--I apologize for the long post, but as a writer it's what I do. I just want o put everything out there. I promise it's at least somewhat interesting from an entertainers point of view.--
Okay, first post. Been browsing for a while, never felt the necessity to post or start my own thread - you guys are entertaining enough (both the pink and blue side).
Regardless...
So I was at a topless bar tonight - they serve booze and allow you to smoke (hate smoking, but it happens when I drink) in the place and 20 bucks gets you a "private" lapdance (anyone else in the place getting a 20 dollar/song dance is in the same room - but separate from the rest of the bar/club). I haven't gotten to the point where I've asked about CR dances (though the website for the place advertises them at 60/half hour - and no, at least half or more of the girls there are very attractive and deserving of better clientèle).
Anyway - down to business, enough about the club itself.
I refuse to carry more than $100 cash on me - it's just an ethics thing. I don't like to wave arouund 20's, 50's or Ben's because I prefer to keep a low profile. I was introduced to this place by a friend, been there three Thursday nights in a row, and add in tonight and Friday night.
It's a medium-high contact place, by a dancer's standards?? I.E. lap dances are lap dances, but I personally haven't seen anyone's bottoms come off, I guess hands-on is okay, yet I always ask. But...
In the amount of time I've spent there - I had my first "bad" experience at the place tonight. I was there for maybe 10 minutes, and a girl came up to me asking for a dance. Granted, I never had her in my "lineup" to get a dance or a few from, but I tried to be polite and honest.
I was still drinking my first beer, and I always like to have a beer before I settle down to do -ANYTHING- (be it play pool, darts... whatever), at a liquor serving establishment.
The girl (your all-too-common butterface) got very bitchy when I said no to a dance from her, even when I explained I just wanted to have a beer first and see what I wanted. I at least tried to sympathize with her and apologized for it being a slow night (because it was), but she wasn't having it, and went on her bitchy way.
I generously tipped the girl dancing on stage after "the bitch" left, but I'm pretty sure she saw the money I was handing out. The girl on stage got off, saw that I was the best tipper at the time, and I explained the same situation about my beer with her. She acknowledged, understood, and I didn't waste anymore of her time.
She came back to me about 20 minutes later and I got 2 songs from her and gave her a 10 dollar tip.
The rest of the night went smoothly, I got 2 songs from a girl suggested to me from another guy who I've seen down there a few times - it was worth it. I tipped her accordingly (no, no "extras", as you SW frequents put it - but a really good dance).
Then I got another two dances from the girl I call my "Olive Oyl", because she really looks like that - long, lanky, but a really cute butt for a thin white girl. Unfortunately, I had to break our time up because the club's ATM machine was out of service (what a big NO NO I'm sure many of you girls are thinking) - so I had to drive up the road to the gas station to withdraw money.
I tipped her accordingly.
All-in-all, I spent about 300 in the topless joint in a period of about 3 hours. I would've spent more, but I just couldn't be bothered to go to the fucking gas station to get more money. All three of the girls I got lapdances from appreciated the tips and said they never got tips for a lapdance before, and they talked to me afterwards for it. I tried to tip them again for taking up their time (it was enjoyable conversation though), but all three of them wouldn't take my money for the small talk.
At the end of the night, after my 2nd trip up to the gas station for another hundred -- I hate carrying more than $100 cash darlings, I've tried to break up too many fights and ended up with my wallet missing, I'm an active pacifist?
So... down to the questions now.
1. Why was girl #1 - when i tried to explain about the beer/relaxation/I'm sorry it's slow tonight situation - so bitchy to me? Was it because I just straight turned her down - though I didn't, but she wasn't on my list - or was it because it was such a slow night and she was pissed?
2. How do you feel about customers that don't like to carry more than X amount of cash on them? I know I'm good for it, I know you don't. I have no problem breaking out the debit card - but this place isn't that "up there" as far as technology is concerned. Would you ever do anything on a "promise" if a guy has spent X amount of $$ on you that night or is a great regular that you trust? (I don't mean to insinuate anything, I know you shouldn't believe random X paying for Y as much as a gas station attendant should trust someone pumping before they pay -- no innuendo intended).
3. How obligated should I feel as a customer to make up for other's lackings? If a girl is on stage on a slow night, and I know I have the money on me - I have no qualms about throwing extra dough up the stage - I'm there for a show. But, I do not like getting special treatment, especially if I am not interested in a girl, and having their attention directed towards me. I'm a low-key guy, I just want to throw my dollars on stage, and If I want to make eye contact, I will get a lap dance, VIP or CR from you. On stage, I just want to see what you have to offer and pay accordingly.
4. How do you politely get up from the tip rail when a girl you don't find attractive is coming up for a few songs? I find this extremely awkward, especially as a guy who goes to strip clubs alone for the most part (my friends are broke/cheap-asses and I refuse to let them take advantage of my money situation), and I don't want a girl to feel unattractive because I stood up or turned away when it was her turn on stage. I give you guys all the credit in the world for doing what you do, and I enjoy it. I try to pay you accordingly.
5. Am I a good customer?
6. Any general thoughts or opinions to throw my way? I'm always looking for some insight to my club experience better, and a better night for the girls. Even with some money to throw around, as a part-time investor I value the declining American dollar. What can I do, outside of being polite, spending more money and being conversation-capable, to make the experience better for everyone involved?
Thanks for the input - I'm sure I've forgotten a few things here and there, but I promise I'll be sober next time I post.
