Sure, I tip those. Waitresses earn less than minimum wage. Their salary assumes tipping will occur.
You are comparing someone who's wages are, say $5 per hour, with a dancer who earns $30 for a 3 minute song. For one hour of dancing, that's a theoretical maximum of $600/hour. Yes, yes, I know you don't dance continuously. But that waitress earns only about 25 cents in the same three minutes where you earn $30.
I don't expect to lose a left nut tipping, but I did overtip once, and my left nut was sore for several days.
I'm just saying that I think dancers are well compensated for removing their tops. I wish I got paid that well for taking my top off at the beach.
I just think it is silly for guys to ask dancers, gee, should I tip a dancer? Like, what answer do you think you are going to get?
As someone who has been to a strip club for a number of years, I'm just trying to contribute to my, as you put it, "brotherhood", to prevent my fellow man from wasting money tipping in a strip club. Dancers are already well compensated, and the quality of service you get from a dancer won't vary significantly depending on whether you tip or not.
That said, if guys still want to tip, and you can convince them to do so, more power to you. But I must protect the brotherhood, and try to save those who can be saved
