I just wanted to see if I'm alone in all of this... Our club had a big dancer meeting last night, and it just got me to thinking about my pet peeves in the club, most of which are with the other dancers. So here's my pet peeves, what are yours?
1. Cut-throating. I DON'T CUT-THROAT!!! I never have, and I never will. If I SEE another girl sitting with one guy, I'll leave her alone, EVEN IF it's one of my "regulars". I'll walk by the table, give him a wink and a grin, and then keep on walking. Sometimes he'll flag me down, and sometimes he'll wait a bit and/or tell the other dancer he doesn't want a dance, and then he'll flag me down. I always ask the customer "Do you mind if I join you?" before I sit down--that gives him the opportunity to tell me he's waiting on so-and-so to come back, or whatever. So why is it that the other dancers think it's okay to come up and sit down on my guy's lap WITHOUT EVEN ASKING when I'm in the middle of trying to establish rapport with him? It annoys the guy, and it pisses me off! You can see the guy getting annoyed by it, and it doesn't usually work, but it's still rude as hell.
2. Alternatively, dancers act like I'm cut-throating when I'm not. I don't care if he IS your regular and has been coming in to you for the past 10 years--that doesn't automatically make him off-limits to me. If you're not sitting with him at the time and I ask him if I can join him and he says "sure", then he's fair game. But the moment he tells me that he's waiting on you, or that he only buys dances from you, or that he comes in just to see you, is the moment that I'll politely excuse myself. Not only is it rude to cut-throat (see above), but it's not really that profitable. I'd rather go spend my time walking up to someone new and spend less than a song to convince him to dance, than trying to interfere with a dancer/regular relationship which might take me 4-5 songs and might not even work. But I will re-iterate: I don't give a damn if he's been your "regular" for 20 years... If he allows me to sit with him, he's fair game. Maybe he wants to try something different after 5 years of looking at the same pussy and breasts. Whatever. He shouldn't be a persona non grata just because he wears the "regular" tag.
3. Dancers (and waitresses) talking about their drug habits. Do whatever you want on your own time, but don't bitch about new rules that say you can't come to work high because "getting high is the only way I can stand coming to work." If that's the case, find another fucking job. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sober dancer in the club, and it's annoying. I really don't want to hear how many lines you snorted in the hours before your shift began.
4. Dancers showing their pussy on-stage or in VIP. I'm not talking about the dancers who will discreetly give a guy a little peek back in VIP (although that's annoying, too, but less so). I'm talking about the girls that'll pull back their T-back on main stage without even being asked, or the girls that boldly pull their T-back aside in such a way that every guy and girl in VIP can see her pussy from across the room. Frankly, if you can't resist showing your pussy, go to a nude club. But doing it inside the city limits (in my town) constitutes indecent exposure and is illegal. And it's not appropriate in a topless bar. Am I the only dancer in the damn city that gives clean, legal, and (mostly) rule-abiding dances?
Those are my top four tonight... In my current club, I have no problems at all with management, except for their "look-the-other-way" attitude about some things, but the other dancers are driving me nuts. Oh, well... As I've told the DJ on occassion, "I'm here to make money, not friends."
