    Default The "that's it?" comment

    I have been dancing more lately and I don't get this comment a lot per se but enough to have taken notice to the sheer ridiculousness of it.

    What I mean is when you are on stage and a customer comes up with a dollar. You do your little dance and he says, "That's it?"

    How do you respond?

    I usually look at them, laugh and say, "Um, you have a dollar! I should have said that first but I was being polite!"

    Another good one is telling them something along the lines of, "You have a dollar. I have my shirt off. Cheeseburger at Mcdonalds, me with my shirt off." (while making gestures on how each might weigh out with your hands as if to tell them they had OTHER options)

    I know I have thought of other things to say in my years of dancing on and off and can't remember them now.

    I know I don't do anything less than most girls at the club either.

    Does this ever happen to anyone after a couch dance too? I don't usually see that there but I would think it might. Most guys tend to ask what they're going to get beforehand in that situation...then again...they have been watching other people tipping me on stage and knew I wasn't passing out hand job coupons for every dollar...heh maybe that's what I'll say next time...

    "Yeah sorry, I had to stop handing out hand job coupons for a buck!"

    I hear that comment all the time. It's an indication that they are cheap. You now know to ignore them for the rest of the night and focus on the real customers.

    Unfortunately, there are no comebacks without making you look mean. And if a big spender overhears an insult you made, he might not want to spend time with you. So, play dumb, giggle, TAKE THE MONEY, and move on.

    I swear, that line always makes me wanna reach down, grab his crotch, then look at him incredulously and say, "that's IT???"

    But I usually do one of two things: either toss his pissy lil $1 back in his face and roll my eyes as I move on down the line (making sure everyone nearby sees), or hold that $1 between my face and his and say, "THAT's it?" I don't care if I'm being mean or not. They deserve it. The real customers look at those guys and call them "asshole" while they're spending money on me.

    Default Re: The "that's it?" comment

    I published this in an Oregon Stripper magazine called SFX:

    Is that all I get??
    I will occasionally hear this comment from the customers at the strip club who are holding up that $1 bill -as if it was his life savings- for me as I am completely nude and fully spread in front of him. Let me just outline what that $1 tip just bought you;


    For a brief look into my world we start when I first get out of bed. Usually around noon or 1pm as I didn’t go to bed until 6am that morning. I roll out of bed have some coffee and a low fat low carb breakfast. Then I head for the gym for my hour a day there. Then to the tanning salon, the bank, the grocery store and any other errands I might need to accomplish today.

    After I get back home (at around 4pm), I try to get some household chores done and start getting ready for work at around 5pm.

    Hop in the shower, shave everything, facial scrubs, expensive shampoos, skin conditioners, and last thing is body splash of fragrance before hopping out to dry off.

    Now the real work of getting ready begins. Let’s start at the top;
    1. Add styling product to hair
    2. Apply facial astringent
    3. apply facial moisturizer
    4. Brush floss and whiten teeth
    5. Apply scented lotion to rest of body
    6. Apply deodorant
    7. Apply special lotion to knees, elbows, and feet
    8. Apply anti razor burn cream to bikini area
    9. Dry hair and style
    10. Apply a pound and a half of makeup
    11. Get dressed

    Of course this list leaves out all the other things that go along with being a dancer, Like manicures, pedicures, hair coloring, cuts, and treatments. Facials, body polishing treatments and self tanning treatments. Then there is plastic surgery, laser skin resurfacing and regular dermatologist visits. Hiring personal trainers, body guards, and tax accountants. Some dancers have a special phone just to give out their number to customers. Same with email. Many dancers have to watch their diet closely (unless they were blessed with a high metabolism). We pay all of our own medical bills, twice the taxes of an employee of the same income, and (if we can afford it) disability insurance in case we break an ankle in our 7” heels. (nope, no such thing as workman’s Comp for dancers, we’re on our own).

    No pensions, no 401K, no stock options, no retirement plan, no paid vacation, no paid sick leave, no major medical/dental plans, and no cost of living raises- hell, no paycheck!

    AHHH, but I digress…

    Now I must get together items I will be needing over the course of my shift. Keep in mind that I will have to repeat step 9, 10 and 11 throughout the course of my shift, so I include all of my makeup and hair styling products. I pack a suitcase of about 15 different outfits and about 3 pairs of shoes.

    I throw all of this in my car and drive away at about 7pm swearing under my breath because I am actually late if I want to start work by 8pm. I really should leave my house closer to 6:30pm to be ready to hit the stage by 8pm.

    I arrive at the club at 7:50pm and run into the dressing room. I unpack my suitcase into my locker. I’m naked in 4 seconds flat and hopping around on one foot while trying to strap a 7” stiletto to the other foot. Yes I always put on my shoes first at work, I’m not real sure why, but that is my routine.
    I start to look for a suitably slutty outfit. Nope, that one won’t work, still too wrinkled from the drive over, ahhh, here is one that is so tight the wrinkles will be smoothed by my curves after I pour myself into it.

