Custy didn't pay me!
So this guy calls me over, asks me to give him a dance. I give him SIX dances. I walk with him to the ATM....he can't get any money out. So I suggest we go to the bar and do a cash advance. DECLINED. We try the ATM again and I grab his receipt...insufficient funds. GRRRR....
So the manager/DJ/bouncer all ganged up on him.....got a third of the money he owes me.....told him they could call the police on him if he didn't cough up the rest of the money (don't know how true that is)....then they made him leave his credit card/ATM card/ID at the bar until he comes back with the rest of the money.
LOVELY. This is the first time this happened to me. JERK wad.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
this sucks, but be happy that the management did all that to help you!
At least you know you work in a good place.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
I second that!
Some places won't go to bat for you, and say that you should get your money up front, but we all know how customers loooooooove that, right?
Give us an update to let us know what happened!

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Grrrr that would piss me off too! Thats great they helped you so much like that. Well he has to come back to get his stuff back so he better.
Someone suggested on here that you collect every 3 dances to avoid larger lost sums of money.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Ugh! What a pain! Hope you get your money!

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Yea, custys LOVE being asked to pay up front. But what they fail to realize is that sometimes we DO get jerk offs like this guy. I mean, we were PACKED...I could have been giving those six dances to an actual PAYING customer instead of wasting my time for free. UGH....
BUT, this guy doesn't HAVE to come back. He can report his credit/ATM card as stolen and get new ones issued...and he can do the same with his ID and get a new one. HOPEFULLY he won't do that though. The guys at work told me this boy was SCARED shitless and convinced he's going to jail....so they feel pretty sure he'll come back with my money.
But yea, my management is really good with stuff like this. The club is like a big dysfunctional family. So they watch out for us as along as we aren't problem children.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
I don't mind too much being asked to pay upfront the first time I get a dance from someone but it would be pretty annoying later after I have bought a few and shown I'm no deadbeat.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
In my club, when that happens, they do the same thing. I cant' tell you how many times some 18 year old has had to sit in the corner wih a bouncer standing over him until their parent showed up with the money! In fact, it happened to 2 friends once, and they were neighbors. The parents carpooled to the club. The phone call to the parents from the manager at 2 in the morning was freakin' PRICELESS. There was only one time I didn't get my money, and it was only for one song. I made it back and more over the course of the night, especially when I told everyone what happened.
I make sure to ask the customer between each dance if he'd like another. I also let him know how much we're up to once we get into the 100 stage. Sometimes they want to stop, but it's better than them not having the money.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
bummer...........at least ur getting ur cash though
-
Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Minah...I did tell him how much he was owing me as we went. And he'd look like he was doing math in his head and tell me to keep going. UGH......
But yea, hopefully I'll get the rest of my money.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
well it is possible he didn't know he was overdrawn... that's why I don't buy any dances if I don't have the cash in my pocket
-
Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Dlabtot.....that's what I guess happened.....he said he had direct deposit and it just hadn't gone through. WHATEVER. Like you said....if you ain't got the cash, get it BEFORE you head back to VIP with me......uuugggghhhhh.....

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
I'm sorry you you got ripped off, but it was very cool that the club got behind you on this. I've worked at many clubs that have an attitude of "oh well, too bad for you". I had a similar incident last night, but the guy was just over his daily limit. Our bouncers got his buddies to give him the money, and everything was cool. I'm so happy that the clubs take care of me here.
I worked at one club that so didn't care that they didn't even ask the non paying customer to leave. I asked the customer if he wanted a dance, he said yes. I asked him to pay the $20 up front while we were waiting for the song to change, and he said that he would just get me the money after from the ATM. I said for him to go and get the cash and then come find me. 10 minutes later the customer is flagging me down, so I ask him if he is ready, and ask him for the $20 for the dance. He says his buddy is holding his money, and he will pay me after the dance. At this point I smell a rat, and tell him that it is club policy that he pay me BEFORE the dance starts. He walks away and I later see him getting dances from another girl. He finds me later and asks me for dances. Great, I say, go ahead and pay me now and I'll dance for you. He makes some other excuse about needing to go to the ATM or something, and asks me to dance for him first and then he'll get me my money. No Way am I going to change my policy on him now.
I go back to the dressing room and the girl that he had just gotten dances from is hopping mad about being ripped off by a customer for $100 in dances, and that management won't try to collect or even ask him to leave. Yep, same customer! I made a point to get the word around to all the dancers to get their money up front from this guy, reguardless. He figured out the loophole, and took total advantage.
It might suck to work at a club that charges the dancers a per dance fee, but at least they tend to get behind the dancers when the customer is a dead beat!

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
Abagail, I was in no way blaming you. I am sorry that this happened to you. I hope you get your money. Remember, karma's a bitch and you'll get good luck back to you 10 times over and he'll get bad 100...

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
i think the guy is lucky the bouncers did not beat it out of him. couple of months ago on dateline they had a story about a custy that got the crap beat out of him by the bouncers and put him in traction for six months in vegas because he did not pay for dances.
His side of the story was that he was scammed by the dancer and did not recieve any dances. I think it was at crazy horses any ways the place go shut down if i remember the story right.
I am always cognizant of what i have in pocket and carry a credit card just in case. My fantasy is not traction for six months.

Re: Custy didn't pay me!
The flip side of this has happened to friends of mine where the dancers attempted to charge $30.00 for a lapper instead of the club rate of $20.00. The management didn't have a clue who to believe, and they ended up paying 40.00 for 2 dances instead of $60.00 which was correct. Unfortunately, there are dancers who do this often, and even though they are technically "independent contractors" club rules usually dictate the lap prices not the dancers
