    Default when to pay for lap dances?

    Hey girls,

    I was wondering what your personal policy is on getting paid for dances. I've heard most of the girls here say to get paid before the dance so that if there's a problem he can't refuse to pay you. However, I'm not sure of a simple and elegant way to go about this. How do you work requesting the $$$ into the whole "stripper fantasy"? What about if you do more than one consecutive dance, do you stop after the first dance to be paid for the second, or just keep going til the end and then get the money?

    I realize different clubs may have different policies on this, I'm just curious as to what seems to be the best way to do it. Thanks!

    It isn't just differenent clubs with different policies... it also depends on the "strip club culture" of the place you are working.

    For instance, here in Australia it is taken for granted that you will request your $$ up-front. It is just the way things work here.

    Therefore, there is no question about this in Australia.

    Like I said.. it all depends on the culture in the area you work.

    At my club, you are supposed to collect after each dance. They get pretty anal about it too. I guess they've had a lot of girls complain that guys run out of money.

    Noelle, I wouldn't worry about ruining the "fantasy" in asking for the money up front. I think this is a good policy which not enough dancers try to do.

    In general no matter what the club's rules are, you shouldn't be affraid to establish your own boundries and express them to your customers.

    You don't have to be confrontational, and you can still be honest, polite, and sweet while you let a customer know your rules. Usually guys will understand and if they ask why, just let them know that it's not about them, but that other jerks have ripped you off in the past.

    I think that as long as you get one song paid for up front, you shouldn't have to worry too much about additional songs.

    Also, once a guy becomes a trusted regular than you may not always have to collect the money up front.

    My other comment would be the bigger the ticket item the more important you get paid up front - especially if you've never danced for the customer before. In other words, you might choose not to collect up front money on $20 private dances, but you should try to get paid up front for things like champagne rooms or VIPs. Then if anything happens you can grab your money and run. Just a thought.

    Noelle, we've had some good arguments on this subject before. Here's one link that I could find.

    http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/ind...cer/t8833.html

    As far as asking for the money up front, there seems to be some differences in culture depending upon the part of the country. Having the customer pay up front seems more common along the coasts. Here in the midwest the customers generally pony up the entire tab at the end, whether it be two dances or ten.

    Another thing to check would be the club's "official" policy. If your club takes a cut of each dance sale, they are more likely to enforce a prepay policy. If you just pay a flat fee to work, they'll probably leave that to your discretion. The sad thing is that with the number of sharks and stiffers there are in clubs today, dancers have good reason to ask for the money upfront, and customers have good reason to refuse upfront payment.

    Either way, dancers are kind of in a Catch 22. Leave a customer on his honor who ends up stiffing you, and you don't get paid for your work. Make a customer with money pay upfront and you may not make a sale, or at least not as many as you could have. A number of customers will also put dancers who make them prepay on their "never again" list, esspecially if the dance they get doesn't quite meet their expectations.

    I've personally seen gals whom I knew were working in a prepay situation let me pay at the end, or collected intermittently (like after every 3 dances). They apparently thought the potential risk of getting stiffed was worth the reward of getting deeper into my wallet.

    I've noticed if you wait to ask for your money after a dance you lose control over the sale. You have to sell again. Thats bullshit. Guys will control your time if they think they can drag out giving you the money. They want to be near you as long as possible for their money...
