    Default How to tip

    If the question was to tip or not to tip, the answer would be "yes".
    If the question was how much, the answer would be "lots".

    But what if the question was "how"?

    I tip. I always tip waiters, my barber, bartender, or the pizza guy for their services. Why should the hot naked girl on my lap deserve any less?

    In all of the above cases, I guess I normally tip based on convenience.
    $24 pizza? Keep the change. $10.99 haircut? Here's $15.

    Now what's a fair way/amount to tip a dancer? $15 = $20 seems easy. What about 3 x $25 = $75? $80 seems a bit light, even if acceptable by local standards. It's proportionaly 25% of what the $15 girl got... and if I only bought one from the first girl, and 3 from the second, I probably enjoyed the latter more, no?

    I was thinking about giving her the closest convenient combination of bills, then forgo-ing convenience and tacking on an extra $X.
    (ex. I give her 4 x $20 bills for $75, then say here's another $10 for your trouble. Or just give her $100 and say nothing.)

    How do you guys like to get your tips, or do you just like them period?

    - How about you girls who like to get paid up front?
    I've thought about doing that, but I'm not quite sure how to approach it. Most girls seem to expect the traditional model. (I've never had anyone ask to be paid up front anyway.)
    Do I say "here's $X.. don't stop"?
    But what's the advantage over the tradional model, where it's "keep going" followed by "how much do I owe you?". Unless you have a reputation for being a complete el cheapo lamer (or sometimes, even in spite of it), that's how it works.

    - I thought about giving her a large amount as she's getting off the stage as up front... but then I run the risk of her never coming back.
    I've tipped girls $20 on stage (yeah, not a huge amount, I know) to try to get them to find me, but most of the time they don't.
    Now normally, I'll tip you $20 on stage if I really like you, so that's probably going to be a tip, not money up front.
    Should I be explicit about whether or not a large tip is a tip or prepayment? (Regardless, I was expecting her to come by... I'm not mad though, I understand people can get busy.)

    - A lot of the girls that catch my eye are interesting to talk to (they're probably also good at pretending they're interested). I normally go on non-crowded weeknights, so they mostly don't mind just hanging out for a while.
    If I paid up front, I can take breaks in between just to chat. I know she won't run off, and she knows I'm not just bullshitting her and stringing her along (I won't keep her TOO long).
    I do hate to waste anyone's time though, so this might require me to keep an eye on the club situation (normally when I'm there, girls outnumber guys). On a busier night, I'd probably have to pay her for money she's losing out on, LOL.
    Your thoughts on this?

    And your thoughts about tipping in general?
    Keep on doing what you're doing? Tip more? Stop thinking about it and just give me money, dammit?

    For me, I usually allow the customer to tip after I've danced for them. Usually if I collect upfront, I'm not expecting a tip (I'm actually expecting a handsy customer). I had a customer tip me on Monday. He actually rolled it up, so that I woudln't know what it was, but I knew..dont ask me how. Anyway, I asked him if he'd like for me to get off stage when my set was over. Sadly, he was about to leave.

    I think if the girl is a potential candidate of someone you'd like to buy dances from then as you tip her (I actually like getting a bunch of singles from a custy at the same time) and tell her you'd like to spend some time with her. Let her know where you are sitting...If she isnt' receptive, then that is her loss, most definately.

    In my opinion...if your tipping, thats good enough for me. I dont really care how I get them or when I get them, as long as I get them. For me...tipping is really appriciated. I know some girls expect it, ask for it, or get upset when they dont get it, but I never ask for tips, and so when I get one, I feel as if I've done a good job, and made a satisfied customer, so the gratuity is greatly appriciated.

    And for me...any tip is appriciated. Weather it be $5 on a $100 dance, or $100 on a $100 dance. It all still equals extra money I didn't previously have.

    So yeah..tip me up front, tip me at the end, or even tip me right in the middle. I dont care. As long as it equals extra money I would not have had, I'm happy. Of course, the more you tip, the happier I am. The happier I am, the happier you are.
    Service always gets better with a good tip. Same reason why whenever I go out, I always make sure that on my first drink, to tip the bartender very well. Then I know my next drink will be fast, and strong. Of course..this is no reason to tip less the next round. ( pet peve of mine. People who tip good up front, then think they dont need to tip the rest of the night)

    You were on stage at the time?

    Just to clarify, this is more mainly about tipping after private dances.

    On stage, I tip everybody singles (sue me ). If I have $2 bills, I'll tip those on stage cause they're cool and a conversation piece.

    Good advice... letting her know works better than waiting for her to come to me. I eventually got sick of getting nothing, so I started *hint hint*ing when I tip at the stage. Should I be even more direct?

    Also I'm not always prepared, so if I shower anyone with singles, I'll run out.

    ^ well your problem is that your tipping 1s at the stage. if you want a girl to come see you after her set, the best way to get her attention if there's other cutomers tipping, is to tip her better than them. i always thank everyone who tipped after my set, but the guy i'm thanking last -and- asking if he wants me to join him, is the guy who tipped me 10, 20, etc... or even a 5 if that's the highest tip i got.

    also (don't know if you do or not..but..)if you sit directly at the stage and try to make a dancer "work for" a single dollar bill.... that's a surefire way to have her ignore you when she comes off stage unless the place is absolutely dead. it makes you look like "too much trouble for too little money".

    oh and, "being more direct" is fine if you mean "should i just ask her to join me?" i -love- when customers do this at the stage. that way, i already know they're interested. plus, it's generally a good indicator that the customer is willing to spend money.

