TJ, maybe they thought you were too young to have a lot of cash?
That was the point in setting it on the table. But oh well what can you do?
I'm sure someone with boobs can take my money. ::coughwifeycough:: ;D

Yea, i am glad that it costs 20 bucks to walk through the door of my club. Weeds out some people who are simply watchers. Also, one drink minimums(hourly), etc. The club encourages the girls to chat and move on fast if someone is not buying also.
They can go elsewhere and watch much cheaper.Darlin', if I was at your club, I couldn't spend money on you fast enough. You wouldn't have to worry about not making money off me. ;D

Ayayay. Once again, you guys can talk til you're blue in the face. Doesn't change anything.
You can complain on this BBS till you're blue in the face, it also doesn't change anything.
We don't go to work and get up on stage for NOTHING. We're doing it for MONEY. No amount of explaining can make the guy who pays for nothing but the cover and a drink while ogling the dancers, any less of a cheap asshole!
Well, call him a cheap asshole then.
EVERY guy who goes to the SC KNOWS we're doing it for MONEY. No matter how stoopid or ignorant he may be.
Yes, but a lot of these idiots actually think you girls get a wage.
I get SICK TO DEATH of you guys coming on here defending the cheap fucken assholes!
I didn't defend them. I merely explained their actions.
Do you think it's ok for people to go to a restaurant to eat and NOT tip the waiter?
No. But with the exception of an auto-gratuity its not a requirement.
Do you guys REALLY think the cheap fucken assholes who go to SCs and don't tip or buy dances are unaware that's it's customary to tip?
In some cases, yes.
NO, THEY ARE NOT. THEY KNOW. THEY'RE JUST CHEAP FUCKEN ASSHOLES!!!!
And you're just venting.
Again, I'm not sure why some folks here have gotten this silly notion that knowledge of tipping etiquette (and not just if it is customary to tip, but how much) somehow spreads itself by osmosis. If that were the case, why would the world need information like this.
http://www.tipping.org/TopPage.shtml
Maybe tipping etiquette comes naturally to those of you who've immersed yourself in business environments (either as worker or customer) where tipping is customary, but the fact of the matter is many people don't. They carry their own luggage. They don't use taxis. They pick up the pizza rather than have it delivered. A fancy meal for them is going out to Subway. Some even cut their own hair.
As, I've stated many times before, unwritten rules suck (not so much for being rules as for being unwritten), and should either be written down (or at least orally explained), or be abolished.
As long as you expect everyone who comes into your club to follow guidelines that have not been adequately explained to them, then you can expect that some people, by mere naiveity, rather than arrogance, won't follow them.

I have to agree with Doc on this one.
Even though it's required at the Cheetah to tip a girl on stage before she will get nude, many guys don't know that, especially if they are from out of town. Hence, why it is constantly announced over the loudspeaker or the girls tell the customers themselves.
I remember once being on stage with about 4 guys sitting in front of me. They obviously liked what they saw and kept smiling the whole time. But they weren't tipping me. I bent down and said, "So what's up guys? I see you smiling but there aren't any tips!!" They respond, "Well, yeah, we're waiting for you to get naked." To which is respond, "I can't even take my top off until you all give me at LEAST 5 dollars between all of you." To which they replied with wide eyes, "OOOOOH!!!! THAT's why none of you have taken anything off!!!" They promptly gave me 2 to 3 dollars each.
Before I went on stage, I used to let customers in on a little secret in order to encourage them to tip me on stage - if you tip the girl $10 at the VERY beginning of her first song of her set, she stays naked for ALL THREE SONGS. The customers were happy, for obvious reasons. But, with the girl fully naked for all three songs, she would collect more tips on stage.
Even if your club does have a stage tipping requirement, then, even though it exists, you can't be mad at customers for not doing so if they don't KNOW about it.
Now, if they know about it, and STILL don't tip anyone worth a damn, THEN you can confirm that they're really cheap assholes :D

EXACTLY!!! WE pay alot more than any customer does just for walking in the door.
Cover and drinks don't buy the show.
You guys can argue til your blue in the face that it does,
but NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
IT DOES NOT!!!
I think that's almost a Haiku, Bridgette. :)

