There are tons of other factors over which you also have no influence that affect the quantity of customers that come into the club. All you can do is go in and work with the customers you've got. Read up on hustle hut and gas prices or any other factors shouldn't pose too much of a problem for you.





Thanks so much, good point!




Yeah. the losers had to carpool. Lol
If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.

I think it def affects business. I've been in the business for a long time and I can tell you this. When it takes 30 extra dollars to fill your tank thats 30 less dollars you have to spend on whatever you want to buy. It might mean one less lap dance you get or 10 less 1 dollar bills you throw up on the stage. I don't think gas prices keep guys from wanting to drive up to the club as much as it keeps them from buying more dances and also drinking more which usually equals more money for us working that shift.





^^^agreed, it's a function of 'disposable income' still remaining after 'necessary' things are paid for. With most 'regular guy' paychecks not increasing, every time a higher gasoline price, or a higher state and local tax, or higher food prices, or higher heating / utility bills, or higher health insurance premiums, forces additional money to be spent on a 'necessary' item, that leaves less cash to be spent on 'discretionary' items ... like lap dances.
In general, upscale clubs in big cities aren't anywhere near as badly affected as suburban clubs. One reason for this is that upscale club customers tend to be professionals / businessmen with higher earnings, whereas suburban club customers tend to be more blue collar. Thus, as a percentage of 'disposable' income, upscale club customers are less affected by rising gas and food prices ( just because they earn twice as much doesn't mean that they eat twice as much or burn twice as much gas ).
Another 'nasty' side effect of declining 'disposable' incomes is that the suburban club customer who used to have $200 a week available as 'disposable income' last year but now only has $100 a week of 'disposable' income available seems to think that his $100 has suddenly become more 'valuable'. Or put another way, he's now likely to expect higher 'mileage' in the VIP room in exchange for the $100 he is spending.
I agree that it doesn't slow down "club business," but just gives cheap-os another reason to spout about why they can't tip you or buy dances (even though they just dropped $60 on drinks). Imho, if spending an extra $10-40 a month than you normally do on gas is going to affect your discretionary income that much, you probably don't have the discretionary income to be wandering into a SC in the first place, so you shoulda just stayed home. Honestly, guys who don't want to shell out money will use the gas excuse no matter how high gas prices are. Whether it's jumping from 3.10 to 4.10 or 3.10 to 3.20, timewasters are still gonna bitch about how it's "why they can't spend money on you." Whatever. Just makes weeding out timewasters easier lol
Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
QFT! It's like the guys who ask for a discount because of the recession or shitty economy. Dude, I'm going through it just as much as you are so PAY UP. They'll always think of some sort of reason to justify asking for a discount. Don't let them. Your worth is not affected by gas prices.
