I suppose its not unreasonable under certain circumstances for a consumer to wonder why a particular good or service costs what it does (I had this experience at the movie theatre yesterday), and the best way to find out why that is, is to see where the money goes.
When a guy perhaps has a particular favorite dancer, he'd probably like to have her keep as much of the private dance money as possible. If I like a particular gal and want her to remember me next time I visit, and I know that the house is taking 25-50% percent of the standard dance fee, I'll give consideration to throwing an extra $5 or $10 on top.
And of course, with respect to this particular industry which has all sorts of clever ways of ripping off both patrons and dancers (obscene ATM fees, double charges on credit cards, funny money, cut songs, dancer drinks, shall I continue...), its smart in my mind for a stripper affectionado to learn how things work behind the scenes to protect himself/herself from getting scammed. And every club is a new lesson to learn.
But yes, in the end its the final tally that ultimately matters. Most dances here are $20, but one club has them for $25 (roughly the same mileage) and that club just happens to have the best looking dancers in town. Some nights I feel like going there and coughing up the extra five bucks, some nights I don't. I will say this though, the higher a dance costs, the less likely that I am going to throw in additional money, and vice versa.
