Let's see... The bachelor-party goers (I counted about 6 of them) were smart enough to hire a cab to drive from the bar to the strip club, and back again (it is not stated whether he sat with his meter running, or if he was called back to pick them up). He drops them off at the bar, and is expected to know whether: 1) they are going back into the bar; or; 2) they have a designated driver; or 3) each will call individual cabs to transport each of them home? It appears that 2-3 of them may have been able to drive home safely and perhaps the cabbie did not know who was too drunk to drive.