What the HELL is up with this? Why do guys do stupid shit like this? I can understand if maybe a guy thinks you're hot but, he's broke. Maybe all he was able to afford was admission to the club and the cheapest drink on the menu. If you're broke, you're just broke!
I can even understand a guy who maybe has the money, but is just being cheap and came for the free show.
But I do NOT understand guys who stare at you as if you're the most beautiful thing they've ever seen, then say NO to getting dances from you...but turn around and get SEVERAL dances from someone else (or several other GIRLS at that!).
Ladies, what do you think of this?
And custies...WHY THE HELL DO YOU DO THIS????
These kind of guys are intentionaly disrespecting dancers in a passive aggresive manner. Their goal is to get us to pay attention to them for free, or in other words they want to make us work for free.
It's their form of payback for all the women they spent time trying to get to know or get a date with but ended up refused by. That kind of man is probably the worst of the bunch save for those who sexualy assualt dancers

Oh geezus, my last club got plenty of customers like that, staring intently at the stage or at the dancers walking around, might even have some polite banter with any girl who sat down, and NEVER put up a dime. They knew we could walk out in the negatives, they knew it was customary to tip stage or maybe buy dances. We also didn't have a cover during the day, so that possibly added to the "cheap afternoon" mentality.
Sure it is a free country and all, nobody can stop them, but who cares? It is my right to go into a Lexus dealership and talk to salespeople for hours and drink their free coffee if they'll let me, when I have no way of buying a new car. It is still a jerkass thing to do. I don't see why so many people leap to the defense of these people.
As for the original post, I'd say the chief reason he does that is because he doesn't want to spend money and thought you were hot. I KNOW my ex did this, in the exact jerk-ass way we all hate, the "I'm not going to spend any money! I'm only going to bring enough money for cover! Those strippers make too much!" Dancers would come over asking if he wanted dances, as the non-stage-tippers have many reasons why, shyness, uncertainness, whatever - but an individual approach may lead to more money. Never worked for them.

Have you ever thought that they are intimidated by you? Some other dancers have told me that guys want to get dances from me and think that I am very beautiful, but that they're intimidated by me. I'm only 5'7", but with the platforms on I'm very tall. I changed to lower heels and that helped. I am very secure in myself and I believe that even though we are in a place that the men should feel secure in garnering our attention, some still feel intimidated. When I am told this, I have her take me over to him so the gentleman can get to know me. That usually handles the problem.
Or the guys who say "im short of cash right now" right after you ask for the dance. WTF are they doing in a strip club if theyre short on cash?? Thats like going to the mall without money...

This my sound weird, but when my wife first started dancing I went and acted like a customer. Since I had done many field studies of clubs. And I would point out groups of guys who would probably buy dances(military guys, older men) so she wouldnt target people just my age. But anytime a dancer would come up she would sit down and say, "Hi." I would be polite and say, "hello, my name is TJ and I am broke. I stopped in to have a beer. I'll be gone in about 20 minutes."
Most of the time they would look at me and say, "oh thats ok!" Dont lie. just move on. I'm sitting at the bar staring at her cleavage dont interupt.
I love kittens.

Well I'm glad I got the chance to read this thread as I'm from the UK and a newbie in the strip club scene in the US. In fact I posted a thread in the other forum (the Strip Club Junkie Forum) inquiring as to how US strip clubs work. Reading all this has actually made me feel rather intimidated as the last thing I would like to do is offend anyone, dancer or otherwise, out of ignorance of all the etiquette involved, like tipping, staring and all that.
I hope nobody minds if I put the link to my post here and if any dancers could reply to it from a dancers perspective I would really appreciate it. I will also copy it and put it on this thread.
http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53503
===============
This is my first post here. I've recently moved to the Boston in the US and would like to indulge a pastime that I picked up while on a backpacking holiday in Australia, visiting strip clubs (I am from the UK originally but didnt visit strip clubs much there). Im hoping this site will assist me in getting a better understanding of how strip clubs work in the US.
One of the American girls dancing in Sydney told me that the whole strip club scene in the US is different to what it is in Australia and England. In Sydney it is all strictly striptease, no touching or lapdancing at all. In Melbourne they do lapdancing with only the dancer able to initiate contact. Im not sure about other places as I didnt get the chance to visit strip clubs much in Brisbane or Adelaide. As for the UK I went to a few strip clubs in London once and they are quite similar to Australia. Lapdances are very uncommon as the dancers are more likely to dance for you at your table than on your lap.
I have no problem with any of this, in fact I enjoy the striptease aspect of strip clubs, watching beautiful women take their clothes off. Whether they touch me or not is not really a big deal to me. If I had to choose between nudity and contact Id probably go for nudity, though nudity and contact would be nice! Im not a groper though, more than happy to sit on my hands like they make you do in Melbourne.
But I heard that in the US its all different, theres all this stuff about different levels of contact and it seems as though theres hardly any stage shows, theyre all lap dances and high contact at that. Its a bit intimidating reading through some of the threads here as I'm not sure how to behave or what to expect when I drop in to one. I have the following questions I was hopeing someone could answer for me:
- what is the whole deal with lapdances and contact and such. I assume an airdance is a dance where there is no contact?
- how much is the average price for a lapdance and how much should I tip as a % of this? how long does the show last?
- do i have to specify lapdance or private show?
- are stage shows full nudity or do you have to pay for full nudity
- am I allowed to stand around and just watch stage shows for a while so that I understand how it all works or will i offend someone doing this
- what is a champagne room and how does it work
- am I likely to get ripped off if I walk into a club without knowing the protocols, prices, etc and just ask one of the dancers or bar staff
- any good classy (as in not seedy) clubs in or near boston that anyone recommends?
I realise Im the customer but I dont like offending dancers in a club I may end up wanting to spend time in simply because I didnt know the protocols. In Sydney (where I first started going) it was fairly easy to sit in some obscure corner (not up to where the podiums were) and work out how the system worked before deciding what I wanted to do. I normally spend up to $800-$1000 per night when I visit (with no lapdances) but I don't like spending money if I don't understand how it all works, that's just annoying. So I hope someone could respond with some answers as Id hate to walk into a strip club and end up either spending nothing because I just want to check the place out first and pissing every dancer there off as a consequence or ending up getting a couple of lapdances and ending up spending a fortune without planning to. Spending a fortune when you know how it works is a different story though!
Any assistance would be appreciated...I'm hoping to visit one of these clubs in a couple of weeks when Im a bit more settled and would love some feedback by then...
Cheers, Neville

