I've had this same scenario over and over, I'm sure all of you have too. I just wanted to share with you this customer from Saturday night. This guy comes up to me while I'm on stage, asks me to come over to his table to dance for one of his clients that he was there to entertain. I said "sure, I'd be happy to" as he's opening his wallet, going through his money to tip me I see him go through the 10's and then 5's and he pulls out a whole dollar and tips me. He asks me what my name is, I tell him and he says "Is that your real name?" I lie and say yes (I tell customers my stage and real name is the same).
Well, needless to say I got busy with other customers that were tipping me a lot more on stage. I always approach the ones that tip me the most first. Well about 30 min later when I was up on the next stage the same guy came up to me while I was on stage and was very ill with me. "I asked you to come over to dance for my clients and you never came, blah, blah, now they're in the back with some other dancer". I apologized and I told him I got busy and couldn't find where he was sitting (which was true) but since I know where he is I can go right now. He then proceeds to tell me "well it's too late now because the dance was for my client and they're with someone else now", all while getting more and more angry with me (this is while I"m getting dressed & about to get off stage). I said to him " I don't appreciate the attitude you're giving me" so then he changes his tone and says "I feel bad about it that they're with someone else" and so I said "that's ok, I'm sure they're having a great time" and I walked off while he was still moving his lips.
I don't understand why customers get so upset like that. I mean first of all if he wanted me that bad then freakin tip me more than a buck for crying out loud! If you want me that bad tip me a 20! So not only does he tip me only a buck while weeding through all the money in his wallet, he asks me if that's my real name! IMO that just had cheapass all over it! That crap drives me crazy customers ask you to come over and dance for them, they either don't tip you or tip you only a $1 and then get all pissed at you because you don't hightail to get over there! Sometimes even just 10 min will go by and they're getting pissed off that you didn't drop what you were doing to immediately go talk to them. Or the ones that start demanding you get off stage right now to dance for them and then say "yeah right" when you tell them you can't just walk off of stage that you have to stay up there for a certain amount of time. Ughhh!!!! ok end of rant. thanks for listening and any comments!![]()

Then the drunk guy came up and started yelling at me when I was on the back stage about how I never came back to him. I just looked at him and said "you only tipped me a dollar." So he threw a penny at me. I guess he expected a reaction out of me, but I just laughed. And I laughed even harder when he tried to walk away--and tripped over a chair and did a faceplant on the floor.
