    Default An Owner Who Gets It!

    I just read this post today on a discussion frugal living and a club owners POV on cheap customers. I've fallen in love!
    http://www.city-data.com/forum/fruga...ey-cant-3.html

    I understand not wanting to get ripped off and holding a large company to their advertisements, but as a partner in a strip-club I can tell you that sometimes bargain hunters can be a real PITA for small-business owners.

    We have free admission Sunday through Wednesday, along with drink specials and $1 draft beer. We get a few guys that come in for free, spend a dollar for a beer, and proceed to nurse that beer (and watch the girls dancing) for a few hours, without tipping either bartenders or the dancers.

    Although legally I can't do anything about it I constantly brainstorm as to what I could do, short of convincing my partner to end the free admission. I've had some success in shaming the guys, but some just don't seem to have any shame.

    I know the economy is tough, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I see this happening. There's a difference between being frugal and being downright cheap.

    Support your local small-businesses, or you'll be shopping for EVERYTHING at Wal-Mart one day soon...

    I've heard of clubs requiring patrons to purchase one dance before being admitted to the club. I thing that is something more clubs should do.

    Just like a two drink minimum! If you go to see bands you gotta spend. It should be the same thing with us.

    Can you imagine??? There was even a guy further down on that thread who laughingly talked about giving COUPONS to the bartenders and dancers instead of getting dances!!! I'd want to punch him in his face for handing me a frickin' coupon! Unbelievable.

    Cheap ass customers always blaming shit on the economy. Those assholes shouldnt be let in. That owner should only have Sundays as free admission. Wed-Sun is way too many days & that attracts cheapos. imo.

    Bartenders should also hassle them for tips. Fuck that shit. If they can't even tip a bartender, they're def not gonna spend on a dancer.

    Fkn cheap assholes who want it all. I hate them with a passion. lol.

    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    OMG fuckin' brilliant. That's what I'm talking about!

    And the thing is the freakin' guys spread their bad vibe and make fun of paying customers! They sit their arrogantly scoffing at other customers who pay treating like they're idiots. Very bad party attitude. That's one thing I loved about Jersey, seeing the old time customers bully the new ones into tipping. Love that sh*t!

    Lol at the guy in that thread who says he gives strippers tickets for free meals at his casino:

    "so they know i work in the casino business and it allways the standard joke trade a dance for a free meal ticket or free special that we have running at the time ..most of the time i just give them tickets anyway and tell them enjoy them"

    ugh. fuck freebies in clubs. there is a different between broke and cheap. a lot of cheapasses HAVE money. they just don't want to spend it. not only do they piss off girls and staff, but they also annoy customers who do spend. generous customers don't like being in the presence of assholes like that.

    and to be fair, i'm not hating on custies who are on a budget. if he can only afford entry, a couple drinks, and a dance or two, maybe some stage tips, i get that. not everyone is gonna be able to throw money around.

    the thing about bargains is that the more you offer, the more they expect. offer free entry, they bitch about having to buy drinks. they start thinking they're doing the club a favor by even coming in.


    when i first read this story, it reminded me of cheapasses in the club.
