After reading some of the threads on here it has got me thinking and I am looking for some dancer and customer input.
I've always tipped very well while at clubs while a customer. If I was watching the stage I would tip and even if I wasn't I would sometimes walk up and tip the dancer, especially if things were slow in the club.
Here is the thing. I occasionally go and visit a friend who is a dancer at her club while she is working. It is always when things are slow and early in the evening and we arrange it. We just hang out, talk or play pool. The bar is far from the stage and I don't go up to the stage or even sit in the stage area (I stay in the bar) even when my friend is dancing.
After reading some posts on here I am feeling guilty that I haven't been tipping anyone who is on stage. So I was wondering should I be? I just can't see leaving my friend and walking over to the stage to give a dancer I have not been watching a few bucks. If I tip other dancers than I will have to tip my friend which I don't mind doing but it isn't something I do. (I should mention we are friends and not customer and dancer who use the term "friends"). I've also thought to give money to my friend and tell her to tip the dancers she wants to tip. Or should I just get over the guilt and not tip since I am not watching the show? Or does someone have a better idea or some personal experience?
Thanks.
