Won't get ripped off again

layin low but staying high
So I take back part of the money, pay her for 2 1/2 songs and go get a bouncer and ask him to come back to talk. I explain what happened, tell him his club doesn't need rip off bitches, and tell him I only pay for what I receive. ROB backs down and gives up her claim to more.
Ten years ago I would've paid her to avoid a scene. No more. Won't get ripped off again. Join me.

I am extremely generous with dancers who give good service but I won't tolerate getting ripped off.
However if I'm not thinking clearly, forget to ask dance prices because they are supposed to be fixed or forget to ask her name, maybe she thought I was an easy target. I am willing to argue to management more and more but I rarely run into it because I almost always ask questions to avoid ROB'S. The last dancer who didn't wait until a new song started I stopped getting dances from. I believe Karma is a bitch. There's a big difference between not buying dances and calling someone a rob. The ROB'S dissapear pretty quickly most of the time. Word gets out and they get fired or go to another club. A dancer told me I was good at causing trouble. I only do that if I get ticked off and double charging me for dances could do it. I would argue that now and not pay it.
Good for you!
Sorry DIva, have to agree, 2-1/2 is NOT 3. A flight from NY to LA that lands in Denver is NOT a cross-country flight. If she wants to collect for three, dance until the middle of the third song, then.
Only way to avoid it is to REFUSE TO SIT DOWN until song ends. I even say, "let's wait until this song ends."
Most dancers expect custies to be generous and even go above and beyond – but try messing w/ a dancer’s $$$ and see how quickly the tables are turned and how ungenerous most dancers are w.r.t. *their* $$$.
And yeah – it should be a must for every experienced SCer to stand up to ROBs b/c o/w that only encourages their ROB behavior and ROB boldness.
JS69's story reminds me of a rare ripoff attempt I went through a few months ago at my regular club. A stripper I'd gotten dances with two or three times before approached me just as a song was starting. As usual, we soon started groping each, and she started getting naked. Just to be sure, I said something like, "You're just getting me warmed up, right?" She agreed, even though we were already in full dance mode.
After the first song was underway, though, her dance wasn't as good as on previous days. I'd always gotten two dances with her before, but this time I stopped her after one. When I slipped a ten into her garter, she said I owed her $20 for two dances. I said no, it was just one, that she had said that first half song wouldn't count. She claimed she wasn't counting that. I named the song she started on, which just finished. She didn't have an answer except to insist that she had done two dances. I didn't budge, and she got up and left.
I thought that was the end of it, but a minute later, I saw her talking to a bouncer over near the entry and pointing in my direction. The two of them came over, and the bouncer started talking to the guy at the next table. The dancer told him no not that guy, this guy, pointing at me. The bouncer, who knows me as a regular, said this guy?? No way, he's here all the time, never been a problem. I said to him that this lady apparently can't count to two. She was still mad, so the bouncer pulled a ten out of his pocket and gave her what she claimed she was owed just to shut her up.
Later that day, I stuck a five into his shirt pocket and thanked him for getting her out of my hair, even though she didn't deserve the cost. I said how stupid does a dancer have to be to piss off a customer over $10? He laughed and shook his head. I think she was just offended that I stopped her after one dance.
A few weeks later, one of my faves said that the bitch had said to her, "You know that guy you've been sitting with? He ripped me off on some dances I did with him." My fave told her she didn't believe I would do that. I was kind of surprised the bitch lasted that long at the club, but I haven't seen her around anymore lately.
