    Default $1 tip after a VIP

    What do you do if your customer gives you a one dollar tip after one or more VIPs? A one dollar tip is an insult, especially if they make it know that they enjoyed the dance.

    "Oh honey, that's not even 20%! Think of it like a waitress, if the bill was $100, would you tip her $5? no way!" (smile here)

    But note, if you want this guy as a repeat customer, don't say anything. When you see him the NEXT time, you can drop hints. "Oh, I was so excited last night, someone tipped me $100 on a $100 dance! I usually only get tipped $20-40 on a $100 dance."

    Love it!

    a dollar would piss me off more than no tip. i know some guys feel that they shouldn't have to tip after shelling out "all that money". But a dollar-grrr.
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I'd rather not get tipped anything than a effing Dollar. WTF That would piss me off the rest of my night. I wouldn't be able to shake that.

    I've said the above bold statement before and I've gotten tips based off that. Usually they are like, "damn babe I don't have $100 to tip ya, but here's something for ya" usually it's less than $20. I think now I'm going to add in the "I usually only get tipped $20-$40 after a dance"

    Thanks for the advice, keep it coming! I usually accept the dollar hesitantly and unenthusiasticly say, "well I guess every dollar counts." I don't act rudely, but I don't thank them either.

    I'm not likely to say anything about it, but Chrissy's advice about just happening to mention big tippers is really good; I find that working something like that into the conversation is more likely than anything else to up the tips.

    lol, yeah that IS pretty insulting.. but at least you know that he valued each dollar that went into your VIP price

    I personally wouldn't say anything either other than "thank you"... I was thinking about ways to make a joke out of it, but i couldn't think of a way to do i without being tacky....

    Maybe you could've said "A dollar? That's all you love me? *cutsey pout*" I mean, how can a guy resist feeling bad about that???? 99 out of a hundred he'll at least pull out a fiver and you won't come off any worse for it esp. if you quickly change the subject to how much fun you had and how cute he is or some other topic that strokes his ego.

    But def. next time he comes in I'd drop hints as to just how big a nice tip really is... like how Chrissy said.

    Wow. On one hand I would be like "well it's better than nothing," but I would be kinda passive-aggressive and say something like "oh, one whole dollar, isn't that cute of you." which can be taken any way, I suppose.

    I'm going to try some of the lines you've suggested. Most of our customers are in town for military training for six weeks so we don't exepect for there to be a next time. When they do come in more than once it's still hard to remember them from the time before. They all have the same haircut and appearence regulations. Apparel stores are limited in the area so they all dress similar as well. Some of them stand out of course, but most blend together.

    ^^^ I totally think you could say those things but I think it's all about the way you say it.... Like if you said those two things with the right positive attitude and with a genuine smile you could come off as just being cute.... ESP. if you change the subject to something that strokes his ego very quickly... then he might tip you a bit more later.

    But, if you said them in a disappointed way like you expected more then you could come off as greedy and passive agressive... as if you were just about the money and that a tip is more important than fun you two just had in VIP. That'll get him to drop you like a sack of potatoes real fast!

    I'd say something that insinuates that you'd prefer to see him give you more and your just too damn cute to say no to, yet at the same time if that's all he has to offer that you wouldn't take it badly. You know... be super not serious so he knows that it's not personal and that you'll be happy either way.

    If your gonna do I think it's all about the way you say it rather than the exact words that come out of your mouth. Anyways I just thought I'd follow up and be a little more specific about what I meant.

    Personally, I would rather be tipped NOTHING than a dollar for a lap dance or CR, I just hand it back and tell the guy to save it to tip someone on stage. It just seems like an intentional slap in the face to be handed four quarters as a tip for a twenty dollar dance or worse, a two hundred dollar CR. It's just a waste, unless i have 19 ones and need to cash in lol

    You know, I think it really boils down to how you got along with this customer in the VIP. But I might try.....

    "Gosh, that's a sweet gesture on your part, but why don't you save this dollar for something like a stage tip?" (make sure you're smiling!)

    "A dollar?! Awe! How cute! You know what, just hang onto this and come tip me on stage with it, k?"

    "Oh sweety, I can't take that, once I split it up after tipping out my doorman, it'd be a .25 tip...*wink* and you know I'm not a .25 kind of girl!"

    I don't know, those were just a few that popped into my head.

    I don't think I would ever want to use any of those lines; I generally don't want to seem bitchy or unappreciative after someone's spent $200+ for my time and would prefer they want to do it again. Asking or hinting for a tip is one thing, but bitching about one that's small is another thing entirely.

    Of course, if they're doing it as an obvious asshole gesture, or were terrible to deal with in the room, or abusive jerks, my opinion changes.

    Is this a VIP where you only get the tip? If not - I would accept it and say thank you. Is it weird? Yes, but I doubt he meant it to be insulting - like I doubt he went and paid for a VIP thinking "I will get her at the end with a $1 tip!" I might give a "How unexpected and strange" thank you as opposed to a "how incredibly generous" thank you (like imagine you've hustled a guy at the bar for a while and he says no and hands you $5; he doesn't have to, it's a very nice gesture but it is a pretty nominal amount of money for the time spent with him versus the guy who hands you a $50). "Random" discussion of other tips is good so long as it does not seem connected.

    See, if that's the case, that's not a tip, it's your payment, and should be negotiated up front, I think. In my example, I'm thinking of a minimum of a half-hour where the customer's paid between $200-$300 and the dancer is receiving, say, 75% of whatever he's paid. If it's some sort of shitty club split where she gets $75 of $150 or something, a higher price or additional tip shouldn't be left to chance but should be dealt with in advance.

    I wanted to add, that I would also just take the $1 and go. Just giving the OP something to work with here.

    If it happened to me, honestly, I'd probably give him a "look" but say thanks and nothing else. Unless he were being a d*ck about it, then I don't know....

    But if you are inclined to say something, then those lines I posted up above are what popped into my head.

    I don't expect tips, I just appreciate them. If anyone ever insinuated that I didn't tip them enough...I would most certainly NEVER do business with that person again.

    I guess it just depends on the club. At my club the house takes FIFTY percent of all lap dances and CRs so we make most of our money from tips and the customers are constantly reminded of this throughout the night so they know whats up. If they get a dance with me and know that I am only making half of what they just paid and then only tip a dollar, it's almost like they are being a dick on purpose. I'd rather them tell me they spent their last 20 on the dance.

    That is awful!! And I assume you have housefees too? That is comparable to renting a property to a business....... and then charging 50% of their profits on top of their rent.

    It's terrible if say the half hour for the vip cost $200, but if it cost $400, and you get half, maybe that's not so bad?

    Otherwise I cannot even imagine what the incentive to sell a vip would be?
