Yep was there for work and having a glass of wine waiting for a coworker and a random guy stood by me and without shame asked me what my hourly rate was. I thought he was talking consulting.

Nice hotel

Seriously could be! It's a pretty entertaining hotel bar.

Now he's talking about a Korean girl he met... Guy needs to leave now

Which firm do you think he is from?

Nixon? How old is he?

Looked like he was in his 50s

Can we get the rest of the story after he asked your hourly rate pwc1? Hoping it ended in a slap or something

He quickly located when he say my look of mortification and my coworker a former college athlete walk up. Didn't know if you are young and at a nice hotel bar you get labeled as a call girl.
