    Default Don't like reg. custys?

    Why?
    What's the main reason some Entertainers don't like a regular customer?
    Is it because of a bad experience with one or maybe the old saying is true.Not to be rude but familiarity breads contempt?I know alot of the girls hear love their regulars.
    What makes you not love them?

    I'd like to get some idea of what not to do,lol.I like having someone i can trust at the SC.Who i know will be a fun time.Besides,it's tough to find a regular entertainer and keep her.They're time at the club is short lived so often.

    They are too much damn work. Regulars tend to think that they are way more generous than they actually are, and are way more demanding than one-offs. I understand it - to them, x amount is, likely, a very large part of their disposable income. But to us it IS our income. So it seems like a lot more to the customer than it does to us. Well, to me. In effort vrs. pay per hour the regular is seldom worth as much.

    And the regular inevitably eventually wants to change things. Spend less money for more time, more contact, whatever. I understand that too, but for me it is incredibly tiresome.

    The only girl I knew who didn't care for regular customers was one who would promise potential customers things she wasn't willing to back up (dates, extras, a phone number, her real name) in exchange for dances. They'd come back and call her on it. You'd see her sitting with a guy or girl who came in the previous week with an uncomfortable look on her face. Hopefully she's learned her lesson by now.

    I can think of tons of other reasons why girls wouldn't like regs. Personal preference, bad past experiences etc. We all like to do business our own way. But that's the only one i've personally seen.

    I agree with Jenny, it is great to have a pretty steady income from a regular, but when you're earning /less/ because of the regular, it is easy to see why girls get tired of them.
    There is a girl at my club who easily spends an hour or two per regular [and she has quite a few] just to get one dance or a few drinks [we have a drink hustle] - she regularly stays late to break $100.
    Another girl has a lot of regulars and makes roughly $500 [without staying late]. She talks to them all the time on her phone, however, so she does use some of her time for them.

    I think it all depends on how you handle your regulars. I'm thinking about switching to emailing more so that club time is more focused on the physical rather than the conversational - unless they'd like that conversation in one of the rooms.

    Regulars. Huh.

    I used to love them, but that was when I used to work the day shifts at my club when the more ''normal'' punters came through the doors. Now I work the late shift, I lost my lovely day regulars and have got nightmare regulars instead and they are increasingly becoming a major pain in the buttocks. I shouldn't really complain because my income has not changed because of it (not yet, anyway), but the thing that I dislike is the way some of them now talk to me. They feel they have a right to know your private life and the consistent asking out on dates or to bed is really bugging the heck outta me.

    I know one of the top rules is to never break the fantasy unless you want to break your income, but my tolerance is hitting rock bottom and I often find myself telling them things that I hope will put them off (even if they're all lies). I think tonight I successfully pissed off one of my regs, but I just hope he won't be badgering me too much in future if he chooses to stick around.

    I heart my regulars. But I work the days mostly and I don't give guys who are creepy the time of day, even if they have cash, so they are all normal guys. And, I make sure that the relationship is very clear - the less money they spend the less attention I give, it's worked out so far. Also I don't do any OTC activities and even phone calls from me are very rare.

    I don't like regulars because they tend to spend less and less the more they come in and they want more out of you,down the road.Regular customers get fixated on you oftentimes.I prefer customers that come into town for a just a few days and spend wads and never see them again.

    I like good customers, period. If a customer is too high-maintenence, whether he's a regular or not, I'm not going to spend time with him. However, there are great regulars who come in, get their dances, maybe chat a little, and leave, without increasing expectations. I think we all love those guys. The problem is that frequently regulars become problem customers for some dancers. But I can think of two regs I had in Austin who always brought a smile to my face every time I saw them.

    So basically, the question isn't whether or not we like regulars--it's whether or not we like putting up with customers who want too much in return for their money. It's true in relation to both a one-time mileage hound or a regular who wants us to talk for an hour for one $20 dance.

