Portland dancers (and anyone else with stage-dominant clubs), check this out:
There's some kind of Intel thing going on now in Portland and a lot of Brits and Irish guys are coming around. Well, our money is damn cheap for those folks now, and I said so the other day -- "Hey, our dollars are nothing to you guys -- you can afford to tip twice as much!" Amazingly, they took me at my word, and one started flinging $20s on the stage. I mean, the $100 he tossed would probably get your cover, a drink, and one dance at your average London club, you know? We've also had Canadians tipping better than usual. A caveat: you sometimes have to politely let them know that stage tipping is proper etiquette. Don't get pissed if they aren't right off the bat because it's coming from sheer ignorance, not asshattery.
So as long as the dollar stays weak I am going to joke with every single UK/Canadian/Euro visitor about this and see how well it works.
Boy, I do wish they would tip us actually in pounds, that would rock.
