As a highly respected and well-paid teen-aged sex worker, Sterry was taught the following ‘rules’:
Don’t be late.
Don’t do drugs.
Don’t rip anybody off.
Be clean.
Say as little as possible.
When in doubt say even less.
The customer’s always right.
If something seems weird it probably is.
GET THE MONEY UP FRONT!
