Boober Eats is not a perfect solution. Grody says she’s making only a quarter of her usual income, though she says it gets better every shift. It’s also not a totally risk-free enterprise: Despite the dancers washing their hands and switching out gloves after every order, they still have to share a car with at least two other people.
There’s also the omnipresent risk of customers attempting to get too handsy, though that looks a little different in the age of COVID-19 than it would have in the past. Grody says that, thankfully, for the most part, customers have maintained a safe distance, with the exception of one intoxicated female customer who tried to give her a hug. “The bouncer handled it well,” Grody says.
