Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

But isn't the goal of free booze to make people drink more?

I assume you mean "gamble more" and the answer is: only if they're making medium-to-large bets. If you're playing nickel slots, you pay for your own booze.

For the Super Bowl, our bar does a door fee, the kitchen is closed and there's a free buffet, and all drinks except shots are free. I volunteered to work bartending and refreshing the buffet after I found out that last year each employee walked with over $400 in tips. Most employees care too much about the game and enjoy the fact that we get free entry to want to work, but I don't give a poo poo about football, and for that kind of cash, I'm happy to weather the storm.

How does the bar make money? Scratch that -- how does the bar not lose money? Is the door fee $100 per person or something?

It sounds like it's very much Not Your Problem, though, so have fun!

I would get all pedantic and argue that the “hope you” before “have a nice day” is implied because it’s become unnecessary to say explicitly. Hope you suck it, old man!

This is why English needs clearly defined imperative and subjunctive moods, damnit!

As far as I can tell, there's a huge market for terrible "restaurants" and "bars" that are basically strip clubs for men who are ashamed of actually going to strip clubs, except you don't see full nudity.

I don't understand it, but they're very popular!

I always thought going to Hooter's and the like was more shameful than just going to a strip club. At least be honest about it.

Yeah, me too. So you want to see naked people! It's not a huge deal, just be honest about it!

If I had to take a guess, I think it's also that a lot of the men want to be "flirty" (i.e. creepy and gross) to the staff, and that's paradoxically less acceptable at a strip club, and the frequent involvement with organized crime means the consequences are much more unpleasant.

Same as well. I'd think a lot of us agree with that classical definition. And it's a pain in the rear end to explain every time. And I'm a hell of a pedant.

It's technically correct, though -- the best kind of correct. Keep fighting the good fight.
