    Default Money is money isn't it?

    I've been dying to get a strippers perspective on this for a while. It's a funny story that happened to a friend of mine. Well, he didn't think it was so funny but I laughed so hard I almost fell down when I heard it. I chuckle now thinking about it, you'd have to know him and how sincere he was...

    Anyhow... He was visiting a SC a few years ago. He's not cheap or anything and I'm sure he had a fine time. Anyway, this place has a pool table away from the action and he was playing with his friend. They were ready to go and he was waiting for his friend by the door. He had maybe $3-4 in quarters since the pool table took quarters. As he waited for a friend one of the dancers walked by and he gave her his $3-4 in quarters and simply smiled. I don't remember if he said anything or not. He stood there waiting and a minute later the dancer comes back with her friend and they are pissed! They throw the quarters at him and begin screaming obscenities.

    He was embarrassed and confused as he was verbally assaulted by these two. The best he could gather was that they thought he was just giving them a few quarters as a tip. His view was that, hey they were happy to get dollar bills from me, what's the difference if it's quarters? And besides he wasn't even in the area where they dance, he was ready to leave.

    Any thoughts on this issue? I bring it up every now and then for a good laugh, but my friend cringes as it's a bad experience for him.

    OKay I am very surprised that you dont get why it's insulting for a dancer to be given quarters!

    (a) Where do you think she is going to put them? We usually carry our money in our garter

    (b) She is not even worth a dollar? We dont have dollar bills in Australia so our smallest bill is $5 and I find it insulting enough to be given that as our cheapest dance is $20

    We get paid hundreds of dollars per night so if a guy is that hard up for cash he prob needs it more than the dancer does anyway.

    Alot of dancer take offense to being given change.
    Its fair enough if its a small amount but some will even get pissed if its a decent amount of money. Everyone has their reasons the least being that change is awkward to carry, lol. Others will feel insulted by it. It sounds like your friend made an innocent mistake, he shouldnt worry too much about it, just remember the experience for next time and only tip notes (-:

    I agree with Jaizaine .. both on the 'where to put them' and 'not even worth a dollar' ... it's just an insult, like leaving a pile of change as a tip in a restaurant. I would think a waiter would be offended by that as well. Save your quarters for your laundry and give her bills .. geez

    You don't even want to know what happened to the last asshat that tried to tip me in quarters...

    It's not funny, and it's not clever. It's insulting, and I DO make a scene if some idiot tries to tip me in quarters during a show.

    ^^^^ yes we do Ginger tell the story please!

    It's not like strippers are broke beggers on the side of the street in need of small change LoL.

    A guy asked me on the weekend why clubs no longer had tipping dollars and how would he give me a dollar and I replied "it's ok darling you keep your money u obviously need it more than me"

    I think in this case the guy was about to leave and just had left over $. The impression I get is that he was just giving it away, not tipping tipping. And although i think it sucks - dont you have $1 tipping in the US - that was the perspective i took on it, that if it has been $3-$4 in notes he would have just given it in notes as he left but it wasnt. I dont think he meant $4 was a good amount to tip or anything, just whats the difference.

    I take it anyway if its not meant offensively, or even if it is I make a joke about it and use change at the bar.
    In Australia a handful of change can easilly add up to $20 or more because we have $1 and $2 coins.

    I always carried a small purse around with gloss, cigs, condoms ( ) etc...so if a guy wanted to give me $4 in quarters just for passing by and smiling, I would have been happy to accept them. Those tollway rides home aren't cheap!

    As long as they aren't throwing them, and as long as its more than $1 worth, wouldn't bother me....

    This just came to me:

    " Money is money isn't it? "

    True. And what are quarters? CHANGE. Not something a paycheck comes in, not something you go grocery shopping with, not something you buy a new pair of D&G strappy sandals with, not something you pay rent with .. I think the amount isn't the point. It's still what's sitting under your couch cushions, not what you protect inside your bank vault.

    ummm.... if someone tips me a few sacagaewea's or susan b's on the stage i'd happily take them. and go steal that guy for a dance before he does it to another dancer who thinks they're quaters and kicks his head. ultimately it's value that counts.

