My First ROB

You should out her, but good for you standing your ground. Best not to be intimidated by these bitches.

yeah, 200 bucks after 4 songs, would mean 50 bucks a song. There's no way that's right, even if these songs were in VIP

This sorta thing has actually never happened to me, mainly because the vast majority of clubs I've been to are pre-pay. I certainly don't prefer pre-pay, but that's just how the clubs around here operate

I wrote in a review,

tuscl.net

of the one time it happened to me. Didn't get anyone else involved, and would have paid what she asked for if a bouncer/manager said I had to, my being in an unknown club as a cripple unknown. :)

We learn from our encountered problems as we club through life.

IHearVoice---> "Why, though? She could've easily...and I mean easily...gotten the other $100 from me by simply dancing for it."

You're thinking like a normal person (well, normal for tuscl, anyway) -- if you can work for your money, why steal it? We have no idea what psychology was at play here, but there are definitely people who get off by ripping other people off... you can certainly imagine someone with low self esteem making themselves feel better by getting over on someone else, plus the thrill of it all. You just can't think like someone with normal psychology.

Sorry it happened. Visit enough clubs, get enough dances, and it is almost inevitable.

I'm glad you stood your ground.

Good job standing your ground.

The guy in charge of the dances was probably laughing his ass off

That was the funniest thing about it: she tried to ROB me within earshot of him after he corrected her. I did see him laugh, probably because he knew I wasn't having it. People say I have this look on my face when I'm angry, which I probably had last night.

If the guy sided with her, I'd have gone straight to a manager and then to the DJ to get the playlist (they play hip hop, so I know the songs). Outside of the money being literally pulled out of my pocket, there was no way I was paying $200. They could've said they were going to ban me if I paid $100 and I wouldn't have cared - why would I, it's South Florida: Tootsie's, Mint, Scarlett's, KOD, The Office, and Cheetah Hallandale are all within 10 minutes. I do let a lot of small stuff go, but that was obviously too much. It's not even the money: it's about her having the ability to tell her girls "I came up off this guy"...can't have that. I owe it to all the PLs. Code.

“…Why, though? …”

She’s a stripper.

That’s why I don’t trust strippers any farther than I can throw-them – it seems w/ many of them the nicer or more generous one is; the more they actually get the urge to take advantage of you – it’s almost like a stripper-gene and they can’t help themselves and often will end-up biting the hand.

But kudos to you for standing-up to her; too many green SCers will coward-and-cave and give her the $$$ or come to an agreement which is still higher than the cost of the dances.

If it was me and I wanted to bother; I still would have talked to the manager (I’ve done it b/f w.r.t. a ROB and management knew she was a ROB and she was asked to leave the club once I talked to the manager).

I may have talked to the manager if not for me but for the next PL who may not have the balls to stand-up to her or to put management on-notice that way next-time she pulls that shit management will know it’s a pattern and probably X her ass.

"beautiful - I mean, seriously: if I made my perfect dancer it'd be her"

I've been to this club, reviewed it, I'm surprised you found a girl you found that highly of as this is a middle to low end club.

Maybe she's been fired from the other clubs for pulling this or she knows she's not gonna be there long.

sflguy,

We all have our preferences. It's been many many years since I was in the Playhouse and nothing there was I interested in.

However, I did find my ATF in what is now Extacy, formally way back, Gator Kicks, south of Cutler Ridge on US1. Likely you know of it. There were also a few other names over the years, but it was pretty much a lower end club.

Just left a dancer from there many many years ago. She is a local barmaid in a place I water down.

She must have been in the holiday ROBing mood

Maybe she has very poor math skills.

I never had a girl over count the songs. I just get women who beg for tips like homeless people on a subway. I must be real lucky or my tall dark and handsome intimidating self must do wonders to keep people in check.

You did the right thing. Please make sure you pot a review and out her name. It was good to see the club back you.

I once had a dancer inform me in VIP that I would need to tip her $100 to touch any private area. When I declined her generous offer she made a point of reminding me how much better her dance would be with the tip paid. She won't ever see another dollar of my money.
