I don't know but I felt I owed her my initial patronage because of her actions that first night I met her.
    I didn't say that you asked for it back, you just asked how we normally respond and I told you.

    By the way, if you ever accidentally put a large bill on my stage, don't expect me to offer it back. However, I'll be happy to show you a big smile and say "Thank you".

    I accept all bills and try to give a show accordingly to the tip. I would never ask "Did you mean to?"
    If they made a real mistake I would dance for the money.. But I would have a hard time giving the money back. If I felt bad for the guy or if he looked like he didnt have a lot of money I would be more willing to help him out.

    ^^ Exactly. Negotiate in a worst case scenario, never give back.

    I guess I'm just not rude like that. I was happy to do the dance. A happy customer is a customer who might return.
    I would never ask a guy if he meant to give me a particular note but if someone mistakenly gave me the wrong note I'll give it back. Why wouldn't I? They obviously need it more than I do.

    I am not desperate for money. Plenty more customers who can afford to pay and therefore I don't need to act like that.

    I should add that in Australia there is no tipping. Guys don't pay unless they are getting something. So we stay fully clothed (well if you can call being in lingerie clothed) on stage unless a guy pays $20. So it's rare here for someone to give money without expecting a stage dance.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I usually tip a $20-$40 (for a girl that I know or that I want to chat with later on) on stage and walk away and watch from a distance. The stage isn't really my thing

    Actually I asked no questions. I was merely telling of my experience with a dancer who just responded in a manner I didn't expect and had no right to expect that paid off for her in the long run. I'm sure she just viewed it as a roll of the dice.

    Its never even occurred to me that someone may have tipped me incorrectly by accident. I've always assumed that they gave me what they wanted to. Jesus $5 is what I would expect as a minimum from each person approaching the stage. Sounds like these chicks don't have much self-worth, or they think you are really poor or cheap LOL.

    In Melb Jai. In Sydney I get full nude on stage whether I make $5 or $300. It's a full nude club. Because of this generally the tipping is decent on stage. Most customers sitting on the stage tip minimum $5 per girl and we usually have 2-3 girls on stage at the same time.

    I prefer it when guys do this.

    I am surprised at the girl giving back the $5, as I do not consider that a large bill. I am in fact annoyed by lesser amounts, however that is due to the clubs I have worked at. $5 is an expected amount at many of them (at least until recently). Perhaps at this club you speak of, the usual tip is much less, and so she thought you made a mistake, or maybe it was just strategy to get you to notice her?

    In my short-lived experience, I don't see any real way to determine the correct way to deal with this unless you read the individual customer. When I first went into my local club at 21, I was questioned about tips by 3 different employees in the same night, a bartender, a server and the only decent dancer in the place. Both the server and the dancer flat out asked me if I meant to tip them a 20 and 50, respectively, which of course I had. I didn't really like the way the approached this, but understood where the were coming from due to my age. The one person that really went about is well was the bartender, she simply looked at me, at the other 3 older colleagues I came in with, and said, "It's really nice to see a 21 year old give a tip that big, it doesn't happen often" Later, she offered me a couple free drinks. Point being, I never entered the club with more money than I could afford to spend, and just because it looked like a mistake, doesn't mean it was. If you think the tipper put out more than they meant to, just put their money to good use.
