The Dancer getting screwed on the song count: What would you do?
a21985
The way my ATF works with me is she lets me tip her what I think is fair for what we do (though she kind of knows what to expect based on the first few times when she used to give me set amounts), but the expectation is dances are paid for on top of the tip. Which I'm fine with. When we finish, we go to the bouncer (who keeps track of the song count for the dancers in the VIP), and he says it was 2 songs.
It certainly wasn't, it was either 5 or 6 depending on whether a stage set skip was included in it. Seems like my larger tip to the bouncer, which is meant for privacy only, earned me him possibly hooking me up on the count. My ATF was a little taken back, but didn't say anything then or the rest of the day about it. I paid it and then gave her another tip that covered most of the difference. If
So, what would you do if that happened to you: Be honest, make up for it, or let it slide?
Got something to say?

I would've thought there were enough guys here who've been screwed by a dancer purposely over counting that they wouldn't try to rectify it, but I guess I was pleasantly wrong there!
If it was some random dancer you'll never see again in some random club you won't be in again anytime soon I certainly wouldn't loose much sleep over it - but your situation isn't that.
Make sure you *say* something to her, as well, to let her know you're thinking of her. Something like, "I know that was really six, so here's the difference."
