    ^ Oh I hear you and the best part is several of those guys will then turn around and ask for dates or sex .

    What the hell is with that ?!? Not good enough for a dollar tip but good enough to want to date or screw. Yeah, that is just so logical

    I think the worst is when their "offer" is politely decline and they then will call the dancer a bitch or something along those lines.

    That's the thing about that type of assholes. They don't mind paying a club or other males to see girls dancing for them, they only have a problem when it comes to paying the girls themselves.

    In my experience, most of the guys who don't tip or buy dances are cheap and/or rude. Lots of strip clubs in Wisconsin have no cover charge and the drinks are inexpensive, so this encourages the cheapos to come in. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "I just came in for a beer," I would be a millionaire. Many strip clubs around here are like hangouts the same way that regular bars are, which I don't like. Guys are more interested in coming in and playing pool or talking with their friends than spending money on the dancers.

    I would say that revenge is the #2 reason for not tipping and ignorance/having never been to a strip club before is the #3 reason, and being just plain cheap and/or rude is #1.

    I think most non tippers are rude or cheap but also think alot of them do it as payback for getting rejected by women and a VERY few are just ignorant.

    I think it's a mix of cheap, rude, and ignorance. I mostly hate the guys who come in and stare at me, and blab my eat out just to tell me, "Oh I was just leaving, I just came for a few drinks, or I just wanted to enjoy the view today." all while they are sitting there eating the free buffet.

    Like so many have said before, they are just being cheap and should go to a regular bar. I think some men are women-haters and do it on purpose.

    But if they go to a regular bar they don't get to be cheap and rude on purpose to hot babe after hot babe. I mean how are the going to inflate that fragile ego sitting next to Bubba and Chuck all night

    I chose "Other." Where I work, I think it's just that not all guys are made of money but hey... they still have these testosterone surges that make them end up in a strip club. I totally understand the whole "I'm broke" thing, so I'm always nice. When they do cash in their vacation time or get a bonus, you can be sure they're an easy dance.

    At another club I've worked at, I'd say that it's because most of the clientele was between the ages of 18 and 25 and GOD KNOWS they aren't made of money. But you also have to throw in the "trying to be cool" factor of a 20 year old BOY attempting to impress his friends. Sometimes it seemed like their only reason for being in the club was to get some dancer to slobber all over them for a whole dollar.
    If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.

    You dont have to put up with it. If the under 30 crowd wants a dance from me they have to ask me. I'm not wasting my time on a boy when I could be dancing for and spending time with a man.

    It was the fact that they were the only custys we had in there. Very odd and slow night. I tried my best to stay away from them, they were all already drunk.

    You won't generally see them on SW or SCJ, but it is my impression that a lot of casual or occasional SC customers assume, often implicitly...without much thought, that the dancers are paid employees of the club who only supplement their income with tips, much like waitors and waitresses in a restaurant*. Such customers probably feel that they pay to watch the stage show in the cover/door charge and in the high prices of the drinks. In other words, I suspect that quite a bit of it is ignorance among newbie or infrequent customers.

    *And, for that matter, a lot of people who have never worked in any restaurant have no idea what a large fraction of the income of the wait-staff comes from tips vs hourly wages.

    I know that's right. My bf has never worked in the service industry and actually didn't believe me when I told him waitstaff generally get paid only HALF of minimum wage, and by the time taxes are withheld, they might wind up with something like $1-2/hour for a week's work. (I remember my fabulous $30 weekly checks for a 30hr workweek - kinda hard to live on that ) It still amazes me how many people have no idea that people working for tips really do depend on their tips to pay the bills!

    It took considerable effort to convince the bf I wasn't bsing him

    It was a loooong time ago, but I too was amazed when I first heard it. And I still don't think it is a good or fair system. I travel abroad a lot, and there are lots of countries where there is no (or very little) tipping but the waitstaff in restaurants get paid a decent living wage, and in case anyone might think otherwise, the service is just as good on average as in countries like the US where they depend on tips.

    I think they are just rude, and it gives them some weird ego boost to try and make us feel cheap or weird. Anyway, it might last a whole 2 seconds, and then they are left with their own miserable company.

    I dont know about the other guys in SC but I am kinda nervous to go up to the stage and tip a girl out. Its not that I am a broke ass or a cheap ass and that I am looking to get something for free. Every time we attend the club which is like twice a week, we sit in the VIP section where you need to walk through all the other tables to get to the main stage. So that stops me from tipping. On the other hand I try and tip the girl as she is making her rounds. If I dont see her on the floor or if she is with another customer its sometimes hard to hand the girl the tip. But I try and tip the girl as much as I can when she is working for it. It sucks being shy.

    Although it is extremely rude and very cheap (a dollar- are you fu*king kidding me??) but I also think they are somewhat ignorant because I don't think they realize how rude it is. I mean, we are talking about men here, the majority of the bad things they do stem from pure stupidity. Also, most men have an exaggerated idea of how much money we make (yes it's good money but it's not like it was 5-10 years ago) so they feel like we don't need the money. My personal favorite, which also falls imto this category is the guys that ask for free dances. Just tell them "Do I come to your job and ask for a free Whopper??".

    I definately agree it is a toss up. I think more of it is ignorance, than just being plain rude.

    I picked other because to alot depends on the area. In large cities like NYC the non tippers are a combo of rude and revenge. In mid and small size towns it seems to be more a cheap and ignorance combo.

    The guys who have money (or at least claim to) most often say they don't tip because they feel like it's just throwing money away. They claim that they have no problem spending money, but they'd rather spend it on lap dances or private shows rather than just tricking it off on stage.