    I glance up at the clock and see that it is 7:59. Oh NO!! I run to get checked in with the DJ to avoid having to pay a late fine. Whew, made it. DJ says to me that I’m up in 22 seconds and I start crossing the room to get to the stage. Some song I never heard before is playing, and I’m attempting to look sexy and stylish and polished. I feel off rhythm, so I climb the pole to try and dazzle them with my strength and prowess.

    I look over the crowd with a brilliant smile and notice that most of the people in the bar are involved in conversations or watching TV. One guy is balancing his checkbook, another is making short work of a double cheeseburger. I get the feeling that I am merely ambiance, and not the reason for the patronage of the establishment.

    Then I see him. The smiling man approaching my stage, and he looks very happy to be here. The nude dancers enamor him, and he reaches into his wallet and retrieves one dollar. He lays it on the rack in front of him. I approach him seductively. I shimmy and gyrate. I show him everything that God gave me, and retrieve the dollar that he had left in tribute to my performance. His smile fades as I take the dollar. I notice his brow is forming a frown and he say “What, that’s all I get?”

    I look back at him and say, “You know, I was thinking the exact same thing!”

    wow
    this gets me angry. I mean after reading Paris' post I only understand more.

    I won't even approach the dancer unless I'm tipping 5 dollars, not that its a minimum, but christ, c'mon A DOLLAR. Oh well, I wont get into it.

    Its gotta be insulting. When a guy does that. Holy crap. I mean tipping a dollar is fine, but when you question it? Whatever. I don't care what I am tipping, never question the dancer, if you didn't like it, don't spend more money.

    Like there is a 14 day no questions asked return policy on this shit.
    People are not ruled by their memories.

    a note on giving the dollar back (sometimes we all want to do this)

    I saw a girl do this once and I've been waiting to try it.

    *tear up dollar*
    "I don't want this, but I don't want you to have it either"

    and Paris, I enjoyed reading your article. Can I post it on my local craigslist?

    LOL Emily! I will soooo do that next time! I won't bother with the line, just tear it up and throw it back in his face. So much better than just letting him have it back. Waste my time, waste your money

    Paris, I know how it goes, I live in the Portland area, haven't stripped yet because of the comments I've heard about the lousy tips that some of the guys leave around here!!! Its crazy!!! I don't understand some of the guys in my school who say that they go to strip clubs almost every other day, yet they don't have the money to pay for the dances, every time I've gone to one around here to ask for advice, I have tried to tip well, since I know how hard it is to get a good job around here!!!! Some men are just plain stupid!!!!!

    I applauded a girl at a club I was working at who did this one time. Some frat brat approached the stage, proudly displaying a $1 bill in his teeth. The dancer had been busting her ass, working the stage, collecting tips, and she comes to this guy. She dances in front of him, smacks her ass, blah blah, then reaches for the one dollar bill with her hand. The guy whips his head back and bites down on the bill (thinking that, "surely, this is the way to get her to take it from my mouth with hers!")

    She looks at him, smiles sweetly, the RIPS the dollar out of his mouth, tears it up, throws it back at him, and continues working the rest of the crowd. (smiling the whole time)

    It was so awesome. I told her she was my idol.
    LOL.

    The funny thing is its comical when some guy gets pissy because he doesnt get any attention for his 1's and the guys who tip big get more. I also tend to give attention to my regulars or guys who buy privates from me even if they dont tip me on the next set.

    I generally do not give each customer a dance for their tips on stage. When we're up there, we're ALREADY DANCING! I will either tell them that if they really need that dollar, they can have it. Or, if they have a good attitude, I will pull this line: "Oh, I'm sorry, you must be lost. Bargain Basement Bimbos is down the street!" That line is also fun to say when someone complains about pricing or clean(er) dances on the main floor.

    those guys are a dime a dozen though. It gets really annoying. Like they expect something special for a dollar. LOL Its always good to turn around and accidently put their drink in their lap with your heels though. LOL

    I've really never had anyone say that to me on stage before. I don't do much dancing, either. I figure I'll save the better stuff for VIP.

    c'mon...it's like they don't realize they just bitched about giving us .50 a boob. Next time I'll say " I guess you could have had a snickers bar instead of my tits in your face. Cruel Cruel world."
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing

    Used to be cordial, and used to say "thank you", yeah that was before I got rolled over by a steam shovel, huffing and puffing. Now, I just take the money and say nothing.
    Some time later, the "benefactor" comes and says "What about it?" I say, "Yes,sir, what about it?"
