    Undoubtedly the gentleman in question was unaware that it was rude to tip a dancer several dollars in quarters. Likely he meant no offense.

    Perhaps it might have been better if she had handed the quarters back to him and explained that to him. Screaming epithets in his face is unlikely to make him want to come back to that club and tip anyone folding money, especially that particular dancer.

    He might even tell some of his friends, and they might decide not to go there either. The satisfied customer tells a few people; the dissatisfied customer tells at least twenty.

    If it is so doggone important to the dancers, why not REQUIRE your club to put up a 6 foot long sign, stating "NO COIN GIFTS UNLESS THEY ARE SILVER DOLLARS".

    (Modify at will. Silver is worth many times what it was when silver was in coins. But it is heavy. Most are highly collectable too.)

    Yeah, I know $20 worth of quarters is heavy. That's what you get in $20 laundromat coin changers--pocket stretchers. But individually they weigh only a few grams each.)
    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.

    it all depends on how he did it, although i'd say you'll get a bad reaction from at least 75% of the dancers i know giving change as a tip. i wouldn't have screamed about it, but i would have brought up the fact that it could be considered offensive.


    on the other hand.. lay 50 cents down on the stage infront of me and watch what happens.

    I don't see the big deal. It wasn't super rude like 1 or 2 quarters, it was $4 worth. I'd just smile and go get bills at the bar. Geez.

    U.S. is still one of the major hold outs that cannot seem to adopt a dollar coin. Where are my international people at, back me up on this?

    How do other countries tip on stage? Maybe he was international? I know when I got to Canada I just tip in american dollars because I'm not going to tip $5 CAD same in Mexico I'm not going to tip $5 Pesos.

    Maybe the guy would have been wiser to just dump the unwanted quarters into the door girls tip jar thereby saving himself a bunch of grief.

    And I hope they never do, as should most men here in the U.S. We carry wallets and money clips, not coin purses after all.

    How do other countries tip on stage?
    Based on what our Canadian and Australian contingent have stated here, and what I've read on other sites...they don't tip on stage for the most part, (aside from the twonie tossing they do in Western Canada). Occasionally someone drops a larger bill.

    Tipping a dancer on stage is largely an American concept and the major reason it became so is because we have bill that small. Yet another reason we shouldn't get rid of the bills.

    Yeah, well, any stripper can tell you that singles get really bulky pretty quickly, so I know you're not keeping a bunch of $1s in that clip.

    I don't want quarters but hey, I'll take a silver dollar. That guy just wasn't thinking, was he? I'll tell you that we've all seen assholes who think they're being funny pitch change on stage, which is insulting.

    Became so what?

    That "small" bill was worth a lot more back in 1969 when it was still the tipping standard. Doc, tipping period is more prevalent in America than anywhere else, as are strip clubs. I don't think that you can lay it all on the existence of the $1 bill. And I've met you and you tip well, on dances at least! I just don't buy it when you keep insisting on the primacy of the single.

    Anyhow, my point is, no money in increments of less than $1. Even if it adds up to a dollar or more.

    No I would not accept quarters.

    It would start a bad precedent and these idiots might all start doing that.

    True in Australia there is pretty much no stage tipping. We do stage dances for $20 where we get nude. Sometimes someone might give u a $5 or $10 but not often.

    Yes, yes, yes! I have visited a few clubs in Canada and girls don't get shit on stage. Really makes me appreciate home!

    Tacky as it may have been for him to give her coins, it was even more tacky of the dancer to scream and throw a fit. She could have politely showed her dissatisfaction.

    However...he did not tip her this on stage, he did not do it to be rude, or as an insult. he was just giving away the last of his change on his way out the door. And it did add up for several dollars. It 's not liek he handed her 50 cents and said keep the change. I would have simply taken it to the bar and gotten the cash.

    Now...had he tipped quarters on stage, thats another story. I woudl not have accepted it. But this situation was different. He just grabbed a random stripper he wanted past and handed it to her. So I dont see the issue.

    Thank you for all the replies. This has really brought about some divergent opinions. It think this post sums it up best and understood the context of my silly friends actions.

    I get quarters from guys all the time. In some of the small clubs I work in guys are slow to tip the waitress, so when I tell them to give her a dollar, they are left with quarters on the table. Many ask me if I want them and I say yes. I save all my change except fo pennies in a jar, and deposit the money into my savings account so I am happy to have the change.

    Many of us have got to rethink the bad attitude we get in the club from time to time. Every customer is not rich. We are not rich. Many of us did not come from wealthy families, so who are we to be snobs.

    If on the other hand a guy throws quarters on stage or waves money in front of us and takes it back, we have every right to be pissed.

    A bad attitude and a position of entitlement is not going to make guys want to give us more money, is it? It may make them not want to paronize the club anymore either, which is bad for all of us.

    Yes, but you feature. I've been Brass Rail when it was packed and the girls barely get anything on stage.