Same thing I am thinking at least give something sheesh...a dollar stage or a dance wont kill anyone...sh*t they just paid 4 times the amount for wtvr they are drinking anyways. Everyone can afford something when they enter a SC. Why go to the fair if all you can see is people having fun inside?

I've often noticed that in local neighborhood clubs where drink prices are reasonable and there is no cover or other outrageous charges, that every customer almost always tips every dancer. But in the big glitzy overpriced gentlemen's clubs where beers are $7 or more, and buying a 2 oz coke for a dancer is $10, and it costs $15 or more to walk in the door, and takes a tip to park your car or take a leak, many guys are much more likely to sit on their wallets because they've decided that they're in a clip joint rather than a friendly place that cares about its customers. Most guys don't like to feel that they're being taken and will often become very defensive in such an atmosphere. I also agree with whoever said earlier that a lot of guys are intimidated by strippers and will treat them with disdain to cover up their own insecurity. That's especially true if they are with several of their buddies, it's their way of showing off.

I say that if they are that close to the stage and won't get off their ass to tip you, then it really isn't worth it to waste your time. Move on to the guys who DO tip! :D
kitana
08-14-2005, 09:11 PM
Wow, I really should have known that my answer would get my ass kicked. :)
Let me add another variable to the equation. What if the guy who doesn't get lap dances does stage tip? If a guy pays the cover, buys those $8 beers, and also stage tips, do you still have an expectation that he get private dances? Technically he is paying what is expected for the services being rendered. Getting pissed off at that guy would be like a restaurant kicking people out if they order a salad instead of the lobster tail and prime rib.
^ No it's more like you ordering just a cup of coffe and sitting there for 3 hours at a big booth alone, and every 5 mins yelling at the waitress that you need another refill. Especially when there is a party of 15 that needs that table and you refuse to give it up.
What major cover anyway?! If you can't afford $5 to get in and around another $20 for beers, $35-40 for liquor (depending on the liquor), sorry but you really don't need to be there anyway.

Neville, you may want to think about starting your own thread in customer convo, as your post here may not be readily seen in here.
Feel free to do a search on "Boston" and on "customer rules"... you'll find plenty of posts on the clubs in this area and the topic of customer etiquette.

