    Default Stage tipping with $2 bills?

    As a dancer, would this bother you? Why or why not?

    I'm sure I'll be asked why I want to do this (deuces?) instead of singles, and I figure the reasons are two-fold:
    1: It's been a while since I've had $2 bills. I'll admit, there's a big part of me that just likes the novelty of them.
    2: Fewer bills in the wad in my pocket, and crisp bills will be easier to extract for stage tips. Alternately, same number of bills (if I double up,) but crisp bills from the bank still feel nicer.

    As I see it:
    Pros:
    A: Fewer bills for the dancers to tuck away, or twice the money (depending on how I throw them out.)
    B: May fake some drunken lurker into trying to one-up me because I'm throwing out "large" bills?

    Cons:
    a: An unfamiliar dancer may think I'm throwing bills larger than $2 out, and get annoyed when it isn't?
    b: Worse than above, a dancer unfamiliar with the $2 might think it's fake and flip their shit at me?
    c: (you fill in the blank here, because I'm sure there's something I'm not thinking of )

    Ultimately, #1 is my main reason for wanting to do this, but #2 is a weird unexpected (potential) bonus.
    Under the "Cons" heading, I'd definitely check with the cash guy (or gal) to make sure they know what a $2 is first, and any dancer who was weirded out by it could check with them and get a pair of singles if it was really important to them.

    Money is money but that would annoy me. I've never even had a 2$ bill before so I wouldn't know what to make of it and I might think it was novelty or something and not real currency. Why do you want to do this so badly? Do you have a bunch of 2 dollar bills for some reason or would you have to get them specially just do this unnecessary thing? And it wouldnt really make you memorable to me personally. After I found out the bills were legit and then traded them in or spent them/put them in the bank it would just be a minor annoyance that I have many of in the club and you would be forgotten about. I also wouldnt know it was even you gave them to me because I don't really look through my money when im done on stage. Not until later.

    My club gives them out to people for some reason, I have no idea how they get so many.. but yes it’s a little annoying and I usually try to pawn them off on the dj, managers and door girl. Money is money so I’m not complaining but $2 is still $2, even if I didn’t see them all the time I wouldn’t be any more impressed or amused than I would if someone tipped two singles

    It's not so much wanting to do it "so badly" as a concurrence of "going to the club soon" and "thinking about two dollar bills."

    It'd mostly be about the novelty - for me. I've always liked $2 bills - I think they're neat - but I haven't really had many pass through my hands. Strip clubs are pretty much the only place where I spend small bills. Therefore: If I want a bunch of two dollar bills, I should go spend them at the club if I don't want to just have them sitting around the house or have to remember to bring them on a shopping trip.

    On the other hand, I also hear all kinds of stories about people thinking they're fake (see: your response) or just not having encountered them before (see again: your response ,) which is why I figured I'd ask somewhere there's a bunch of dancers who probably see more "small change" in a night than I have in a lifetime.

    As change, on request, or both? I'd bet it's some sort of "get money into the club" technique. Get someone used to spending $2 for stage tips and all that, increase amounts of stage tips. If we assume management is looking out for #1, maybe it cuts down on dancers who can't make the house fee?

    I give it about 50/50 which one I'd do in my situation - the mental habit of throwing down one bill per song for stage shows is heavily ingrained for me.

    I'd be curious whether you've noticed a difference in amounts you collect from the stage at your current club and previous clubs with similar volumes (not dollar amounts) of stage tipping.

    As for how they get so many... they're easy to get at the bank, but only if you ask. The only "extra work" I'd do if I wanted $2s is hitting up to the bank on the way home rather than going to the ATM on the way to the club.

    To be fair, I impress by tipping nicely for lap dances, not anything to do with the stage. Memorablility (is that even a word) is only a side thought while I was thinking the consequences through and making my list, not a primary (or even secondary) goal.


    Out of curiosity, to both of you: what would be the "annoyance" factor? I thought of a fair number of things, but that's one that didn't cross my mind when I was writing my original post... and that's two of you mentioning it in the first two replies.

    Well, money is money but some people might think that it's fake and get pissed off. I know the first time I seen one I thought that it was fake. You just don't commonly see $2 bills.

    I think you are way overthinking this....

    Money is money but honestly $2 bills are like $50s to me - they throw off my rapid money counting and I will probably change them immediately or tip out with them (to other people who would rather have $1 bills). I've also found it hard to spend them, lots of cashiers are suspicious.

    They give them out as change and no I don’t notice a difference, if anything I make better tips at my other club. An extra dollar here and there really doesn’t make much of a difference. Management doesn’t care if we make house fee either because you pay when you walk in and if you don’t make it back that’s your problem.

    Probably.

