Raising the bar?

There's apparently a bar in China which lets patrons pummel the staff. BBC World's Select Today's podcast ran an item on it and discovered it does exist but it's only female patrons who get to strike up more than a conversation. And said a gentleman interviewed for the report: "there are a lot of stressed women out there". At least the staff are well-protected and seem to suffer no injuries in the course of these slightly unconventional - by any standards but possibly more so by Chinese standards - duties.
