    Default Rules for customers

    I think I'm gonna make a little flyer about strip club etiquette to hand out to certain customers. Like the groups of young hipsters who come in and watch the dancers and drink ten pitchers of beer and never tip even once. Or the assholes who sit at the rack and don't tip. I'm actually on my way to work right now, but here's a really quick rough draft of the rules I can think of:

    1. If you sit at the rack, tipping at least $1 per song is required.
    2. Regardless of where you sit, if you're watching the dancers tipping is required.
    3. Customers are not allowed to put songs in the jukebox. If you have a song request, ask a dancer to play it for you. If a dancer chooses to allow you to pick a song or songs, put some money in the jukebox and tip the dancer when she dances to your songs.
    4. Don't touch the dancers at any point. This can get us fired and/or arrested.
    5. Don't talk dirty to us when we're dancing on stage. If that's something you're interested in, buy a table dance and ask the dancer if she's okay with dirty talk.
    6. Don't BLOW ON OUR GENITALS! It's invasive and most of us can't stand it.

    If you have anything to add, please comment! Sorry if there's already been a post like this. If there has, please point me towards it. Thanks!

    Take a shower before you go to the SC.

    Bring some breath mints or some gum with you. (If gum, try to keep from smacking away.)

    Don't ask a dancer, "Is that your real name?"

    Don't ask the dancer if she's married or has a SO.

    Don't ask a dancer where she lives, phone number, etc. (in fact best to just keep away from questions which make you sound like a stalker).

    Don't try to ask one dancer for personal information on another.

    Don't get offended and take it personally if you find out later on that wasn't her real name, she doesn't really go to that school, she doesn't really live in that neightborhood and/or she's not really single.

    Don't try to ask a dancer out on a date.

    Don't ask a dancer, "Are those real?"

    Don't ask a dancer, "Is that your real hair color?"

    Don't tell a dancer how pretty her kitty is.

    Try to make an effort to at least make some eye contact with the dancers. (But try not to just stare at a dancer like some kind of psychopath.)

    When turning down a dance, a simple "No thank you" will suffice. (Don't keep telling a dancer "maybe later" when you have no intention of getting a dance from her.)

    If leaving the tip rail in the middle of a set to go sit with or get a dance from another dancer, throw at least a $1 to the girl on stage.

    Don't bad mouth one dancer in front of another.

    Don't bring your wife, girl friend, SO, or another woman into the SC if all she's going to do is give the dancers dirty looks and make rude comments instead of having a good time.

    Only throw a money shower to dancer who's on stage alone.

    In general, don't crinkle or ball up the tip money and throw it on stage. If you are going to ball up your tip, make it worth it for the dancer to unravel (ie: $5, $10, $20, etc.).

    Don't ask the dancers for change. If you're actually going to be cheap and pay $15 for the dance instead of just giving her the $20, than have the exact amount on you.

    Don't expect the dancers to be impressed or hang out with you all night just because you bought the bottle of Cristal or Dom. when you have no intention of getting any dances.

    Respect the idea that she's there working.

    Don't get jealous if a dancer is hanging out with another customer, she's doing her job!

    Understand that the dancer may have to attend to other customers who showed up before you.

    If you would like a dance from a particular dancer, don't be affraid to get off your ass and ask her for one. As long as you're not interupting her time with another customer, you don't have to wait for her to come to you.

    ASK (DO NOT ASSUME) what the club's rules are in terms of contact.

    ASK (DO NOT ASSUME) what the Dancer's rules are in terms of contact.

    If you know you're going to a club with contact dances, wear appropriate clothing. (ie don't wear break-away warm up pants and avoid rough materials like denim or things which will jab like a big ass belt buckle).

    If a dancer does a great job, whether on stage, during a private dance or in a champagne room
    DON'T BE AFFRAID TO TIP MORE.
    If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.

    I don't know if the "tipping is required" thing will go over very well. Some people don't realize the show is NOT for free.

    1. If you sit at the rack, tipping at least $1 per song is required.
    Seems reasonable, however like HK said, it may not go over well with some customers... but, oh well, right? They're not the ones that you want around anyways

    2. Regardless of where you sit, if you're watching the dancers tipping is required.
    or you can require blinders for customers not tipping... you know the ones horses wear when they're pulling carriages.
    j/k

    I think this one should just be left to common courtesy... Eventually the guys should learn that the tippers are the ones that get the attention. Simply give the gawkers the cold shoulder and hopefully they get the message

    3. Customers are not allowed to put songs in the jukebox. If you have a song request, ask a dancer to play it for you. If a dancer chooses to allow you to pick a song or songs, put some money in the jukebox and tip the dancer when she dances to your songs.
    .... there shouldn't even be a jukebox available for some customers

    4. Don't touch the dancers at any point. This can get us fired and/or arrested.
    A swift kick to the baby makers should take care of this problem

    5. Don't talk dirty to us when we're dancing on stage. If that's something you're interested in, buy a table dance and ask the dancer if she's okay with dirty talk.
    sure sure - bouncer enforced of course

    6. Don't BLOW ON OUR GENITALS! It's invasive and most of us can't stand it.


    I still can't believe this actually happens! WTF, right? where did some guys learn that blowing on a woman's genitals gets her off?

