    Default Rants

    Just a few quick rants from recent visits:

    -I absolutely hate it when clubs play the "Reserved" table game, you know the one, you show up at the club, it's fairly empty yet all of the good tables have the "Reserved" signs on them. Interesting how they all of the sudden can become available when you offer the bouncer a few bucks isn't it? It just seems to me that that's what I paid the cover charge for.

    -Or how about Valet parking where the club will block off I good portion of their parking lot for the Valet service making it almost a necessity that you use the valet when visiting the club, I hate that, I can park my own damn car thank you very much.

    -Bathroom attendants who give attitudes when you don't tip them for using the paper towel they give you (I guess you shouldn't have hi-jacked all the other paper towels then should you).

    -I also hate the rude door girls who expect a tip for collecting my cover charge, exactly what service are they providing me? At least show some skin and some personality if you are wanting a tip.

    LOL, I think I need a SC break (or least I need to start making less peak hour/day visits).

    Anyone want to add some rants?

    Good one, I haven't really experienced the other ones that you mentioned though.

    Interesting that you mention tips, Richard. It's one of the more confusing concepts of living here in America - who do you tip, and how much?

    In the UK we do tip for good service, for example quick delivery of meals or something out of the ordinary, but it's strictly voluntary. The sheer scope of people that require an "obligatory" tip here is remarkable.

    RH: Lol, Yeah, maybe you need a break. I hate all of those things but not enough to post about any of them. If a club goes too far over the line in the customer abuse department I just don't go there.

    Neville: As far as tipping goes in the US everybody expects a tip nowadays-even if they don't deserve one. Last week I was in a pizza joint where I know the owner-who was the only one working at the time-and HE had a tip jar out for himself.

    But I digress....In SC's most employees are working for tips. Again, this doesn't mean they deserve a tip for taking your cover charge or your champagne room fee or for handing you a paper towel and offering a squirt of Lovan Musk or Polo but they aren't getting payed by the club . You have been put in a position where, like it or not, if you don't tip them they starve. Guilt plays a huge role in SC tipping if you let it. I don't. I tip the door girl at The Foxy Lady in Brockton because she's cute. I don't tip the door guy at the Foxy Lady in Providence because well...he's a guy....I tip bartenders and waitresses generously because they are the ones who are actualy providing a service to me. I tip the Champagne room guy or gal at Club Fantasies because they will forget that the timer has gone off and give me an extra five or ten minutes in the room. That's about it. I sometimes tip dancers (like when they spend an extra five or ten minutes in the Champagne room with me) but not all the time. They are making $20 for 3 minutes work and, though it's a very tough job, that's very good money. Many dancers will dissagree with me and that's fine, I would too if I where them. One thing I absolutely refuse to do is buy a dance from a woman who quotes me "X" amount of dollars "Plus Tip" for a dance. See Ya!

    I hate toilet trolls...man that is annoying. Effectively, because I hate tipping for things that shouldn't require a tip, I end up just walking out of the bathroom when they're there and just not washing my hands. I'm not gonna give this guy a tip for handing me a towel and a mint. Christ, it's not even the money, it's only a buck, it's the principle. I just refuse to be MADE to tip for a non-service. What'd I pay cover for?

    And I also hate tip jars of ANY kind. The example above is the tip jar by the girl who takes cover. Why should I tip her? Because she made proper change for my sawbuck? Ditto tip jars at places like ice cream shops, take out pizza/chinese, etc. I'm supposed to tip you for sliding my food across the counter and making change? Fuck that.

    Man, and while I'm ranting, I HATE HATE HATE valet parking. When it's not required, they take up all the good spaces, and sometimes you HAVE to use it. I don't want someone else in my car, dammit! I don't know what they might do in there. They could go thru your stuff, scratch it, whatever. If I don't know you, I don't want you driving my car. Yeesh.

    Tip jars are friggin' tacky and obnoxious. I refuse out of principle.

    And I'm with Mr. Hyde on valet parking. I hate other people driving my car.

    sure, a sc is like going to vegas. everyone is going their hand out in a sc, but you don't have to give it to them. it's all about returning the favor for me. so, i grease the palms of the people who can actually do things for me. so, i'll tip my favorite waitresses (mine are worth their weight in gold) because they bring me drinks, know when and when not to disturb me and if i'm looking for a big-titted, BBBJTC performing blond stripper. well, they can get that for me too. i'll tip bouncers/managers because they can smooth out any potential problems and look the other way. i'll tip strippers, but only those strippers who know how to get very nasty.

