However this time they were surprised that the troublemakers were the staff themselves.
The Blue Nile was previously owned by 5 partners with Richard Agnew as the main shareholder. Sometime last year, one of the partners was shot dead in his sleep and the BN was constantly harassed by the authorities. The main shareholder RA decided to quit the AC scene and sold out his shares to the remaining 3 partners and a new guy. These 4 partners run the BN now.
Blue Nile has a reputation for runners and many of their girls do double duty as FLs in the HS disco next door after their work. This led to several complaints by disgruntled customers so the new management decided to revamp the working system and implement some rules for their gals.
I do not know the extent of the entire revamp but some of the changes which were made was :-
a) There are only Group dancers (1800p) and Cultural dancers (2500p) now;
b) Customers must be informed when the gals order any double LDs (the gals will not be paid their commission if the customer complains otherwise);
c) All staff of Blue Nile are barred from visiting the HS disco after work or even during their off days;
d) All barfines are expected to stay the agreed timing with the customer (runners will not be paid their commission);
e) Dancers job is to dance while on stage (warning will be given to those hiding in a corner / chatting with fellow dancers / showing boredom or bad attitude);
(2nd warning will be fine 50p, 3rd warning will be asked to leave).
f) All staff are to be inside the bar area (no hiding in the changing room or CR); etc
These are just some of the rules implemented and the gals were not happy especially those runners and FLs in the HS disco.
So what happened was one friday night, all the dancers changed into their home clothes, walked out and congregated at the entrance to Blue Nile preventing others from entering. Some even got their friends, relatives and boyfriends to join them.
What my friend told me was this incident was instigated by the pinoys pimping for the BN runners / FLs whose source of income was cut off when the gals were barred from the HS disco.
The situation at the BN is touch n go at the moment as the management deal with the change of personnel. Many gals were asked to leave and new ones hired.

Damn! I was abt to comment that based on my last trip, I feel that Blue Nile and Ponytails have many good looking ladies compared to the other bars.
Well anyway, good info man! At least going to BN from now on, can expect lesser chance of runners (HOPEFULLY
) Thks for that!