    Oops, I forgot to mention.
    I normally tip everybody $1s by default. If I really like you, I'll tip from $5 to $20 on stage and hope you come by.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    also (don't know if you do or not..but..)if you sit directly at the stage and try to make a dancer "work for" a single dollar bill.... that's a surefire way to have her ignore you when she comes off stage unless the place is absolutely dead. it makes you look like "too much trouble for too little money".
    Around here, a buck gets you a faceful of boobs.
    It's SOP for you or the dancer to put the $1 bill in your mouth, and take it out with their breasts. I'm perfectly find slipping a bill into a girl's garter or bra, but they're the ones initiating the "smother" technique. (Personally if it's a wrinkly or dirty bill, I keep it in my hand and get a handful of boobs instead.)

    If it's a girl I like, I'll give them multiple singles, plus a larger denomination (typically $5-20).
    You get a lot of mileage for your buck, so it's hard to "make her work too hard".
    Yet I've seen it, though, holding a buck in the air and waving it around expecting something more... when she's just waiting for you to put it in your mouth so she can press her boobs against your face.


    oh and, "being more direct" is fine if you mean "should i just ask her to join me?" i -love- when customers do this at the stage. that way, i already know they're interested. plus, it's generally a good indicator that the customer is willing to spend money.
    Heh, normally I don't do that until I start getting frustrated.

    The problem is I can have an obsessive tendancy, where if a particular girl catches my attention, I'm locked on to her and another girl will have to work at it to shake it off.
    Unless another girl just *clicks* or works at it, I'll be there (still tipping) but not buying dances till I can get ahold of my original girl... which may not be until she hits the stage again.

    Maybe I should just save everyone the grief and start asking right away, eh?
    Even better if that's what she likes.

    I will usually sit away from the tip rail, with a pile of 5's, when I want to tip I will walk to the stage , make sure the girl see me, and walk back to my seat. no handful or faceful of boobies.
    As far as a private dance, I usually ask the dancer, when she has time to come over and see me I would like a LD. And I almost always tip$10 over the price of the dance, and pay full price even if it is a 2 for 1.

    I hate 1's. I use to have 5's and 20's in my pocket. I would give $5 stageside tips to any dancer. She would get an extra $5 if she did a good stage show. I would then use the 20's to get the attention of the ones I wanted to come visit with me.

    This did not work because many of the dancers I gave a 5 to assumed I wanted them to come sit with me. Made it difficult to get together with the one(s) I wanted. I now carry 1's, 5's, and 20's. Most dancers get a 1. A good stage show gets a 5. The 20's still go to the one(s) that have my interest, This seems to work better for me.

    I tip for private dances. Usually, $5 to $10 per song. I also tip for time she spends with me. How much I tip is determined by how much fun I had shooting the breeze with her and how much time she was with me.

    ^^How crass and rude. 2$ a dance extra is 20 more then you're owed. Any custy who buys dances, is polite and tips on top of that is a good custy, and definatly should come back!!!

    Either tip decently or not at all. Tonight a customer asked me how much the dances are, I told him that the dances are 25$. He then said to me "so you mean 35$?" I said no again and explained that the dances are really only 25$ tipping is not required. To which he replied "well I want to at least tip you ten, I wouldn't want to be lame...I'm not THAT guy..." I have customers who tip well and some that don't tip a dime (doesn't bother me in fact some of my favorites never tip after dances). Just pick one way or the other not a half assed attempt at tipping. 3$ dollars is an acceptable stage tip not so much for a dance.

    Hint, hinting?

    Trust me, the dancers will not be offended if you say, "How about a lap dance when you're through on stage? I'm sitting right over there." Then point to your table. Don't stay at the stage when your chosen dancer comes off the stage, go back to your table.

    Is this a rhetorical question? It's an SC; just walk to the rail, hand the dancer that interests you $5 or $10 or $20, and say, "If you want to do some dances, come find me when you're done with your set. I'm at the bar."

    Do you think they're going to say no to you?

    Christ on a bicycle, are there no aggressive men left in this world? Or are they all emasculated?
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    While I agree with you in spirit, I don't the problem is lack of aggression. I think the problem is that they want to feel sought out, and don't want to have "ask."

    What has always worked for me in getting the attention I want is three simple rules:

    1) Tip well.
    2) Be polite and smile.
    3) Be direct.

    Pass her $20 with a nice smile: "How are you tonight? I would love for you to join me when you are finishd up there. How does that sound?"

    Waiting for that one particular dancer to seek you out can waste a fair amount of the night.

    I agree with the tipping, I'm not sure I agree with the "lots". Why lots?

    To me the tip is based on the service provided. If i'm given a basic dance I only feel compelled to give a minimum tip. The more service given the higher the tip. That seems fair and reasonable to me. It's not just about the dancer, it's about me to.

    stage dancing I only tip $1.00 - $2.00, if I've talked to the girl and I like her and she's nice I have no problem with $5.00. I don't see the point in anymore of that.

    dances it depends minimum is 5.00, if she does more and doesn't have a problem with me touching her and that's touch her not grope her than $10.00.

    If they run a special like 3 dances for $30.00, I've ended up saving $30.00 so I'll split that with the dancer and give her $15.00 she got more and I saved some it seems to work out good.

    $100.00 vip dances minimum $20.00 and it can be more depending on what I get and how good the dance is.
    So basically for me if someone is going to give me the minimum then their going to get the minimum, simply because it's not worth anymore to me than that, if someone goes above and beyond they'll get more of a tip and essentially more of my money. I think that's fair.. The dancers want what's best for them, well I want whats best for me.