    All good points thus far. I used to more motivated by guilt, but not any more! If I'm in a good mood, I'll usually toss a buck to anyone that is friendly, conversant, and just seems happy to have me as a customer. This includes door girls and bathroom attendants. However, if I don't feel like it that day, I don't tip, and don't lose a moment's sleep over it. I strongly agree that anyone providing a real service (like waitresses) should be tipped, generously, unless they totally suck. A happy waitress is worth her weight in gold.

    I also don't use valet parking. To me, this is nothing more than trying to promote the "gentleman's club" image versus the strip club image. Hell, they even have valet parking at shopping malls, and some people actually use it!

    One rant I haven't heard yet is being asked by a waitress if I want to buy a drink for a dancer that is sitting on my lap. Boy, talk about using the guilt trip for maximum benefit! This isn't an issue in Arizona where dancers can't drink (officially), but in other states this happens all the time, and I hate it. If I want to buy a dancer a drink, I'll offer first, but they shouldn't be asking.

    It is interesting though, no matter how annoying some of these things can be, they aren't enough to keep us away! We're like chickens pecking against a feeder bar for another kernel of corn, and we love it!

    Where there's an attendant in the bathroom, isn't he keeping it clean for tips and not for pay from the club? You make it sound like he's only handing you a towel but isn't he really saving you from stepping in puke, slipping in splooge or sitting down in another's ..um.. Hooters meal movement (sorry Doc)? Or are the restrooms filthy where you frequent, even with attendants in place?

    Okay - first, I'd like to clarify that I am not about to say that you have to buy dancers drinks. Personally, unless it's on a commission I would rather have the cash. Even if it is on commission I would rather have the cash. (But, at the same time, I think it is really, really cheap to refuse to buy a drink for a girl that you are test driving - meaning not one that you are just waiting to go away, but one that you are not sure if you want to spend money on yet. It's a drink! It's not like the waitress asked you for your retirement fund.) However - the waitress is not doing anything wrong or bad here. She is selling you something - you know where you are, and you know how the clubs work and make money and all that. And really - the pressure in strip clubs compared to (as I've said) a retail chain is laughable. Businesses try, sometimes aggressively, to sell their crap. That is what makes it a business. The bar wants to sell drinks - lots and lots of drinks, and if they can get you to buy two instead of one they will, and I don't think that you can viably criticize them for it. You may not want to buy the drink - but that is an entirely separate issue.

    If you do have to tip a bloke or door person for whatever it is you're supposed to be tipping him for, how do you do it without looking cheap (ie like you're paying him off). Do you tip him as you're walking through the door and he's waving you through?

    Some of the other ones are obvious (like the toilet bloke or a bartender or a waitress) but what about some of the less obvious ones, like bouncers, door staff, etc. What about the bird that takes your money when you pay? Do you just give her some of your change or what?

    I have no problem with tipping for service or even if it's the "done thing", but it's a bit confusing how you do it gracefully if it doesn't seem like a tip is deserved in the context of the situation.

    Ohh, I f*cking HATE dancer drinks. The worst part is that a lot of places they make you think that you're buying your gal something alcoholic, but in reality its nothing but soda or juice, or at the least heavily watered down. I believe that in a number of states, the ABC could come down hard on a club if they ever found out about this little scam.

    It's not so bad when you buy dancer drinks and it only costs the same amount as if you had bought it for yourself, but around here "drink" is actually code for "would you like to pay the lady for her time". You pay the waitress an inflated sum, usually $10 minimum, and the dancer receives a majority cut of the sale. They do actually serve a drink, but whether you pay $10 or $50, they serve the same beverage. The more you pay, the longer the dancer sits with you apparently.

    I'll admit to doing it, but only at the entry level price.

    it's a guilt trip only because you allow it to be one. you don't have to buy a drink for a stripper. so, why would you feel guilty about not buying some random stripper a drink? is it out of some sense of politeness or gentlemanliness? you do know that strippers and sc hustle drinks by taking advantage of such behavior.

    oh, get real and knock off the stripper hustle by call it cheap. just because some random stripper plops her ass down on a customer's lap and starts running her mouth. it doesn't matter if he's not sure he's going to buy a going dance. it still doesn't obligate a customer to buy her a drink.

