  I've gotten a lot of lapdances, and I've never tipped a stripper. None of the strippers I've interacted have a problem with me not tipping. I've never seen a mad or disappointed expression on a stripper's face after I don't tip. I understand a lot of guys tip, but not me.

  She is apparently NOT an Extras Stripper. She won't be getting my business. I've never tipped on Straight Lap Dances, and NEVER EVER had a dancer complain. Extras are a different matter.

  All those air dances many of us on here complain of: maybe BrandyJane's number 4 explains some of them. LOL Maybe strippers should tip those of us who smell good?

  "It is extremely rude not to tip for a lap dance or VIP and I will tell the other dancers. Now, if you are really nice the whole time and I can actually see that you are physically out of money that is one thing, but just being really rude about it is another. No dancers get paid by their clubs, and we always pay the club part of what we make on dances. At my current club this fee can sometimes be more than the dance you did, depending on which dance you're paying the fee on. Anyway, just give the girl a tip! Can you imagine how disrespected you would feel if you just spent 15 or more minutes giving a guy a good time, and a boner, and then he doesn't even feel you deserve a tip? Think about it, you tip a waitress and all she does is bring you food, and she gets paid hourly! Dancers don't!" When you get paid $2.13 an hour. You can then make that complaint.

  What bothers me sooooo damn much about point 2 is that she feels entitled to it. I will not tip a waitress if the service was bad, I dont tip the cable repair guy because he did a fucking awesome job redoing the cabling to the house. If I tip and I didnt blow a load it wouldnt be anything but to the nearest 5 and it would be done on say 4+ dances. If I get great service and I negotiated for a block of dances eg normal 10/song and you get 40/5 then I will settle up at the full normal price. That has served me well. Number 4 maybe you should douse yourself in more whore juice perfume and rotate through them so you dont get used to just one. Sorry that was a passive aggressive dig at your coworkers. If a guy is stinky then give the jackass a subpar dance fuck him. Or charge him more for being a dirty bastard then jiggle, take his money, and leave. point 5: If a dancer is doing something I dont like it is too late, I am done. The only thing I will tell you is to fuck off. Sure you cant please them all, but stick doing what you do. Two people sitting there faking it is a waste of time and money. Point 3: Guys are simple creatures not to many of us are nearly as eloquent as strippers when it comes to chit chat. So in the future when an older guy says do you like oral? cut him off at the pass by saying hell quote me on this "Its not like I haven't had my fair share, Its just well I find the prospect of a tongue moving around just plain icky and therefore can not relax enough to enjoy it." or this would kill it too I got mad warts and herpes and it always gives me a flair up when someone goes down on me. Be cleaver us guys are easily dissuaded when dealing with superior language skills. My guess is he is feeling you out to see if you will be up for more; I also guess this occurs before the no means no stage in the chain of events. and Lastly my addressing of point number 1, No Never means no it always means Not right now, not with you, or I dont have enough information to say yes. And to complain about the why/ why not If because I dont want to isnt enough you have 2 options One is to get up and leave two make shit up be mean about it or be nice about it hell I just thought of another way to kill the old guys line of questioning. Old guy: You like oral? Stripper: giving yes, getting hell no! Old guy: You just havent had a silver fox mustache ride! Stripper: On the contrary my step dad used to give them to me all the time from ages 14 to 17 that is until the police took him away and put him in prison. LOOOOK it totally works! He isnt going to ask you about it any more and he will now take no for an answer and the best part is it was allllllll bulllllshit!

  1-4 are ways to improve the dancer's experience, not the patrons. #5 is legitimate advice to improve a customer's experience, though it is pretty much common sense. Better title for post should be: "Rants from an irritated stripper"

  Except for the tipping remark, the other points seem to be rather common sense. I think the way the dancer wrote the article comes across as someone with a chip on their shoulder. Doesn't sound like she really enjoys this kind of work. As for the unkept customers, I also deal with the public on a daily basis. I may not like their smell, appearance, etc but it is my job to deal with it. In the dancer's case she is probably getting between $10 and $30 for 3-5 minutes of work, not a bad wage. She should learn to tolerate some of this and reign in the obvious hostility. I am sure there are plenty of jobs that pay a LOT less where she would not have to put up with unappealing customers. The choice is hers. As for the tipping remarks, the dancer is way out of line. Tipping is reserved for exceptional service and TOTALLY at the discretion of the PAYING customer. You are not entitled to a tip for any dance you give. If you are not satisfied with the price you receive for dances (after any house cut) then find another club or profession. While I always enjoy the input form dancers on TUSCL I don't have much use for those who don't understand what "customer service" is. Requiring a tip is certainly not good customer service.

