In October, I left a club that offered no-contact table dances with no set price as well as private dances with more contact for a set price. My usual approach was to take whatever they wanted to give me for the table dances, but I would ask for a certain tip up front for the private dances. Sometimes I would get fucked over in table dances, but it didn't bother me too much because I would never get fucked over a private dance -- I was guaranteed to make at least something from set price, and if they didn't tip well, I would just give them a minimal contact dance. As I learned how to ask for money comfortably, I rarely felt taken advantage of.
Now I'm working in a club that offers only public, no-contact table dances without a set price. Dances are extremely easy to sell. Girls usually don't make "suggestions" (I know this because almost every dancer complains about the randomness of their tips). I don't think I've ever seen a girl ask for a tip up front, either. This is a minimal-hustling, relaxed kind of place, and now I feel uncomfortable asking for money. $5/song is considered the lowest "acceptable" tip by many dancers and customers here, but not for me. I stick around because the management pays us, dances are so easy to sell, everyone is nice, and I often get $20+ a song.
My problem is that while I'm still making good money here at the end of the night, I wind up giving a lot of dances for $5 (or less!). It's been very demoralizing to me; when I try to rock a guy's world and he gives me a few bucks for it, it makes me not want to do my job at all. When I'm in an especially bad mood, I become furious at these customers for thinking it's worth so little. But in order to find out who's tipping well, I feel like I have to make my first dance for each guy hot, so I make myself vulnerable to this over and over night after night.
The only way I can think of to get around this is to ask for a tip up front. When I used to ask for tips for private dances, I would say that they were optional, but that the dance would get hotter as it increased -- I would do the same exact thing here -- even without being able to grind or sit in a guys lap, I definitely know how to act like I'm into it and make the guy feel like a king, or alternately, give a quick tease and go on my way. Do you think I could get away with being the only girl who does this if I'm polite about it? Should I even be letting it bother me so much in the first place if I'm still making money overall? What do/would you do in a club like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
