I have a fetish regular whom I call Nylon Guy. Real nice guy and a very loyal regular. He never, ever buys dances. What he likes is for me to put on a pair on nylons that he buys for me (regular nylons, control top even!). Then I sit with him and he rubs my legs, plays with my feet, and watches me walk or cross my legs. When we first started, he paid VIP or near-VIP prices but only bought two or three songs of this. Now he buiys ten or fifteen songs but pays just $10 per song. This is great even so, because he usually comes in on Mondays or Sundays early in the shift, when it's slow anyways. Easy, guaranteed money.
The problem arises when he comes in later in the night. Friday and Saturday (tonight) he came in at past 12:30 AM. This is the busiest time of the busiest shifts. Both nights the crowd was so ready to be hustled that all I needed do was give a wink and grab them by the arm, and off we would head to VIP. To recap, VIP dances are $30; Nylon Guy pays $10 to sit with him on the floor.
On Friday, I tried to tell him to come back the next day before 10PM, as I was very busy with VIPs. He wanted to stay anyways. I didn't get to him until the last song of the night. Well, he came in tonight, but not until 12:45 AM (VIP closes at 1:30 AM and the bar closes at 1:50AM). Again, I didn't have time for him.
So, what would you do in this situation? Take the $10 from a regular or go for the $30 VIP? I wound up giving him the last three songs of the night for free (VIP was closed anyways).

Honestly I would have gone for the VIPs. I would have explained to him (pretty much like you did) that weekends are really busy (and as he saw first hand) it's almost impossible for you to sit down for any length of time. Suggest he come in on "Monday" (or whatever slower day you have) where you will have the time to spend with him. I'd focus the key on time with him rather than the money aspect (besides, he should know you can make more doing VIPs on a weekend-not only should he know-but he should respect it)
