How things play out in Southern CA are different than almost anywhere else in the world.

To be clear, snack bars are not populated with "scantily clad" women. Generally snack hostesses wear colorful versions of business type wear (skirts with blouses and jackets).

Also to be clear, snack hostesses do not traditionally sleep with their clients. It's a bar, not a whorehouse.

Why would you say that? When I worked at a high school I went with colleagues to snack bars all the time (often with female teachers). No one went there to have sex, we went there to have good service and conversation.