    I adore my personal regulars. If they start becoming pals and the cash dwindles, then they arent regulars to me anymore. They become just friends. *shrugs*

    Now, CLUB regulars can sometimes bug me. The ones that think that just because they spend more time there than the managers, that it's now Cheers With Tits and they dont need to tip anyone.

    regulars tend to get too pushy for OTC action, in my experience. And when they finally "get it" (that a girl is a dancer, and isn't going to be their personal love slave), the money dwindles or stops all together.

    Not all regs are like this - just most.

    I love my reggies!!!

    I have one that continues to send checks to my PO box....
    I only have to see him 2 days a month when I'm in a club in his area.

    cake walk.

    although when I see him he all like "I LOVE YOU" (shudder)
    it's pretty fuckin' wierd.
    I just say "it's nice to have a friend like you"
    but, he's in outer space man.

    That's my only problem with them.

    My favorites are the ones who come in, exchange nice/light conversation, buy the dances and get out. Not many of those around. It's not that I don't care about my customers. I do. It just gets too weird when people add in drama when there's an exchange of money. I'll be your psych for an hour. But, I can't be your mother, kid, sister, girlfriend, wife, etc. What makes me not like a regular is when it stops being fun, and starts being more than work.

    This one goes both ways. Somewhere in the relationship one of them becomes a parasite... get off ... get off.

    The customer may demand more or more time for less and less money. On the flip, some dancers will take the customer for an automatic check when in fact, the customer is looking for some new talent and would like the regular dancer to disappear.

    The less and less money may be a hint that that particular wallet is empty for you. But it is a situation by situation on what is happening. However, the result is the same... MoveON. The dancer has to have enough guts to tell the customer she has to make some money, and the customer has to say, " Not tonight".

    My problem with regulars seems to be the popular reason, the money starts out good then it just seems to get less and less. Plus, I get bored of the same conversation over and over. It's hard to keep personal stuff secret when there is nothing else to talk about. Give me out of towners anyday. It seems I've turned my regulars into drink buyers. There was one who would come in every monday and buy me a drink and 2 dances. This guy didn't really know what deodarant was so I started dreading mondays and wouldn't go in. I guess he figured it out 'cause he stopped coming all together. Plus, he started trying to hook me up with his "girlfriends" so he could watch. Creep.

    We need to have formal no-fault former ATF agreements drafted which will terminate the ATF relationship with no-fault on any parties and no post alimony or extras required...

    Some one please shoot me....

    I, the custy, without admitting being cheaper or demanding more extras do hereby declare that my relationship with my ATF (stripper) is terminated without animosity or angst. I will not bad mouth her to other strippers, nor shall I stalk her or utter her name when I prematurely fire my load on another new ATF.

    I, the stripper, without admitting I have become boring, talk about my busted transmission, cretin husband/boyfriend, various diseases, or other things that make a penis go flacid, do hereby agree to not approach said custy in the future or tell other dancers how cheap or what a hair trigger he has.

    I love most of my regulars but I‘ve had to dump a few due to them shall we say.. “getting too comfortable“. A couple became possessive and wanted to much personal info/ time. I even had one guy get jealous bc I was dancing for someone else… wako!

    Oh, gosh. Funny story - I had a short lived regular who insisted - and I mean INSISTED - that I liked him, and I would eventually go out with him. Now I told him flat out "no." And he said that when I got to know him I would like him and date him and have babies and such. I said that the likelihood was slim to none. He asked if I had a boyfriend. I said (and I quote myself): "I DON'T have a boyfriend. I just don't want you." THAT did not phase him. At all. So you're thinking that I should ditch the guy (and I did). He also did trippy things like call other dancers at other clubs and would say "Well, maybe I'll be in later. I'll have to see what's going on HERE" (significant look at me). And then he would try to make me listen in to the other girl asking him to come to her club. I have zero patience for this. I mean, I'll still take his money, but I will tell him that he is deranged while I take it. When he came in one day, called me over and acted pouty. I asked him what was up and he say "Who is that guy you left with yesterday?" and I said "Are you crazy?"
    "Who did you leave with yesterday?"
    "What are you talking about? I leave alone every day."
    "You were sitting by the door, a guy came in and then you left" (and now the light dawns)
    "Are you talking about the taxi driver?" (I don't want to dehumanize cab drivers, but I don't think of them as guys I'm leaving with. I think that counts as leaving alone, right? And the taxi driver was old, and just... obviously not a guy I was "leaving" with) "Okay, that was my cab driver. This has got to stop." And I walked away, and wouldn't walk back.