    I would definitely take it. He was at the pool tables and getting ready to go home for chrissakes! It's not like he was throwing it at you while you were on stage or otherwise being disrespectful. It's fairly common to get one dollar tips on the main or side stages here-he didn't give her one dollar, it was four. Hell, I'd take it with no qualms whatsoever!

    I'd give it to a waitress in that case.... but it is rude.

    the last guy who tipped me in change got a quarter between the eyes!

    ^^^ agreed. I totally understand being pissed if someone tips in change but only when it's under a $1. I remember being a barista and quarters realy do add up. (also, fill one of those $10 rolls and you will pack a killer punch) Plus I take the metro everyehwere and I sure as shit dont want to break a $1 or a $5 so I can put 5 cents on a metro card to get out of the station... I think quarters are great, and I never have them and always need them. I hate asking the bar to break bills so I can play pool. So I can see where it is a huge insult but 1) it's not like it was 4 bux in pennies and 2) I'd rather get his $4 for walking by than not getting it at all. To me money is money is change is money is somthing to buy stuff with... But I like money so...

    I dunno.. to me money is money. I would just take them to the bar and change them into bills.

    When I play the loonie game I get tossed quarters as well as dollar and two dollar coins. I cash them in at the bar after.

    I'll take quarters. I had a guy claim all he had was quarters. I held out my garter and told him to put them in there. I actually made a good chunk of money because his buddies tipped me fives and such for being cool and "about my money". The OP is right. Money is money.

    one time this guy had been tipping me every time i went on stage,well at the end of the night in the middle of my set he left,then came back before my set was over and put $5 in quarters on the rack he told me that he ran out of money and hurried to his car to grab his laundry money he just HAD to give me ALL of his money

    i thought it was kinda sweet

    I'd take your money and thank you-i can't stuff notes in the drink machine at uni
    but the dancer may not have thought it was as much money as it was.
    As long as you don't chuck it at her when she's on stage lol.

    I don't agree. Im NOT trying to be purposely argumentative but I dont need to make every dollar that I can possibly make at work. I dont need the extra few dollars that much. I even know one dancer at my club who refuses $10 bills just because she finds that insulting - I dont go this far but I think Im too good for change. I have had custies try to give me change to pay for a dance and Ill send them to the bar to change it.

    Hmm.
    In a way - obviously money is money. I can't say I'd be thrilled about being offered a tip in change, though. Well, a toonie is quaint; quarters... but, I mean, I sue quarters. I spend quarters. I take the subway and do laundry and stuff. Occasionally buy a candy bar.

    I don't know. I mean, it's not a problem BECAUSE most guys don't do it - but could you imagine if guys kept giving us quarters all night? I mean, getting the occasional quarter in a loonie toss is one thing; having them in your purse or getting them onstage, or having a guy dig out 20 quarters to pay for a dance (well, part of a dance) - something else.

    I'm unsure on the quarter issue. Honestly, I don't think I'd want them. However I can agree with other girls that it is not a screaming offence.

    Hmmm...that is where I diverged. I didn't dance that often, and its not like many of the guys in there have any respect for the strippers as is. I'd take everything I got!

    Money is money.

    I've seen multi-billion dollar companies spend a dozen hours to argue a $20 charge on projects where they've netted millions.

    When it comes to money, pride is overrated.

    I'd have gone to the waitress to make some "reverse change" myself, of course, I've never needed anything in a SC that required use of coins in the first place. There are cheaper and more practical places than a SC to play pool.

    Coins are a pain to have in my pocket. I deliberately attempt to mitigate their presence in there. If I buy something for $18.63 and I have 63 cents in change, or even 65 cents, I hand the change to the cashier to get rid of it, rather than only hand over bills and get 37 cents back.

    So I can't imagine dancers (who usually are dealing in transactions that are mostly in multiple dollar increments) like getting them either, particularly in situations where tipping with coins isn't customary.

    What a divergence of opinion here! To me this appears to be a good test for finding a stripper who is realistic and not too high and mighty.

    Give me a break!! If you get too many ones, take it to the bar and exchange for 20s etc. In this case it was a few quarters that could easily be changed for a few bills. Too important to take a GIFT! Indeed.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
