Orlando Strip Club Gives Seniors Flu Shots
Amid the shiny stripper poles, strobe-lit stages and scantily-clad performers at Rachel's Gentlemen's Club, you'll find Barbara and Sylvia, two old beauties who come for the free food and flu shots -- and stay for the ambiance.
"I love it, I want to know where the girls got those sexy stockings that stop up here. I need some of those," said Sylvia. Every year around this time, the flesh den in the small town of Cassleberry, north of Orlando, offers the shots in a setting way more exciting than a sterile doctor's office.
And the return of the complimentary lunch buffet has geriatrics coming in droves.
"I hope it's not my last meal...I think Rachel's should be commended for doing this for the seniors, really," Barbara Becker told WESH as she waited for her shot yesterday.
It's Rachel's sixth year of offering the shots, which includes the lunch buffet free for seniors and veterans, as well as all Casselberry residents and city employees.
The gray hairs don't seem to mind the skin show.
"I think it's great. I wish I had some of these figures like these gals do, they're beautiful girls," Becker said.
If you're hoping to get the shot from a stripper in a sexy nurse outfit, no dice. The shots are administered by registered nurses in the club's VIP room.
"A little uncomfortable at first, I actually texted my wife to try to find her and go right to her immediately," Casselberry resident Tom Rogenski said.
Club employees said they just want to help the town.
"At this time with the rising cost of health care, it's a great way to give back to the community," said Rachel's food and beverage manager, Kevin Ruscitti. "We're proud to be a part of this community and it's a chance to give something back."
If you're thinking about getting a flu shot, but a trip to the doctor's office makes you squirm like a six year old, you might want to make the trip up to Cassleberry. The club is scheduled to give the flu shots again on Oct. 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What others are saying
- The girlsEven though the girls work at a strip club, it doesn't make them sluts, easy, prostitutes, or std carriers. It makes them girls who work hard to make the money they need to live off. I think Rachel's is doing a great thing by giving out the shots. Also, if the seniors like it and enjoy themselves, good. :)
- Thanks to Rachel'sI think that is great that Rachel's does this for the people of Casselberry. The people that do the shots are very nice. The staff at Rachel's are very nice as well. If more business owners would things like this for the public it would make life easier for many of us. My mother whom is 84 is going there as well to get her flu shot. too bad they have a shot they can give Becky to rid her of stupid!
- flu shotWe'll If you don't want people honest opion you should ask for feed back I am not going to make something up for you blog. I told you how I felt it the truth so many people feel the same way already know I am not going to glamours striping /prostitution for your benefit.
- flu shotI Think it is disgusting to get a flu shot in a stripe club. The women in there probably have there own diseases that those seniors should worry about I sure it's worse than the flu. More like Aids, Herpes,ect....
- Pole dancing vs StrippingA rose by any other name...
- Nice article, but I thought I'd point out that the accompanying picture isn't a strip club picture, it's an Australian pole dancer Susie Q from a professional pole dancing competition, and it is offensive to the professional pole dancing sport to associate pictures of our performances with striping (pole dancing is not striping)