BrainyDancerGirl,
First of all, I have to say thanks for starting such an amusing thread. I realize you're just venting a bit and perhaps looking for some logic you may have overlooked. Nevertheless, I rather enjoyed the banter you started.
After reading your posts here, I can see that you know the game as well as anyone can. It seemed that you were just irritated but more than likely have already gotten over it.
As for me, I have been one of those guys before (many times). I've smiled at dancers on stage, enjoyed the show while not always tipping them on stage. I rarely get lapdances anymore. So according to Bridgett, I guess I'm just another one of those assholes. I'll just have to live with her condemnation :(
Bridgett,
WAH WAH WAH WAH!!!!!
I'll only speak for my own opinions here rather than try to generalize all the others. Regardless of the venue, if I meet the admission requirements set by the management, I'm entitled to enjoy all the entertainment included in that admission.
If I go to a baseball game, I'm not required to buy peanuts from the vendor but I still enjoy watching him throw the bags around. (in addition to the game)
Whether you agree with my views or not, I'm just as stubborn as you.
IMO, You are no different than the person who sells her crafts at a parking lot craft show. She pays her money to rent a spot at the show, pays money for the supplies to make the crafts, and spends her time setting everything up. Yet, people still walk by and say "wow, this is cute!" or "this is cool". Even take her time to ask questions about her merchandise. Are these people assholes for not buying? If you say yes, then you are probably one of the rare people who purchase something from every store you walk into. If you're not, then your just a bitter hypocrite.
You spend your own money on clothes, makeup, fitness, etc. You pay for transportation to the club. You pay the club whatever fee is necessary to dance your shift. Why do you do this? It's a gamble. You are gambling that you will come out ahead in the end.
Yes, I realize that the peanut guy does not do his job nearly naked either. However, he is required to wear the uniform specified. He chose his job just like you. His pay is also directly related to his sales just like yours. In many cases, he even had to buy the peanuts ahead of time to sell. None of this really matters though. I think it's a good comparison whether you do or not.
If you get pissy about guys like me who from time to time will come into the club and only pay the cover and buy a drink (or whatever the minimum is) then you will spend quite a lot of your time being pissed. What the hell do I care. If you're pissy, when I do decide to spend money, it won't be on you.
Anyway,
Thanks to all for the amusing reading so far. Be safe and have fun.

I was on stage once when at the end of my set these young guys came and sat down (they had been in the club, but didn't sit at the tip reail until the end of my set). While I picked up my tips, one of them was an @$$hole and said something smart to me. I let it go. His friend apologized and said they would catch me my next time up. I hear that all the time and didnt' hold my breath. About a week later, they came back. I was all set for the jerk to say something, but he didn't. The friend that was nice to me threw about $300 in singles on my stage during my set ( I could barely walk-I thought I was gonna slip on the dollars). Then he said, "See? I told you I'd get you next time..."
They had to hold up the rotation while they got me a garbage bag to put all the money in. It also helped because all the other guys got up and tipped me even more money after they saw what he did.
It doesn't cost you a penny to keep your mouth shut. But it could cost you a lot to say something...

Riverrat,
You're right. I'm wayyy over that incident now. Similar thing happened this past weekend with customers looking at me while on stage and not tipping anything. I just let it roll off my back. No biggie. So what if a person doesn't spend money? Yeah, it sucks. But, we just have to move on...
Bridgette
08-17-2005, 05:38 PM
If you're talking about guys who simply watch the stage routine but don't tip, well, although annoying, it's par for the course and we just ignore them to focus on PAYING customers. They shouldn't be allowed to hang at the tiprail but if they're buying drinks they're allowed in the club. Since they're not paying for the show they should have to sit in back or at the bar only :P
If you're talking about guys who STARE, and then attempt to lead you to believe they're going to buy a dance but never do - that's a whole 'nother story. They should be kicked in the head.
IMO
Men shouldnt come into the club if theyre not looking to spend to have a good time. You dont go to a restaraunt to smell the food and watch others eat do you??

I only come in once in a while. I'm at the 15% tax bracket, so I can't spread my wealth - I don't have any. Guys in my predicament are the reason why strip clubs are lacking foot traffic.
Look on the bright side. There's motivation to move along to a different career path, and it filters out the weak hustlers.
Of course, I wish all you beautiful ladies the best! http://www.stripperweb.com/gallery/files/3/3/4/8/0/bananalama.gif (http://www.stripperweb.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=4074)

Heh, I would prefer that only guys who have and intend to spend money on us girls be allowed in the clubs, but as BigGreen points out, the ones who just pay cover and buy drinks help keep the clubs OPEN for us to work in. It kinda falls on management and the girls to "train" custies to open their wallets a bit when they come in - we girls can start by not paying any attention to the non-tippers. Don't sit with a guy for half an hour if he's not buying dances or at least slipping you a $20 every few minutes. And don't go back to talk to anyone who turns you down for a dance the first time - most likely he's just a shithead and wasting your time. Also I the alot of girls kinda encourage bad clubs to continue with poor business practices and cheap custies to keep avoding spending, by continuing to work in crappy clubs and spending free time with cheapasses. Vote with your feet girls!

