    Default Getting my point across

    So, I work at a no minimum club, and quite frequently guys come in spending $5 and less for table dances. We aren't allowed to "set our own price". I was thinking about ordering a few pairs of booty shorts or thongs customized to say: "Will dance for $10"
    I thought it would be kinda cute, maybe a not-so-rude way to say "dude three dollars does not buy you a dance" (we can get in trouble for this)

    So what do you girls think? Is it a good idea? Or is it tacky? Would it make me look too greedy? I love to hear your input....Thanks!

    I think it's tacky. It doesn't make you look greedy either. it just makes you look cheap.

    Sorry, but that's my honest opinion. I think if you come off as a class act, you can charge whatever you want for a dance.

    And to the girls that charge $5 for a dance, send them a "f*ck you" from me. They are the reason guys are trying to buy $3 dances.

    Wait, they tip you $5 for an entire song or for an impromptu?

    Thank you for your honesty! No sorry needed, that's why I'm asking!
    But we can't charge whatever we want. We can't tell them to give us a certain amount of money. That's what sux! When a guy asks, I tell them I usually get between ten and twenty dollars. But the three dollar guys aren't asking, they just want you to appreciate it.

    Trust me, none of the girls are happy with the $5 and under crowd

    O well...thanks for ur input!

    wait, I'm confused. So the girl doesn't set her price. The customer does? And she can either accept or reject?

    weird!

    Note: I've made a little rant about the the policy of my club before, so I just want to let everyone know I'm not posting this to complain more about it.

    But we give table dances at our club, and we have a strict no minimum policy. A dance usually lasts a song (unless there is a table of guys you know are tipping 3-5 bucks, then I do a third of a song each, and work my way around them). They can give us whatever they want. If they ask how much, we can't say a set price, OR even at least___. I'm trying to get these fuckers to tip more without getting in trouble with management.

    Oh, and here are I couple threads I posted before that kinda explain the situation:

    I don't see how you could make any money that way. I think I'd look for a new club to work at.

It sounds like whoever is running the club is deliberately trying to have it so that they girls don't make any money at all. That really sucks
    No, no, no..... deep breath
    We do table dances only. The guy pays us what he wants. We cannot set our own price. The club doesn't take a cut (we tip the dj 10%). No house fees. We usually dance for a whole song. Regulars that tip less than $10 do not get a full song outta me though. I know, its strange....but sometimes it works out well, sometimes it doesnt...

    Damn if someone tried to make me dance for 3 dollars it would be a 30 second dance! I hope you are fully clothed and everything for that dance. It doesn't seem worth it.

    So im gathering this non set price is because of a law ., meaning if you request an amount for dancing you are " soliciting" and the dance is seen as a "sex act" because of the situation and the nudity ?

    I dont know how youd get this point across without speech., if its a law . If its just a club policy i'd whisper " 5 gets you the trailor to the show , 10 gets you the sneak peek and 20 gets you the golden ticket to the best show . "

    cheesey but im the queen of such and it does work

    How do the other clubs in town operate? Do they have flat rate table dances, and what is managements reason for not having set table dance prices?

    I remember you posting this before. Isn't there somewhere else you can work that is more "normal"?

    Strange working conditions.

    I would go work somewhere else if possible. If that isn't a possible then I am not sure I would continue dancing under those circumstances. I would get another job at least until a better club situation was available.

    Hmmmm.. Maybe I'll try something like this, but very carefully.

    To answer everyone else, Dances are done with your top and bottom covered. There is another topless club about an hour from my house that has $25 private dances (where you get topless), but I heard you only get 7 of it. I also heard that non-extras girls don't have a chance of making much money there. There are a few clubs in the area, but all of them are a BIG step down in cleanliness, safety, and most of the time money. I don't believe other clubs have set prices for table dances (b/c they are pushing private shows anyway). And I don't believe its against the law, but when the owner opened the club 20 years ago, this is what he decided, and I doubt it will change. Although I have been thinking a lot lately about talking to all the girls and having a meeting with management about it.

    Anywho.....I am just trying to look for new ways to nudge them into giving a few extra bucks. Any suggestions would be great! Oh, and if this should be in the Hustle Hut, sorry! Feel free to move~

    (I'm buying a Balinese kitten tonight so when I worked Wednesday I asked for an extra dollar after they paid for a dance for my "kitten fund". It worked! Maybe I'll try something like that. $1 extra per dance -times- 50 dances in a 5-hour shift = $50 more, right?)

    Can you ask for your $$ up front? That way if you know what kind of tip you are getting, then you can give an appropriate dance.

    IE; $3 tip gets a 45 second dance $20 tip gets a full song.

    One would think that if there is no set minimum tip, that there also is no set minimum dance length.
