    Default Asking for tips really so bad?

    When I started doing this 6 wks ago I decided not to ask custys for tips. I figured, if they were in a champagne room with me they at least spent $125 already, and it would be rude to ask for more. I also did a search on SW on the subject, and it seems like many of the girls here agree with me. But now my thoughts on the subject are changing. Every veteran dancer at my club who gave me advice (3 or 4of them) told me to ask for a tip after each dance. (Meaning any dance off stage.) Every girl I know at that club, and some I don't know but have just observed, does it, and many have specially formulated tip hustles to get them. Touching our boobs and ass is allowed in our club as long as we're comfortable with it. Some girls will tell guys up front that they can touch these areas for a $50 tip. Otherwise they have to keep their hands to themselves. Others are just very pushy, making sure the guys know a tip is expected. I still haven't been able to bring myself to ask for a tip (except for one custy who was a complete idiot the whole time we were in the room, and then came in his pants. I deserved that tip) but I'm really considering starting based on how lucrative it seems it can be. I usually do pretty well, get a couple of champagne rooms in a night, but the girls who ask for tips seem to do consistently better. I'm just wondering if this is completely tasteless, or just another good way to make $$$. Any opinions are appreciated.

    there are ways to ask for tips that are discussed in Hustle Hut.

    I have a hard time asking for tips unless he comes (then I expect one!) or if he buys funny money. Then I'll say, "well, it's $xx, and anything extra is up to you"

    At my current club it's considered rude to ask the custy for a tip after a dance. At my old club thogu, it was pretty much expected that dancers would ask for tips. We also did tip walks there after our stage set, so it didn't seem as rude since we were so used to asking for tips- in that environment it's more standard. I think in most clubs without tip walks it's rude to ask for tips. A tip is just that- a tip. If you do a good job and the customer thinks it's worth extra money than he's already paid, then he'll tip you. Many won't, but some will.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    I learned a neat trick here...

    "How much is a lapdance?"
    "Forty, minimum." (or twenty, or whatever it is at your club)

    Most guys understand that a gratuity is expected from that, but it's not as rude as overtly asking for one.

    I like this, I think I'll try it out tonight. It's not too pushy and leaves me the option of going into it further later on, say after the dance....

    If 3 girls at your club told you to ask for tips, it must be more common for your area and is not tasteless. You are missing out on $ in this case not to encourage everyone. At one particular club I worked at dances were $30, but the customers almost always tipped $5-10 on top of that. It helped of course that signs were posted above the dance area that said something about giving tips to the ladies. Maybe it was an East Coast thing?

    Yeah, it does depend on the area. It's not very common in L.A. to tip on top of a lapdance, at least not at any of the clubs I've worked at. It happens, but it's not the norm, probably because the nude dances are already $40 each. I'd imagine you'd get more tips if the dances were cheaper.

    I don't really care about asking for tips, honestly, because I don't have any regulars and am probably never going to see the dudes I dance for again. I say in my sweetest voice, "That's X amount of dollars plus tip, please " and then giggle. If I'm in VIP, I get the bouncers to ask the customer what he'd like to leave me and him for the tip. It takes the pressure off me. And of course, I tip about 25 percent of my tip to the bouncer, so everyone wins. You would tip a waitress, and we do a hell of a lot more intimate shit than waitresses do! I really have the philosiphy in life, ladies, that if you don't ask for something you won't get it. Just say it nicely, you know? I wouldn't be like, "Well it's 20 dollars and you have to tip me too." Make it adorable, act excited and kiss the on the cheek. It's not like an extra five or ten dollars is going to break their pocketbook, but if you get a bunch of five dollar tips over the night it will end up being a big deal to you.

    A good trick I learned is after the dance, when customer says, "how much do I owe ya" I smile really big and say, "that'll be $25 plus my $100 tip" and then the custy always jokes like,"dam $100" and they usually tip me $2-$10. This new trick has worked for me 10-10x thus far.

    but..it only works when the customer asks how much he owes. I haven't figured out how to word it any other way just yet.
