No need, really. There’s only the one drink—the “housevin” —and self-serve is just more cost effective. So, instead of bartenders or waitresses, each table has a metered tap that’s pretty useless when it comes to spilling your guts. But theydo accept coins and bills and credit cards, all for your convenience. When they’re working, that is. When you don’t try feeding them a twenty that’s been out of circulation since before the change, only to find out, now that it’s too late, that it’s all you’ve got.
He’s decided to give himself up to the night—maybe his last—with an open (but empty) heart. That’s the way my evening started. In that kind of mood, making those kinds of decisions. It didn’t take long to see the error of my ways. By the way, if you want to get a feeling for how much the world’s changed, just go to a vampire strip club. If it wasn’t for the poor lighting, the bouncers, and the half-naked women, you’d swear you’d stepped into a grade school from before.

During World War II, I was a patriotic one, limiting my feedings to German cuisine. A little later, I went through a monstrous phase, limiting my feedings to pretty much anything with a face. Then there was vegetarianism, with its strict diet of coma victims, followed by a streak of vigilantism, when I went around killing those folks who just needed killing. Eventually I got tired of coming up with excuses and let hunger and opportunity decide. But then there came this time when the guilt seemed to back up on me and I started hunting in packs as these jokers have done here.
