    As per stage tips... it is regularly announced by the DJ "Hey guys! Its $1 per song, we do 2 songs which equals $2!!" If guys dont tip on stage all we do is glance at a bouncer and he will walk over and explain again... since the guy (usually young and cheap or enthralled with the girl) didnt seem to understand (hear) the DJ. It rarely a problem... some girls will tell the guys its a $2 min to sit at the TIP RAIL (stage) when the collect their money if the guy didnt tip right. Ive only seen once where a guy said she wasnt worth $2 and was hauled out of the club. They are very strict on rules at my club... very fair to girls, and always take care of us. Only time the management gets on girls about overcharging in VIP is on $10 dance days... we cannot overcharge.. but any other day we can. I dont. VIP is $20/song 2 dance minimum. When a guy says its too expensive I say ok, I'll do 3 for $50... he will say OK! And when Im done he hands me $60... I say "would you like change?" (with a sweet smile) 9 times outta 10 he says no. OK, so, some guy who thought 2 $40 for 2 dances was too much, thought he was getting a deal.. tipped me $10... so I ended up getting 3 $20 dances outta someone who was unsure about 2!

    Asking for tips after a dance is another thing.. I rarely do it.. if I do its in a joking way or usually with change.. like he owes me $80.. hands me $100 I ask if he would like change and usually he says no... very rarely is he so cheap he says yes.

    Another thing that bothers me is the "Lets Make A Deal" mentality... And I say exactly this when guys are trying to make deals... I'll jokingly say "What is this "Lets Make A Deal?!" or "Where are we? Denios?" (local flea market/auction) These both always get a good laugh and I then will do the whole "I dont usually do this but how about 3/$50?" And end up with the $60. There are all kinda of tricks to getting extra cash without saying "And my tip please"

    Dancerwealth, this sounds like many of the techniques that I use. Only I work with Magick and Psychic ability/ aura reading.. There are many subtle ways to get a customer to do what you want them to do

    On stage I've learned to use pole tricks to make better tips!!! Lol that rhymes!!! Anyways I'll do a spin or a basic pole trick to grab their attention, give them a smile , lean in close and say...."now do you want to see something really amazing??" Then, I'll climb to the top of the pole and do a more difficult trick, like hang upside down and take off my top..... by the time I get back downthe customers usually staring on awe with a handful os singles for the taking. I also use fire when its really busy, and this gets people clapping and shouting and literally throwing singles!! I take a pack of matches with me onstage, split one in half and stick it to my breast or hip, and light it with another one!! I usually get tipped a $20 by someone using this trick.......
    On the floor I don't ask for tips however I do slip in in the conversation.......If they ask how muck for a lapdance my usual response is $20 plus tip. By the end of the dance they ususally include a fiver. If i go to the vip/champagne rooms I usually say the same, then you don't have to tip the VIP host out of your own pocket.

    Cool Vegas. Where did you learn to blow fire? I've been trying to learn how..but havne't really found anyone to teach me. How long have you been learning the technique?

    This sounds like the "tip walk" prevelent only in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area. I don't know if the tip walk is a mangement problem, dancer problem or customer problem, but along with extremely restrictive laws in my opinion Milwaukee is a market that
    SHOULD HAVE NO STRIP CLUBS WITHIN THE CITY, and perhaps the county. I note one of the better clubs in Milwaukee (Silk) is opening Silk II in the more dynamic center part of the state near (but not in) Madison. I bet they won't have the tip walk where dancers ask for tips from each customer.

    Here guys spend their major amount of cash on the dances, and it goes like this after I've of course asked this in my eyes wonderful guy if he wants another Rhiannon Ride. " How much" He says.. I reply with, " It's forty dollars" of course he knows all of this as I'm cuddling with him on the sofa.. and I add on sweetly.. " I'm going to leave the tip up to you, if you do thats fine, if not thats okay too." It puts the tippage on his shoulders and doesn't make you sound like a beggar.

    I'm not sure how many clubs have the $2 bills but they are like candy down here.... a girlfriend of mine always pretend to be so excited when the waitress gives the custy their change, not only does this give them something to talk about for a few minutes, plus men hate the $2 bills because then everyone knows where they have been but I swear guys get all excited about giving her all the $2 bills they have when she goes on stage.... they add up quick.... she calles it her "$2 jackpot"

    If I can put in a custy POV: tips in this country are for 2 purposes...1st, they are because someone provided excellent service, usually above and beyond what was expected. 2nd, they started out as the extra pay for employees in a job that pays very little hourly wage...waitresses get a few dollars per hour so tips are a major source of income for them...a custy in an SC views the LD fee as your major source of income and it is a very high hourly wage ($20/ 3 minutes) adds up to a shitload of money for the hour (theoretically) so custy's don't like to tip b/c they've already given a lot for a little.

