I had a friend who didn't drink at all. She would actually swish vodka around her mouth so she smelled like it, and pretend to be drunk, so guys would get dances and not try to buy her drinks, since she was "drunk enough already". I personally never tried it, but it seemed to work!
Thats awesome! Think I might have to give this a shot!
I don't drink at work - It throws my off my hustle, and I'm usually at work at the shop at 9am the next day! It IS an important part of the social game to have a man buy you a drink, and it helps to be able to say yes. It also helps create the illusion that you are a party girl and up for some fun. I've made arrangements with all of the waitresses at work, so I order a drink, and they bring me soda. Soda is free for the dancers, and a rum and coke is usually around $10, so the waitress pockets $10, and I don't have to drink alcohol! If I'm ordering a shot, they give me juice or ginger ale in a shot glass, and the customer is none the wiser. This system keeps me sober, keeps me in the good books with the waitresses so that they help me out and recommend me to customers, and makes the customers happy that they are sitting with a "party girl". Job done. ; )
cranberry and orange juice looks like a sex on the beach. I drink these whenever I have a hangover and when a guy grabs my drink I say "EXCUSE ME."
if a guy is giving you a hard time about drinking alcohol he's generally not the type of customer you want to spend time with. there's a difference between a guy who wants you to have a good time and a guy who's trying to get you fucked up
your club doesn't do drink commissions? I wouldn't let the waitress pocket the entire 10 bucks. I mean, it's nice that you do but you should get at least 4 bucks for every "shot" you sell. I've been to clubs that do drink commissions where you get 3-6 dollars for every "shot" you sell and it REALLY adds up. if a guy doesn't want to get a dance I'll just have a "drinking competition" with him or I'll be like "ok well let's get me drunk. I'm a freaking tank when it comes to alcohol!" and after ten "shots" when I'm still standing up straight they're like "damn girl"
No - the club doesn't do cr, commissions or merch - it's common for clubs in my area - you straight up sell dances. There is no paperwork, no paystubs, no record. I love it - I don't have to wait to cash out, or deal with a paper trail! It's also common to fake alcoholic drinks, but the waitress always pockets it. Even if I wanted to try to find a system of sitting down with them at the end of the night, counting my fake drinks and asking for money (which would keep me there late, which I don't want to do) I would be the only one doing it, and it would come across as the most incredible bitch move. Seeing as we technically aren't supposed to be faking drinks, they would probably just cut off the arrangement with me as not being worth the hassle. It'd be a great system for a different kind of club, but wouldn't work for me..
^ I wonder if your favorite waitress would do a $12 drink though where you each pocket 6... I feel like it can add up too and wish more places have fake drinks for ladies . They just don't offer it because they think it would hurt booze sales usually.
I can kind of see how you don't want to change your system up though - I'm sure waitresses all love you and may point custies to you like you mentioned.
Blackbetty: Your red bull / vodka thing will work . I do that a lot. As long as they don't use a big glass that gives it away.
I don't drink and so far all the clubs I've worked out have a virgin "drink" that i order by it's special name. No one has ever been the wiser.
Lots of interesting responses here. If you don't want alcohol, can't you work a custie into believing that a soda/cafeinated beverage/sugar-free Red Bull is a huge favor, and you're so grateful, because it takes so much energy to dance and it's so late and you so want to give a good show? And it's such a huge favor to you to understand that you don't want alcohol, that you might hit your head on the pole, and that you might not give the great show you want to? Just a thought . . .
