    Default Kill the dollar bill!

    There's an article in Slate about the new dollar coins. I'm so ready -- I was telling one of my bartenders how we needed to start using $1 coins and $2 bills at the dang club. Considering that stage tips have been practically inflation-proof, I say it's about damn time.

    I've heard of that happening in Canada. (smallest bill is a $5)

    I'd rather carry around a bunch of bills instead of a bunch of heavy coins. Talk about a pain in the ass.

    i was sitting on top of the pole when a group of guys were (thankfully) tipping me by tossing money up to where i was. one bill hit me square on the forehead. i'm glad that wasn't a coin.

    As convenient as it would seem having coins instead of paper money longevity-wise, it has never caught on here. All previous attempts have failed miserably and ended up either in peoples' coin collections or toll booths. I have a feeling pretty much the same thing will happen again-the only way I see us converting to coins is if the government forced us to and stopped circulating $1 bills. Plus, I think it would have a negative impact on our stage money!

    I find people tip a lot less up here in Canada and I think they would tip more if they had smaller bills. Tipping culture is an American thing and it works for me, why change it??

    I heard a girl say once (on here I think) that some assholes will light them on fire before they throw them at the girls so they hurt even more. Nice. I have personally never seen that in any clubs I've visited in Toronto, but I can imagine some young drunk assholes thinking its funny.

    That's so fucked up.

    If anyone threw anything that was on fire at me, they'd be in for a kick in the face.

    I KNEW stripper heels served more of a function than making the ladies look sexy, lol.

    I should have made my point clearer -- do any of you seriously think we would haul coins around? -- which is that I anticipate $2 and $5 bills being tipped.

    I work in canada. We have 1 and 2$ coins. People usually tip 5 or 10 for stages, but dont do it as often. People never tip stages with coins. And even if they did by chance chuck some loonie at me on stage, i sure as hell wouldnt go pick it up. I would almost be insulted. Guys dont usually use coins to pay for a dance either. I think i MIGHT get one dance in a week were the guy will pay with a 20, and then the last five in change. Most girls at my club hold little purses, only some carry their cash. If they get change, they usually take it up to the bar to get bills.

    It will either dicourage tips all together, or encourage larger tips. Im hoping for the latter.

    Yeah I would think they would tip with 5$ bills and just tip a lot less... its all relative in the end...

    I think you would have to warm the customers up to the idea. Some of them complain about not getting enough bang for their buck as it is.

    If clubs could offer something like $2 Wednesdays, selling drink specials or cover charges for $2 and then adding in only $2 bills as change, that would be novel and people would slowly warm to the idea of tipping with $2's and $5's.

    If a club tries this with a weekend crowd, the dancers would have to work a lot harder for the same amount of tips, because $1 is easy to throw down for a hot girl, but tipping $2's or $5's will give the cheap weekend crowd pause before stage tipping.

    My husband worked a club (arizona?) that wouldn't circulate dollar bills only $2 bills. He said it was one of the smartest things he's ever seen a club do. Personally, I would be all for it!

    Hey at least if a bitch trys to rob you you can clock her in the head with your purse. A purse of coins is alot more painful than a purse of dollars

    Also, I think incorporating $2 bills would be a very good idea.

    Oh yeah, its true! ALL the time, guys will get up with loonies($1) or twoonies($2) in thier mouth for a tip. We don't generally get insulted over it because we make alot more money selling dances, and if they tipped, they buy dances 90% of the time from the girl they tipped. It's not so bad...

    One time when I was in a club in Canada (Calgary to be specific) the dancers seeme to be banking on stage tips in loonies and twonies. Basically they would do a feature-type dance for a song or two, then work the rail by sitting/squatting near the guys, and placing a tumbler between their legs, or between their breasts (for the well-endowed), and guys would pitch their coins trying to make a basket - those who did would get an autographed poster or some other swag. I was the only guy who tried to tip with bills - it just felt weird tipping in coins, even if it was the custom.

    That is the *only* time I've seen anything like that, however. When I went to clubs in Toronto there either was no stage tipping or the guys would tip in $5 bills and above.

    I don't know...they don't tip here unless they put it in their mouths and we dance over them a little, and take it with our tits. For five dollars, and it being so rare, it's so not worth it.

    Whenever I've danced for Americans, who throw us money for nothing more than dancing in proximity, it's awsome. Maybe Americans are more generous than Canadians, but a major reason we get screwed out of tips is because coins are a pain. So beware! Beware the $1 and $2 coins!

    They also make a purse so very heavy sometimes.

    The only time you see $2 circulating around here is when the nudists come to town (well not my town, but in the general area).... otherwise, they're rarely used. A lot of businesses, even large corporations like Best Buy, wont accept that they're real currency! It's nuts.

    Australia also has $1 and $2 coins and yes they will throw them on stage AT the dancer .... or even go so far (as I have seen a handful of times) as going up and "showering" the dancer in their change.

    It doesn't get rid of the cheapos. It increases them in a way ...why? Now they will be REALLY stingy as the lowest cash note is $5 and they "want their money's worth" as such... you can't escape the "whatcha gonna do for the money" question..

    I love clubs where the guys can buy tipping dollars as I end up making more on stage due to it.
