    Default Asking for tips in UK

    I'm going to start dancing in the UK and I'm a complete newbie. I've only worked in a strip club (not stripping) while I was in Ibiza so all I know is what I learned there and on this website and I'm trying to gain as much info before I start.

    Anyway, I know it is not as customary to tip here in England (in many different industries) so do customers still tip? Do you still ask for tips?

    It isn't custom but yes they do, and yes I ask. Sometimes they tip witout asking, but rarely-as you say, It's not 'normal' here.
    I gauge the situation with each guy. Some guys don't like to tip but if you say 'Can I have some change for a drink please?' They'll do it-they just don't like being asked outright for money. Some girls I've worked with just outright 'Can I have a tip please', personally wouldn't work for me as they often get told no or get rude responses-whcih would put me in a bad mood so I'm more subtle. Depends on your personality as to what the best way to ask for tips is.

    Okay.. weird, does that mean you get paid an hourly wage? I mean if you aren't being tipped then what is the point?

    To make clients look at you so that then they'll buy private dances (and you do get paid for those).

    From what I've gathered you make your money from private dances and VIPs/CRs.

    Yes stage tips are rare in the UK , although they do happen. I make all my money from selling private dances or VIP dances.

    I found tipping to be pretty uncommon from UK customers, though I had good luck getting tips from Americans who were visiting! Like sugarmouse suggested, gauge the customer before asking for a tip because you don't want to turn off a potential regular who wouldn't appreciate that, but as the old adage goes, you don't ask, you don't get!
