    Default Cheap regulars

    I'm wondering if any of you girls have had this situation happen to you:

    I have a guy that is essentially a regular. He doesn't spend a lot, but when he comes in he usually gets some dances. He and I actually have a mutual friend, so we have stuff to talk about - plus, he took my cat off of my hands because she needed a good home. Anyway, we've gotten to the point where he thinks of us as being great friends. I do not see it this way, because he drives me nuts. He knows that I am married, so he wants to maintain some type of "friendship" with me, although our mutual friend says that he is obsessed with me (which I believe, because he emails me constantly about random crap and tries to come into the club as much as possible). However, we are now in the sort of gray area where he won't buy drinks for me (which is not good because when we sit with a customer we get fired if we don't order a drink. This is of course under the assumption that the guy will pay for it. Usually the waitress will give me my money back later, but he is still being cheap), and sometimes he just comes in to talk. I knew he was going to come in yesterday, so I figured I could at least count on some money. I even blew off some customers that probably would have gotten dances, because I didn't want to ignore him and potentially lose his business. He pretty much talked about the cat the whole time, bored me to death, and then left after fucking wasting my time. He thinks this is ok since we are "friends".

    Now, I'm a very non-confrontational person. He is a nice guy, so I don't want to be mean and tell him not to come see me anymore, especially since he probably will buy dances again at some point. I don't really think that there is much of a way to handle this situation, except for to be honest with him when he is at the club and tell him that I need to hustle real quick or whatever, but if you girls have any tips I would really appreciate it. Mostly, I'm just ranting and wanted to know if anybody else out there has experienced the same thing, and if so, what happened, etc.

    It's your job. You are at the club to make money and he needs to respect that. If he is going to take up your time at work, then you need to be compensated for it. If not, he can wait until you are off work. And he wants to be your "friend" then he should respect that. He wont change unless you tell him.

    Since you are non-confrontational, maybe start spending less and less time for him and before you leave, say that you have to go make money and keep moving. Maybe then he might get the idea.
    Are you "in" or "in the way"?

    DO NOT blow off potential guys.. I have made this mistake and been burned like you. If my regs stop spending money, I stop spending time with them, I can't afford to remain "friends" if I can't make a profit at work.
    If I see him when I am wiht a potential guy, I will tell him that I am talking with soemone and will stop by later, then when I am done with the guys that wanted to spend money, I might chekc in top see if he wants to. If he doesn't, I start checking up on him less and less. TIme is money, that's how it works. I'm sure he wouldn't work for free.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Shit if he were really your friend he'd be telling you to go hustle for dances when he's in there without money to spend on you.

    You could say something like "well, good to see you, but I gotta keep doing rounds, I have a pretty high goal today." That wouldn't be confrontational and would help him remember you are there to make $$!!!!

    Yeah, I agree with what everyone said. I wouldn't waste my time on him because that's what he's doing. And you said that he MIGHT get dances in the future and IMO the best predictor for future behavior is past behavior and if he's not spending now because he thinks you're "friends" then I he's not going to do it later unless you put your foot down and I mean fast. You don't have to be confrontational about it just when he's in the club you need to be "too busy", even if you're not, look busy working around the floor. Maybe occasionally pass him by and say I'm so sorry, it's just so busy right now. When he sees how much you are wanted and in demand, then maybe he'll wake up and pay for your time too. If not, then lose him! You're there to make money not have annoying "customer friends".