    Actually, in the majority of clubs these days, the "rules" for customers boil down to anything they think that they can get away with that won't get them thrown out of the club !

    I hope you mean this list as a joke. It would have all the effectiveness of a "Keep Off The Grass" sign in educating the cheap customers, and would be a good way to getting yourself on the tipping customers bad list, even if you don't give them the flyer.

    Whether they're tipping or not, people generally do not spend money at a club to receive a lecture on how they should behave. Tipping is always recommended and good etiquette, but to make the suggestion that it be "required" is dictating how customers spend their money. I've never seen that be a very effective means of getting people to open their wallets. It's extremely effective in getting them to take their business elsewhere.

    EVERY ONE of those unforunate things happens to me at least ONCE a night!! Damn, verfy. Based on this awesome list of "rules" and your suggestions in the racer girl thread, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were a veteran stripper PRETENDING to be an inoccent onlooker.

    That's the whole point! People (stupid ones) DON'T realize that the show isn't free, and they should. If it drives them out of my club, fine, but I hope the next time they go into a strip club they remember their mistake and remedy it.

    I've heard all of the above from customers, but I once sat with a guy who kept saying, "Yeah, I love these places. It's so great that ya'll do this just for us. I know ya'll enjoy dancing for us or you wouldn't be here." As a joke, I responded, "Your right, it has nothing to do with the money" (seeing as how he never tipped on stage and kept saying one day he would get a dance). Oh, and he didn't get the joke............

    I still can't believe this actually happens! WTF, right? where did some guys learn that blowing on a woman's genitals gets her off?
    I can one up you on this, don't stick out your tounge and make lewd gesters with it when we spread our legs. Why would we want some creepy old man pretending to lick our genetailia AT WORK?? Let alone anywhere else...

    Another one? Don't tell us how turned on we must get from being a stripper. Taking off your clothes in front of your SO IS a turn on, but you have to realize that YOU'RE NOT MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER. I had this one guy insist that I must be turned on all the time. "You're up there touching yourself and sticking your shit in guys' faces..." "it's work, it's what I do." "Yeah, but if I were touching myself and sticking it in YOUR face I would be turned on." *blink* That's 'cause I'm hot, and you want me. I was SO tempted to say something like, 'well what if it was a middle aged man who smelled like fish and beer and had a receeding hairline?'

    Fucking assholes. If I got turned on at work I would be one sick motherfucker.

    Yeah I hate when people are foolish enough to think that stripping turns me on. But I let them believe it as long as they're tipping me.

    And yeah, the obscene tongue thing! There's this guy who comes into one of my clubs, and he both blows on my snatch AND does disgusting things with his tongue. He literally makes me want to puke! I've been trying to avoid him lately, like I wont get very close to him on stage, especially not if I'm naked, and if he starts sticking out his tongue I turn around right away so I don't have to see it. I finally got fed up with him yesterday and had the bartender ask him to stop, and he got pissed and left. Good riddance!

    Right on! I was only rude to the guy because we were having this conversation ON STAGE and he and his friends were assholes. I figure I could lose a dollar or two just so he knew that I considered it my job, not some playground for turning men on.

    But I really don't think you should print these out and hand them to people. You'll lose a lot of clientile that way. If you have to do something maybe post them in the bathroom (which would still make you lose clientile, probably) or go to stripclublist.com and post them on your club (and a couple others) so guys aren't so upset about it.

    Tipping is always recommended and good etiquette, but to make the suggestion that it be "required" is dictating how customers spend their money.
    I should've specified that I was looking for suggestions from other DANCERS, not customers (although, thank you to Verfolgung, who didn't get defensive and had some good ideas).

    At my clubs we make the vast majority of our money on stage, which means it's a big fucking deal if all the customers are sitting there all night watching and not tipping. So what if I'm dictating how customers spend their money? If they don't want to spend their money on strippers, what the hell are they doing in a strip club? A person wouldn't go out to eat in a restaurant if they weren't planning to pay for the food they ate or tip the waitress who provided them with good service (at least I hope not), and you don't go to a movie theater and expect to see the movie for free just because you bought a small popcorn.

