Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
l travel with a dancer friend of mine to a club two hours away because we got sick of our old club. We've only been there for three days and on Saturday night, she wanted me to help her rip off a customer after the club closed. Apparently another dancer at the club asked her if we'd be down to do it... $500 each for us to say we're going to his hotel to have sex with him, then tell him to go freshen up with a shower and we'd all dip out. We don't know this other dancer very well but she has been the nicest one to us since we started.
my girl was drunk so i felt like she couldn't see the situation clearly. i said i was absolutely not going to do that because he knows where we work and things could become very dangerous for us, AND it was bad karma. she argued that he deserved to get ripped off if "he thinks he can just go home with strippers like that?" especially since the dude was married. she said she's done it before.
has anyone ever done this? how'd it go? do you think guys like that deserve it? it's something that's crossed my mind before, especially if I'm just doing a one nighter at a club while travelling, but I honestly don't think I could ever go through with it, morally.
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
no! its friggn deplorable in my opinion. every guy that goes in there has a fantasy of going home with one of the strippers..she sounds like she's just trying to justify being dishonest and ripping these dudes off. that is, if he was even dumb enough to pay all the money upfront and then leave the room and let her just waltz out. its dangerous, as well. you don't want to fuck over the wrong people, and give your club/you a bad name. plus is just a shitty thing to do, imo.
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Your friend said that only to justify her terrible behavior. Why would anyone even consider doing that? How would you feel if he raped you and never paid you? How would you feel if you danced for someone for 3 songs and he walks away? It's not cool at all- he a fucking paying customer HE PAYS AND GETS WHAT HE PAYS FOR, would you go shopping, spend money and not get any merchandise? And yes, HE CAN go home with strippers like that because they are two CONSENTING ADULTS. Whether he's married or not, is none of your business and it happens all of the time. Girls like your friend makes the "outside world" disrespect us even more. Hell to the NO.
This is a business not a freakin place to teach morals n shit. Wtf

Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Yeah... Tons of ways this could play out:
1. He's a cop and you all get arrested for prostitution.
2. He catches you stealing and becomes violent (Little Birds, anyone?).
3. Manager finds out you agreed to meet a customer, and you get breeched.
4. Heist successful, until he returns to the club for your next shift...
5. This random girl is actually trying to rob YOU guys.
6. He and the girl are in on it together because they're either trying to make a snuff film or steal your kidneys or sell you into a human trafficking ring. /:O
Just a really, really, really, really bad idea. Always, no exceptions.

^ see, exactly!! my dancer friend is young but she's been dancing for a long time, yet I feel like she shows her young age with a lot of her decisions. And she gets waaasted at work every night and it becomes down right impossible for her to comprehend the word, "NO." i'm very lucky i was driving that night because if she had been driving, i don't think i would've had a choice in the matter. that's some scary stuff, man!

These are the kind of toxic strippers I stay away from. Also sounds like the girl has issues of her own and I would not be surprised if she ends up screwing you over some how.
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
I just feel sorry for young girls in the industry today.....they resort to extras because they can't have a conversation past 8th grade level with a customer or they pull stupid shenanigans like this. This is the demise of the industry you all speak of over and over blame these knew girls who think it's fun to dance( since the it's so sensationalized in movies etc now) and just wanna play all night. I saw it at this club all summer ( were the average girl is 23) bet none of you know you can be arrested for assignation to prostitution in most states just for giving out your phone number.
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Yes, actually I've heard that..also that you can get busted off the sugar daddy sites too

" When you lay down with dogs you get fleas."
Robbing people can have terrible consequences. Teaching him a lesson, who made her the moral police?
Do you want to be on the run from the law?
Committing a misdemeanor:prostitution Robbing:FELONY pick which one your friend is advising you to do? Either one gets you arrested if not raped, robbed yourself or killed much less a criminal record.
"Two wrongs don't make a right."
I stripped for 12 years, girls who get drunk nightly at work are their own worst enemies & will pull you down too. She isn't even a friend to herself much less to you. Her friend is the bottle. Suggest you start backing away or cutting her out of your life.
I have a theory: There are 2 kinds of friends, ones that bring you up & the ones that bring you down. Cut the ones who bring you down, there are some journeys you can't accompanies them on in life."
The person who advised you to do this could be setting you up with a pimp who will beat you into prostitution in order to get you out of the club & from taking her customers money. She could be selling you & the friend for $500 to a pimp. New girls in a club that are young from another city does get into these situations all the time, as in sold into sex slavery.
Good Luck,
Sam
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Being dishonest in the work place in general can backfire on, in our case it's just plain dangerous. You did the right thing by refusing to go through with their "plan". Let your "friend" cling to this other dancer instead, they can bring each other down while you are carefree and making money.
This actually reminds me of when girls "promise xyz" or to commit to "OTC" if customers extend and extend etc. When the dancer high tails it to the DR after the many hours they've spent together...things can get ugly, especially if the guy waits outside the club for the dancer ::). I've seen that happen and it's scary enough...I can't imagine how frightening it would be to "rip someone off" to the extent your friend had planned and then have them know exactly where to find you the next day!).
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
This is a potential 'perfect storm' situation to potentially get every dancer working at this club busted, not to mention that the directly involved dancers would be exposing themselves to even greater personal 'risks' !!!
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Dangerous, immoral, and downright stupid. The club situation protects you from what men want to do, you have NO protection in a hotel-plus It's unfair and you're punishing the customer for being a customer, buying the product you're selling, doesn't sit well with me doesn't that. If he's a nice guy it'll put him in a nasty situation, one that will scar a nice person.
If he's NOT a nice guy-well, the others have already outlined that!
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
If that girl wants to teach people a lesson, she should pursue a career in education. Or better yet, she should STFU and stay in school.
Two wrongs don't make a "right"... and vigilante stripper thievery is just plain stupid.
Re: Ripping off a customer vs "Teaching him a lesson"?
Ugh, OP this is morally wrong on so many levels (and everyone has posted great points). So many bad things could happen from the customer raping the dancer, to it being a sting to everything else listed. Times like these are when I am glad I am retired because I would never accept things like this. In fact I once fired someone who worked for me who attempted to pull something like this. Yes it is wrong for the customer to want to take dancers home and it make him a sleazeball but doesn't mean it's right to rip him off.