    Mostly because I'm at least trying to show that I've thought of the pros and cons of it and still couldn't come to a decision, meaning the thread isn't just needless spam. After reading the responses here, it sounds like the $2 bills are probably more trouble than they're worth for dancers, "money is money" aside (I think every initial dancer response has had that line in it so far )

    I guess that's the annoyance factor then. I didn't even think of how you might count your cash.

    Interesting twice; I didn't know y'all paid when you went in. It really does make me wonder why they do that now, though - I can't think of a logical reason for it otherwise.

    because they don't care about us, they want their money and don't care if we have to pull it out of our own bank account. it also depends on the club. at a smaller more laid-back club i would be more likely to notice an extra few bucks and have time to pay attention to the guy who tipped me. at a big, higher quality club where i'm paying $100 to work and it's busy.. a few bucks in either form probably won't make me bat an eye. just my two cents (dollars? lol)

    i don't mean to sounds unappreciative of tips but it's also not my fault that so much of it gets taken away. putting so much thought into small tips makes me wonder what kind of club you go to and what you consider a generous tip on a lap dance? day or night shift? i don't mean that in a bad way just curious bc all clubs are different and day and night shift can also be very different vibes. $20 on friday night in vegas doesn't really have the same value as $20 on the day shift on tuesday at a small club in a rural area

    Oh yeah, I know they're money-grubbing bastards. I meant that I didn't understand why they gave change in $2 bills if it wasn't some sort of self-serving plan otherwise (i.e. you pay house fee at the END of the night or something, and they deal with a bunch of BS if it's a slow night and you can't pay.)

    I live and club in Seattle; as far as I can tell, stage tipping here is... let's say rare. It's not nonexistent, but it seems to be more one-shot attention-getting tipping than my more consistent "I'm watching the stage so I should tip" tipping. In my experience, I get attention anyway just because I tip at all. Imagine your reaction if you did stage sets for 3 or 4 rotations and didn't get a single dollar as a tip - that's the sad reality for clubs around here from what I've observed. Lap dances are where the money is made. To answer your other question, I usually end up at the club around 7-8pmish... so probably really early night shift? I also usually go on weekday nights, which are quieter anyway.

    Posted lap dance prices in most of Seattle are still $20, I believe. In practice, it's $30 standard, $40 topless - probably to take advantage of the Amazon employees next door to the club I visit most. There are some exceptions to the $30/$40 rule, but they're rare.

    I tend to get two topless dances at a time - enough to tell if a dancer is worth taking to the VIP, enough to let me try 3 or 4 dancers in an evening. Tip on top of that is $20 unless it was a truly horrible dance (e.g. zero contact air dance, aggressive sales tactics, smelly dancer up close, funny story*, etc.) - in that case I'll stop after a single song anyway. I wouldn't call it a "generous" tip as you put it, but hey, it's 25% - better than standard for a restaurant and better than I typically hear about in Seattle (unless you're getting "extras," which is another discussion entirely.)


    * Funny story since it doesn't fit in with the flow of the comment. Brand new dancer, terrible boob job (way too big to the point where they were wrinkled on the bottom,) but she was cute and enthusiastic so I figured I'd give her a chance. Her pole work was pretty okay for a newbie, at least to my untrained eye. For the lap dance, she stayed clothed, I got to touch "wherever I wanted," but she spent the whole dance kind of... wiggling in my lap? It was very weird, amusing, and a little unsettling all at the same time. The "tip" she got in that case was some suggestions on what a lap dance actually looked like and that she should ask other dancers for some pointers as well.

    Actually, I think there are a lot of people missing the point. I stand out anyway because I'm practically the only one tipping the stage in the first place when I go. I've said a couple of times in this thread that I was spitballing on what the general "pros" would be for using $2 bills. I've tried blanking that out so I'm not accused of revisionism, but I'm just going to edit it out now to remove the temptation to comment on it.

    And don't worry, the money gets spent - it just gets spent on lap dances rather than at the stage.

    Casa Diablo: They give out exclusively $2 bills when you go up to the bar to break down your $20's for stage tipping. Then if you are at the rack, it's a $2 minimum per song. SO yes, the ladies make more money this way, but EVERYONE there is using the $2 bills. So in Portland, when you go get coffee and use a $2, everyone is like, ooh I know where YOU were last night!

    A club I used to work at had $2 Tuesdays where every drink was two bucks, even expensive ones. To go along with the marketing of it, they only gave customers change in $2 bills until they ran out of $2 bills for the night. If girls got rained on, it was in $2 bills. lol.

    I imagine the money is more appreciated than the origami. I might do something like that with a dancer I already had a business relationship with, if I thought it'd actually amuse her specifically.