    Jenny, that is hilarious! Where do these guys come from anyway?

    In all honesty, I've had mostly great experiences with regulars. I’m beginning to wonder if the clubs (type of client) has something to do with the different types of behavior.

    In my club, most of the guys understand we are there to work. In all the years, I‘ve only ever had one guy try to dwindle the amount spent = he was cut of immediately.

    In conclusion, I would say many girls aren’t cutout for regular customers and many (cheap) customers just want to see how far they can ride a dancer for a$ little a$ possible.

    I never had regulars until I began dancing day shift. My customers don't tend to fall in love with me anyway, obviously I don't have the "troubled lil girl who needs to be saved" personality.

    Some are good for 2-3 sessions, then they dissapear or start going with another girl.

    Others I see once a month or so for a couple of dances.

    My current fave regular, I hang with, have great convo, dance for him when I want, he never says no, and we tab out at the end of the day, since I go away to dance for others and come back.

    But I usually will take every penny from a customer I meet ASAP, who knows if they are coming back. Being a stone cold hustler is not conducive to maintaing regulars.

    I love to hustle too. I will come up to every single guy in a row until someone bites. I could care less what the other customers think. Yes, you ARE a number, as am I. If you like what you see, let's chill, if not, the next trick will......

    I make no more $$ having regulars compared to hustling strangers. Its been proven.

    Exactly! There are cool regulars and then there are annoying regulars. The cool regulars come in, spend money, are fun to talk to, and most importantly, know what strip clubs are about and don't try to find a girlfriend or a fuck toy there. Then there are the annoying regulars, who spend a lot of money at first, but gradually spend less and less and become more and more demanding. If you won't fuck them or be their girlfriend, then they won't spend any money on you.

    I had this really annoying regular about a year ago-I wasn't even trying to get him to be my regular, it just sort of happened. He was never in a good mood-he was always bitching and complaining about something. Whenever I'd ask him how his day was going, he would always have something to complain about, no matter how minor. He gave me his phone number and said "I expect you to give me a call," and I didn't call him at first, because I hate it when guys are all demanding like that. I finally called him a month later to be nice, because he kept coming into the club and asking me to call him. Then I wished that I hadn't called him, because then he had my phone number and called me all the time, and he got upset if I didn't call him back right away.

    One time he yelled at the bartender and the DJ because I was not at work right away when the club opened. My boss told me I could come in a couple of hours late because I was working a bunch of days in a row.

    Then he turned kinda psycho and told people at the club that we were engaged, even though we had never even hung out together outside of work. All I did was talk to him on the phone. That kinda freaked me out, so I told him flat out we can see each other at work, but that's it. He got pissy and stopped spending money on me, and now he likes another dancer at work and talks shit about me all the time to her. Oh well, he didn't spend that much money on me in the first place-definitely not enough for it to be worth the hassle.

    Also, this guy bragged about how much money he had all the time, but it turns out he was 48 years old and still living with his mother. Also, he didn't really spend that much on me-once in a while he would get 5 or 10 dances, but he'd usually stop in, buy me one or two drinks, and then get one or two dances and then leave. Sometimes he wouldn't buy dances at all-he would just buy me drinks. So like I said, it definitely wasn't worth the hassle.
