    Unless you're in the small percentage of clubs that pay dancers a wage (usually small stage-only ones with five or fewer dancers per shift), I assure you not one dime of that door cover goes towards paying the dancers, as well as the staff. In fact, the girls may be paying 5-10 times your door cover to work a shift there.

    I am curious, if you just want a drink, why go to a place where you have to pay an exorbiant cover to get one, when there are no shortage of watering holes about that don't charge you a cover?

    And while you're not legally obliged to buy a dance or tip anybody, consider the free market results of what will happen in a club if enough guys like that show up. The dancers will eventually think that its no longer worth it to pay money to work there, and will go shake their money makers someplace else. Then you'll have nothing to look at.

    Okay, can we clear this up? Are you in with a bachelor party and just don't want dances, have you just finished a set and don't want to spend any more money yet, or are you just enjoying a quiet drink? I will say again that one should not go to a strip club to enjoy quiet and solitude. It's not really our thing.

    Why do clubs charge a cover? So they can get your money. Why does any club charge a cover? There is no other rationale. And there was a good point made that the business of dancers and the business of the club are two different things. We are selling one thing, and they are selling another and the environment is set up in such a way as you are meant to partake in both, you know what I mean?

    FONDL - I, for one, would feel pretty damn bad about wasting that salesperson's time. I would never do it unless I was actually planning to buy some shoes. If there were no acceptable shoes (generally the case for me - this is why all my shoes are like 6 years old) that is one thing - but very few guys are like, "Well, I was thinking about it, but you're not nearly as nice as I thought you'd be" (because seldom do we actually grow prettier as we sit there with you). They just never intended to lay out in the first place.

    I thought I was obvious in my second response earlier in the thread that I was taking a 'break'. So the second example "just finished a set and don't want to spend any more money yet" would apply. If I'm with a group of guys for a bachelor party, I'd like to keep an eye on them while I'm having a drink so I don't lose them during the evening since we tend to SC hop. I'm not the richest guy in the world, so I can't afford to continually shell out cash every 2 minutes and last through the evening like some of them.

    Besides, I treat the dancers alot better than salespeople. I once learned how to drive a stick shift by taking test drives at 3 different car dealerships (but that's another story).

    It's a good thing some of you ladies don't sell cars for a living.

    Here's perhaps a better analogy than the shoe salesman. My ATF is now a massage therapist. She recently started her own business. She rents space from a beauty salon, and in exchange she has access to their customer base to make her sales pitch. Some of the salon's customers become her customers too, but many don't and they are under no obligation to do so.

    Strippers, unless they're employed by the club and few are, have a very similar situation. They're running their own business. They have an arrangement with a club in which they pay the club and provide entertainment for the club's customers, and in exchange the club allows them access to their customers to make their sales pitch and provides space for them to provide their services. Some customers buy, some don't, some tip the dancers for their entertainment, some don't, but none are under any obligation to spend any money on the dancers, nor should they feel that they are. Some guys just like to sit and have a few drinks and you should feel free to do so too if that's why you're there, or even if you just want to take a break for awhile. If you want to be left alone, the girls should be courteous enough to let you do so. And you shouldn't have to make up excuses, any more than the beauty parlor customer has to expain why she doesn't want a massage.

    I give the dancers an honest answer. I'm usually swarmed every couple minutes when I sit down and the ones I'm interested in I'll say "maybe later, i just got here i want to check things out for a bit". If I'm not interested I just say no thank you.

    Sometimes girls get an attitude and act like I'm a cheapskate or something just because I don't want a dance from them. I like to get a lot of dances but only from girls with certain attributes that fit my interests. I feel bad turning down dances but you can't say yes to every girl who walks by.
