The thread about strippers asking the customers if they are married got me thinking. What do the customers think of the dancers' boyfriends and husbands hanging out in the club? For that matter, what do the dancers think? Does it hurt your income?
At one club I frequented, one dancer's husband hung out at the club after he got off work. They would joke about whether he should have to tip her at the stage when he does't have to pay for it at home. It was uncomfortable for me for like 5 seconds when I was getting dance from her on one couch while he was on another, but then I realized he was getting a lap dance from one of the other girls so nobody's got room to complain. It did kill the mood when one of them would ask whose turn it was to pick up the kids at school the next day, but I just sorta blocked that out.


At the now closed Crazy Horse Saloon in Atlanta, they had a sign on the front door. "No husbands or boy friends". That is kind of difficult to enforce. Who knows who is married or to whom, etc.
I know one dancer who's husband is always in the club when she is working. She lost her drivers license for two consecutive DUIs. It didn't bother me. The more she drank the better her dances got. He didn't care. She was bringing in the money.
