Other dancer butting-in on my hustle
Well, this is the second night in a row it has happened: one dancer at my club chats up a customer, gets a dance from the customer and then leaves. You would think 'okay, she's done I can hustle this guy now.' Wrong. For whatever reason if this dancer sees you talking to a customer she has gotten a dance from EVER she immediately becomes possesive and annoying. Last night I was talking with a customer she had just gotten a dance from and was apparently done with (she went to the dressing room) but when she saw me talking with him she immediately came over and butted into our conversation. She did something very similiar to this the last night I worked as well and one customer even told me that he didn't like her being so possesive of him whenever he comes in. I feel this is very disrespectful to other dancers and customers and if the roles were reversed you can bet that I would hear about it. My problem is that I feel kind of bad for this girl. She's not very pretty and has a figure of an 8 year-old boy. However, this is starting to hurt my money when she does this-not to mention irritate me as well as other customers. I've resolved that I am not going to talk to management about this or confront her in the dressing room-I'm just not that kind of person. I'm sure there have been other dancers you ladies have worked with in the past who acted like this girl. What did you do?
Re: Other dancer butting-in on my hustle
I would either:
1) give her dirty looks and try to exclude her from the conversation. Something like, "Anyways, so like I was saying..."
2) push all the empty chairs away before she gets there
3) Physically guide him to turn towards you and away from her (with your legs or by the arm of his chair)
4) Ask him if he's ready for his dance

First of all I wouldn't feel bad for anyone. She is obviously making money because someone is dancing with her. If you don't want to approach management and tell them she is being shitty then you need to pull her aside and tell her once she walks away he's fair game. This has happened to me twice in two different clubs and I took both different approaches. I think it depends on your relationship with the dancer. When I told management we almost started fighting in the office and when I talked to the other dancer we hugged and kissed and made up and she never did it to me again.
Re: Other dancer butting-in on my hustle
There has been alot of threads on this lately! I wonder what's up...
It seems this kinda thing is running rampant right now. Maybe it's because it's slow and there are less customers, more girls and more competition?
Really, the only thing you can do is be polite and professional, but also stern and confront her about it. Especially if it keeps happening alot.
Have you seen her do this to other dancers? Or do you think she is singling you out for some reason?
Re: Other dancer butting-in on my hustle
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask...if she's doing this only to you.
I, personally, am very passive when it comes to other girls sitting down with guys I'm talking to at my club, partially b/c I haven't been there long and feel like the guys know the other dancers better anyhow. I know, that's no exscuse, tho. Anyway, I usually get up after I get my drink from the custie (we have to get 5), and go on to some other customer. I actually find it beneficial if someone sits down with me and a custie I don't think it going to get lapdances...that way I have an exscuse to leave quicker. I did this the other day, got a drink, then came back and he ended up getting a good deal of dances, plus I didn't have to waste extra time with him drinking.
I would try to close the dance sale quicker if you see her eyeing you. If it would help, I might also go to managment. Also, put her in her place, even tho you feel sorry for her. She might be taking advantage of the fact you feel sorry for her and aren't confronting her, so I'd def let her know you're not happy with it.
You might be able to use her to ur advantage in getting a custie to go to a private room with you...letting them know there's more privacy there for some one-on-one playtime.
I'm also not sure of the type of customers that go to your club and that get dances from her. Sometimes, tho, it might also work in your favor. Ex. Several times at the club where I work girls come over when I'm talking to someone...some of the girls talk and talk and talk nonstop...the guys have then said, "Exscuse me, we're going to the champagne room (or going to do a lapdance).
