I have a regular that comes in every time I work. Although he doesnt spend a crazy amount of money, he is good for a guaranteed $100 everytime I go in. The problem is, is that he is really needy. Im having a problem leaving him to go do dances for other customers when he just wants to talk after the dances are finished. Its fine on a slow day for me to stay with him extra time to chat, but on a busy day its best for me to continue making rounds.
The last time I went in, he left in a huff because I told him after the dances were finished that I had 2 tables already waiting on me and that I had to go. On that night I had 3 regulars show up at the same time and the other two were getting pissed because I wasnt showing up at their tables fast enough. Concequently, one of them left and I lost money.
How do I back out from the long conversation gracefully and still keep him happy? Or should I just drop this particular customer?
