Strange “dating” system in L.A.’s Korean clubs: “This is how it works: at a guy’s request, a waiter approaches a girl’s booth. He might ask politely if she’d like to be booked. More likely, he’ll grab her by the arm, drag her to a table and force her to sit down. Boy offers Girl a shot of Crown Royal and small talk ensues. But before Boy can offer another drink, Girl blurts, ‘I should get back to my friends’ and leaves. Boy shrugs it off, knowing that another struggling girl will be delivered to his table within minutes.”