    Like I said - he doesn't have to. And I can see how, if you really don't want the girl's company, you would say no. However, if you are taking the chick on the test drive, DO want her company (and do keep in mind, that, even here, most guys don't share your attitude that dancers are better off without heads. Most of them DON'T like the "wanna dance" hustle, and instead want the chick to spend a certain amount of time pretending to like them first) to me, it seems cheap not even to buy the girl a drink (in particular if they are not "dancer drinks"). Nothing to do with a hustle, because obviously, whether they are commission drinks or not it has nothing to do with ME (the dude is in Arizona! Trust me, he will not be getting me drunk! Even like, unknownst to him. Although it would be funny if he had to now go around like "Would you like to buy the lady a drink? "Are you Jenny from stripperweb?" "Um, yes" "Hell, no!") I, personally, just don't think it is nice or... I don't know, NOT CHEAP to keep a girl's company in a bar, and not buy the girl a drink. If I were in a bar, and trying to maintain the company of a stripper I would buy him or her a drink. If I wanted him or her to go away, I wouldn't.

    That was the parenthesis, anyway. My point, which was that you cannot fault the bar for trying to sell drinks, still stands.

    Strip clubs make the vast majority of their moey from liqour sales so I fully expect the drink hustle in one form or another. I've seen dancers get yelled at for refusing a customers offer for a drink. The key is not to let yourself get "guilted" into buying a drink for a dancer you have no interest in. I'll buy a round of umbrella drinks for a whole table of lovlies if I know them or invited them to sit down. If a strange dancer plops herself down and a waitress shows up three seconds later asking if I want to buy the lady a drink I just say no thank you. It's a great way to get rid of both of them.

    Be good to your barmaid. My ATF bartender chases girls away from me at her bar when she knows who I'm waiting for with clever lines like " Honey, unless you can fake a South American accent you are wasting your time with this guy". If she was a dancer I'd be bankrupt....

    My rant: my club stopped giving away water. Now you can get a glass of water WITH a drink but you can't just get a glass of water. I used to ask for water and I would tip the waitress for bringing it to me. Now they want to charge me 3 bucks for bottled water that doesn't even have any ice in it. So basically I can't go in, spend a few hours drinking, and then wind down on water unless I want to pay for bottled water.. which just came out of a tap anyway...unless I want to order a glass of water with each drink and save them on my table for later... what a hassle. They won't provide free water to the dancers either... isnt that against OSHA regs or something? ARRGGGH

    I agree with previous posts about toilet trolls. Im by no means cheap but I hate the thought of handing money over to some guy hanging out in the restroom. Theres a nice club south of town that I wont go to just for that reason.

    $7.75 for a dancer shot seems ridiculous to me. My fav drinks 1800 which sells for $25 a bottle tops, wholesale. A shot at most costs the club a buck or so. Im a capitalist but 700% profit? Fuck that, Im thinkin about wearing yo yo wassup baggy pants into the club and smuggling in a bottle stuffed down in the groin area.

    Bouncers who think that working at a strip club gives them some sort of social status. Granted, we know the managers get laid because they have the power to hire and fire strippers and generally are ruthless. But bouncers? Give me a break. The best they can hope for is a $5 tip for walking a dancer out to her car at closing time.

    Well some of our ladies aren't going to like this one, and I've kind of mentioned it in the "most and least you've paid for a dance" thread, but I've got to rant about clubs that set dance and VIP room prices way too high for the particular market the club is situated for, then bitch about the lack of people buying said services, or demanding a good return in mileage for buying them. Its as if SC owners are completely clueless on the concept of price thresholds.

    Its almost as if the their philosiphy is, "well we can't get 80% of the customers here to buy dances, so we gotta stick it to the few suckers who do buy them". Just once I'd like to see how some of these yokels would fare in a real business where they couldn't just raise dancer fees to make up for lost revenue during slow periods (often brought on and/or exasperated by their own greed and stupidity).

    Well, at least they're not giving you some high grade shit...er, I mean water. At Michael's International, in Houston, they sell this Hungarian bottled water (I forgot the name). Cost about $7.50 or something like that...same as a beer (at night). I think they'll give you a small glass with ice if you want one though.

    i'm sure you don't think it's nice. after all, sc and strippers are depending on taking advantage of that niceness to sell drinks. furthermore, it's a business transaction not a date. a stripper is no more entitled to a customer buying her a drink than a customer is entitled to uncompensated conversation from a stripper for hours on end. in fact, i'm sure you ladies would advise against such an act.

    i'm not faulting the bar for selling drinks or strippers for hustling drinks. i'm just saying that customers shouldn't feel bad about not buying drinks for strippers.

