OK I need some advice on a situation. Last night at work, a guy approached me and said that he wanted me to show his Bachelor friend some fun(i.e., lapdances or champagne court) and after I explained to him the prices for lapdances and champagne court, we agreed that I would give his buddy the 4-dances-for-$100 special. So we walked over to his friends, he told the Bachelor to follow me and get dances, then put a $100 bill in the Bachelor's front shirt pocket to pay for the dances. The Bachelor was drunk and reminded me slightly of K-Fed(yes, Britney Spear's husband) and that's NOT a good thing. So we walk over to the register to pay for the dances, and the cashier guy sees his $100 and says "one dance for $30, or the 4-for-$100 special?" and the Bachelor says only one dance even though his friend had intended for me to keep him back there for longer. It results in me only doing a single dance for him, and he tried to be very touchy too. At the end of the dance, I asked if he wanted another, and in his drunken state he said "only if it's free."(asshole)
I didn't know how to react when we'd initially paid for the dance at the cash register, but I feel kinda insulted. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? For example, should I have told the friend to give the $100 bill to me, insteada the drunk Bachelor's shirt pocket? Then again, there's the argument that it was completely up to the Bachelor's discretion to decide what to do with the money(i.e., decide to NOT get more dances from me even though his friend wanted it) and how he wanted to spend the $100. Do you think that the Bachelor was aware that the friend had intended for the whole $100 to be spent on dances without receiving change back? Maybe it was an unintentional miscommunication? Or maybe he didn't like me as much as his friend did and only got 1 dance while knowing that his friend planned to get him 4? Either way, it was obvious that he was a few sheets to the wind.
But then again, another thought...After that happened, I felt uncomfortable passing by the Bachelor's group of friends, was because the whole situation of giving 1 dance insteada 4 had potential to make me look really bad. For example, I didn't want the friend to think that I'd cut the dance short or refused to devote the full amount of time for his Bachelor friend. And what if the Bachelor might have pocketed the remaining $70?(after all, he was drunk and not in the best mindset at the time) Then the friend would see him emerging from the couch room after only one song, with no money remaining, and might wrongly think that I'd "ripped off" the Bachelor when in fact he'd ripped off the friend and me. I know how it feels to be ripped off with paying for couch dances; one time, I paid a coworker to give my guy friend three 4-min lapdances, and when he came out of the couch room after 2 very short songs with no change, I concluded that the dancer(who was self-admittedly drunk that day) had cut each dance considerably short. I wouldn't want the friend to think that I'd possibly done this to the Bachelor. Plus, there's the whole aggravation with the fact that I woulda made more money from 4 dances, even with the 4-for-$100 special, than I woulda with 1. I didn't handle this situation assertively(or the one concerning my guy friend and a dancer), so I was wondering if there is a proper way to avoid discrepencies like this in the future? Or, am I wrong to feel weird about this situation? I'm not the best person at asserting myself, but I'm trying to learn how to, so any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