  I always find these discussion/ articles odd. Some of them are useful information but other informations are kind of useless to us TUSCL members to be honest. Its like a QB telling the opponents defence on where to blitz, where not to blitz, the difference between a cover 2 and cover 3 scheme, where to hit and not to hit the QB. Still though I respect you for giving us advice.

  I concur with ranukum, jackslash, PussyLick, shadowcat, and snowtime. The article was too much of a rant and not enough of constructive criticism on how to get more enjoyment from your strip club dollar. On the subject of tipping, I'm not a tipper either. I feel that $20. for two and a half minutes of fun is plenty to pay for entertainment. If I liked the dance I just got, I'll get more than one. If I really liked the dancer, I'll become a regular of hers. If she asks for a tip, it'll likely be the last time I ever get a dance with her. It's her choice as to whether she wants a tip and sees me for the last time, or develops me as a regular, and makes far more money over the long haul, than the one tip she attempted to get me to give her.

  Re #3: Come visit my CF/ATF/SB. She'll show you what you're missing. I've seen her in action. You'll stop with the ""I don't like a wet slobbery nasty tongue all over my pussy" and start with the "uh, uh, uh, uh, please, uh, don't, uh, stooopppppp, nnnngggggngngngngngn, ohhhhh god, I'm cummmmmmiiinnnnngngg!"

  Dancers at The Coliseum in Detroit, Michigan routinely demand tips. It's rude and, in my case, unnecessary. I always get three dances (no extras) and pay for four--that's the tip. When I hear a demand for a tip after that, which often happens at this club, I drop that dancer from any further consideration for my business. One of my recent "exes" confronted me and DEMANDED an explanation. I gave her my reasons and she denied that she ever tried to hustle me for tips on top of tips. This is not an isolated event; rather, it is becoming part of what customers have to navigate.

  I would say that #4 is very valid. For best mileage during dances, you should always take a shower right before going out. Put on some nice, but not too intrusive cologne and you should be set.

  I have been to strip clubs in about 40 states. I don't tip and at the regular places where I live I have never heard one of the dancers complaining about it. The LD typically are $20 and the dancer keeps half. We have a club that the dancers love because the LD is $25 and the dancer keeps $15. I am not sure about Ohio but in most circumstances for a regular LD, no tip should be required. I places that offer extras, it is really not a tip but payment for the extra. Between $6 beers and the dollar parade I would say we have paid sufficient.

  IMHO if a Dancer EXPECTS a tip for a straight Lap Dance, then she should/must mention it prior to entering the dance area. That way I can politely decline & find a Dancer who DOESN'T expect a tip for a straight Lap Dance session. I tip well for VIP Extras, NOT Lap Dances.

  Brandy as to #3 with your attitude you would never get past the first lap dance with most guys other than some PL. As to the rest these are Items we have heard before. Showering goes both ways tell your coworkers to wash that thang once in a while so it doesn't smell like sour milk in the sun.

  I have to agree with the comments about the tip. Hypothetical: You charge $30 for a dance and think it's rude if you don't get a $10 tip (two even 20's). Just charge $40 for the dance if you want $40. Don't compare yourself to a waitress. A waitress gets a tip based on the atmosphere and experience she provides us as the middle-man when we buy a service. Patrons don't tip the owner, they tip the waitress. A dancer provides the service to patrons. The dancer is not the middle-man like a waitress is. The dancer is the owner of the service. The club (your cut that goes out to the manager, etc) is just like the landlord. You pay your fee to provide your service in the building.

  Alright, I'll be the rare dissenting opinion here. I "usually" tip...whether just a simple lap dance or something more interactive. The only time I "don't" is if I feel hustled. And by "hustled"...I mean, if you say 3 songs and you start dancing at the end of a song an count it...hustle. or if you promise that the lap dance is gonna blow my mind and it literally makes my cock bored...hustle. And strippers...its not that simple. Guys tip based on whether they feel like you went above and beyond the call of duty. If you air dance or lecture him about touching rules or give off the vibe that you'd rather be somewhere else...don't expect tips. You're selling a fantasy, whether extras are involved or not. The strippers that have made the most off me are not always the ones that do the most...but the ones who make me feel like they actually "like" me. Sell the fantasy.

