Visited a local SC in Detroit on the evening of Labor Day, Sept. 1, 2014. I try to avoid annoying shot girls by tipping them and sending them on their way. I refuse to pay $5 for colored water. This particular shot girl wanted to "hang out" in my booth and would not take the hint to leave. A dancer friend of hers came and sat down. They got into a conversation about another shot girl who was running a rip off. According to the story in the booth, the other shot girl had two customers who did not speak English. She hustled them for $5 shots. They bought 5 (five) $5 shots and paid with a $100.00 bill. She refused to give them change, claiming that the $100 was the full charge for the 5 shots. The manager did not believe the customers, but the shot girl who witnessed all of this could not wait to talk about it. She said she understood hustling for a living, but she could not stay silent in the face of a "goddamned rip-off."
When the dancer asked me to take her to VIP, I declined. I tipped her, but told her I was taking a break from VIP until the manager had a meeting with the dancers and stopped the wallet rip offs. It's common in this club for a dancer to beg for a tip after a trip to the VIP. When the customer pulls his wallet out to get the tip, the dancer snatches all of the bills out of the wallet and bolts for the dressing room. When confronted, she cries big tears and denies doing anything wrong. Typical.


Man – what club was this – I guess you want to keep it anonymous since you didn’t mention it.
You seem to have a lot of issues/run-ins with strippers – I get my fare share – but maybe you are just being too nice a guy – it’s probably not productive to be a gentleman in a “gentlemen’s club†since many of the dancers are not exactly “ladiesâ€.
Dancer/custy interactions is business – and one just needs to learn to say “no†even though it does not come natural especially when interacting w/ women – but if dancers or shotgirls or waitresses are often cockblocking you by sitting at your booth; then send them the fuck off (pardon me French).
