    Default What should I do?

    Ok, here's the backstory:
    I have a regular. He's been coming in for almost 2 years for me. In January he gave me a late Christmas present consisting of $10,000 in a box. I posted it about it.. Anyway, he's told me numerous times that it was a gift and he expects nothing in return, etc... Well since then he comes in once a month and gets there at about 8/8:30 and stays the whole night, so until about 1/1:30. He usually gets a deal and gets to sit up on the VIP couches all night for $100. He doesn't really buy any dances but enjoys sitting and talking with me and rubbing my legs, back, etc.. Now here's the kicker. He's only been giving me like $200-$250 for all that time! Ridiculous, right?! 4 1/2-5 hours and that's all I'm getting?! I don't know what to do about this. On one hand the dude gave me 10 grand but on the other hand he said it was a gift. I feel like I'm being greedy for wanting more money for my time but it is my job. I know he really likes me. He's older, almost 70 and so I'm kind of like a companion to him. I don't want to hurt his feelings and potentially lose a really good customer. I mean, who knows? Maybe there's another $10,000 coming to me...lol.. So should I just let things stay the way they are? I mean I'm only risking one night a month with him. Or should I say something? Like, "I love sitting with you but once it starts to get busy (he's been coming in on Tues nights which are pretty slow right now) I'm going to have to work the room." ? Or tell him that I'd rather take their money than his and do a little reverse psychology on him?? Ugh, I'm so confused!

    I would suggest not telling him that you would rather take someone else money over his, that might back-fire and he could take it as if you don't want his money. I think what you said about letting him know that you need to work the room is a good idea. I don't know how cut-throat your club is or how loyal he is, you you might want to take that into consideration before leaving him available for other dancers to sit with him. I guess 200-250, one night a month isn't that bad of a client. That should cover at least one bill or shopping trip

    I had a client in his mid 60's give me a gift of $7,000 last September. Like you I also felt like a companion. I was never too pushy about money and was always very patient and polite to him. That is until shit hit the fan. He was never a big spender (except for that gift) usually around 200 sometimes more, a few times he gave me only$20. He was rather time consuming but easy. He would come in every Monday. I flaked out on work one Monday, didn't have a way to get ahold of him. Anywho, the fucker showed up at my school, walked into my class room with flowers, calling out my STAGE name and asking me why I wasn't at work. Now mind you, I never told him where I went to school, what my real name was, what kind of car I drove ect ect. I had to call the cops. Had to have him banned from the club. I still have nightmares and flashbacks about that night. He still tries to get in the club and he still calls the club to see if I am working. Total fucking creep.

    Anyway, sorry about that rant. If I had known he would turn out to be such a creep, I would have never taken a penny from him. No amount of money was worth that. All customers have a time frame. You might be able to get some more dough out of him, or it might be the end of the line. You could always say you need to make more a night then what he is giving you. Then see if he gives you more or if he understands that you need to make it off another client.

    I would keep doing what your doing at least until next xmas...maybe the $10000 will be an annual thing.If not maybe its time to gently suggest you need to be making a bit more for your time!!!If its only once a month its really not such a big deal.

    Thanks ladies
    I know I sound so greedy but it only really bothers me because sometimes the Tues nights he comes in, the club will be busy and I feel like I could be making more somewhere else. Then all the other girls make all this money and they assume I make bank because I'm sitting with him for hours on end :/ Little do they know... But Nicc, yes this guy is really easy too.. I think I'm going to just let things go as they are. If it starts dropping below the $200 mark though, I'm gonna have to speak up. And that story.... WOW, scary!

    ^I agree...since he does give you 200-250 and it's only once a month - and he comes in on a slow night! I wouldn't leave him alone in the club! He sounds like a someone you would want to keep.

    Did he ever ask you about how the club works though? I mean is he aware that you still have to pay tip out after sitting there all night with him? Maybe he would give you some more if he knew?
    Another thought is - if you are not comfortable with asking for more money - maybe say something that will make him bring you a gift, mention something that you are saving up to buy or talk about something you have seen and really like and see if he falls for it, he might bring it to you next time he comes around. At least that's better than nothing!

    A lot of my regs have been super touchy about me sitting with other customers. The best ones will let me know when they've reached their limit and encourage me to work the floor. I, personally, will not. Let them use their money to control where I go and when....however, this guy is only coming in once a month and on a Tuesday, at that. 200 guaranteed on a slow night really isn't bad! And that's not even taking into consideration that he gave you 10 grand...I would cling to him like a spider monkey, girl.

    If you do the math $10000 divided by 12 monthly nights together equals $833 per night plus the $200+ that you get each night.Thats over $1000.Which im guessing is more than you would normally make on a tuesday.

    I dunno though... 4 hours of sitting for $200? That can be a little rough if there's other guys that could spend more. Does he expect you to sit with him the whole time? Or does he get upset if you work the floor really quick and come back? It'd be nice if you could make an arrangement where every hour you at least get to do a quick sweep and see if you can grab a few dances.

    Other than that, congrats on landing such a consistent customer!

    I think that's an ok deal for not having to do any nudity or high contact lapdances. Just getting leg rubs and conversation. But I see your point that even though its nice you could be making more on the floor. Maybe on nights when he comes in you could show up a bit earlier? You said he usually comes around 8, if you show up at 6 then you have two hours to really hustle before he gets there, and if he leaves around midnight, that still leaves you two hours of late night prime time before the bar closes. If that doesn't work for you...maybe try hustling this guy even harder for dances. He clearly is interested on some level, he gave you 10 grand. If you can't get him to pay for dances try the massage/shoulder rub angle...the guy's gotta wanna pay for SOMETHING with that much extra cash lying around!

    Why not try getting more gifts out of him or money for things you really want? Then he can bring you a hand bag or cash for school or new furniture or something and feel like he's a part of your life.

    I'd eat profit one night a month for $10k and the potential for more.

    As long as he's coming on slow nights when there's not much more going on, I'd suck it up. It's still a nice chunk of cash, after all, and since you've had this sort of system going on for a while, it may not go over so well to all of a sudden start asking for more cash.