    I was making reference to customers in general, not just the "cheap assholes". You also have to remember that they may only be cheap to you, to your club's management, they bought drinks just like any other customer. I'm assuming of course that your club isn't giving away those "ten pitchers of beer" for free.

    I should've specified that I was looking for suggestions from other DANCERS, not customers (although, thank you to Verfolgung, who didn't get defensive and had some good ideas).
    Translation: I’m only looking concurring opinions for cathartic purposes, as I can’t handle any dissenting ones that explain the ugly reality of things. Kind of defeats the purpose of a message board if you‘re going to limit discussion to a certain viewpoint.

    At my clubs we make the vast majority of our money on stage, which means it's a big fucking deal if all the customers are sitting there all night watching and not tipping. So what if I'm dictating how customers spend their money?
    Is this what you’re going to explain to your club’s management, when your actions run customers out of the place not to mention cost them money in drink sales?

    If they don't want to spend their money on strippers, what the hell are they doing in a strip club?
    Every customer has a different reason for going to a club. I can’t explain why the “K-Mart crowd� is there, but if they’re giving you nothing for your hard efforts, then give them nothing back, (at least nothing more than you‘re obliged to give). If that’s too much, then try your hat at a different club. Big spenders tend to stay out of places that are overrun with cheapos anyway.

    A person wouldn't go out to eat in a restaurant if they weren't planning to pay for the food they ate or tip the waitress who provided them with good service (at least I hope not), and you don't go to a movie theater and expect to see the movie for free just because you bought a small popcorn.
    Your analogy is flawed. If I order food at a restauraunt, that’s payment for goods/services rendered, not a tip. I am required to pay for that food. Giving an extra 15% minimum to my waitperson in most cases is an etiquette guideline. There’s a world of difference between that and a “requirement“.

    There’s also a difference between attending a movie/concert/sporting event and going to a strip club. If I go to any of the former, I do not directly tip Tom Cruise, Aerosmith, or Barry Bonds for their entertainment.

    My apoligies Anna for sounding “defensive�, but as someone who does have the courtesy to tip (on his own initative I may add), I don’t like any seller of goods/serivces instructing me how my money should be spent. The only “requirements� I am obliged to pay for are the cover and drink minimums stated at the door. The rest of my expenditures are entirely voluntary. You complain about the customers getting a “free show�. You have to remember that if a door charge or drink minimum was required to get inside your club, to the customer it is not free.

    The customers who are already tipping (and obeying your etiquette guidelines) would find any presentation of your list rather insulting. The ones who don’t probably could care less about them. If you meant this thread as some sort of vent, that’s understandable. If you’re serious about actually doing this, then prepare for your predicament with rude non-tippers to be compounded rather than resolved.

    Not to start a chit storm,but some of you are way off base.
    Once a customer pays the cover charge and buys a beverage,he is just that,a customer.
    The show IS free on stage.(unless you gotta put a quarter into a slot to get the window to open.)

    The show is free,everything else cost.

    I cant tell you how many times girls come up and ask me to toss some guy out because he didnt tip her on stage.Usually its just HER they dont tip because of her attitude,or because she is white,or because she is a blonde,or because she has fake boobs,etc.

    Most of the guys who come into clubs are NOT rich.Just some guy making 25k a year,some less.Maybe he is waiting for a certain girl to come on stage??Maybe he only has the budget for a couple of beers and a lapdance.Who knows?

    Run off the cheap guys and your screwing yourself outta a few bucks that all add up at the end of the night.

    If your just nice to the guy who spends 100 dollars on you and not nice to the guy who only spends 10,your screwing yourself and you need to find another line of work.

    No, the show is not free.

    No, the door charge does not cover the show. Not by any stretch of the imagination-that is unless the club is paying the dancers, which is rare.

    Anyone who thinks it is a free show or thinks it should be is just an asshole.

    If you really want to stop a roomful of guys from tipping,adopt this chics attitude towards the non tippers or the guys who dont tip enough in her book.I feel sorry for the girl who goes up after you have alienated everyone in the room.

    There are ways of gently reminding guys that tipping is the polite thing to do.

    This is one reason that I always use the word "gentlemen" when addressing the crowd, even if it's nothing but gangstas, bikers (not the nice kind, either), illiterate scumbags, and drug-dealing swine in the house--and I have worked in a club where this was often the mix, lol...

