2014 By Abi Giwa
Authorities in New York City have dragged a manager and some female strippers, from two strip clubs in the city to court over conspiracy to defraud clients, papers unsealed in a Manhattan court reveal.
News reports based on court statements said that apart from intoxication from legal liquor purchased with their hard earned money, wealthy clients are drugged by strippers; made the clients lose their senses and over-charged their credit cards.
According to a report by the CBS, some clients of the strip clubs involved in the shady business said that they became intoxicated, went to the bathroom and knew not how they made it home, but later discovered their credit card had been stripped naked. Some of them them say they are afraid of coming forward for fear showing their faces in public.
No thanks to the love and the power of Bacchus, and a reminder of Geoffrey Chaucer's 'The Pardoner's Prologue and Tale' and the effect of drunkenness. Although, it is the love of relaxation, watching young women dancing almost naked that takes to the strip club, there is also a tendency of spending some money on liquor and for which many clients get drunk. It is the tendency of spending money on liquor and getting high that equates strip club clients to the men in Chaucer's Tale.
There is no way a client would not drink in a strip club, because it is the strip club's source of income apart from ticket sales. And some men are known for frequency in getting high after liquor consumption. And if on top of getting high on own purchases of liquor, additional spirit is added for the love of money by the hosts, Chaucer may have come alive in the strip clubs in term of the love of money,food, drink, greed and nature.
