    Default Well, that's a new one on me...

    A customer of the club (not "my" customer) recently started doing something quite annoying; he has been actively preventing dancers from hustling by inserting himself into the conversations uninvited. It wasn't just me, but the other girls have noticed this as well. Some of the girls have become actively hostile toward the customer, as they should be. I try to be nice(ish) when he tries it with me, saying something like, "Melvin, you're going to have to pay for this man's VIP dances if you continue interrupt." I'm pretty sure that Melvin is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and I cut him a break for that reason.

    But lately, a new crop of mentally sound customers have started doing the same thing. There were 3 men in the club yesterday, actively trying to push out other, higher paying customers from the club. Since I live in one of the most polite cities in the country, these nice guys will generally walk away instead of defending their space. (Yes, this scene from Portlandia is pretty accurate)

    I've got a couple of choices when this happens:
    -Put on my bitch face and tell off the offending customer.
    -Or try to get money out of the cheapskate.

    These men aren't doing anything wrong, per se, just cock blocking the dancers from making money. They are buying food and drinks from the bar, and will spend a small amount of money in stage tips and the occasional lap dance, so management is not interested in asking them to leave.

    One customer spent 9 hours in the bar yesterday, driving away other customers the entire time. He bought every dancer a drink who asked for one, but didn't buy a single dance while actively monopolizing the girls' time.

    To add insult to injury, the club has instituted a new policy that if a customer offers to buy a dancer a drink, WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT. I had 6 liters of water purchased for me yesterday, LOL!

    I don't know if this is just a Portland thing with customers actively cock blocking spending customers in the strip clubs, or if it is something that is happening everywhere. I was talking with a girl last night, and we are teaming up to act as each others wing man if this happens again. It would suck if this is the new Mystery Method or other meme to fuck with strippers.

    Just ignore them. I usually just position myself between the guy trying to butt in and the paying customer I'm working towards another round of dances. You can even use it to your advantage by stroking the ego of the guy you're currently working by putting you're arm around him or sitting in his lap or snuggling up to him and close talking.

    Happens a lot at my club on Tuesdays where due to the drink special there is a ton of cheapskate guys and not enough girls so they start approaching dancers using their typical let me buy you a drink game they use at bars. They probably think they are more "alpha" than the guys paying for dancers time and buying dances which is why they interrupt your conversations. Because you know, you'll obviously want to go home with them after a drink or two.

    If they continue to provoke you can offer to go sit somewhere more private if there is space avail. Move to the patio. Or better yet use it as a reason to get back to dances where you can be alone.

    It's annoying but you can use it to your advantage. Especially if the guy you've been dancing with is the the type that probably loses to those guys in his usual life. Make him feel special like he's the only guy in the world.

    Trixia's suggestions are really good. I would also say something like "Honey, I'm talking to this gentleman right now" (wrap arm around paying customer) "If you want to buy dances from me you'll have to wait your turn" then turn your back on him. I've found that stating that you expect payment from cheap asses tends to make them run the other way--most of the time! I would just try to not get angry or yell as that can be turn off to the *real* customers...but you can still tell them to fuck off like a lady.

    Wow, that's a new one. I had never seen this behavior before!


    BTW, I love "Portlandia".

    Sometimes I think behavior like that is out of ignorance or lack of manners , but other times I think it's intentional. If the person just seems socially inept and clueless, I'll gently tell them my customer and I were "just about to do some dances," etc.
    If it seems like someone is just trying to be an asshole or trying to manipulate a situation, I'll give them a bitchy look and make them feel uncomfortable. It might sounds bitchy, but guys like that are wasting time and energy and need to be put in their place .

    ^I've seen customer's like this too, unfortunately. They seem to get off on interfering and getting a reaction from the dancers (they don't spend, so they opt for negative attention as it's still attention). Other's are too stupid to realise that "befriending" customer's in a strip club isn't the social norm. Ignore this man, or approach management with the other girls.
