    Default I just had a thought

    humm....

    which is more economical...


    Getting 3 dances from a dancer for $50

    or paying $125 for 20 mintues


    If you break it down, a song is about 3 and a half mintues, meaning for 20 mintues, you would get give or take, 5 songs

    If you pay for 2 $50 dollar dances and 1 20 dollar dance, which is 1 dance that's $7 dances...

    so I am actually being ripped off by paying $125 for 20 mintues of time?

    No offense,but if you're over analyzing which choice is more cost effective,you don't belong in strip clubs.

    well good day to you as well... so it's okay for you to figure out how to husltle a guy for every last cent he has in his pocket but it's wrong for a customer to figure out how to get the best bang for his buck? The hypocrisy

    Depends on how long the songs are. Your only deficiency here is in math, baby.

    I don't have a problem with that. Actually I have never bouhgt a 50 dollar dance in my life, it's either 125 or just a 20 to see if the person can dance, but if I want decide to get a dance, I don't play around

    I'm just saying... it's not really a promotion if they are not benefiting the customer... It's like having a 2 songs for 20 dollars, but the songs are only 1 mintue long... the point is to get more money into the dancers hands because the prices are lower

    Okay Songofthesword, if you think that you're being ripped off than why do it? We have a lot of ridiculous prices at my club too and I don't know how management comes up with these crazy dance specials, but if you're really concerned about cost-effectiveness why don't you just ask the dancer what she thinks? If it were me, I'd help to save you money I promise...

    I didn't say I was concerned with the cost effectiveness... that's actually counterproductive.. going to a SC and worried about how much a lap dance costs

    My issuse is that the "speical" isn't really a speical.. I mean I will pay for it, because it will put more money in the dancers pocket and i'm not going to bitch about a song difference, by then she's tired and ready to go freshen up anyway.. most of the time i let them stop dancing after the 3rd or 4th song and we talk anyway

    Well yes, but in 95% of strip clubs the dancers are more along the lines of Ford and GM than the luxury models.


    Is this 20 minute package here a 20 minute dance or 20 minutes of dedicated time that might include dances. If it's the former, how good a deal the 20 minutes is depends on the length of the songs. If it's the latter, then we're kind of comparing apples and oranges.

    In either case, the service will sell based on customers perceived value of the product. If you don't perceive any value in something, then don't buy it.

    Sadly,this statement reminds me all too much of the downward trend the clubs have been heading.In my day,you could see "Mercedes,Ferraris and such quality" a lot more.

    if you are trying to get the most time for your money then probably the individual dances are cheaper, but why stop there?

    I'm sure if you offered a girl $100 to keep you company at the bar for an hour, she would. Wouldn't that be better?

    but then you might say you are paying extra for the intimacy, and I'd say that's why VIPs cost more on a per minute basis.

    and I'm not sure if any of it is a "rip off"

    theoretically, the whole SC experience is a rip off if you "break it down", so stop thinking about it beyond the fact that it gives you enjoyment and you can afford it.

    I hate working in clubs where the price / time ratio doesn't add up with the more people spend! In any other buisness you would expect a better deal for the more $ spent, I really don't get why some strip clubs choose to go the opposite way. It's fine when customers don't notice or care I supose, but when customers notice too and start questioning why it doesn't help to sell a show / lapdance at all. In the past I have just found it annoying trying to explain something that doesn't make sense to me either.
    I currently work in a club where shows are sold in 15 minute blocks (Ie 15 mins = $80, half hour =$160, and hour = $320 and so on...) which I think is much easier - who wants to think about maths in a strip club, I much prefur being able to roll off set prices without having to think or answer questions about it!

    I think you come out ahead with a 20 minute dance. (but it's early and I'm only on my second cup of coffee ).

    Do you get anything extra for the 20 minute dance?(and I don't mean EXTRAS) My clubs 20 min. is the same as a regular LD but I know of some clubs that offer a bennefit for the longer one, girls go down to t-bars, you get more contact etc.

    As for the 2-4-1's, most clubs cut the songs so short to me it's not worth it, it's all physcological to me. The guy hears two songs and thinks he's getting a deal but it actually works out to about one song.

    a dancer told me that, you know, that the 2-4-1's are really equal to one lap dance, so I stopped getting them

    for 20 mintues? Not really, the same thing you would get for a 50 dollar dance... thinking about it, 20 mintues is a long ass time. I have never paid for one and actually gotten a 20 mintue LD.. usually the girls get tired and we stop and talk..

    I think Emily's suggestion that the "whole SC experience is a rip off if you break it down" is correct in the sense that (from the customer's viewpoint) what one is buying is entirely frivolous.* A strip club is a poor choice if one wants to interact with women in a non-frivolous way (e.g. to make a friend, find a lover, have 'real' sex, ...). Indeed, perhaps it's one of the worst possible choices for some of these. It's a good place for frivolous interactions. So, in the sense that you're paying cash for frivolous benefits, the exchange is a "rip off" because you're not getting anything really meaningful. And a corollary is perhaps that it doesn't make sense to analyze it too much.

    On a more fundamental level, however, it's really not a rip off at all. It's just the way commerce works. For a very light intro to economics, I can suggest Tim Harford's recent bestseller entitled "The Undercover Economist." In it, he points out that companies price products differently NOT in proportion to their inherent worth (quantified somehow) but to allow customers to self-select themselves as willing and able to afford more (while still extracting a lesser amount from those customers who are only willing or able to buy the lower priced product). For example, a high-end cappuccino costs Starbucks only a few pennies more to make than a basic coffee, but they charge double (or more). This is NOT because they have decided that the cappuccino is inherently worth twice as much as the basic coffee, but because having differentially priced products allows the customers willing to spend more to self-select by buying the cappuccino, while the cheap (or poor) ones still provide some income to the company by buying the lower-priced product. It's the way our economy works. If we don't like it, we can always move to Zimbabwe.

    Well, sorry for the lecture.

    Of course, the term "rip off" also commonly means that you're being cheated -- e.g. deliberately misled into thinking you're going to get something that you won't get. I don't think most clubs are a rip off in this sense, since the customers are complicit in the whole thing. (But certainly there are cases where one gets cheated.)



    Footnote:
    * I realize that from the dancer's viewpoint, the industry is not frivolous -- it's her livelihood.
    Also, perhaps my view of the benefits (to the customer) as being "frivolous" will seem insulting. If so, my apologies. No disrespect intended. I may be off base on all this.

    Lamborginnis dont go on sale because nobody buys them, they are overpriced. If you go for the grinding sensation so get the $5 dances. If you are with a girl and you like her then 5$ $10 $20 $100 or your salary will make no difference.
    It&#039;s TOO BAD SHE&#039;LL won&#039;t LAST, BUT then again WHO DOES!?
