Some of my coworkers offer "other services" and make a lot of money this way. The boss knows about this and it is some kind of open secret that men can find these options here.

60% per Costumer (roughly $800 for 2 hours) -> Average salary ~36000/mo. $80 for food per day. +tips from costumers (undeclared) depending on their generosity
