Talent that comes late each day miss out on making money from the fans that already left and spent their money on the other girls.

He will move over to the next both wher the talent is THERE greeting him.
The money that would have been spent on you is now spent on another talent.
He may or may not remember to come back to see you and may have extra money to spend on you, do not take that chance.
You should not leave your booth unless you need to use the restroom.
