If they refuse in a disgusted way, I normally look at them and say, "Awww, Sweety, I wasn't trying to force anything. I'm just required to ask. It's okay if you don't want one. Because this is about what YOU want. Why don't you give me a smile since the scenery is beautiful, and I'll be out of your way!" If they don't like strippers outside of the club, I normally say "Lucky for us, we're inside the club!" The sell gets frustrating. Try to stay positive and force a smile. I force a smile even if I'm bitching out a customer while twisting his balls off because he tried something that's a no-no. Have you talked to your manager about this? I try to let them know where I'm coming from. I offer to tip them a little extra if they let me slide with table jumping or refusing a drink. Or forewarn them that if a customer get's out of hand, I'm going to try to take care of it without going overboard instead of spending an hour locating management. Or waste my time in any sense. While I appreciate where the club and managers are coming from, my job isn't to make people happy with no money. My job is to smile, move on, and try to give another dance while doing the required stage rotations. When all else fails, "I'm sorry, Sir. I'm not qualified for this discussion." Who can argue with that? Or, "We're not falling inlove, are we? Bummer. Well, I have to go find my soul-mate. It was nice meeting you."
