I wish that this behavior wasn't so unusual I had to write about it! Last night I was working at my little downtown bar. It was a weeknight, and as such an older, spendier crowd than we get on the weekends, when the tourists and young 'uns roll in. It was nice.
Then about 40 minutes before closing time, this group of youngsters walks in; it's four guys and two girls, and I'm thinking, "Oh, great. fucking tourists." They sit at a back table which doesn't bode well for tipping.
But after their drinks come, they move to the stageside seats. I'm still skeptical, because, well, mixed group, young -- generally that does not bode well, anywhere. However, these kids were just great. They started tipping $5s, the girls were having a blast without acting fools, and it turned out to be, for most of them, a first visit to a strip club (it was a 21st birthday). They just couldn't have been any nicer and I must have made $70 from them on my last set of the night.
So anyhow, thanks, kids! You set a stellar example that I wish all mixed, young groups would follow in the club. You were polite and funny and sweet and tipped well! Someone trained you right. Perhaps one of you was at hearts' stageside tutorial last week.
