    Default Asking for tips

    Hey ladies I was so upset at A post I encountered on redbook, I don't know why I bother reading customer comments. But this one was about asking for a tip. Does anybody ask? I do it occasionally I either get tipped or not. But these customers were bad mouthing girls who ask for tips! Saying they wouldn't repeat. IMO if your getting service anywhere u should tip it's just etiquette. You tip ur waitress, bell boy, hairdresser etc. I mean wtf. If He kept getting repeated dances with me & spending money then I won't ask but if it's just a 20 or 40 come on guy don't be a cheap skate and I won't give u a shitty dance!

    ^True. I ALWAYS ask, if they say no, they say no. But, a lot of the time they are happy to give you a small tip for your time (a small tip for a small amount of time that is lol) /after a dance. My pet hate is, "...but, I just bought you a drink/I'll buy you a drink" .

    just be friendly about it if they say no (unless they're a pain in the ass or say something super douchey) & i dont see the big deal. if they're whining about you asking they probably aren't worth much time anyway

    i mention the tip before the dance. It's less pushy. They ask how much for the dances and depending on my mood:
    "just $20 per song"
    "it's $20 per song and if you love it, tips are welcome/appreciated but not mandatory"
    OR
    "$40 gets you two songs baby"

    customers who post online are just cheapos who are trying to encourage other guys to be cheap like them. in reality, they are the small portion and you will make a lot more money if you ask for tips. who the fuck cares if you get "repeat business" for one fucking $20 dance.

    I subtly mention tips and I outright ask for them, and I've definitely made more money doing this than I did when I didn't ask. If a guy buys one dance I'll usually say something along the lines of, "That's $XX for the dance, and tips for my college fund are always appreciated!" or whatever. If he's stupid or drunk I'll be more blunt and say, "It's $XX to the club and $XX for me" and I just pull dollar amounts out of my butt based on how much money it seems like he has. But I do tend to reserve this for guys who buy single dances, because someone who wants multiple dances or an hour of my time is pretty much guaranteed to leave me a nice fat tip anyway. Those are the guys I want to build rapport with, not the guys who are going to be giving me a $10 tip.

    I'm going to try "it's £x and tips are always appreciated!"

    'tipping' isn't really done in uk, except they do tip the bar staff and in restaurants. but i mentioned tips/asked/heavily hinted when i first started at my current club and it fucking helped me to my targets. i think i've just lost the balls i had back then.

    Think there's any way to just have the money instead of the drink they offer? They expect time from me for buying a drink, but i'm more likely to take the drink and leave. if they give me money instead sure i'll chat with you for a bit! LIke, they're happy to spend that amount on me but don't want to just give it directly..?

    Yeah, when they ask how much, I tend to say either, "It's $x, +tip of course" tee hee, bat eyes, or I'll run through the math and say, "So at least $x", depending on the customer. Usually get at least a few more bucks out of the guy.


    I don't drink, and I don't do pop either, so I'll usually thank them for the offer but explain that my landlord got really pissed the last time I tried to pay my rent in vodka sevens.

    Default Re: Asking for tips

    (After lap dances): It will be x for the dances and I accept $5/$10/$20 bills (your choice) in my g string.

    (VIP/CR): The room is $400 and gratuity makes it a party.

    (After rude customers): It will be $240 including the 20% asshole tax. (Yes it has worked a few times for me)

    (For young guys): It will be $60 and if you tip me my tank is on empty.
    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 sometimes ask. Not always. If I can tell the guy is a big spender then I'll assume I'm going to be happy with the amount he gives me. Sometimes after just doing a few dances with someone when he's getting his money out to pay I'll say, "tips are appreciated" with a smile. Gets them almost every time.

    If it's a busy night and I sat with a guy for a few mintues who ends up not wanting dances, I'll occasionally ask for a tip "just for being cute." That works more often than not, lol.

    I work in a high-extras city, and I've demanded money from guys who have wasted my time by not telling me up-front that they only want extras. Like if I sit with a customer for 10-15 minutes and he seems interested, only for me to find out he wants extras and not dances, I'll ask him to give me a tip for wasting my time before I leave him to go find what he wants. That usually works, I guess the guys get a little embarrassed when they find out I won't service them in that way lol.

    Really depends on where you work and your customer style. If you like to maintain regulars, maybe it could be seen as short-sighted to ask for a tip, possibly turning off the guy and then losing his future business. I've heard SO SO many guys complain about dancers asking for tips. In fact, my club has a strict policy against asking customers for tips, possibly because it comes across to men as spoiled and greedy. that said, if you don't expect to see the guy again, what have you got to lose? Ask and you shall receive.

    Though asking for tips is not my style personally - I think it's tacky if my taxi driver, server, esthetician etc asks me for tips - and... I always tip, and I tip well.

    Say/do this:

    "Tips are always welcome"...while you rub his shoulder or neck b4 or during the dance. Ah, don't forget to smile and act all flirty while asking for them.
