What Makes a Dancer Hide Out .....
m00tpoint
In another thread, Che mentioned that he has had dancers "hide out" with him to avoid dancing or contact with other customers. We have had the same thing happen to us. So, here's the question: What type of customer makes a dancer (or you as a dancer for the entertainers on here) "hide out?"

I have heard stories of dancers hiding out because a customer/boyfriend/father came into the club who is someone that the dancer was embarrassed to let it be known that she worked as a stripper. Two stories that I witnessed:
1. A dancer's favorite high school teacher came into the club where she worked. She was on stage at the time he came in. He even asked her for a dance. She was so embarrassed that she found a way to sneak out of the club without him seeing, after she got off stage. (The Strip Joint, Pomona, CA)
2. A dancer's former high school classmate came in with a table full of friends. She was already nude on stage when she noticed them. (Rick's, Seattle, WA)
I was avoided once by a dancer, likely because she knew she owed me money. I knew she was in the club and I stayed for three hours anyway. I hope she enjoyed being holed up in the dressing room during that time. (Rick's, Seattle, WA)
I'm sure that other TUSCL members could contribute a wealth of stories.
I learned early in my clubbing (after moving beyond the PL stage) not to believe or care about the dancers problems.
They were both really nice but I didn't want to take her in the VIP because it wasn't private and there were ALOT of extras going on in there at the time. I didn't want to expose her to that because she looked so conservative.
I don't spend any considerable money on either of them, I rarely buy dances from them they've both probably bought me as many drinks as I've bought them. The first just stopped by in obligatory fashion and quickly realized I wasn't interested in her but wasn't being an asshole, so she stuck around and waited for her customer while I waited for the dancer I came in to see. The second saw the first spending time with me and thought I must have been spending an obscene amount of cash to keep her around so she tried to swoop in and steal me as a customer. We've become pretty friendly, all 3 of us will often hang out together hiding out. It's works for everyone, my dancer of choice doesn't feel pressured to rush over, I don't get annoyed waiting, and the other girls don't have to deal with patrons.
Other than that, the most of the dancers I harbor are avoiding an undesirable customer - usually based on past experience but occasionally based race or odor