  I *usually* tip as well, but my preferred lap dance is replete with fondling and groping. I figure letting me play deserves something a little extra.
• Morrow

  This has all pretty much been said above, but I need to chime in on the tipping... I never tip for dances either. The cheapest dances around are $20 per song, and some clubs are more than that. If you feel you deserve more than $20 per 4 to 5 minutes, you might want to re-assess. If you sell 3 dances per hour (and if you can't then you should find another job), then you're making $60 per hour. If you work a light shift, say only 6 hours, that's $360. Ok, you have to pay a house fee, tip out the DJ, etc. Total, at different clubs, that amount can vary. Or maybe you have to give $5 out of every dance to the club. If you have a very high house fee/tip-out, maybe you're paying $100/night. That still leaves you with $260 for the night. (Even if you had to pay $5 per dance, you're still left with over $200, even after tip-outs.) And that's assuming you only work for 6 hours, so you've got two hours of dead time built into an 8-hour shift. You're making over $1000 per week! And the math above is all based on a very relaxed, easy night, or very slow business. And you're complaining about no tip? Don't get me wrong, I've seen dancers who don't sell as many dances as I've described above. There are a few possible reasons for that. 1) Too lazy to do it - Ok, try working at your job 2) Not attractive enough - Ok, making lots of money is possible for a hot woman, but if you're not hot, it won't work. Give up the fantasy & find a different job. 3) There just isn't enough business at the club - Ok, go elsewhere or recognize that there isn't enough demand in your area as compared to the supply. If you're the one not making the money, then see #1 or #2, above. And one more thing... Don't try to make your point within earshot of the waitress you talked about. She might claw your eyes out.

  Got to agree, the notion of "mandatory" tipping tends to put one off, even though I normally tip anyway when I get multiple-song sessions or a very good dance (particularly if I know the club in question takes a larger bite out of her money). But that's a preference of mine, not somethign I feel is a general obligation.
• Stiletto25

  While you wont get any disagreement with me over the fact that $20 a song is alot of money, I will say that its reasonable. Shit, I charge $30. Thats why, MORROW (yes, Im talking specifically to you), who are you to tell me I need to re-assess if I expect that? We are selling our bodies for you to touch. How much is your body worth? $5...Hmmm yeah, my self esteem is higher than that, not by much but I got $30 worth of it. As far as your calculations go, who are you to tell me what is enough money? Your saying charging over $20 and the girl should re-assess then you go into your shitty calculations about how much we should be taking in. If you don't want to pay a certain amount, find a girl who charges what you want to pay. There are plenty of cheap dances out there.

  bj- Did you mean to post your essay on [view link] in "ladies only" rant section ? Because this is how your post reads- as a rant, not a guide on how we stripclub patrons can have a more enjoyable visit. But, some points raised have some discussion merit, here goes: #2- "Extremely rude not to tip" ? Huh ?? IMO, tipping is discretionary, not an entitlement. Buying dances beyond one, and paying standard lapdance price for extra dances (be they 1, 10 more, whatever) is a tip in that dancer gets extra business. In most businesses, buying greater quantitities of something would result in buyer getting a volume discount. To wit, buying a gallon of milk would result in a lower per pint cost vs someone who just bought a pint. Likewise, a group booking a convention would get a lower per room rate than a single Joe Schmoe walking off the street booking a single room for just himself. Plus, the conservative $60/hr figure quoted in example is more than a lot of people in "staraight jobs" make. Plumbers, A/C repairmen, freelance mechanics are often independent contractors like dancers are- do you tip above the standard rate for a job they do ? #4- A good point even for individual clubgoers. Common sense hygiene goes a long way. Bad dancer odors is rarely a problem. If anything, dancer overkill in perfume, body rouge(sp?? I've had more than a few shirts smeared with pinkish body paste, whatever)is more of a problem than poor hygiene in dancers. #5- Glad to hear you're coachable, not so with many dancers, unfortunately. Many are set in their ways, or just too mechanical, period.

  If I was dancing on a ten dollar a dance club, I'd ask for a tip otherwise it's optional. Sometimes, I had gotten them without asking for them.

