Bond notes a hit at Bulawayo strip club

The Chronicle reports that strippers at Private Lounge in Bulawayo have embraced the bond notes saying they prefer them than the United States dollar.

This is because the strippers have since the club’s inception in June, been getting US$1 tips from most patrons who in most cases, tip with the lowest notes in their wallets but the situation seems to have changed with the introduction of the $2 bond note. A stripper who spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity said:

When the bond notes were introduced, our clients were a bit shy to tip as they thought we were going to reject them. But now, they’ve realised that we’re cool with the bond and they now tip us. I really prefer being tipped in bond as the lowest denomination is two compared to the US dollar where a dollar is the lowest note. I therefore get more money if I get tips in bond. While we once in a while get $50/$100 as a single tip, it’s these smaller denominations which count more as that’s what the everyday client can afford.