I'm late to this thread so I'm posting my responses to all the bits that I wanted to respond to......
I know you dont like to hear it MissB,but facts are facts.
In most clubs in this country,a guy can pay the cover,come in and have a drink and watch the show,he isnt required to tip,he isnt required to get a lapdance.
It isn't just America, Australia as well. Goodness, I was one of those customers at one time (for around an hour) when I visited Crazy Horse in Adelaide... that just makes the person a PATRON/PUNTER not a customer. That is what makes the difference between a patron/punter and customer -- a customer spends on the entertainers/dancers as well as the club itself (ie drinks).
;)
Most customers do not understand that in most cases you ladies actually PAY IN to the house to work there.
This one is most true... how many times I have "educated" the general public (even in Kalgoorlie where I was a Skimpy not a stripper) that strippers pay to work in a strip club I have lost count. It is a serious misconception the general public has.. alot think that the clubs pay us to be there.. that we aren't "in business for ourselves" (self-employed/independant contractors).
Another misconception is that, not only are we paid hourly, we receive a portion of the door/entry fee that they paid.
*sigh* These misconceptions exist and will continue to exist as, it has already been mentioned, clubs don't really 'push' the patrons to tip the dancers (at the very least). It is always up to the dancers to mention the 'unwritten rules' to the patrons.
Do you think it's ok for people to go to a restaurant to eat and NOT tip the waiter?
Well, here in Australia tips are generally not customary. They are really not expected. This is definately an "American-ism"... hence the reason why alot of the population in Australia aren't used to tipping. The other down-side to the reason why alot of patron in a SC here won't tip is due to the fact that the lowest "note" of money is $5... and that can be ALOT of money to spend just tipping a dancer on stage (to alot of people).
Our $1 and $2 are coins... and I don't really know any dancers who accept coins on stage. Plus only a few 'smart' strip clubs here have their own money which patrons can buy in $1 or $2 denominations making it easier for them to tip a multitude of dancers.
some guys think you get paid by the club...I dont know where they got that idea
I know that people think dancers are paid hourly due to the fact that the majority of people who work are paid hourly.. paid a wage. They just think because everyone else working in the club is paid as an employee (hourly and/or wage).. that the dancers are as well. They only realise the error in their thinking when someone "educates" them.
Plus it isn't dim-witted... just a rampant misconception that the majority of "mainstream" society has about strippers. They don't realise that we work on a commission type of system. They think the clubs pay us even if we don't sell a dance or receive any tips.
I'm also thinking this misconception is probably thanks to the fact that there used to be clubs (at least in this country) which did pay the dancers a set amount of $$$ each night they worked.
I dont' know many clubs that allow a person to come in and sit there, soak up all the "ambience" and not purchase a drink, at the very least.
Things might have changed since I was there.... however I can readily think of one club that made it hell for all the dancers for most of November due to all the "Schoolies" paying the cover.. and just the cover.. then standing around taking up all the seats and space... and watching. This is also the club that requires compulsory full nude on stage by the last song. Really really hope it has changed there for the dancers' sakes.
Granted, it is the exception not the rule. I've worked in many full nude establishments which will only allow you to go nude on stage if you are tipped, some only allow topless even if tipped, others allow it to be up to the dancer to go nude without tips or not.. and others yet again only allow the feature dancers to do nude on stage when everyone else must be topless.
Even if your club does have a stage tipping requirement, then, even though it exists, you can't be mad at customers for not doing so if they don't KNOW about it.
True sooooo true! I remember when I used to work in the (small!) club in Rockhampton where we aren't allowed to even be topless unless someone sits stage-side and tips us $10 minimum.... we went thru nearly two whole rotations of dancers without a single one of us taking a thing off on stage before one of us was finally tipped! I think then.. and only then.. people started to realise they had to "pay to play".
I'm never mad at them automatically now. I explain the ettiquette and hopefully "educate" them a little bit... and only after this if they continue to not "play the game" does one have the right to call that patron cheap.

I used to spend so much energy being angry at the cheap asses not tipping on stage and staring. I finally realized that when you focus on the broke asses not tipping you usually your attitude/facial expressions show your angry vibe . I think of that $1000.00 man in the corner observing your body language and how you interact with the crowd that is deciding if he wants your company based on how he perceives your attitude . Usually stage tippers get a few dances (not complaining one bit) . However that evil eye you give the non tipper may run off the wales watching you from a distance because of the pissy look you may have on your face or you look irritated. . They are in the club to have a good time and due to your bitchy look they will not want to spend $$$$ on you. Scrubs are not worth ruining my money or night. Stage is simply a billboard for everyone.
