    Default Etiquette while checking out clubs

    At the first club I worked at, I had already been in there as a customer. Plus, it was the only SC in town, so it's not like I had other options to consider if I wanted to dance. Now, I want to go up to the bigger city about an hour away and try a club there. But I've never been a patron of any of them. I checked out a few them briefly right after I quit my old club. But it seems clubs in Indiana aren't really big on "touring" you around and explaining anything to you before you audition. You basically just say "I'm interested in working here," and they go "Ok, come back 9, ready to dance." I'd really like to go back to a couple of these clubs and just sit there as a customer for awhile. Get a feel for the place, see how busy it is, maybe talk to a few girls. Since it's more of a "business" visit for me, I don't really want to spend a whole lot of money. I don't want to buy dances since I'm not there for fun. I'll adhere to the club's drink minimum rules, but I don't really want to spend money on anything else since that isn't why I'm going. Is that rude?

    I don't want to be a jerk customer that sits there not spending money... but I'm not really a customer, am I? Also, what would be the etiquette in regards to asking a dancer questions about working there? I'm sure some girls wouldn't mind but what if I was so unlucky as to pick someone who didn't like the idea of me coming in and being more competition? Should I even bother to say that's why I'm really there and ask questions about it? Or should I just observe silently and then ask a manager any lingering questions?

    I think you should tip the girls while you're there, because you are essentially going to learn from them by watching them and their interactions among other things. You are benefiting from their presence in that establishment.

    Oh, and unless you work there or are already asking for a job, and you're just sitting there, watching, I think you're still a customer, just my opinion.

    If you want to ask the girls questions about the club etc., pay them for their time. I will talk with someone about anything, as long as I am getting paid for my time. While you might not be working, they still are.

    So, to make this short, please tip the girls.

    I think tipping would help your chances of the staff liking you. Also it wouldn't hurt telling management your scopeing out new places to work. Sometimes if management wants you to dance there you get a few perks like a free drink or two and of course free admission. Every time I said I was job searching I never got a cover charge.

    I do that but I do buy a dance once in a while. I like to see what the LDs look like and what might happen.

    I also like to see what kind of style I would use there. I went to this one club where the girls ran from the women.. I understand sometimes but to my amazement the girls were more polite than the guys. and were tipping fives and tens. I don't think I made a good impression to the girls cause when they wouldn't take the tips.. I got them down my top.

    You may not feel like a customer but if you're in the club and you're not working, you are one, so +3 on tipping the girls if you want to ask them questions. If you don't way to spend a lot, just don't monopolize their time. If you want to get more info out of em, go during a quiet time so it's not like they're missing out on potentially good customers to talk to you for a few bucks. Of course, then you don't get to see the club at its peak. It's a toss up, so you need to decide if you'd rather go at a peak time and see how busy the club can get, or if you'd rather get a feel for the girls.

    For me, it depends on HOW I'm checking out the club.

    If I am going in real quick, I'll sit near the back, and watch for maybe 15 minutes. This is a quick scope of quality of girls, stages, decor, etc. If I haven't called ahead and spoke to a manager, then I'll also ask to speak with a manager and ask about house fees, etc.

    If I like what I saw, then I'll go back again and stay longer, tip the girls, talk with them for a bit, maybe get a lap dance or two. And I tip then. This is a more in-depth check.

    I did this at Ricks here in San Antonio. My good friend who I've known for over 5 years dances there and I showed up unexpectedly and tipped her.

    I guess they want me to work there, idk

    Pay your cover.

    Buy your drink minimum.

    Watch a few girls on stage, tip them.

    Buy 1 lap dance so you can see the lap dance area and get an idea of what contact is like. You can ask the dancer questions about contact, rules, customer base while she is dancing. Tip her an extra $10 if she gives useful information and seems coherent. $5 if she is blowing off your questions.

    If a couple dancers sit down with you then tip them $10 and ask them some questions. If they stay for more than 5 minutes then tip them another $10 and thank them for their time.

    That's how I would do it. It shouldn't cost you more than $100 all-in-all, but you'll get a better feel of the place.
    If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.
