So last night was my first night at a new club. I got off stage and went to talk to the guy who tipped me the most. I sat down next to him at the stage, thanked him and introduced myself, and then the girl on stage came over. She pointed over my head and said "You need to go back". I didn't know what the hell she was talking about so I just looked at her, and then she started clapping her hands in my face and yelling "GO BACK TO THE BAR. I WOULDN'T DO IT TO YOU SO DON'T DO IT TO ME". I knew that if I said anything back to her, it would end with me punching her stupid teeth out, so I just got up and went outside to smoke.
After talking to another dancer about it, I found out that, at this club, it's considered "bad etiquette" to approach customers at the stage. Yelling at a new girl in front of customers however, seems to be just fine.
I don't know how to deal with this rule. What if a guy asks me to sit at the stage with him? Am I supposed to tell him no? This club has a really huge stage too, so what about the times when most of the customers in the club are sitting at the stage? I should just sit around by myself making nothing so the girl on stage can get an extra one dollar?
The craziest part is that I ALWAYS make sure that the guy I'm sitting with at the stage continues to tip while I'm there. If I take him for a dance, I make sure that he throws her at least a five first. That girl would have made MORE money with me sitting there than she did without.
Do you guys think it's rude to approach guys at the stage?

Anywho, in the future, when you receive the tip, ask him if he wants company or whatever and tell him to sit away from the stage. Problem solved.
