I’m not familiar with Florida strip clubs, but if they’re basically a bar (as strip clubs are where I live), I am surprised that staff were ever allowed to be below the drinking age.

In my state it’s legal to work in a bar under 21, but none of them higher under 21 because of the risk

In Florida the laws vary by county, which makes things kind of confusing because one city may allow one thing and a few miles away the rules are different.

Tampa for example might allow certain acts to take place but not serve alcohol at the same time. There’s clubs with say, an upstairs/downstairs that only serve alcohol on one floor so the other floor can show some skin. It’s all kind of stupid.

Then you go across the bridge and there’s full nudity, but the food is served outside from a truck.

Every few years the rules change or DeSantis takes something away. I wish we had freedom in this “land of the free”.

In my state, bartenders (and waiters) can be 18. You can serve and not drink. I thought that was similar in other states

Edit: same for beer, wine, liquor stores

I had several under 21 friends pay for college by stripping back in the 90s. If you are cool with it, it seems like a good way to make some decent money and it is generally not something you do as a lifetime career. Let the 19-year-old take her clothes off if she wants.
