Shot girl rip-off
SuperDude
Detroit, Michigan
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.

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).
You're absolutely right.
Oh wait - I guess that's not new
Why protect the con-artists and let other mongers get hosed?

Some of these women feel perfectly justified in doing anything and everything to get money. Then they complain about not getting repeat business.
The current generation of dancers seem to think that good looks will get them everything they want because most men are turds and dumb suckers. That's why they have no conversational skills, cannot flirt a little, are lacking in charm, don't know when to shut up about things customers don't want to hear and wind up with broke loser boyfriends, the only kinds of guys who will put up with their nonsense.
Managers, agents or "house moms" might be able to suggest changes in style, but I'll bet that they don't see that as their responsibility. All they do is provide the girls and replace them when they burn themselves out. When a club gets a reputation for having pushy, whiny, agressive and rip-off dancers, it deserves to fail.
You brute!
Lol
I hear you get laid because you are nice, but also good looking with serious cash flow. Not all of us are so blessed.
I've also stopped going to Penthouse now for almost a year because of the shot girls they had there on day shift. Not sure if they are still there @ PH.
I don't do shots. But they'd always give me the "well, you can always buy *ME* a shot and your girl too".
No. No, I don't have to buy ANYONE a shot.... Get lost!
lol.
In all fairness super superdude :) – you only got “slammed" by one poster whom happens to slam just about everything – so please don’t take that one particular post personally b/c everyone else that commented on the thread thinks you are worthy of your nickname :).
“… Superdude, I would start going to another club all together …â€
I guess that is the obvious answer; but that does not excuse a club for acting in such a sucky way – and it’s not as if all other clubs are a panacea of how strip clubs should operate and how dancers should act – there seems to be plenty of bullshit in most if not all SCs.
Most SCs; and pretty much all dancers; just care about one thing – getting your $$$ by any means possible including ROBing you – being a “nice guy†in a SC is like being a “nice guy†in prison – you’re niceness will be used against you.
I went into this area marked VIP room. I and another guy were there. I think now what it meant was just that it had couches instead of the movie theater seats with arms on them, so the girls could do direct on titties in face and dry humping.
Two girls came in and asked for money. I had just a little bit left and wanted to save it for another girl. I went into my wallet and she saw $20 and snatched it and said, "This is enough for me to *start*".
Yes, she did something. But I would have rather had that for the girl I liked. And I learned then that you don't go into areas like that VIP room unless it is with a girl you already have built up some rapport with.
After she did her $20 worth, I let her know that we were done. I did look in later and see that the other guy wasn't willing to play with them either. The two girls were sitting there alone.
Everything in strip clubs is expensive, including just learning how to avoid problems.

You have keen and intelligent insights. As far as the shot girl rip off that started this thread goes, I now have heard confirmation from a shot girl that fake shots are part of the tray. All of us have known that, but it raised an eyebrow when she admitted it in a conversation in front of me. Many years ago in "Exotic Dancer" magazine I saw a back of the book ad for shot supplies, i.e. trays, tubes, colorings and gallons of mix. The ad let the purchaser know that the cost of the average shot was $0.83 and the fake ones even less. So they are being sold for $5 each at great mark up. Why would any customer want to subsidize that? I have argued for years on this board that the shot girls should be eliminated. As long as gullible or "nice" customers give them money, they will be around with the most annoying and agressive hustle in the clubs. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I will now tell them to get lost as soon as they show up and ask them to leave my booth as soon as they sit down.
shotgirl drinks are probably along the lines of $20 dancer-drink hustles where dancers down them in 5 seconds and then are asking for another one; i.e. probably a non-alcoholic 99.9% profit-for-the-club drink.
It’s about not allowing someone to be inconsiderate or take advantage of one’s time; money; or good time in the club – one needs to learn how to say no and be consistent.
They (dancers) def don’t have your/mine best interest in mind – so we better have our best interest in mind.
As painful as it may be; you may need to read stripperweb.com from time to time to remind yourself of what you are dealing with – many of these women will step over your corpse to get your $$$ - i.e. they’ll keep dancing on your corpse after you’ve had a fatal heart attack in the dance booth and charge you for dances you didn’t ask for b/c you couldn’t :)
Do dead customers LDK?
Remember, when you go to a strip club, you are not a Pathetic Loser, you are King of the World, and so all females exist to serve you.
Of this place in La Puente I am concerned because they use male drink servers to do the drink hustle!

This is what it says in some reviews. This is totally unacceptable.
But I think there was even more going on in this story of the shot girl. Fraudulent waitresses, serving fraudulent drinks? I don't care about the fraudulent drinks myself. But if they can't keep fraudulent waitresses out, then just about anything goes. Fraudulent dancers and girls snatching money and all.
Certainly they will not be able to enforce any mileage ceilings in their booths and back rooms.
But this place sounds too wild for me. It must be very big, lots of dancers per shift? How big is it and how many dancers, and how much mileage?
People have written about a place, I think Dallas, with 100 to 150 girls per shift? I would like to know more about this place. It is hard for me to imagine. How many booths and VIP Rooms? What are most of those girls doing at any given time?
Thanks,

One would think not – but after reading TUSCL for 2+ years I guess anything is possible :)
