Yes, you're giving away something (stimulation) for free. It's how you get the customers interested in you. For some customers, this leads to one or several dances. For some, it doesn't. I don't get calls from Ivory Soap telling me I'm rude for not buying their product after I used the free sample they sent me. I'm not a marketing guy, but I believe this is called "yield"--you don't expect to get 100% response to your free giveaway, just enough to make it worth your while. Just because the customers at a strip club (who, by the way, are customers of the CLUB, not of any particular dancer) get stimulation from your show doesn't mean they owe you something, any more than I have to feel like a jerk for not buying Ivory.
