Yeah exactly mate, that's what would have went down. Except that the guy said she'd be available at 6:30pm if I wanted which made it all the better to have two punts in a row (I don't smoke so I'd just be killing time if I had to wait 30 min anyways).

Also, that's what I mean - I have no idea how the joint operates; who is part of line up, who is booking only etc and whether or not they introduce and I pay the girl or they introduce and I pay management.

Everyone does things differently, like you said - Venus is now booking only but before she used to be part of the line-up, I have no idea.

There are so many ways around it but none of it was clarified. All that was clarified was that I had to pay 1.5 hours in advance for Venus before I'm allowed to look at any girls. And when I said no thanks, I'll just wait for Venus - he had already crossed my name off and then proceeded to tell me to wait for him, which took about 20 minutes. After being completely mindfucked by him, he tells me to go away.

edit: Also I think you randomly got carried away in your last paragraph haha
