I have called strip clubs twice to ask if a certain dancer was working. The first time was at Dreamgirls, which is notorious for charging $10 cover charge even at 11am on a Monday with no dancers there yet or 10 minutes before closing. Anyways, the door guy who answered lied and said she was working. When I got there and paid the $10 cover, I asked a floor manager for her. He went back in the locker room and checked. He then came out and told me she was not on the schedule and unless she was a feature she would be on the schedule. Also while I was sitting down having a drink, I asked a couple dancers who came by asking for a dance if they had seen her. They confirmed what the floor manager told me that she no longer works there. I left without complaining and headed to kahoot's and sure enough there she was working.
Another time I called Vanity and asked if a dancer worked there. She gave me some prissy attitude and told me she was not allowed to tell me. I ended up going there myself at a later date and asked a couple dancers and they both told me they never heard of her before.
I do have a few dancer's phone numbers and they are pretty good about getting back to me to let me know when they work. If a dancer only shows interest in letting me know when she works and not when she is available for OTC, I get ROB suspicion.
