    Default Is it worth the trouble?

    I've had several good experiences in one club, but tonight a dancer tried to rip me off. First she charged me for two dances during a 2 for 1. No big deal - I got two dances; I paid what I normally paid for two. However, a few moments later she came by my table and accused me of shortchanging her $5. Rather than deal with bouncers over $5, I paid up. Overall I got ripped off $20.

    Maybe for the club and the dancer $20 isn't much, but it's still more than pocket change to me. I'm not worried about gettin my money back, but I think the club should know and the dancer should be reprimanded. Is it worth the trouble?

    I think it depends on the club. If it's more of an upscale classy place the mgmt. should know and if it's a respectable place of business they would welcome your comment/complaint. I think if you call the Mgr. and let them calmly know what happened it would be good. Sometimes the club will side with the dancer and sometimes not. Maybe they have heard of this particular girl doing this before, you never know.
    It's better to be looked over, than overlooked.

    I always said go to the boss. Always. You are working under their roof and paying them. If the management does nothing. Then you know that in the future you are going to probably have this sort of thing happen again, and not to waste your time much longer there as a dancer. I mean hey thats why we have management, a 'boss'.

    The lovely Pamela speaketh the Truth. Managers are there ostensibly to manage and regulate the business and to keep those who are putting money in their pockets, the customers, happy to a resonable point. Its wholly possible that this dancer has done this to others, and management has gotten complaints about her, and yours may be the final one to get rid of her. If you complain to management in a level headed, respectful manner, you will look like less of a whining, rejected, axe grinding customer and more of a honestly wronged consumer.

    You never know unless you open your mouth. You aren't making unjustifiable waves if you are in the right.

    If nothing happens, you have paid $20 bucks to know to never give the establishment a cent more of your money. You can pass your experience to you friends as a warning as well.

    also, are you 100% sure she tried to rip you off? I've had guys accuse me of trying to scam them and it pisses me off because I"m not like that.

    Just last night this guy got a dance (pre-paid by his friend) and then I asked him if he wanted a second one. I swear I thought he said yes and kept going another song and asked him again. He said no. Then as I was asking him for the additional $20, he was all like "oh, this is how you have to make your money. I hope you're pleased with youself. This is pathetic." Apparently he didn't want a second dance, but I did not hear him and anyway, it was a huge misunderstanding and I was left looking like the bad guy when I am just NOT a scam artist...especially over $20...but he left believing I was.

    Sideshow:

    Go to the manager, and do not be afraid of the bouncers--they are employees too. Demand to see the manager then and there. You have lost your window of opportunity if you let time slip by--kiss it goodbye if you go out the door.

    To most of the public, dancers have the reputation (wrongly for many, I am sure) for three things--being sexy, being loose and being dishonest. If I could eliminate one of the three, I would choose dishonesty.

    You should have first confirmed it was 2 for 1 time before she started dancing. If not then you should have mentioned it after (calmly) when you were paying or she was asking for payment for 2 dances. If she told you anything other than 'sorry yeah it was 2 for 1 that's $10' at that point, you should have gone to the manager at that moment. You don't have a leg to stand on if you try to complain now. They will blow you off as someone with an axe to grind. Chalk it up as a lesson learned that only cost you $20. Some guys have to learn that lesson at a much higher price. I'd say don't avoid that club, but do avoid that girl. The girls at every club will vary vastly and the fact that one overcharged you does not mean they all will!

    If something like this happens again at that same club, and you complain to the manager but he does nothing about it, THEN you have a reason to avoid that club. Just make sure you are in the right, and not trying to pay a lower fee that some girls may accept, but isn't necessarily the standard dance price. If you complain about a girl expecting $20 for a dance when that is the standard club price, you will just look like an ass because any girl who accepts anything lower is doing so of HER own accord, and the club will not encourage it. If some girls normally accept $35 for two dances when the standard dance price is $20 per song, again, you have no business complaining when another girl expects the full $40 for two songs because that is the standard price. I'm not saying this is what you're doing, but alot of customers get discount priced dances from some girl, then complain when another dancer wants the full standard price, rather than appreciating the fact that they merely got a discount from someone else! The club will only back you up if a girl is trying to charge you more than the standard price.

    You shouldn't have paid the extra $. You should have gone to a manager right then. I guess you have nothing to lose if you complain now but you chances would have been better right after.

    I'm not too concerned about getting the money back. I've had too many good experiences at the club to be fussy over $20. I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Obviously I'll avoid that dancer like the plague, but my issue is whether it's worth bringing up to management. It seems that most of the replies agree that management should be notified.

    Yes management should be notified AT THE TIME something like that happens, but not after the fact. Now you won't be accomplishing anything by telling them, except maybe looking like an ass. If you tell them at the time it happens, they can do something about it and will if they're professional.

    Remember that both dancers and management are fully aware of the fact that many customers want the SC fantasy to become reality, and that they will become pissed and do stupid things when they are rebuffed. If you come running to a manager screaming "This bitch ripped me off! etc etc etc they will most likely toss you out with a possible foot up your ass. They don't like any sort of troublemakers. If you have a legitimate complaint against a dancer, bring this to the attention of a manager in a calm, rational way. Your demeanor and attitude is really all you have in terms of credibility, because they usually don't know you from Adam. Be civil about it and it's far more likely you will get positive results.

    By the way, I know Adam . I can tell he isn't you.

    The way I would have personally handled that situation as a customer......

    I would have paid the girl for the dance and when she came back for the other fiver I would have handed it to her and stated that she would never get the opportunity to earn a dollar from you again. On your way out find the most decent looking manager type and matter-a-factly mention it to him on your way out the door stating that you got fucked by said dancer and that you'll never spend another dime on the girl.

    If you like the club then I wouldn't take the action's of that one girl out on everyone, I'm sure that the other girl's deserve a chance to win your favor as well.

    I personally prefer to slap there conscience as apposed to superficial gradification, hell for 20 bux you found out she a piece of shit, if she would have pulled something like that after 6 month's of being your ATF then you would really be pissed.

    As long as you do not return to that girl, certainly report the incident. The club has an obligation to it's customers if it wants to remain in business. Your case might come down to he said ,she said but if she continues this behaviour management is sure to bring discipline to her. How do you know she won't try to blackmail other customers if she gets away with it?
