"Certified and insured, thankyouverymuch"
Evidence you're in Las Vegas:
A couple of weeks ago, I went to the main post office branch and stood in line to send out a package. As I was waiting, the clerk called out "Next" and a portly man of about 6 feet approached the counter. After a moment of bemusement, I realized that he was an Elvis impersonator; he had the jet black hair, coifed in that famous way, and his rounded face bore a slight resemblance. But what was really funny was that he was wearing jeans and a casual button-down instead of the usual get-up. You know, just your run-of-the-mill off-duty impersonator engaging in his quotidian activities.
Even Elvis impersonators have to run errands during their day off, and I suppose I shouldn't expect them to put on a hat or another wig when doing so.
And speaking of queuing, recently, while Lee was waiting in line to get a money order, she spotted some off-duty strippers with huge wads of cash in their hands. Tip money, you see. Hey, unless they put it under their mattresses, they're going to have to wait in line somewhere to make deposits.

Your use of quotidian is just plainly offensive and unnecessarily pedantic. I like it.
he's competing with liam for 'most pretentious vocabulary everrrr.'
I always assumed that the strip club took the money from the strippers and then re-divvied it out, like tips at a restaurant. Or just kept all the tips and paid the strippers a flat per-dance rate. I guess I don't know much about stripper economics.
you mean strippernomics.
I think if the money touches lip then its definately an individually earned tip.
is it just me or are your observations sometimes out of order with respect to when you observe them? Not that that's wrong or anything, i'm just saying, it's like it's not a blog, it's some edited form of your life. how charming to not merely be a digital version of gleanings.
oh, also, as to how strippernomics works, if famous nyc strip clubs are indicative, here's how:

it's really awful, actually. the pay to play scheme. way too decentralized for the door man to make money from the girls, etc.
well, i wasn't blogging when the described events occurred. so posts from now on will likely be more linear.
And I thought stripping was easy! dude, the girls have to pay freakin' EVERYbody - even the washroom attendant, even when they don't use her toiletries! And they must, once a shift, prebuy merch from the club giftshop to sell on the floor. Wait 20 minutes, and you get no refund..brutal. You need an advanced econ degree to even figure out their incentive structure.
