Ok, I'm a real newbie when it comes to SCs. I've only ever been to 2 in Montreal (which I enjoyed a lot!)
Curiosity has overcome me and I've been browsing SW for a while now, but I have some questions. I've read a lot about etiquette and things that I never knew before I came here and didn't realize that they were common knowledge.
My main question is about watching the stage show. From what I've read, my basic understanding is that if you're looking at the girls, you should be tipping them. So if you're watching the stage show, you should be tipping the stage.
I feel bad now about my Montreal experience, because I honestly didn't know that. I was quite naive and thought that strippers got paid to work (not just tips.) I was there with my fiance and 2 friends. At the first club, we sat 1 table away from the rail and watched the stage show for a while, then got a table dance from one of the girls that we particularily liked. We tipped the table dancer, but didn't tip the stage at all. At the second club we bought a "VIP package" that had us in a big booth-type table a ways back from the stage, but still with a good view. Not a private VIP booth kinda thing. We got a table dance there and tipped that dancer, but again didn't walk up to the stage to tip it every time a new dancer came on.
So I guess to make a short story long: Is it expected to tip every girl that comes on stage while you're watching? Even if you're not sitting at the rail? And since I'm in Canada and our smallest bill is a $5, does that mean that a minimum of $5 should be tipped every time? I'm just curious, because I want to check out a strip club here in NS at some point, but after spending some time browsing SW I'm worried about doing the wrong thing!
Thanks for your help!
