Actually, all 4 LE/by-law guys I saw were white. The one with the glasses reminds me of this one Polish girl I work with so I think he might be Polish. I'm TOTALLY TERRIFIED of him (NOT b/c he's scary-looking or anything b/c he's not... he's actually kinda cute) but b/c the 1st time he came in, he woke me up by saying, "SIT UP" REALLY LOUD, and when I saw him, I thought he was these gangster people that my stupid bf owes money to. What happened was that the week before, there was 1 black guy and 3 middle eastern guys with hockey sticks at my bf's place trying to kick our door down. When I told them to stop kicking our door, they said they were going to kill me and my bf b/c he owes them $20,000 (or was it $50,000? I can't remember) Anyways, I had to PRETEND to call the cops b/c our stupid phone line was cut off (no $ to pay bill) and I had forgotten my cell-phone at work but still they kept on kicking our door for at least another 5 minutes. I got scared so I tried to escape thru the window but I wasn't strong enough and I ended up injuring my hand and had to take off work for a week. (And LISTEN TO THIS!! After those people left, I called my bf from a payphone to tell him what happened and guess what he says??!! "Don't worry baby, they're just trying to scare you. Anyways, gotta go." And I'm like..."WHAT!!!!!!" I can't believe it!! Almost friggin' got killed and my stupid bf didn't even take it seriously!!) So when those LE came in that day, it was actually my first day back to work, so when the guy with the glasses woke me up, I swear, he scared the cr*p out of me!!! I was like...
I thought those gangster people had found me and I was going to be chopped liver for sure!! And then when I saw the rest of the LE people (I think there was like 10 of them or something), I was even more scared!!! Then, the girl I was working with told me that they were LE so I calmed down a bit. But I think that's why I'm TERRIFIED of the guy with the glasses, b/c he scared me that 1st time and it's just etched in my brain. I start shaking everytime I see him. He's never been mean to me though. The 2nd LE guy reminds me of my first b/f who was a Vietnamese/French model so I think he might be French. Can't really remember how he looks like now... just that he kinda have spikey hair so I hope he's not going to grow his hair out or put on a hat or something 'cuz then, I'm really not going to recognize him. 3rd LE guy just looks like a typical Canadian sporty-looking guy...stocky built... hard to describe him. 4th LE guy is for sure older than the other 3 but can't remember him too well either. I think there's also 2 Indian undercover guys but I can't recall at all how they look like. I think there's also one white undercover but I can't recall how he looks like either. (Sorry, sh*tty memory)
What the inspectors usually do is they barge in and open all the doors to see if they catch anybody doing something they weren't suppose to be doing. Then, they'll write us tickets if we're caught doing something inappropriate. Most common tickets are "working in an unlicenced studio" or "not being covered by an opague material". (Yup, got a stack of those)
Actually I don't recall ever being shown a badge or ID or anything. But I just know they're inspectors b/c the other girls tell me. Sometimes, they'll pose as clients too, to see if we offer them anything. If we do, then we get a ticket as well. (Plus, I think we have to go to court.) One of the girls I worked with lost her holistic licence because she massaged one of the inspectors and offered him a nude massage. So I think if they catch us naked with a customer, they just give us a ticket but if we actually massage one of the inspectors and give him a nude, I think our licenced get revoked. At least, I think that's how it works.
With these 2 new female inspectors, I hear that they just barge in. (Although, wouldn't we see them like 10 million miles away and warn each other??!!) Well, so far, they still haven't gone to the MP I'm at. (At least that's what my boss and the other girl told me). So I really don't know EXACTLY what they do. If I do run into them (God... I pray NOT) I'll update you guys.
BTW, I heard from some of the girls that the LE people sometimes write tickets for a fine of $800 or something. Does anybody know if we can pay by installments?? Like... can I pay like $5 a month for the next 50 years or something? 'Cuz what if (knock on wood) I happen to get one of those and can't afford to pay it? Then what?
