Strip Club forgiveness policies

What's your policy on "strip club forgiveness?"
I'll clarify. Let's say you give a club a couple of tries, and your experience is boring or frustrating (for example, you don't find the dancers attractive, prices are out of line, no real action, etc.). Or you have a negative experience with a manager or bouncer (not a dancer since you can always move on to another stripper).
How long do you wait till you give the club another try? I realize that the severity of the experience, cost of entry (if any) or proximity of the club will play a part. Generally, what's your criteria for giving the club a chance to win you back as a customer?

If I've been somewhere and had a good time in the past but maybe my last few visits have been bad I will always give it another shot if I have already exhausted my other club options for the night.
In certain cities I will occasionally go to bad clubs because I have no other options other than sitting in my hotel room. there are some clubs that "sitting in my hotel room" is actually althe best option.
A club between Greenville and Spartanburg went from all nude to putting it on the side room on a tiny stage near the floor and not having regular dancers. I visited about 3 times with the 3rd time a terrible visit. I never went back again. No longer nude either. Now if I heard the club went back to nude dancing in the main club, I would reconsider visiting again especially if it was byob again as well. So far after 2 or 3 management changes, no nudity and I haven't been back.
If it's prices or management, those issues can linger.
It also depends on convenience. The club closest to your house will get more leeway than one 40 minutes away.
I think the only thing to make me totally not go to a club would be if its totally unsafe or management are total assholes. Havent experience that yet.
I just know if i dont go on a consistant basis my pl card can eadily be revoke.
If it's the quality of the girls, but I like the club and the pricing, I'll go back early and often, until I either convince myself that the lineup is hopeless (in which case, I'll return in a few months to re-check it), or I will ferret out the few pretty girls, get their phone #s, and just arrange appointments with them. I just need one hot girl per trip, so if the club is otherwise good, I'm like the terminator: I will find the hot girl. That's what I do. That's all I do. :)
If it's pricing, I will likely not return until prices change. If it's management/bouncers, I'll play it by ear.- I find a little glad-handing -- or more likely, buying a few shots here and there, giving a tip here and there -- can make any problem I have with staff completely disappear
I’ll often revisit a club that was just “ok” in about 3 months’ time or so just out of curiosity to see if by chance I can run into “Ms Right” – and if I found a club a waste of time then it’ll be b/w 6 and 12 months b/f I pop my head(s) in to see how it’s doing.
I don’t mind visiting a club that I may not be sure about; for a couple of reasons:
+ I’m single w/o an S.O. or kids; so I have a lot of flexibility w/ my free time and is not that big a deal if I have a bad night b/c I can hit the clubs again the next late-afternoon or evening – i.e. it’s not as if “I gotta make my visits count” per se
+ clubs in my area usually close at 5:00 a.m. (and some 6:00) – so I can always try a club and leave and hit another club (or 2) all in the same night
I have been in total shit hole clubs in the middle of nowhere, where I know I'll probably regret it even before I turn off the engine to my car... but I had met one dancer that I either got some over the top dances from or just had a nice conversation with for awhile, making that trip worth it... but yeah, had she not been in there I'd never go in that dump again! lol
For starters, I cannot remember the last time I ever had a specific problem with club staff, so I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
When I avoid a club, it is almost always because: (1) there is something seriously wrong with the talent; or (2) the place is a tourist trap/ripoff joint. There are places like this that I visited 5+ years ago that I still won't go back to.
More often though, in less severe situations, I will give it a few months or so, especially if the pickings are slim in that particular area. However, if there are several other good clubs in the area, or even just a few that I enjoy a lot, then I might avoid a club where I had a bad experience for a much longer timeframe.
1) Quality of Talent - a few weeks if there are decent looking girls that just aren't my style to a few months if they are plain fugly.
2) Price - a couple of months if they are just too high for the area or talent to a year or more if they are just completely overpriced.
3) Non-Dance Staff - never come across a situation with a manager/bouncer/dj/bartender that was bad enough to keep me away from an otherwise good club.
4)Hustle - generally just try to find a different shift to avoid overly aggressive drink hustle unless it gets to the point that the "buy me a drink hustle" is so overbearing that it gets in the way of enjoying the dancing and then I generally avoid the club for more than a year.
5) Air dances - I'll try a variety of dancers on different days and shifts and if they are all air dances I will occasionally check TUSCL to see if things have changed and stay away until a few reviews show significant improvement.
Once I've black listed a club, pretty much only a change in ownership/management can justify another test run.
I very rarely ever go back to a club that I've had a bad experience at. And by bad experience, I usually mean the girls were of very low quality.
I'll visit a shit hole dive club if they have hot girls.
But 99.9% of the time, the dive clubs just don't have any quality dancers. They all move to the higher end clubs if they have the "it" factor.
In other words, there's a bunch of factors. I've had a shitty time & been back the next day; hell, I've left one club and tried another only to return to the first an hour later. I've also had a just okay time and not been back until the club changed hands.
