Counting Songs

Rod's comment – “… I can vouch for Go Go Rama in Laurence Harbor. $20 full-friction/hands-on LDs are 5 mins long (timed by a monitor) and not tied to songs …†– on the thread - https://www.tuscl.net/postread.php?PID=2…
I personally believe a system for knowing how many songs one gets is a very good idea.
I am a white Hispanic guy in my early 40s but love going to black SCs – but I often encounter two problems:
1) mostly b/c of my age, I am not really into hip-hop music. I don't necessarily mind it (hip-hop), but I am not familiar with the songs or type of music and thus it's difficult for me often times to know when a new song starts or if it's still the same song
2) being a whitey in a black club, a lot of times the sistas try to over-count me – not the norm – but happens a lot.
I would love if there was a simple system for the custie to easily keep track of the songs rather than depending on the dancer to let one know how many songs it was.
Since DJs tend to talk so much crap, I think it would be useful for them to say/announce each new song when they start playing one.
a) does anyone have issues with over-counting other than once in a blue moon?
b) like Rod, has anyone seen a system which is helpful in keeping track of songs?

In some cases I'll simply tell them to confirm the count before the start of the next song - ie "this will be three" at the start of the third song.
I know people's dislike of the Deja Vu chain. But some have installed "vending machines". The dancer loads money and the time ticks down. Protects both dancer and customer.
@papi... nice factoid about the GGR.. been curious about GGR for a long time but just so far away.
RE OP: The place I used to frequent before the xATF fallout has the LD area right next ot he DJ stand. You pre-pay a set number of songs, and the DJ will call out (not over the speaker system) when the time is up.
The one good thing about Kahoots is the old guy who runs it keeps good tabs on customers and dancers who get out of line. The fact that he tries act like some kind of 1940's era mobster running a nightclub, is also very entertaining.
In Indianapolis, Brad's Brass Flamingo has a guy sitting at the entrance to the LD room and he keeps track, because he's collecting $5/dance from the girls as they come out. Never had a problem there with miscounts, either.
