Floozies and free flu shots for seniors at Orlando strip club
Filed under: Entrepreneurship, Health
I dropped $25 at Walgreens on a flu shot last week, and wasn't amused for even a second. Sitting amid shelves of vitamins and adult incontinence products, I was unaware of other options until I read a story about seniors at Rachel's Gentlemen's Club near Orlando, Fla., who were receiving their shots free. I'll bet they never even noticed the needle go in.According to WHTQ.com, the strip club has been doing great business with the senior set, especially at lunch time when they descend upon the complimentary lunch buffet. The club managers have been offering the free flu shots for six years, which are administered by a registered nurse in the club's VIP room.
The club also gives free shots to any resident of its host community of Casselberry, as well as all city workers. I imagine many a local male resident has pointed out to his wife how much money he could save by visiting Rachel's for a shot. I doubt many of those conversations have gone well, however.
If you hate the idea of visiting a doctor's office, perhaps a quickie (shot) at Rachel's would be less ... stressful. Just don't try to tuck a five-dollar bill in the waistband of the nurse's uniform.

Hey, what's the back story to the picture? I remember reading that the picture was done by a grade-schooler whose teacher freaked out only to find out that the picture did NOT depict a stripper but I forget what it was really supposed to be.

It was a girl who drew a picture of her mom, that worked at Home Depot(or Lowes), and was selling snow shovels to people. xDDD

The owner of Rachel's is a crook and a criminal, yet he is savvy enough to work the media to appear charitable and get free publicity. He is a millionaire, yet a notorious cheat and WELCHER.

If you watch the news, look at all of the criminals that ran all of those so called honest cooperations.......Enron, Health South...etc? I never heard of them giving out free flu shots or giving our free lunch buffets. They probably paid alot of strippers for their private parties, that were paid for by their employees' retirement funds. Atleast, he was doing something kind for the elderly.

All I can say is I have been going to Rachel's for over 20 years.I consider it more of a Social Club than a strip club.I have taken many a client there for lunch where the same chef has been there over Twenty years. Hats off to ya Chef Rick.All in all Rachels is a long standing part (tax paying I might add) of our community and no matter what a select few in Casselberry would have you believe. Rock On Rachels!!!!

Why is this post entitled "Floozies and free flu shots"? Why are you referring to strippers as floozies? Seems pretty disrespectful to these women in my opinion.