    I understand that line of thinking, and I certainly don't expect tips. But I still tip my massage therapist, who works for herself and gets the $65/hr fee, because I appreciate her work, and it's nice when I feel that a customer shows that he appreciated mine above and beyond the base price.

    Any custy who thinks that 3 minute dance is "a little" for his "lot" of money, should try doing it sometime. Yeah yeah, it looks easy from the outside - because we make it LOOK easy.

    That $20/3 minute dance doesn't figure into an hourly wage or profit. We don't sell those dances contstantly - it's physically impossible. We have to pay alot of that to club and staff. We can't work regular 40hr workweeks - burnout, scheduling, exhaustion, etc.

    I get so sick of hearing customers say we don't deserve tips based on some bullshit theory of what they THINK we make

    After each and every one of my dances (when I am finished-as in they declined another) I always say thank you. While I am getting dressed I tell them the total by saying... "I need at least such and such amount from you and I have change if you need it."

    The "at least" bit reminds them that they can in fact tip if they would like to (I really think sometimes this just slips their minds)

    Also if someone needs change I always ask "how much would you like back?" Sometimes I get a funny look...but they figure out what I am saying without sounding like a greedy bitch.

    I hope this made sense. Really tired today...

    The times I have worked in a SC, I danced, I stripped, I hustled, made small talk, re-filled their drink, made phone calls for them (hair cut, dentist, doctors, appointments) and so on and so on. Hey, it was a job and I did my job.
    Sometimes I got tipped for doing all these extras, some times I didn't. And pretty soon, I noted who would tip for all these favors and who wouldn't. And to those that tipped me, hey, I went further for them, in terms of dances, favors, etc.
    But then I hear from some of my customers, even then, that was my job, and I should not be getting any extras for just doing my job. Yadada, yadada, yadada.
    Excuse me for even being there. If you truly feel that way, when my dance is up in three minutes, that, buddy, is all you are going to get. Better get a stop watch and be glued to it, because that is it.
    Hey, if I see you and its going to take five more extra steps for me to come see you, you are going to pay for those extra steps.
    I am not asking you for a whole lot, just a little, and look at what just a little gets for you.
    Hey, tipping makes me love you even more and you get a little more in return.
    What is wrong with that?

    I was in a new club once, and after two dances I asked what I owed. She said, "It's 40 honey, and if you don't wanna tip me then I won't hate you." For whatever reason that rubbed me the wrong way and I elected to pay only the 40. (Trust me I am generally a generous tipper, 20% at restaurants, 5 bucks a dance at SCs.)

    As to the general question, I think the DJ should be the one encouraging tips. The line I like from the DJ is "And remember guys, we don't pay these girls you do, so please tip generously." Or something along those lines.

    Yes, sir, I do agree with you, But I've been down that road way way too many times.

    If DJs do that then, they expect a cut. They ain't doing this just out of the goodness of their hearts.

    i don't ask for or expect tips after lap dances because where i work they are very light contact. i figure 10 bucks for a song is a pretty fair price for only light touching, so i don't feel right asking for more. however... my club (bikini) is very stage oriented... and i wish guys would tip more on the stage, but i'm not sure how to get them to. i get up close and personal with them if they come to the stage and i give them a pretty good show, but not many guys tip more than a dollar.

    We usually pool our dollars for tipping and set them on the table as a general tipping fund for everyone in our group, (makes it easier for the cheap fucks we hang with to pry a buck out of their wallet), and if I have to walk up to the stage sometimes I will only bring a buck with me, and sometimes I wish I had brought more and other times I wish I had stayed in my seat.

    I worked at a nude club where you had to ask for tips in vip or you'd walk out broke.
    I asked for tips like this.
    100 and I'll touch you (meaning I'd grind on them)
    200 you can touch me (my thighs or back)
    300 and it'll get really crazy. (never did)

    Yeouch......cheap tippers are no fun. I mean.......why come to a club if you're broke???? Rent a porn. Better yet make one!
    Anyways. It's hard to ask for a tip. But, you DO deserve one! And so, make suggestions like neve's for whatever you're comfy with. The girls here have polaroids that they sell, the guy gets to take the pic and keep it for like 10-15$$ which isn't bad for a pic. Except here we have the infamous loonie toss.... -_-;;;; which is where most of the girls make their tips. Pretty good ones too if you don't mind some perv's loonie flying at your twinkie.