    And this is another reason why I refuse to bring up "pussy", "poontang", "muff"--or mention the guys' genitalia either by any means--to keep their behavior as polite and gentlemanly as possible. Because God knows enough of them will turn into jerks in VIP or while trying to tip anyways, they sure don't need me egging them on!

    You remind the guys that the dancers are working for tips and tips alone, and especially if it is a good dancer, you can even say something like 'Jasmine is way too sexy to be dancing for free". If a guy finally gets up there, or better yet has been tipping all along, say "Now here's a gentleman who knows how to treat this sexy lady right!" This may be bad grammer, strictly speaking, but it works very well.

    If there is one guy who has been steadily tipping I will say on the mike that I like this guy and that I am personally buying him a drink--not the bar--but me, and if I have time I will bring it to him myself. Not only does this show the rest by example how good behavior is rewarded, but every single time I have done this the guy winds up spending at least a hundred more!

    If noone is tipping, period, I will send a girl up with my own dollar and make a big fuss over them, mentioning that "she knows how to treat...blah blah". If this doesn't work, they're dead...

    You complain about the customers getting a “free show�. You have to remember that if a door charge or drink minimum was required to get inside your club, to the customer it is not free.
    The girls have to pay several times what any customer does, just to walk in the door, on the assumption and hope that the customers will realize "the show ain't free" and tip accordingly. The door charge does NOT cover the show. It covers the entrance only and as you all know the girls see NOTHING of those cover charges. I do understand very well the point you're trying to make, but when you look at the big picture, the reality is when a customer goes to a strip club and doesn't tip the girls, he very well IS getting a free show. He could pay a cover and drinks at a regular club if that's all he wants to pay for. If he wants nekkid chicks with his drink, he needs to ante up.

    On a similar note to the door charge being SOLELY for entrance, and NOT for the show:

    if a guy wants to JUST pay the entrance, then he should JUST stand in the main foyer. j/k but that'd be a funny rule. I say you expect to pay a buck per set if you're sitting next to the stage, or be "snubbed" by some dancers. (which is okay, if there's only one particular one you're waiting on anyway I guess.)

    Personally, I think guys who don't tip can be a fun challenge. Sometimes I think they want you to come talk to them before they tip you. Once I got 200.00 from a guy who initally seemed like a rude, non-tipper. I just had to turn on the charm.

    how it worked at my old club was that tipping was MANDATORY at stage (at least $1.00 per time the girl danced for you) and if no one was at stage the girl didn't have to get naked. Usually if there was no one at all at stage but a bunch of guys sitting around the girls wouldn't really dance, it would be more like, look at me sit here. I never took that attitude, because if you dance for someone and tease someone from the stage and motion for them to come sit they usually do. Or using the line "I don't get naked if you don't sit up here" will get them sometimes.

    If it was really bad usually a couple of us would get up on stage with the girl or even start a two girl show until guys would come sit. Once they sat down the other girls would leave and the girl would finish her set and keep all the tips.

    I guess this is a little off topic, but if non-tippers are a real problem, I think you should grin and give a good show then go talk to the guys afterwards. If you have no problem making this list and handing it out to them I think a verbal reminder in a nice tone would work more effectively. just explaining that it's hard work and you hate to work for free might encourage them to reward you for your effort, or buy a dance. Don't spend a lot of time with them, just remind them for your sake and the other's that dancers work for "tips and tips alone"

    to Djoser-- it's nice of you to do that for the girls, but has any customer ever gotten embarrased because of the attention? just curious.

    Now dats da attitude!!!!!!

    Heres some other points to ponder.
    The average customer spends between 20-30 dollars per trip to a club.
    Our club has a 12 dollar cover.
    Its seven dollars for a bud,5 for a coke.
    after the tip to the bartender or waitress,he just spent 20.
    we live by the 10's and 20's.(the ATM lives by 20's)
    the goal is to get him to spend 100.
    thats cover,a beer,and two to three lapdances and a few bucks tossed on stage.MOST guys cant do that every night.

    The club has already gotten its cut by him walking in and getting a drink,the rest is up to the entertainer and her hospitality skills which will determine if he is a 20 dollar customer or a 100 dollar customer.He can leave after the first drink and it wont hurt the club at all,they already come out on top.If he stays and gets lapdances,the girls make money (and so does the club)

    My point is,this industry isnt set up to make the entertainer money,its set up to make the owners money.(im not one)
    In a lapdance club,time on stage is just a 6-10 min showcase for the entertainer,then she makes her money in the lapdance room or at the table.

    If the entertainer wants to make money,she needs to come to work with her A game,and have the same attitude as she does because the cards are stacked against them.

    Most guys cant afford to spend 100 dollars on a monday night or a tuesday night or a wed night,etc.
