    Default "But I just got here!"

    I typically greet prospects when they arrive and disappear for about 20 minutes so that they have a chance to look around, get their drinks, and relax a bit. When I wander back, I do my song and dances for, well, a dance. Most of the customers in my area say, "Already? But I just got here!" No, they haven't. I've been timing them. They've been in the club for at least 20 minutes.

    I respond: "You have been here half an hour. You must have seen someone you want to get to know, right?"

    "But I only have been here 30 minutes!"

    O. M. G.
    W. T. F.

    I have never sold one of these customers. Ever. I've sold a few "I don't get dances" and "It's penny beer night" customers. The "Just got here"s are impossible. I even come back later. They are always "not ready yet."

    So what's up with them?

    I actually sold one of these guys. I was in One Of Those Moods, and someone whined, "I just got here." I snapped back, "Oh, still trying to figure out if you like girls or not?" He bought a dance right away, and two more afterward.

    Most of these guys aren't worth it though. That's just another "I'm a cheap bastard" line.

    that is partially a region and/or club-contingent thing. it is completely usual at my current and former clubs for guys to spend hours in the club, and not start getting dances until after about an hour. but those clubs also attract a lot of groups. guys by themselves that say such things can sometimes be persuaded into tipping or dances. i consider them a variant of 'maybe later'-- dependent on the context of the 'maybe later', they are worth a periodic swoop if no others are biting. since we all know some maybe laters really do mean later while others don't.

    If they are going to be buttheads about it, say, "I totally understand. When would be a good time to come back and check on you?". This forces them to quantify the amount of time is a "good" time and holds them to the fire a bit.

    yeah right, then you come back and they say, "damn girl! I said 10 minutes" or "I'm on my way out"

    Yep, this falls in with - " I'm just here to watch." or the always exciting " Wow, you are really beautifull. I'll come and find you."

    Or my favorite - " If I am getting a dance it would be with you."

    and inevitably, as they are telling you they are leaving, they ask when you work next.

    Ooooh! I can't wait!

    Some guys could just be cheap, while other guys may not want to come out and say "You're not my type".

    I know that when I go to a club, I want to watch several sets to see who I want private dances from, then try out a few girls for private dances, and then pick someone out to go into the VIP room.

    So when I first get there, I am kind of window shopping and don't want to go private right away. I'm guessing a lot of guys are the same way.

    I think most of the time it's just another way of saying "maybe later", and we all know that usually means never. If I go into a new club I'm not spending a dime on privates until I see every girl onstage. I've had buyer's remorse too many times whn I didn't follow this plan. If a dancer comes over I will nicely tell her I'ts my first time in the club and I want to check thngs out for a while before I make any decisions. I honestly don't mind if she comes around once in a while to see if I'm ready yet as long as her attitude doesn't suffer on each return visit.

    If a dancer is definitely not my type I will be a little less vague and just tell her I'm not interested-politley of course.

    My all-time FAVORITE, that one. Invariably it means they want to watch for FREE.

    Actually I don't mind getting these guys once in awhile; they make for a good scratching post. I don't mind sharpening my claws on them when I'm in a shitty mood, because they deserve it. Cheap shit fucking bastards.

    I think most of the time, it's financial. But when it's not, it's not a bad idea to close them sooner...
    You can sit with them when they order their drink to kinda see what's in their wallet. Then you know what you're working with.

    That's kind of a bad way to tell if they are going to spend. Some guys keep the big bills in a separate place (I would too!) or it's an impromptu visit and they plan to use the ATM or credit cards.

    Personally I'd rather have the guy tell me he's not into blond's with big boobs than to insult my intelligence and use one of those crappy, worn out, tired lines. The former is much easier to take and of course it will get a -much- better response.

    I just snap on people. Well lets make that call them out.

    If someone says they are just hanging out and having a beer ..I'll seriously sit my ass down on their lap in front of their friends and ask what posesses them to buy 5 dollar beer..pay a cover charge and get hasseled if they are just wanting to "relax and have a few "

    They never have a response for this .

