Like when you go for a half hour, how much do you expect the guy to give you on top of your half hour rate? And how much is it normal to expect for the hour?

Varies wildly depending on the club, the room rate, the part of the country you are in, the level of contact....




20%, just like other industries.
No less than 20% but I usually expect and want much more than that. LOL.



^^Me too!!
Is he paying cash or credit? How much of the standard rate goes to you? How much of a tip does the waitress ask for/demand? What time is it? Do you have other VIP prospects? Will the particular customer interpret a tip request as an extras offer? If so, will management back you up when you don't fuck him? Is he a regular? How drunk is he? There are so many variables that you really just have to rely on your experience and intuition.
I usually ask for a 100 tip up front, but don't push the issue too hard.
I usually ask for $100 per half hour which is pretty standard at the club I work at. But we're pretty high class no extras in the club and most guys know that nothing is going to happen after,

So I'm auditioning at a club that has a VIP room tomorrow. Old one didn't even have one. How and when do you ask for tips?

I just saw that there is a thread about this. Sorry! I'm still trying to figure this site out.









My goal is 1000 a night so whatever at that time I need to make to average the money per hour to get there!
What is a good way to ask for tip? I feel its kind of rude to ask, but hey, I'm just learning about this business and the hustle that goes along with it. Didn't realize how standard asking was. I guess what I'm asking is how would you word it?



The room charge is ____. My min tip is ____. Cool? Awesome! Lets go have some fun!
You guys ask for a tip at the beginning? I've never really done that (thinking about it now..) It seems like awkward timing since they've just thrown down 'X' amount for the room. Do they sigh and feel bombarded?
I get a tip out of almost every standard lapdance. After the dance my line is: "Do you mind giving me a little tip?" They almost always do- while they fumble and I get dressed I mention, "$20 is typical, but it is a tip" People really like precise directions!!! A lot of them don't know how any of it works and WANT you to set the scene. Sure, sometimes I get a $10 or a $5, occasionally even a handful of one, but I always accept is graciously and smile.
With rooms its been much more variable. How much did he spend on the room? Did he casually throw down the money or did he hem & haw and try to get a cheaper room? Guys are really coming in with huge varitions of expendable cash. In the last 2 weeks I had a military guy throw down $1500 for an hour, last night a broker whined and got an hour in a different room for $400...is the whiny broker going to give me an $80 tip? Probably not. Still- ALWAYS ASK.
I'd like to hear more about asking in the beginning...do you do it after the waitress has set you up with champagne? Does asking for an additional tip come across as implied extras (and how do you avoid this?) Do you mention that the club takes a large cut? (I think that'd how i'd go about it..) Doesn't it just seem more standard to ask for a tip after?
I personally ask for a tip after.



I work in the UK...I am happy if they even pay for VIP! Not sure if the word tip exists here![]()
I ask for a 20% tip up front if the customer is paying with a credit card, my club runs their card before they go in so I have no choice. If they are paying cash I ask for my tip at the end. Generally speaking I get much better tips when they're paying with a card, so I try to encourage that.
I also get higher tips on card !





Uuuuugh not looking forward to this when I begin working in the UK next weekI'm really going to miss American tipping
It really depends on the customer. If it's a guy I have a good relationship with who is more of a casual kind of guy, I will just suggest an amount-- "how about $1,000 on the card?" *wink wink flirty eyes* or something like that. My personality is this mixture of sweet/smiley/sarcastic/playful so I am awesome at pulling this off. But some guys are totally turned off by that and would find it totally rude and presumptuous so I wouldn't say it around them. They tend to be older, more formal in personality/behavior. If it's a someone who does them regularly I never ask for tips because it's implied. Also, I always make it a point to get in good with the waitresses who are the ones running the credit cards. They often help me get tips by pushing the customer to tip or explaining about fees (which sounds much better coming from them than from me).
If by chance somebody doesn't add a tip I will always ask for one. It never hurts to ask, and a half hour is a lot of time to spend with someone, especially in my club which is high contact so I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect one. Honestly it's really rare I have someone do VIP and not tip, VIP is $600 an hour so if a guy can afford that he's usually someone with money who understands tipping. The only time I haven't been tipped is with young broke guys who just maxed out their credit cards or foreigners. In the case of foreigner I say someone like "and now you're in America babe where we have this beautiful practice called tipping!" and they get it and will tip.
Amount wise, same thing it entirely depends on the customer. I used to have a customer that would tip me $2,000 and I have a customer who I have to twist his arm just to get $100 but he's totally regular and dependable so I deal with it. My minimum is $100 for a VIP but I'm pretty disappointed if that's what I end up with.




"The half hour VIP show is $400 plus tip." Sometimes I get tipped but mostly I just get paid the flat fee. My club is by far the most expensive VIP in my city, by double. So getting tipped for VIP is rare. I'm happy because I'm able to work smarter not harder at my current club.
see I appreciate tips, but i have done plenty of VIPS where I have gotten none. My regular tips me about 40$, usually we do an hour so he pays 800 already for the room. He comes back consistentatly so I don't worry about the tips, i'd rather make no tip and have him get a few hours a month.
I always ask for a tip, just like in dances, but if I don't get one I worry a lot less and Don't really push.