  @Stilleto: While Morrow might have been saying that any dancer expecting more than $20/song should re-assess, I think most of the guys here are simply saying that they want to know up front what the cost a dance will be before making the purchase. Since the dancer is setting the price, it is unreasonable for her to expect a tip on top of the price she set. Just as you do, if brandyjane believes her dances are worth $XX/song she should tell her customers that price. What she appears to do is quote a price that is less and then become upset when the customers don't tip her up to her perceived value. The exception would be a club where dancers aren't permitted to set their own dance prices. There's a club in Portland that has signs posted with the various dance prices plus a sign that says "See the management if you're asked for more than the posted prices." In a place like that I could understand a dancer being disappointed if she provided exceptional service and didn't receive a tip.
• Morrow

  Well said, dtek. And Stiletto25, you're right, I mis-spoke. I should have said that if you're not happy with what you're able to make, then you should re-assess whether you really want to be in the business. But as dtek pointed out, it'd be one thing to agree on a price in advance, and another to expect the tip. I mentioned above that I never tip. But several months ago, I did spend some time with a dancer in the VIP, even though she charged more than the normal rate for that club, because we agreed on it in advance, and I was really hot for her. Brandyjane simply needs to be honest and up-front with her customers, and honest with herself about whether or not she wants to be in the business.

  I have no problem with what anyone has said about tipping, which is why I said nothing about tipping. At my dance prices, I dont care if someone tips or not. If you go back and read through my comments (I dont expect that though because it would take forever ), you would see that on more than one occasion I have always been an advocate of discussing prices up front. Im not sure why dtek felt the need to explain to me what all the other guys on this thread meant. I wasnt addressing them in my comment. If I had an opinion or a question about what anyone on the thread was saying about tipping, I would have addressed it.

  s25- Just for the hell of it, I went back 3-5 pages of your posts. I didn't find any post where you advocated "upfront upcharging" on a prospect. I did stumble across a post that puts your 911 post in its perspective. I guess having 3 weekly sugar daddies puts you in a position of working your shifts as a hobby. Bravo for you if you can pull off what you do. Not every dancer has that luxury. Most stripclub goers (including some who can "carry the freight") expect value for the cash outlay. Just don't expect us to fall for the upcharge when your sugar daddy well runs dry.

  Yeah, no question this girl is exactly the kind of dancer you want to avoid. The "rude not to tip" comment is just the kind of harebrained nonsense that gives strippers a bad name. But what I find a tiny bit interesting is Stiletto's comment saying she charges $30 for a lap dance. Really? Can't really tell from her photos, but if any of you guys in the northwest know of her, is she hot? Cuz from what little I could see in the photos she ain't all that. Looks like a fairly average blonde. But I could be wrong. But she seems like a sharp lady. Though I think the line of wimps posting "nose up her ass", sniveling praises in her profile is kinda funny. Geez, guys, show a little self respect. Anyway, good for her if she can get guys to pay $30 for 3 minutes with her. Personally, I think any guy who pays $30 for a freakin' lap dance should be brought up on charges of stupidity. Well, unless it was an insanely hot dancer, and the dance lasted 10 minutes, and she jacked you off the whole time.

  none of her points actually will make my experience better.. this is why so many dancers get disrepsected because dumb shit that comes out their mouths... you are providing a service you arent entitled to any extra i give my barber a tip because he does a good job. however i dont give my mechanic a tip for fixing my car.. he did what he was suppose to do . no is rare that it means no ... i find it funny that she wants to be rude to the customer that is giving her money out THEIR hard earned money but expects them to approach her and be polite when shes doing something wrong.. hopefully she gets together or chooses not to be a dancer anymore.. id hate to run into her

  No, really Stiletto, I think you're probably a pretty cool girl. I'm just wondering how hot you are, and why guys would pay that kind of money. All I'm going by is a couple of cut off photos that don't do you justice. I could be way off. I'm just kinda interested. Y'know, like girls get interested in mysterious guys based on some rumor they heard, but they're not really sure, stuff like that. It's like a mystery, and... Hold on... Bucca, I just noticed your avatar or whatever, the picture of the chick's ass in a schoolgirl miniskirt. Damn that's hot. Now that would be awesome getting a nasty lapdance from that, especially if she had no panties. And one of those tight, button down shirts, kind see thru with no bra. Damn. What were we talking about?

  Jerikson, if i could give you better pics, I would, but I'd like to stay anonymous and I wont if I show my face. As far as being hot, there are alot of people who would call me hot but alot of people think Brad Pitt is hot and I wouldn't touch his ugly ass with a ten foot pole. Everyones idea of hot is different. As far as the high dance prices, I rarely get someone who disputes my dance prices. I have a few customers that think they are too cheap, but they like to spoil and spend money. I also cater more to the GFE crowd. Some will pay me just to talk to them. That clientele tends to spend more money.

