Yeah, but once he removes the hat it is GO for him
Correct, drinks are very expensive in those bars, easily over 6 USD nowadays , and the girls get a commission on every drink you order for them. Often the lady drinks don't have that much alcohol, and every 5 minutes she will be demanding for a new one, some times she would invite other bargirls to the table and you will have to buy them a drink as well, often she would say, oh this my sister, or let me introduce you to my friends.
You can negotiate with her, to take her home, the price depends on the girl, same bar but 2 girls will give you a very different price, typically the better looking or younger ones will charge more. You have the option to take her for one hour or the entire night. Typically it costs 60 USD for one hour and 120 USD for the night.
Now be warned, often they let you pay and then try not to perform. Once I took one out for the night and she immediately fell asleep, impossible to wake her up, luckily I was able to catch and bang her early in the morning when she tried to sneak out of my room
