That depends on the stage. If it's a club with a tip-rail (chairs specifically for the stage), they have to tip or get off the rail, because it's rude, and on a busy night they're taking up space that could hold a tipper.
It really is degrading to watch that. Really, you're going to do all that...for a dollar? Christ.
I've done that a few times. It makes them mad, but makes other people tip more. When I worked at a tip-rail place, I would kick their rolling chairs away from my stage if they say/do something obnixious (like refuse to tip, or tell me to work for it).
Now I work in a non-stage heavy club, so I don't expect tips, but I also don't get people telling me to do shit for a dollar.
That's weird. I always made tons of money off of pole tricks. Are guys only interested in the gynecology exhibit-type stage shows?
I take the money first and then do a little dance. That way if they don't want to part with the money I won't have given them a free show.



maybe they are doing this because they are angry and bitter at strippers for calling them "suckers"?
honestly ive met some really angry cheap men at the clubs who refuse to tip or get dances because they say dancers only think of them as "suckers" so please stop calling them that or you are just bound to create more cheap bitter angry men.
and personally if a guy is holding out a dollar i dont try to get it from him right away, i just do my normal dance, stay a good distance from him, and expect that he will place it down by the end of my set. if he doesnt i give him a little talk after my set is over or look at the dj and the dj will tell him that it is required to tip if you are sitting on the stage.

I bet this lady-friend of mine will agree 100% with you on the fact that it is lame for customers to try to play you with a measley $1 bill on stage. She got tired of that so when she does her round on the rail after the dance, if the bill is not out and ready to be handed to her, she will just bypass that guy. THat rather embarasses those cheapos who try to be slick and she does not miss on the ones that came up to specifically tip her. The cheapos think that she is a snob (wich she's not) and stay away, wich is also a goood way to filter the lame customers. You should give this approach a shot.


i myself use some of the quotes mentioned here, sorry ive been away for so long, missed this place, but girl had too do private shows worldwidewent dubai done some dancing there if you want dollars that is where too go, the arabs love it
made a fortune, but yeah its all about milking these guys

So true! These guys are our bread and butter. There are customers out there that are rubbish, but not all of them and I'm against generalising them as 'johns', 'suckers', etc. Your view affects how you are when you work with them and ultimately, it is rude.
Not a lot of clubs in the UK do stage-side tipping, but because I can put on a good show, I do find I get tips from time to time. Also because the lowest denomination in notes is a £5 (whatever happened to the £1 notes?) I am appreciative and show that to the guy. I will dance in front of him and maybe wrap a leg around his neck. But at the end of my set, I will always thank him and ask him if he'd like a LD. I think that goes a long way.
In terms of dealing with the "what are ya gonna do for this dollar? guys - I like to just look them dead in the eye, raise my eyebrow and say "why? what do YOU normally do for a dollar?"... it usually confuses them and they tip up, and if others hear me, they get a laugh out of it too.
Moments like this make me want to hug the Internet and say "thank you." Lestat***sometimes it's what's on the outside that counts, too***I know I have a great relationship. But it'd be more great-er if I let him stick it up my butt more! Sunday Morning
Best tactic I have seen so far and my personal favorite: Guy biting a bent dollar and dancer taking it with her boobies.
The rest of the guys, wanting their own performance, will watch this and be ready even before you get to them. Just ask the first guy at the corner of the stage to bite a dollar.





see working at the clubs here in u.k its damn easy too milk the guys, i made 60gbp off one guy it was awesome i think i danced for 1.5 songs the rest of the time we were talking hehe, most the guys are drunk so they pay up no matter what the cost![]()





When they have money in their mouth, I always say, "Now didn't your mommy teach you not to put money in your mouth"
This elicits two responses of which I know whether or not to follow up with closing a lapdance sale from the tip rail:
If he takes it out of his mouth and places it in my hand or gstring like a gentlemen, then I know I can sell him a dance right then and there, "Now, you're ready for a private dance when Im finished up here, aren't you?"
If he shakes his head "no" or continues to expect me to fake "kiss" him by taking the money in my mouth from his mouth, I usually just reach out and take it from his teeth with my hand. I don't usually dont upsell this type of client at that point because he is not exactly my target demographic.
Some clubs just have a better set up for tipping. When I worked at Christie's in Phoenix, I rarely got tipped onstage bc the stage was too high and their eye level was at my shoe. At Treasures in Vegas the main stage is like this also, and I don't get as many tips there as I do at the center stage where the customer's eye level is at my crotch and the rail is padded so i can lean in closer and more comfortably.

Awesome.
That's an awesome system.
When someone really annoys me, I take the dollar from their mouth and say "You know money has traces of fecal matter and coke? Well, now you do! Knowledge is awesome!" or something along those lines. It generally makes other customers crack up and tip more![]()