I thought it was instant cream for just about all women. Anyway, probably same with me thinking Angelina is a skinny, scraggy, scarecrow lookin' pale hag. Pretty face with all the makeup, though. Oh, and you have "clientele"? That leaves me out. I'm not that high class.

  I think Dougster might know hot she is. He said he's met her many times. I am kind of interested. You've got to be a 9 or 10 to be able to pull off charging 30 bucks a lap dance where I assume the other dancers in that club charge 20 or 25 bucks, and to top it off people pay her just for her talking to them? Dougster I need your insight.

  Jerikson- I will still dance with people who spend $40. Im not that stuck up. I have got some good regulars but that doesnt mean I dont like regular guys. And yes, Brad bothers me....so does Johnny Depp. I cant figure out the hype surrounding that one either. Ranukam- I have no doubt I've met Dougster but I'm not sure if he actually knows who I am. I dont know who he is but if he and I frequent the same clubs, chances are we have run into eachother. I dont care what he thinks of my looks. Id be more concerned about if he had a good experience with his dances. Good looking girls dont always give great dances. I would like to think I put the extra effort in to make a person feel special. Body tastes are so different though. If you like spinners, you wont like me. I weigh 127 lbs and I have natural D breasts and a 24 inch waist. I have hips and an ass and very fit legs. I could probably crush someone with them. Ill never be 90 lbs. Id look near death.

  jerikson- You asked the question not me lol. I'm starting to have a strange feeling I might know she is. One of the clubs she has reviewed I am a frequent visitor at that club, and her description of herself matches to a tee one of the girls working at that club. From what I can see in her pics, they are eeriely similar to that girl in the club. If she's who I think she is, I could definitely see her charging 30 bucks for a lap dance and guys paying her just to talk to them because that girl is an absolute 10. Even if she wasn't your type, you couldn't deny her hotness. Then again it might just be a coincidence....

  Really?? A "10". Okay, dude, you can't just throw stuff like "a 10" around. That's serious business. A 10 is the stratosphere, the kind of chick who takes your breath away and makes grown men cry, the kind of chick who makes you cum in your pants just by looking at her. Yeah, she sounds okay, especially with the "fit legs" and tiny waist (I am so into really hot, toned legs and high heels...). But a "10"? Guess I'll never know. But anyway, you guys who pay $30 for a lap dance need to get a smack upside the head. It's just wrong. And Stiletto, how 'bout just a good photograph of your legs in a pair of high heels. :)

Although, those remote controlled helicopters you see in the mall are pretty cool.... Naw, legs are better. Thank you Stiletto, for even considering. That's very nice of you.

  @jerikson40, Don't be so dismissive of the intelligence of guys willing to pay more than $20/song for a lap dance. My first lap dance experience was in a now closed club in Stiletto25's stomping grounds - Honey's in Everett. The price was $40/song. Much more than a simple dance was offered (and accepted) for that $40 fee. That experience got me hooked on this hobby. I have since paid much more and also much less than $20 for lap dances. Now, I am an ill-educated old hillbilly from the gritty 'tools' of the oil patch. And, at my elderly age, I am smart enough to recognize the time-value equation of money spent. For a 63 year old bugger like me with death staring back at me from the mirror, a $50 lap dance can be stunning value.

  No, you're right Art, my only bitch is because I'm a cheap SOB, and I have an axe to grind with the guys who pay high prices and screw it for the rest of us. And the low value, high priced "gentlemen's clubs" who are out to suck every penny out of your wallet. These guys who pay $40 for airdances, and the guys who gladly pay $150 for VIP's and then fork over the same amount in tips, it makes the clubs think they can charge astronomical fees for stuff. In LA there are a bunch of high mileage lap dance clubs for $10 and $15 each, and they're doing a good business. I'm the kind of guy who thinks we should all decide to patronize the high value clubs and tell the others to fuck off. But if the laps are worth it, like some clubs here where they're 3 for $40 or whatever and very high mileage, then fine. I go for value. If it's expensive, but high value, then fine. If it's expensive, and no value, move on.

