Ok, this is my first post, so Hi! I have been on this site for a short time now & have been casually reading through the posts, but THIS ONE, MADE ME comment!
I have been dancing off & on for 11 years now. I was gone for 6 yrs & made my Grand Come-back a little over a month ago. I work at a club in Riverside County, CA (I don't wanna mention the name or anything.. at least not yet!

). I have never seen anything like what I see at this club. It's a topless bar that claims the title (incorrectly) of Gentlemen's Club, when in reality, it's a Sports bar with half naked women wandering around.. HOWEVER... for some reason, the guys DON'T come to the stage AT ALL! They do if asked/told to, guilted to, or there is no where else to sit. THEN.. they DON'T TIP!!! AND to make matter's even worse, the common practice of this place is, once you are done onstage, you walk the room & ask for your tip from the custies at the tables! So, now.. I'm possibly dancing a 2 song set, for NO MONEY on the stage & then having to BEG for it from them personally! On top of that, if you are sitting with a customer, every few minutes some other girl is coming by for a dollar! I understand, make your money, but isn't it still considered Rude to walk in on a dancer/custie convo?? At least I thought it was!!
Sooo.. did I miss a memo or something?? Is this crap going on anywhere else!! I am used to $1k nights, EVERY NIGHT, from my clubs in Dallas! Here?? I haven't even broken $200!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?! I know we're in a recession, but Jeez!! If you're that broke, stay the hell OUT of the strip club!!!
I haven't gotten to the "embarrassing them" point yet, but recently I've started asking, "And did you come in PLANNING on spending money?" When they say yes, I introduce myself with a huge smile & sit down. I am not ashamed to admit that I am there for the money! It's a STRIP CLUB!! I am not there to meet guys!!
(Sorry... kind of went on a little rant there for a minute... Little things in clubs really annoy me these days... **blush**)