I'll buy a round of umbrella drinks for a whole table of lovlies if I know them or invited them to sit down. If a strange dancer plops herself down and a waitress shows up three seconds later asking if I want to buy the lady a drink I just say no thank you. It's a great way to get rid of both of them.
    exactly, the last thing i'm going to do is buy a drink for a stripper who hasn't done a damn thing for me.

    that trend has been going on for a while. movie theaters, bars, hotels, restaurants, sport stadiums, etc love selling bottled water because the profit margin is huge. in many full-service restaurants, they train their staff to push bottled water. so, you have to specify if you want plain old tap water. in fact, some restaurants give waiters a commission based on how much bottled water they sell.

    And I agreed. I know. He doesn't have to. Come to think of it, he has no legal obligation, if on a date, to buy her a drink either. My argument was not that he had to buy all the dancers drinks. It was just that if you want the dancer to sit at your table and entertain you offering her a drink is not a big deal.

    i'm sure you don't think it's nice. after all, sc and strippers are depending on taking advantage of that niceness to sell drinks.
    Dude - you are fucking paranoid. It's not all a big conspiracy against you guys. What the fuck (unless they are working on commission, which in most places isn't even legal) would the dancer even care? She's just thirsty.

    furthermore, it's a business transaction not a date. a stripper is no more entitled to a customer buying her a drink than a customer is entitled to uncompensated conversation from a stripper for hours on end. in fact, i'm sure you ladies would advise against such an act.
    I realize that she has no legal entitlement (nor does a date, incidentally). But I would assume that if a customer refused to buy me a drink that he didn't want me there. If I got up to walk away after that (assuming that if he is unwilling to invest $6.00, he's unlikely to invest $60.00 in 20 minutes) and he said "Oh, no wait. I want you to sit around here and entertain me for 40 minutes while I decide whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for a lapdance; I just don't want to buy you a drink is all" (even if it were couched in the whole "I hate being pressured" vernacular) I would think that was really cheap, and I doubt I'd stay (it just doesn't seem likely to pan out, does it?)

    I'm not saying you should. I'm saying that if you want the girl to stick around a drink is a fairly minimal investment; so minimal that not offering is a little questionable. If you don't want the girl to stick around then making the initial investment would be dumb. I didn't think it was necessary to say this is only my opinion - because after all, whose else's opinion might it be.

    * Why are my favorite dancers just right when they're buzzed, but nobody you'd want when they're sober or drunk?

    * Why can't clubs stick to one brand of bottled water so you can smuggle in the right bottle on the first try?

    * Why don't more cute heads get screwed onto hot slender bods?

    * Why don't dependable, responsible brains ever get into cute heads on hot slender bods?

    * Why do dancers have to tell you they don't like giving head? I even had one tell me she didn't like getting it because then she'd feel pressure to give it.

    * Why can't a dancer tell you she has her period when she asks for the dance?

    * Why can't every DJ just shut the fuck up? Have you ever heard them say anything you wanted to hear other than the dancer's name? And 20% of the time they don't know who's next. "Correction, it will be Lassie in one song."

    * Why don't Brazilian dancers learn English? Does it fuck with their mojo or something?

    * Why can't we even list rants without Jenny and mr_punk getting into another &^$%|#@ Quotes and Comments Debate?

    AHEM! In fact, that cough was so loud, I must even bold: AHEM!

    It just happens - I'm sorry. I'll be good.

    Really, that's crap! If I walk up to the bar and get a water at any of the 17 fucking places I've worked, they gave me a water. I have a feeling that's another bar hustle. I always tip a buck or two for tap water anyway, since bartenders, valet, bathroom attendants, ad nauseum...WORK FOR 100% TIPS JUST LIKE WE DO!!!!!

    Call it the capitalist racket if you will, but the reason most of these people are being pushy for tips is because they are not being paid to be there either. These clubs are a piece of work, let me tell you. I think they do pay the doorgirl and a meager management salary, but almost 100% of the staff makes all their money from tipout sharing (busboys, etc) or from the customers only (dancers). Waitresses and bartenders might make 1/2 of minimum wage.

    Its not your cushy fat-ass office job. I've worked in the service industry in Europe. Employees receive a decent hourly salary before tips, so tipping is NOT compulsory.

    Actually Sporty many of them do...they just know what you're about and they don't want to talk to you .

    Can't agree with you more on the DJ thing, The guys at the Caddy should all be stoned ( I mean as in having rocks thrown at them....)
