I've been reading the forums and articles here and have really learned a great deal. One thing that stands out is that there are few industry standards here when it comes to prices, tipping and the dancer's share of what she earns. I had no idea that the dancers turned over part of their LD money to the house. I was under the impression that the dancers generally paid a set amount to the house, djs, bouncers, etc.
From reading the forums, it seems that the financial agreements between dancers and clubs vary greatly. So, is it out of line to come out and ask the dancer if she has to give part of her LD money to the club? And if so, how much? That would greatly in figuring a fair tip while maximizing the amount of cash we have for our entertainment. You know, not being seen as cheapskates while getting the best deal for ourselves as well.
Also, while we're talking about money, recently one of the waitresses asked me if I wanted to buy a dancer a drink for $20. She offered that the dancer received have the amount and the house kept the other half. Well, LDs are also $20 and it was about time to go so I said I thought I would just have another dance instead. The dancer seemed to be pleased with that choice and I got my dance, tipped her and left.
Later I wondered if that was the right thing to do. A little enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thanks
