It's always such a foreign concept to me that there are girls who just sit around w/ customers to "relax" or "take a break". There are a couple of girls like this at my club. They pretty much just work for booze. It's sad.
I don't care if no one else is buying dances, I'd rather sit in the DR, eat, text message, read a book, go online, chat w/ other dancers, ANYTHING but aimlessly sit w/ customers for free or $10 a half-hour. Doing a half-hour of talking w/ some guy I have to put up a facade around (and yes, even if you think you really know a dancer ITC she almost always is, to an extent, maintaining some sort of facade for privacy or image or whatever), is actually a lot of energy. Energy that could be better reserved for when spending-customers actually come in, not to mention saving my voice not having to yell over loud music that whole time.
I wouldn't even sit with a guy for a half-hour to get a single dance, and I make $20 a dance at my club. Time flies when you're having fun, so to customers I dont think a half-hour seems very long, but it's for-fucking-ever for most profit-minded strippers. I think it encourages bad customer-habits too. Oh well, to each their own
