Bouncer's bathroom break costs strip club two days' business
By adamg on Fri, 11/15/2013 - 10:30am
The Boston Licensing Board yesterday ordered a two-day license suspension for the Glass Slipper because police detectives on a routine inspection spotted two dancers letting customers get a feel in a private-dance area.
At a hearing Wednesday, club co-owner Nicholas Romano said the bouncer assigned to the $30-per-customer private-dance area to make sure nothing untoward goes on had just stepped out to use the facilities and the brief amount of time was enough for the customers and dancers to get to know each other a little better - unfortunately for the club, just as two detectives from the BPD licensing division had walked in the door.
A board regulation requires dancers to maintain at least a three-foot gap between themselves and customers, even ones who pay extra for a more intimate dance setting.
Romano, who was in the LaGrange street strip joint that night, said he immediately sent the dancers home for the night and sternly told the bouncer to not let it happen again.

Good riddance!
What's next?! Consenting adults having non-marital sex?! *clutches pearls* Get the yard sticks out, boys in blue! Protect and serve!
Shocking!
I had no idea this sort of behavior was going on... and at the Glass Slipper, of all places...
I only go there
For the food.
And in-depth conversation.
...
Call me cynical....
But the way I read this is that the Cops didn't get the expected baksheesh from the strippers, or the club owner...
Yeah, I'll call you cynical
Obviously, I'm not hanging around strip clubs when cops come in (OK, maybe not obviously, so you'll have to take my word that I've never been in either the Glass Slipper or Centerfolds), but these guys write up everybody for everything. What I find interesting is why it's always the Glass Slipper and never Centerfolds that has problems like these.
More scumbags in the glass slipper...
So the code guys find all sorts of good stuff in there.
Hey, now
As a onetime Glass Slipper patron (well, in the post-Naked I world), I take … um … I'm … OK, fine, whatever.
ugh
First off, it's absurd that dancers need to be 3 feet from customers. Has to be the only city in the US with this rule.
Second, I'd love to know how often the cops "check in" on the strip clubs vs. all the other types of establishments in the city. I'm guessing they're a little more enthusiastic when it comes to swinging by these places and making sure the naked women are behaving than they are going into the Black Rose.
Question.
A patron and a dancer are in a private area. The dancer is giving a private show, the patron has a heart attack, collapses and needs CPR. Can the dancer not help the patron since the dancer can't touch the patron? So the dancer will have to waste valuable time calling for someone else? This is assuming our dancer is using their hard earned $1 bills for medical school tuition, and has some knowledge of how to perform CPR.
Yes, my question is dumb. So is this 3' rule. They're adults, and if they agree to whatever, then so be it.
NO!
You MUST stay 3feet away at all times! I'm sure they'd thank the dancers for saving a life...then bring them in front of the licensing board and suspend their license anyway.
Sheesh!
I guess a dancer straddling a collapsed person to perform the Heimlich maneuver is also out.
Well, if a person required
Well, if a person required CPR, would that make them clinically speaking, deceased? I'm guessing there is no "3-foot buffer rule" between a dancer and a corpse.
However, if during CPR the person suddenly regains consciousness, than the dancer must immediately spring back at least 3 feet, though she should probably add a few more feet just to keep interpretation out of it.
The stripper might have other
The stripper might have other issues than the 3' rule at that point. Reviving someone with CPR is technically grounds for witchcraft charges under Massachusetts law.
First rule of CPR is "Call 911 for Help"
Not that you don't know that, just putting this out there as a public service, being in public health and all ...
I'm startled that nothing on
I'm startled that nothing on that lists says to check for a medic-alert bracelet for any information saying not to give cpr/chest compressions/administration of a defribulatior. My father has an implanted cardiodeversion device and his bracelet says not to use an eternal defribulatior since he has one in his chest already. Using an external could kill him.
Brings up yet another item of discussion.
Where is an exotic dancer supposed to keep a cell phone?
