My club is very competitive. I am one of the top earners.
On my last stage set around 3am, two guys were tipping me, one tipped me over $50 and the other bought a lap dance from me right from the stage. I had already done about $100 in dances with the third friend of the group. When I got off stage I took the prepaid one off to the couch room. The other one asked me to come back. We did a few songs and returned. A very unattractive, annoying dancer was sitting with the friend. He had his back to her totally focusing on the stage with his hands on his head and his elbows on the tip rail. She was trying really hard to engage him, whispering in his ear, rubbing his back, etc. I stood back behind them for about two songs to give her the chance to sell him. The second of those two songs was the "last five songs of the night" announcement. At this time everyone starts hustling harder. They were soo not moving. Typically I would move on, make money elsewhere but they were my 'group' and I didn't want to start hustle from scratch at this late in the night. I asked one of the bouncers how to handle this without upsetting her or hurting her feelings. He told me to ask one of the friends to buy him a dance from me to get the ball rolling. I thought that was shady, but effective. I did that and danced out the last three songs of the night with him.
She complained to the managers; who took my side and then proceeded to talk shit about me to the bouncers on her way out. Her argument was that I made $500, why did I need him, too. (she has no idea how much money I make.)
At first I felt really bad. Then I was told the hateful/hurtful things she was saying about me and I got pissed. I've made my mind up that he was my customer, not hers, because of previous tipping and invitation to return. Not my fault she chose to sit next to him.
Should I back off and let other dancers who aren't as good as me get the money? How should I have handled this situation?

and if they were really your friends that would be happy for you not envious. I agree with the other girls, there is more than enough to go around and you take as much as you can because you are absolutely right, you deserve it! Rock on girl!
