    Default Tipping The Bouncer

    When we go into the VIP room of my local club, I usually give the bouncer at the door $10.00 for a little privacy, or give it to the girl to give him. Last night I had $120.00 left and was going to give it to one of my favorites for a VIP room,
    ($100.00 for 3 dances and a $20.00 tip.) She kept insisting that I had to give the doorman $20.00. I'd already spend $100.00 more than I planned on and since we could come to an agreement, we ended up doing 3 dances on the main floor for $75.00 and I bought her a drink afterwards before I left. I was just wondering what the normal amount is for tipping the bouncer?

    I usually see my ATF tip the host/bouncer $20 when we get done with a
    3/$100 set. She's never asked me to tip the guy. She tips him herself. Of course, I often tip her $20 on top of the $100 anyways.

    If you were intent on some extraciricular hanky panky $20 isn't out of line.

    If you just wanted some "extra privacy" for your standard dance well...I say zilch.

    I mean what's the point of VIP if for using the room, you're subjected to restrictive conditions people getting cheaper dances out on the floor don't have to abide by. Looks like you came to that conclusion by just staying out on the floor.

    I find it very strange that tipping in some contexts has become somehow intertangled with bribery (although with regards to this business I shouldn't be surprised).

    Yet another reason I don't miss the strip clubs in Vegas.

    Heh, I never felt compelled to tip a bouncer as I generally befriend them quickly. Dunno why, but it's almost like, soon after that, they start suggesting girls that are "My Style", whatever they think that is (a game all upon it's own!) and then they'll tell me crazy stories about the club and which girls are involved...so I always have my mental notebook out.

    There are a couple bouncers that'll I'll hang out with a little if they're working it's much the same as what Mast described in his case. In the end, it adds to my club experience and I get some entertainment out of it so I do make sure to tip them.

    I've never seen anyone tip the bouncer. Have you had a dancer object to this?

    I don't see why a dancer would object to it. In fact, I would almost think most dancers would see it as a sign the customer is more likely to tip them as well.

    Or that he's trying to pay off the bouncer to look the other way while he paws at her and/or tries to get her to do more than she's comfortable with.

    I don't want privacy during dances, in fact, I wouldn't mind if a bouncer watched at all times.

    why the fuck would I tip the bouncer? He's not performing a service for me. He is performing a service for the dancer, if she wants to tip him, she can.

    I tip the bouncer or the chamange room waitress when it's going to accomplish something toward my enjoyment of the experience. Many years ago I paid a $30 VIP room tab with a $50 bill. The guy collecting the fees gave me back a $10 and two Five's. It was pretty obvious he was fishing for a tip. I gave him five bucks and my 15 minute VIP turned into a twenty five minute VIP.

    Tipping is part of the culture in strip clubs. Sometimes it's clearly the dancer's responsibility to pony-up but there are occasions when it's going to reap rewards for the customer to part with a few bucks...

    I'm never going to be confused for TOO but jeez, if you can't spread a few bucks around the club without pissing and moaning about it you should probably find another hobby.

    If you want to play the game in the club you tip.

    But then you are in the game and have joined the culture.

    Tipping the bouncers gets you into the reality, I prefer the fantasy.

    Tip your waitress, tip the coat check, tip the dancers, tip the valet.

    If you want to know warts and all, tip the bouncers.

    Really the best results come from tipping the waitresses, they are the golden ticket.

    Well even if I wanted to tip the bouncers, at the three clubs I usually go to you just don't see them that much. At clubs you see a doorman and then there are the one or two guys who watch the parking lots. At one club the parking lot guys are big bad looking fuckers (not in the muscled up pretty boy way but in the 250- 350 lbs big bulky and bad) but they're pretty cool. You just don't want to be the poor sap who makes them come inside to help the manager and doorguy remove your sorry drunk ass.

    If a bouncer was actually doing something for me I'd probably tip them but it just doesn't usually happen in the clubs I go to.

    I had this come up myself recently. I hit the VIP with a girl I've known a long time, but this was the first time I saw her at this club. I actually didn't expect to see her, as she had just moved back to WI from out of state. I had no idea she had moved back, and was at this club, and I was just passing thru Milwaukee on my way back from Chicago.
    Anyways, she tells me to make sure I tip the bouncer. I usually assume that any bouncer tipping is to be done by the lady. She said that otherwise the guy hassles her at the end of the night. I have tipped a bouncer a five on occasion that ran and got me drinks, or when I'm with a girl that I know has a preponderance to push the envelope regarding contact in the club. I have also tossed $5 into the tipjar of the vip host or to the vip bartender, but I never considered that it should be the custom to tip an amount higher than that. When I have tipped a bouncer $5 before, they always seemed happy to get it, as though they don't often receive tips.
    So, I asked her how much I should tip him, and she said whatever I felt like was ok. Before we were done in VIP, she brought up again that I shouldn't forget to tip the bouncer. I mentioned tipping him $5, and she said I should tip $20. Neither her nor the bouncer were around when I left the VIP section, but I compromised, and threw $10 in his tipjar.
    I don't attend this club too often, as it is a little out of my general area, and actually I haven't been back there since. Although I certainly would if I was in the Milwaukee area again for any reason.
    I have talked to the dancer, as I have known her for years, and used to socialize quite a bit with her when she lived in the area. The tipping incident has never came up, so hopefully the bouncer didn't give her any static about my only leaving him a $10 tip.
