How do you get rid of a customer that now takes your time for granted. Example: Spending more and more time at the club but not spending more money. He has been a regular for a long time and now considers us friends, maybe I have been too nice? :-[

Treat him as you would a customer who does the same thing but is not an established regular. If he has enough brains to notice this, he will ask you why the sudden change. At that point, explain it to him patiently and politely. If he doesn't have enough brains to notice, then you aren't wasting any unnecessary time.

Jennymodel that situation is in your control. Be nice to the guy spend no more than say...5 minutes with him, and tell him you have to run off and make some money. Say "hey we have been talking for some time now, i feel as i have made a friend here, i would love to give you a hot dance!'
See how he acts, if he does not bite, move on with working. Always step back and say hi, you never know if hes a shy one or just cheap. Some guys take longer than others! Even at buying dances! :)
Jennymodel, I totally understand your predicament. the more he hang's around the more of a distraction he become's. He in his own way is trying to force the relationship to the next level. You out of kindness, because you know he's there to see you, feel obligated for some reason to entertain him. I see this all the time in my club, it's the normal process of thing's and you will come to see it b4 it get's to this point, or at least avoid it. The biggest problem that you should be aware of and I tell my girl's all the time is that from the lurking eye of the customer he can be misconstrued as a boyfriend/husband and therefore be hurting your money. He is capitalizing your time so he is hurting your money.
You can make excuse's and leave him to himself like, " Damn I gotta go hustle I need some money " or my personal favorite is ...... My boss jumped in my ass for spending too much time bull shitting at nonproductive table's instead of hustling, he say's he's not running a coffee house ;D
Maybe, maybe not!
I'll be honest here, there are girls at the club I go to that over time I tip less and less; it's not cause I'm trying to "force" a relationship, I'm just not interested in getting dances from them anymore. Maybe it sounds callous, but one of the major reasons for going to SC's is variety; after awhile, getting dances from the same girl over and over just gets boring. Some of these girls I'm still quite fond of and I'm more than happy to talk to them, I usually break down and submit to a pity dance if they ask nicely, but I'm not going to get dance after dance.
My suggestion is that you follow the previous advice and spend less time with this guy; either he's gonna get the hint and start spending money or he'll be relieved that he doesn't feel pressured to spend more on you than he wants to. That deosn't mean you should stop being nice to him, who knows, after a suitable break he may be interested again.
:)He spends about $200 at a time on me, but he has increased how long he wants to stay and chat. I think it is because we get along so well and he is having a good time, not really about pity as far as I can tell.
Try reminding him of the friendly bouncers in your club ;D. Maybe THAT will convince him he should allow you to do your job.
