Strip Club Peeves

We've all got our peeves when it comes to strip clubs. Here's my list, though I'm sure I'm forgetting a thing or two. What are yours?
1) A dancer who demands a tip—sometimes substantial—after a private dance. If it's part of the cost of the dance, tell me upfront. A tip is at the customer's discretion. If the dancer isn't getting enough in tips, there may be a reason.
2) Dancers who work the crowd demanding tips after getting off the stage. This is sometimes done no matter where the customer is sitting—at the stage, in the middle of the room, or at the bar. Even customers who just walk in aren't safe. As mentioned above, if a dancer isn't getting enough in tips, there may be a reason. Check the attitude.
3) Long delays between dancers on stage. At some clubs, it's routine to wait five minutes or longer between dancers. I understand if there are only two or three dancers working it's difficult to keep the action going. But if the owners are scheduling it that way because it's not a busy time of day, that's a different story. They're telling the customers that it's not worth showing up.
4) Dancers who spend way too much time telling me their problems. I'm fine, to a point, if a dancer wants to open up. But one time, a dancer spent most of the VIP time telling me her problems. What a waste, and a sure way to lose business, no matter what she looks like.
5) Out-of-date web sites. Don't advertise specials that aren't in effect any longer. And if you have a schedule on-line, keep it current. And what's the point of having a Facebook page if you don't post anything?

Top Eleven Complaints Customers in Strip Clubs Have About Dancers
Doesn't take off as much clothing as she's supposed to take off. (In a club that advertises full nudity, that's everything except shoes)
Doesn't circulate. Spends too much time in the back or talking with other dancers. [I'd add 'regulars']
Promises more action in a private dance than she can or will deliver.
Asks for tips, especially at the proper moment to kill sexy mood.
Starts telling you about her financial problems.
Starts telling you about husband, boy friend or other individual who reminds you she belongs to someone else.
Body glitter, fake tan, heavy perfume or other substance that can transfer from dancer skin to customer clothing.
Won't talk to customer about anything but buying private dances.
In the middle of private dance, won't talk to customer about anything except buying more expensive private dances.
Doesn't understand that the guy may not be ready for a private dance ten seconds after he gets there, that he might want to see all the girls first, and that "not now" means "not now."
Doesn't understand that after the second "not now" or "no thanks," she just might not be his type.
Please help me boost this to the Top 20 by suggesting other items in our comments section.
Girls selling shots asking me to buy them one
Dancers asking me to buy them drinks all the time
Dancers lying about how many songs we did in VIP
Dancers who ask for tips on top of an agreed upon VIP price after the dances end
Dancers who take my cell number then text everyday for me to come to the club or asking to "borrow" money
Customers who waste their money "making it rain" on stage instead of saving it for better stuff like VIPs
Also – watered down drinks.
2--bathroom troll, really don't need someone watching me piss
3--music too loud, DJ won't shut the fuck up
4--dancer that won't take no when asking "wanna dance"
5--dancer doesn't provide what she said she would do in VIP
After you politely decline her "wanna dance" question, she asks if you'll buy her a drink. You do. She either drinks it or leaves with it so fast, you wonder if she even said "thank you."

12. Sits down with the customer uninvited and won't leave when he shows a
lack of interest. This annoys the customer and also all the other dancers because they want to have a chance with the customer too.

Dark stages; dancers having the DJ dim the stage lighting so that customers cannot see what they paid to see.

You buy a dancer a drink expecting some conversation and she leaves to dance her set on the stage and returns only to ask for a tip for her dance.

After telling a dancer that she is just not "my type," she the proceeds to debate (or argue) that she is "every guy's type." This just gives off a vibe that she is just too full of herself and doesn't have a clue.
I hate when a stripper that's desperate to sell a dance comes and sits next to you (unrequested) and forces you into conversation - then gets pissed when you refuse a dance. The words "Are you looking for some company?" can save both the dancer and patron a lot of time/aggravation.

Dancers who do not clean there ass, fully, after dropping a deuce. I understand that they are people and so they have to go to the bathroom but I was getting a dance once and every time she would put her ass near my face it smelled terrible. When she asked me if I wanted to go again I respectfully declined.

Starting a dance for a song that's halfway finished after the customer answers "yes" to the "would you like a dance" question... basically charging full price for half a song.
Excessive glitter or Spray on Tan. The tan is worse than the glitter IMO, but both are incredibly annoying. I don't have to hide my trips from anyone its just a bitch to have to get the stuff off my clothes.
Crazy high prices. Once was offered a HJ for another 200 ontop of the room fees and the dance price in a VIP, totaling 350. And then when I said no thank you, she went off on me about being A too cheap, and B wasting her time. Given how valuable she thinks her time is, I can't really argue with B.
Pretty comprehensive list accumulated here. I'll add air dances, the bathroom attendant (I can grab my own paper towel) and when all but the worst tables in a mostly-empty club are "reserved" and only a $20 bribe, er, "Unreserve Fee" gets you one.
