Club Specials

What kind of specials entice you into clubs?
I'm sitting at a club this very second, thinking about making my first discussion post. I'm actually a little upset. It's early on a Saturday, I've been working since 4 am and I was looking to relax. I make it to a club I've always wanted to check out. I always drink when I check out a strip joint and drink specials are important to me. Everywhere I go to now, though, has specials on food instead of drinks. It infuriates me as a patron. I can get a shitty burger for a dollar, but jack and soda is $12!!! Before 8pm? Why?! The talent is ok considering the time and day, but if I can't get buzzed before I shell out $300 for some VIP treatment, then I get pissy. I don't know. They also just quoted $20 for a glass of wine for a stripper that I would rate a 6. I'm sorry for the rant, but does anyone else feel this way?

No doubt liquor sales may provide a, if not the, majority of the profits for SCs – and it seems this club in particular is trying to shaft custies by charging full-price before 8:00 p.m. and $20 dancer drinks (the latter is definitely a flag IMO for a club that tries to shaft custies via drinks).
There really isn’t much one can do except not allow oneself to be extorted by not buying – not an easy fix – but if SCs see they are not doing well due to low sales; “maybe†they may change tactics.
I would def not pay $20 for a dancer drink – that is outright extortion IMO – and if you like to drink – your only option may be to visit a restaurant’s bar before hitting the SC. Not the way it should be – but the way it unfortunately is. Perhaps other SCs in your area may offer better service?
All one can do is stick to their guns and be willing to walk-away/not-partake if one feels they are being shafted/treated-unfairly – or just adjust their game to the particular SC.
And I hate mandatory drink minimums too. Would rather spend money on the girls not liquor/ beer.
If a dancer orders a "premium" drink on me, not going to have a positive effect on any tip or the number of dances I get from her.
I'm fine with clubs that don't have food service. Although, some of my past favs have had very hectic schedules between dancing / other job / children / SO, and I liked being able to offer them a meal or snack if they had not had time to eat.
The thing to watch out for with specials is that they are there for a reason. That club has no door fee on mondays because no one goes on a monday. The 2 for 1 dances are on wednesdays to make up for having lesser talent. And there are no specials on saturdays because there doesn't need to be.
Was Special Ed in that clubs?