    Or the entire " what days do you work next? I'd love to come in when I am in a better mood and take you to the vip !! ".. I look at them as dead pan stare as I can get .. and say

    WOW Really! Im so fucking excited!!! then roll my eyes. and i sit there staring at em'.

    Or you can clap your hands really loud and scream " OH goody! " no one ever knows how to respond to that.

    There is this old guy that pisses me off on a regular. always weird ..will tip you while you sit with him but i'ts like a 20 on stage to get you over there. ( because you think he's going to spend. ) then it's 10 bucks ..then 5 and after awhile you are getting the stray dollars. all in all you'll make about 40 but sit there and waste half your shift ( the FIRST time you encounter him. )

    I watch him do this shit to girls all the time and they get so fucking bummed out. His reasoning is that he can't really get dances because his wife ..yet he can be there? So he just tips and then he's buying a redbull or awater so .. thats outta your tips young lady.

    I was rather pissy last weekend and I walked up to him and said " so are you still sitting in here being a cheap greedy old man ? " He looked at me in shock and then ..get this ..opened a tab and spent on a the next girl that sat there. So smetimes it works out to call people on their cheapness.

    I used to tell my husband that he could go to strip clubs and watch, but not buy any lapdances.

    I was a fucking teenage idiot.

    I do use the line "I just got here", but I use it only in the 1st 10-15 mins. when I'm getting settled and checking out the action.

    They're never gonna be ready. Cheapasses looking for a free show. Ignore them and spend your time on someone else.

    Okay the big point is ( if we are talking in general here. )

    Is when customers come in and lurk. You can tell ( by a vibe not shoes. ) if a person actually is there to tip or just ..well creep out for a bit.

    Now if you are in there nursing a single lonely beer for 8 hours .. randomly giving a dollar at stage ( not saying you gotta stay for a stage show. ) or when a girl asks for a dance and you say ' nah im just hanging out .." here's a buck. buh bye.

    that's one thing. Many people come into strip clubs because theyv'e had it with the outside world. A typical bar brings typical hassles and some unforeseen shit sometimes. In a strip club you know what you are getting yourself into. Minus the one crazy stripper or something.

    But it wouldnt kill anyone to give someone a damn tip if they are starring at them dance on stage ..watching them do lap dances to another customer or if the girl asks for a tip..

    I agree. My time is much to valuable to waste in such a fashion, plus to me that sort of amounts to begging - if a smart ass rich fella wants to play head games with me while I'm at work over a dance. Gosh, thats sort of dumb.

    If he wants to sit and suck on a drink by himself. Who am I to try and ( Oh my gosh ) do my job and entertain him. Wow, what a concept.

    As for the tipping issue, well hey. Some guys do like blond's with big boobs. Yay!

    I see your point. I appreciate the customer who tells me, "No thanks." I know without question not to waste my time or pester his otherwise relaxing visit.

    I'm now understanding that "Come back later," and "Yes," are the only positive responses. The "Maybe later" and "I'm not ready" really mean "No." Though again, I respect a man when he can tell me, "No thank you." Character, I tell you. Character.

    Most of these guys aren't worth it though. That's just another "I'm a cheap bastard" line.
    You can win a dance from anyone if you make them laugh hard enough. All you'll get is one dance. Better than nothing. Most of the just-got-heres are twisted fucks with no social skills. If you are there longer than 20 minutes, you've been there long enough. You've seen every girl in the club. You've seen them on stage. You've probably seen them change outfits. What more do you need to know?

    Lizette,

    thanks for the post - as a cust I am always struggling with the politeness vs. directness challenge. Eventually we all come up with our own standards and norms. In my very regular club, I've found that the SC envirnment has very quickly adapted to my signals/responses to accurately predict what I want - that's why I continue to be a regular.

    In those unfamiliar places, I/we will still tangle with the challenge of trying to explain if just want to suck down my first beer before being approached, or really won't have any interest for the rest of the night.

    Similar to the ladies, the good custy's dont' want to get a reputation for being "bitches". so to speak.