  sounds like everything has been said that needs to be said. I don't know where this chick is from, but if she EXPECTS tips in her local area, then that means she's used to high profile clients coming through and not your regular run of the mill middle class man. But #4 made me laugh. How did that guy even get through the front door. I thought it was a UNIVERSAL RULE that you had to have good hygiene to get in the club. I know its definitely like that in NY state. Yeah, your a cool chica, because that wouldn't be me (if I was a stripper)

  Ok, I'll only say the good things. Stiletto was hot during our time together. Her dances are good. I won't say any more regarding dances, etc. because her and her psycho puppy dog will freak like they did last time. Stiletto is also well educated and, as you will have noticed from her posting on the board intelligent. She also listens to what her customers have to say, and is empathetic. She is also fairly ethical as far as strippers go, but I have detected a change in her outlook from the time I knew her and especially since she started posting here. She also has a few other tricks to hook regulars, but I think the main thing is that she is pretty close to being a normal woman that'hooks her regulars. I am 100% that I know it is here because one of her stories on here matched exactly something she told me on person an that no other dancer told me. Anyways a pretty decent person, and I don't want to blow my anonymity which is why I have no desire to get into a big conflict with her here or in person and end up with MAD. (Now the few not so good things about her I will keep to myself.)

  I think you meant to say "How to improve my shifts at work". Hope that helps.

  I did not tip at any point in my first club visit, but occasionally, I'll run into a girl that's so amazing or worked so hard, I just gotta tip. Always carry ones; not necessarily to check out the girls on the stages for potential dances later (though there is that), but just to give a little boost to a lady that really made your night. That's just IMO.

  I don't usually tip stripers for lap dances especially at $20 each. The money for the dance is a tip in itself. I usually tip them for sitting at my table and leting me feel them or laying on couch with me in VIP so I can feel them.... I may tip on a FS / CFS extra if the gal got me off real good. I might negotiate the extra for $160 ("I want sex, my offer is $160.") Then if its really good and she gets me off I give her $200.

  No does mean no - No i will not tip for a canned or crappy time in VIP. And yes, i will tell my friends about dancers who give them. Tips are for good performance, not average.

  Clearly the author mistakenly used the wrong word in the title of this article. Instead of "your" it should say "my". Lol

  Btw brandyjane... You can only get VIP membership when you post a "review" for a club. Not articles.

  brandy, i got to say i agree with most of what the fellas have said, especially about tipping. if a guy does dances with me and is nice about it, i'm happy. if he acts like a jerk then hey - at least tip me for putting up with that. at the same time, guys, i think what brandy is saying is that if you treat her the way she wants to be treated, she'll treat you the way you want to be treated. so, it really is about improving your experience, too.

  I don't mind offering an extra 20%or so for a tip, but if the dancer asks for the tip, then I usually offer only an extra 10% and then never go back to her. When the dancer asks for a tip before I even open my wallet, she makes me feel as though she thinks I'm not gentleman enough to tip. You go from feeling like a proud guy to an inconsiderate bastard when they ask for the tip.

  I usually tip, if the 'no' is interpreted liberally :-). There are many shades of 'no'. From 'ehh', to 'I'm not supposed to do that', over 'the club does not allow', to the pertty clear ones. For me, it's all about 'treat the ladies well', so you will be treated well.

  Tipping,smipping.Why do some dancers believe the customer is at work/has specific duties at a strip club?A patron's only responsibility is to enjoy himself,to be entertained.If your not making good tips as a dancer that night;get naked,go on stage,and holler out "Are you not entertained!"Other than that,dancers,please remember money received at these places are from the entertainment/companionship of said patrons not your "ideas" of what you "think" you should get paid.If you believe I am wrong in my analysis,take your "ideas" and what you "expect to get paid/tipped",deposit it in the bank,and see if you get an earnings statement or a WTF letter stating that in reality,nothing from nothing is nothing.This is a patrons rant!!

  Unless your dances suck I usually will feel you out with a dance, as a service if its sucks I don't tip. When taking you private for an hour or two I don't normally tip either...not to say I haven't made it rain for my regulars 400 plus stage tip for fun. But tipping is the exception not the norm...too many poorly excited dances have been ended early with a girl then asking for a tip.

  Routine tipping is stupid, should be included in the price. If you are not waited on properly in a restaurant, your meal should be free. Minimum wage for everyone should be north of US$10 an hour. Dancers should set their own prices, and include any "minimum" tip.

  99% of the customers i work with automatically tip bc they know that up to half of the money i'm making goes to the club. maybe its different around here but tipping is the norm. we aren't allowed to charge more than club prices for dances or vips
