In a dimly lit back room, Jason tapped out one of his Camel brand cigarettes and slid the pack to toward the middle of the table so his ladies could help themselves. Jason felt 'meh' about payday. He didn't like giving out what he deemed to be his money, but the girls worked hard for him. The set up was simply. He found the johns, took the payout, made the arrangements, the girls got the tip, plus commission, plus weekly pay. He believed himself to be a fair and reasonable pimp, and tried not to overwork the girls too much, although it largely depended on the client and more often the money. Jason always made sure he got the money, upfront, no rain checks. If you wanted to see the pink then Jason needed to see the green. That was how it worked. He didn't like John's beating up on his ladies either, and made it his personal business to deal with any foul play. Thankfully it wasn't too much of a problem since a lot of the clientele were high paying socialite types for New York's up and up.
The girls could practice their trade in the club, or if one of the johns paid for a hotel room, then so be it. He preferred if his ladies practiced at the club so he could keep an ear on them. He liked it when things were in his control, what little he had of it. Jason counted out the cash and handed it out to the girls around the table. "Here you are, ladies." Base pay, plus commission for every client they had that week. "Now don't go spending it all in one place, you foxy mamas!" He was generous, but a large part of the cash had to go to the club, and then Jason had to pay himself – naturally he took a bigger cut, he paid himself out commission for every john he ensnared and coaxed into getting a girl too. Once everyone was paid out, he took a long drag from his cigarette and ashed it into the tray, "Any stories? Anything big Daddy J's gotta know? Lay it on me. I'm here for you girls." He turned to smile at Calvin. The best way to get acquainted with newcomers was on pay day, when everyone was (for once) gathered in the same place.
