How to hustle a shitty crowd?
Last night was really shit for me and every other girl. I can normally make money anytime, anywhere with any type of crowd (as long as there is someone who buys what I'm selling) but there were NO good customers last night. All cheap regulars who come to stare at the stage and not tip, con artists who wanted to use up girls time for free, pimps and time wasters! Not one girl did more than 2 dances by 11 pm, so I ended up leaving and going to my other club which wasn't much better!
How do you hustle and make money when there is no one TO hustle or make money from?? Can you somehow turn a time waster/ cheap pervert into someone who buys VIP or a package hour worth of dances? Or is it a lost cause? These guys seem to come in bent on not spending a single dime on the girls, wasting our time or negging us all night.

No. It's a lost cause. Just let it go. Sometimes you have to accept that some money isn't worth earning. 99% of the time, when you have a crowd that bad, you're going to drive yourself crazy being disrespected, treated rudely, and getting groped, all for like $15 maybe if you keep at it. Sadly, some guys do literally come to the club with zero dollars in their pocket with the explicit intention of watching us all work for free.
When this happens at my club, I take it as an opportunity to have a snack, fix my make-up, and recharge. A better crowd will come in afterward and I'll need my energy to make hundreds off them. Bad nights happen to everyone, so I really wouldn't worry about it unless it's happening more often than not at your particular club.

Ok thank you. I was wondering if there was some magical way I could turn it around, because it makes me feel like a shitty stripper when this happens :( like I can't hustle worth crap or I'm ugly or something.

Nope! No magic!
It's been like that at my club the last week, it's all that crowd of like 20-something douchebags who want girls to hang out and 'party, & the club creepers who sit in the corner and maybe get one $10 dance from each girl.
Groups: If you're in the mood & have the energy, you can probably get a couple dances out of each group using various personality tactics... picking a guy to tease about "What you don't want boobs in your face? Guys, is he gay?" can sometimes get the friends to buy him one. Sometimes there'll be a guy in the group who's the shy one and will get dances bc he appreciates you being nice to him for a few songs of chatting. Etc. Sometimes they're a lost cause though.
Pimps: forget it.
Club regulars: forget it, unless you feel like a small 'investment... At my club there's a few where as long as I chat with them for a few mins occasionally, they'll usually tip me when I'm on stage. That's worth a bit of my energy when there's nothing else doing. If I want a Red Bull, I'll go chat with one for a few songs and he'll buy it. Keeps you from looking bored if a good customer comes in. Obviously I only do this with ones that are pleasant to talk to.
Time wasters: depends on the ilk of them. I'd sit with them for a song or two but definitely offer a dance reasonably quickly, lest they be further trained to waste time.

No...once I sniff those guys out I make them feel like shit for wasting my time (I'm a bitch) and if I'm lucky they'll leave. I'd rather have an empty club than a club full of non spenders.
Re: How to hustle a shitty crowd?
Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll stick it out, wait in the DR for spending customers. And other times I'm like f*ck these wack a$$ cheap a$$ customers wasting my time. If it's been 2-3 hours in and there are no viable customers then I just leave. I'd rather knit sweaters at home than sit around all dead in a dead club full of vultures and 'furniture'.
Re: How to hustle a shitty crowd?
If the crowd is useless and annoying, I'll get rude and annoying. I'll never sit with a time waster, but unless they have given me an outright "No, i'm not doing dances," i'll continuously keep coming back to their table to say hi for a minute or less and "harass" them. If you keep giving me a "maybe later" or something, and there's nothing else going on but tables full of "maybe later" people, I'll just keep doing laps, with dr breaks in between. Eventually I'll end up with dances just because it's the only way to get me to leave them alone. Just keep a smile plastered on your face the whole time and act totally oblivious to the fact that these guys obviously don't want dances. Like, everybody wants dances from you, right?
Obviously it's not optimal but if there's nothing else going on, I refuse to leave with nothing, and occasionally can upsell these guys from a good dance.
