    I would make SO MUCH MORE if we could be friggen tipped on the CC. Its stupid. I lost out on tips a LOT or will only get $20 or $40 when I could have gotten $100... I HATE IT.

    Typically, the only time I ask for a tip is when I'm doing VIP's. Partially because of the time of our VIP's (30 min) and also since $40 of the VIP's where I work go to the house, that's the tip I ask for so I'm not out any cash. When we're negotiating up front I add in my $40 to the original VIP price; if they question it, I tell them straight off about the house charge and they always understand and ablige or they say no and just ask me to sit with them for the original VIP price (w/out my $40 extra).

    I have been trying to tastefully ask for a tip during $20 dances, too, since they started charging $6 to the house for that! It's a fucking rip off. When the guys ask "how much" I either say $20+a tip or I tell them it's $25. I get less dances because of it...but I'm okay with that....for now:-(

    After every dance, I ask if they enjoyed themselves. When they say yes, I say "I'm glad you did, did I earn myself a tip?" Then I give sexy cat sad eyes. It always works and I've had repeat customers several times so it can't be a huge turn off. The only time I haven't gotten tipped is if they used there last cash to buy the dance. We don't take CC or have tabs. Our club is ALL cash, and I never ask a guy to go to the ATM. I have hinted before, if they want to continue dancing, but I will never make them feel badly for not tipping.

    I saw Audrey use the word "aggressive" and then talk about not giving change back. After she clarified, I wouldn't use the word "aggressive" to describe that strategy. I call it "jessica simpsoning" playing dumb and cute with a hidden profit motive
    Hehe, yup! That almost always worked for me.

    we collect the money before the dance here, and i always tell them, tippings not required, but the bigger the tip, the more turned on i get- I usually get a 20$ tip for a 20$ dance, club takes 7, so 13 or 33 per dance take home, which would you want? I get alot of return customers who will hand me thier budget and tell me how much in dances and how much for tip- last night one guy thought he gave me 100/100, but when i counted there was 20 extra, and when i told him he said to keep it! Being honest about what I want and making sure they're aware of what they're spending makes them feel comfortable, and telling them its optional makes them not feel ripped off. Many tip me again after the dance/s, and this is as a clean dancer in a club with a few xtras girls..... so get the money and dont feel bad, your worth it, but if you don't let them know its good to tip, they wont think to do it.

    Like dining at a fancy restaurant -- regardless of the price of the meal, you still tip the waitstaff.

    As I see it, I'm both product and service. And stripping, obviously, is way more intimate than that. So I think it's a gigantic insult if the customer's not reaching into his pocket for a tip. Of course, if he spent $600 on me, I could see how this perspective would be greedy. But where I work, dances are $20 and $75, and the house takes a cut. (I get $10 and $50, respectively).

    So I see no problem with asking for a tip. Especially because, often, men are idiots and don't know they're supposed to.

    I think you are a genius after reading some of those tips! I can't wait to try some of those this week!

    I always ask for tips after dances. I'm not a bitch about it, and I get plenty of repeat customers. Me: "OK, its just $40, and tips are always appreciated" wink. A LOT of the times this will garner a 10 or 20 (!) but even if its $3, hey $43 is better than $40.


    I do agree with Britney Ireland about asking tips for the CR though. I don't think I'd have the balls to do that when they are already spending a shitload (well at my old club it was a shitload----$500 to go for 1 hour, total) Thankfully, I don't have to worry about CR crap anymore!

    if it's a room, i'll say something about tipping the host. you can usually get a good idea what a guy might tip you that way. otherwise, yeah it's incredibly tacky. guys who tip well tip on their own.

    i have no problem asking for tips on dances, especially if we're running a special. i've gotten some pretty good tips from guys who hadn't even thought of tipping. i'm still working on my presentation, though. i don't think there's one line that works for every guy. gotta read the guy. i guess that's what i'm working on, really.

    I always ask for tips along with the dance prices. I don't see anything wrong with it at all if you sound professional and polite about it. I usually say something like, "The dances were $60, etc; plus whatever it is you want to tip me." I get tipped everytime I do this, and it definitely adds up at the end of the night.

    I felt greedy too, in theory. But I got over it by phrasing it as an option. While the "and a big juicy tip" thing works in some situations (when you have a rapport), I usually say "it'll be $X, and if you want to tip me I won't complain *wink*" or something like that. Slightly more open-ended. It's definitely increased the tips I get, and that's a huge deal if you work in a place that takes a percentage of all your dances.

    I feel weird just asking for tips unless I'm like tipsy and had a few drinks or something. The past week I was working pretty sober, less than 2 drinks a night, and I started asking for tips from guys because I saw this thread and I actually made a few more bucks. One guy almost gave me a tip and then he changed his mind, it made me feel weird...lol so i remember this specific incident. The guys I feel really comfortable with always give me a tip when I asked for it. I have a confident problem asking for tips from guys who got less than 3 dances because I think , oh he doesn't like my dances because he wanted me to stop dancing so maybe i shouldn't ask for a tip or maybe he doesn't have enough money or for whatever reasons---but for the most part, i don't ask because i lack confidence. Asking for tips and putting it out there as optional does increase my chances of making more money. It just feels a bit weird at first ...

    I just hold out my thong and go, "Wanna feed the kitty?" with a big smile. Cutsys are usually happy about it, as it's not so much asking for a tip, as offering a veiw.

    One girl I work with says, "Now give me all your money!" with a big smile and giggles. It takes a lot of audacity to say something like that, but it works for her!

    We can get fired if we ask for tips, so I've never really been able to practice this one. Except on stage, where my hand remains extended until the customer pays or gets kicked out.

    If the club is taking a huge cut, I see nothing wrong with hinting at the idea of getting a tip, and acting grateful either way.

    Thats a good one I think i'll use that from now on I just ask "did you enjoy that?" they say something like I loved it or yeah it was great then I say " would you like to tip me for that great dance?" and i smile or something

    it sory of backs them into a corner of having to tip lol how can someone say they loved something and then say no i dont have it sorry lol exactly

    or i just get my tip up front and say something like this dance can be as good and you want it to be well not exactly like that usually rolls off my tounge when the time comes lol

    Well, after reading this thread, I figured I could be making more money off lapdances. So, the other day when people asked how much it was or confirmed that it was $30 a dance, I said something like, "$30 per dance and tips are appreciated." It actually got me more money, and it wasn't technically asking for tips. I just don't know how to say that if someone doesn't bring up the cost of dances.
