Thanks for sharing, EagerBeaver. This anecdote to me is more evidence of how astonishingly nice the Montreal scene is and how I find it hard to believe that organized crime is involved, but I don't doubt it is.
I mean, the agency owner basically got money stolen from him for this incident, or the girl did, and everyone was like "nah, 's cool." Other places, goons would have been called, beatings would have been administered, or at the very least serious threats! Maybe this was a business cost for sustaining a whale, but man, y'all are so nice!
Another agency girl once told me a similar story -- drunk client showed up for an appointment. They messed around for a bit but nothing else before he fell asleep. Turns out he had no money on him. She called the booker, he told her to march him to an ATM. She's a sweet girl, I understand why she didn't want to do that.
He woke up, insisted that he paid. The girl and the agency basically ate the cost. I told her she should have taken his shoes or watch or even a credit card to hold for ransom. She was like, "nah, it's the past." I feel like I was white knighting, but man, I was pissed on her behalf.
