  The Crazy Horse Saloon(closed)in Atlanta used to have specials buy 2 dances and get a free t-shirt. Where can you wear a t-shirt that advertises The Crazy Horse Saloon?

  Club Rouge in Portland did this in the past. I don't have a problem with this. It's basically if you get a dance, then you get a free club T-Shirt whenever they do those specials.
  
  I wore that free T-Shirt the next time I went to that club, and all the customers thought I was a bouncer lol.

  Cheetahs in Pompano does it during the afternoon. You buy 2 table dances for the standard $20 price and get free whatever they are giving away. Mostly it is x-large Cheetah t-shirt, that are to big on me. There's also Cheetah ball caps, I have one of those too.
  
  I recall the DJ announcing if you wear a Cheetah's t-shirt on Monday night you get in free.
  
  AFAIK the girls don't pay for them. If they don't get dances during the special they return them.
  
  One convenience of this is getting to see all the girls working as they walk on and off the stage.
  
  I'm not sure the business angle. Maybe the same logic as free lunch. Maybe the table dances lead to friction dances.

  Some of the Fayetteville nc clubs do that but it's a freebie to go with a lap dance promotion. It doesn't interest me but doesn't bother me either

  Deja Vu in Cincinnati (closed) used to give out free stuff with dances at certain times in the evening.
  Sirens in Columbus Ohio gives free Tee Shirts at their Divas location in Dayton.
  I always give the stuff to the dancer. It seems some of them collect it and are happy to get it. I sure as hell don't want it.

  Foxy Lady in Brockton, MA has had a 2 for 1 dance special where the customer gets 2 dances ( normally $20 each) along with a free entry pass and a T-shirt for $30. The dancers pay $10 for the shirt and keep the $30. Recently Homeland Security and local LE raided the club and seized the T-shirts, which had Boston sports teams' logos silk screened on them. Apparently the club wasn't pushing legally licensed logos. It was news to me that Homeland Security was in the business of enforcing copyright laws. The Club was most likely buying them from some overseas outfit supporting terrorism paying peanuts for these flimsy counterfeit rags ( I've got a dozen or so that I use to clean my car) and making the dancers pay $10 for them.

  I got a trunk full of Rhino crap that they give away as part of some of their dance specials. Not sure if the dancers get dinged if they dont get a sale during those merchandise specials.

  Pink Pony in Atlanta has tie in with local radio station, and the DJs broadcast from there with lots of cheap crap giveaways. They had a Q & A, that I got right and won FREE Pink Pony t-shirt and would never wear it. But there was young guy there that said he was in military and was going overseas and begged me for this t-shirt. As if it was priceless. I gave it to him ... and probably should have bought him a couple of dances as he is protecting our butts back home.

  Now dancers are required to push drinks and get patrons to buy meals.

  I think I have only seen that once about 10 years ago when there was a special feature at a club

  This is common at Wisconsin's Silk chain of clubs. Dances are generally $20 per, but every 90 minutes they run a "special" where they're two for $40 but you also get a shirt.
  
  I never liked it because, really, what do you do with the shirt? The dancers didn't like it because they had to sell one a night, otherwise yes, they had to "buy" the shirt. In the end, the girl lost out on the promo, and the songs were usually shorter, too, so the guy lost out as well.
  
  After it was explained to me how the promo worked, I just started asking a girl I was kinda digging if a promo came up, "Do you need to do yours? OK, I'll handle it, but you dispose of the shirt somehow. If not, then let's wait and I'll hit you up after it's done." I think everyone was happier in the end.
  
  They did, on occasion, substitute in free entry passes or, once, even a cheap porn DVD. These were better options, IMHO.

  All three of the South Florida Cheetah's (Hallendale, Pompano, and Palm Beach) do it, "Free Item with 2-4-1 dance" but the price is the same as 2 dances, the songs are cut short, and the girls are annoyed cause the club takes a bigger than usual cut, but I digress... It usually shirts/hats/towels/etc. Spearmint Rhino does it, 2/3 dances for basically the normal price with a free item (Playing Cards/Calendar/Shirt/Hat) advertised as a 2/3-4-1. Scarlett's does it too, but at least their 2-4-1's are a bit discounted.
  
  I've got a bunch of the old Scarlett's towels, I use them to wash the truck/boat/dog/etc. I live out in a semi equestrian area, so its always interesting when I've got a couple draped over the tailgate or something and someone rides by and sees them. I tend to leave the other shit there, I'm not going to wear a Cheetah shirt or hang a Rhino calendar in my garage.

  Hotstuff, I'll be *happy* to buy you some new batteries. Just PM me the size and a place to send 'em. And all I ask in return is a video of you using it. Up close.
  
  :)
  
  Did I mention that I'm a creepy old pervert? Just in case you hadn't noticed.

  I absolutely hate all of these merchandise promotions. They are usually bad for everyone but the club. The girls has to "buy" the shirt that she sells you at least once a night. The songs are short and the dance room crowded for the two for one. I also have no use for the crap they give you. Once, my entire table got merchandise dances and we all got XXL boxers. None of each remotely fit them, so we had no use for them except to use as scrap cloth. I try and go to the bathroom during any of these great opportunities.
