Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
I think I've been called every endearing term in the book and some unique ones too, like my online persona, but nothing will really get me to come back unless the dances I received previously were stellar. At my favorite club, all the dancers who I've danced with quite a few times before and the servers remember my name even if I haven't been back in several months. I think that's a nice touch.

I hate being called a Mongol, though, THATS a mood killer, fer shure.
You damn smurf lover...you never cease to make me laugh!! ;)
If you ever came into my club, I'd be torn between giving a lap dance to a smurf lover and ignoring you like a true snork-lover would. LOL

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
I tend to call people "sweets", both friends and customers. Its just a habit I picked up, and I SUCK at remembering names, although I do try like 60% of the time.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
ATF called me Darlin for awhile. Actually as a North guy I found it a bit grating but I realized South ATF recognized me and needed to call me something before she remembered my name... so darlin was fine.
Hon is annoying. It is like a washed out waitress with a cig pouring coffee in a wafflehouse at 3 a.m. While wafflehouses stop around north of Kentucky... its kind of like an IHOP pancake place but always open. Thats why strippers and their customers zre there at 4 a.m. Finally we gave each other nicknames and thats what we called each other and nto darlin.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
Anything that sounds real is OK, but anything that sounds phoney is a turn-off. "Baby" is especially annoying when you're old enough to be the girl's grandfather.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
IMHO,I think the best policy is to call your customer by name.That shows you remembered it and it also shows sincerity.

When I go to a club, and when a dancer walks up to me for a lap dance, I ask "Smurf or Snork?" If they say "Snork", I send them away with a hand wave and a condescending "Feh!".
Im sure if I came to your club and got a dance from you, I would have to imagine that you are not a Snork-Lover. It might be hard, but I think I can do it. ;D

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
it's weird, but i find it equally as grating when a customer calls me hun or baby. i try to remember names, but usually i cant, so i dont say anything...i just try to steer the conversation in such a way where he has to say his name again. the customers that tip big or are fun to talk to i remember right away, but i guess thats normal.

LOL...well, if someone asked me "smurf or snork" I would simply reply with, "That depends...how much money you got?" ;)
Well, I guess I could just pretend that the lines don't matter for a few dances...you know? LOL

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
Well, from the way it's looking people are using these terms as a greeting?
If I don't know your name I say "Hi!" and give you a hug, I do try the name thing, but sometimes I never knew it to begin with. If you have a member of my family's name, I try to remember it, of one of my fave. names, if not, it'shard.
I use those terms when I am trying to prove a point and think they are being silly.. Like, "oh, sweetie." smack on the leg, "you just don't know."
I love sarcasm and use it daily, some guys like it because they can be sarcastic back, for the ones that take offense, well, I don't have anything to say to them.
I don't think I am too rude, but I try to be entertaining and the word "YOU" gets old.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
What about: "Hello, Customer Number 487. Would you like a dance?"
I wonder if this, said in a low sexy voice, might be a good line, at least a good ice breaker. If you try it tonight and it works, do report back.
-
Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
Actually, I like "Hey there, Big boy, those pants look a little tight, let me loosen them for you."
Although in actuality, I guess I am making them feel tighter.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
Lol! SNORKS! okay, so for my two cents: I am actually pretty good at remembering names, but since I do the party circuit and people are getting rowdy and drunk--I normally resort to endearments to keep people mellow. Also, though I'm not southern, I do occasionally have a southern accent-- but I do try to avoid such generic titles as "babe" and "hun." I'll do "sweetheart," and "sweetpea" though I am interested in learning some of those unusual ones ya'all were talking 'bout. ; )

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
I actually use these terms more now that I work in the south. It works well, and is basically standard communication, in or out of the bar. Even when I'm not at work, I find myself using these terms more.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
i dont do that! i cant even stand it when a dancer younger than me calls me those words!

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
A similar note: this reminds me of a co. I worked @ (not an SC) that did not allow employees to use the word "they" when speaking of the co. over the phone to customers.

Just wondering, but, WHAT is up w/the burnt out waitress thing? /:O
Oh, btw, the coffeehouses I go to have Miss Universe contestants working, just for the realism they need to experience...

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
I try my darnedest to remember peoples' names, but I generally work at my club 50 hours a week, so my memory ain't the best. But I do tend to remember faces, so will ask those I remember what their name is again, and explain that I enjoyed myself, but my memory ain't the best. Most people appreciate that I made the effort. As for first time meets, though, I usually ask "Darlin, would you like some company?" I don't think I've ever had someone not like me calling them that until I get their name.

Re: "Hun," "Baby," "Darlin'" and other endearing terms
I dont know, I guess I just never had that hard of a time remembering names. I dont care for the darlin, sweetie, sugar, hon stuff at all. I dont say it and I don't like it said to me. IF there was a custy and I couldnt remember his name immediately, I'd approach them with either a "hey handsome, how are you" type of thing, or be all excited to see them and tell them "yes, the sexy beast back, how have you been". That usually worked till something jarred my memory as to their name.
