I object to the proposed amendments to the ABC regulations governing operations by retail licenses. I have been working in the gentlemen’s club business for over 15 years, and I do not see a need for the new separation rule from customers. We know we can’t touch private parts or simulate sexual activity. It’s hard enough to do our jobs without worrying about what specific distance we are from customers. I never know when a customer is going to lean in to try to talk to me, shake my hand, pass me their business card, or tip me. But if they did that would be a violation for me or the club. That rule would be unnecessary and totally unfair. As long as the customer is not touching my breasts or other private areas (which is the current ABC rule) why would it be a problem if I shook his hand or if he put his hand on my shoulder while he spoke to me? It certainly wouldn’t be sexual. We are already separated by a stage, why would any further separation be necessary? Respectfully I object to this proposed new amendment.
