Unfair Competition

Detroit strip clubs
My CF Jenna complained to me about Trixie, a dancer who used unfair tactics. Jenna had been sitting with a customer and hoping he would take her to VIP. But while she was on stage, Jenna saw Trixie go over to the customer, pull her thong aside to show him her goods, and lead him upstairs. This happened twice in one week. Jenna talked to one guy after he returned from VIP, and he told her Trixie had offered him FS for $100.
Trixie pulled this trick on a number of dancers, and they were unhappy about losing their income. Finally they confronted Trixie in the dressing room and told her she had crossed the line. They did not give her a beat down (this being an upscale club), but the dancers made it clear Trixie would be having an unpleasant time if she continued this pattern.
Being a close friend, I sympathize with Jenna and think Trixie should not steal her customers while she's dancing on stage. That is unfair. But as a customer, I believe price competition is a good thing. It is not unfair competition to sell your coochie for less.
The dancers, however, regard their club as a premium establishment with premium prices. They have, in effect, formed a cartel, and they have fixed the prices for their goods (within some negotiable limits.)
I will not bring up the fact that cartels are against the law and that the dancers could be charged with illegally fixing the price of poontang. It seems unlikely that the Federal Trade Commission will step in. The strippers can get away with it.
I am still unsure how I feel about Trixie's unfair competition. Should a stripper be allowed to use any tactics and pricing in the strip club or should the other dancers have a say in what the dancer does?

How hot is Trixie and what's her schedule?
:)
Ace!
Anyway didn't the girls at Flight Club a few years back try to pull this? Where most agreed not to go all the way in VIP for less than four or five hundred?
That said, while I understand why dancers are upset with her, I love her... or, to echo TG's pithy reply, how hot is she and what's her schedule? As a customer, I love the competition, I'd rather have more choices.
Of course, my personal M.O. is to sit with a girl for a few hours, I commit to her totally during that time, and expect her to sit only with me. As a result, Trixie's little stunt wouldn't work on me, and I'll note girls who do that kind of hustle are famous for over-promsing and under-delivering. But in any case, I stick with the girl with whom I have an appointment; if Trixie catches my eye, I'll make an appointment with her for a different day
Price Floors: When dancers collude on pricing, this means custies pay more and some demand is unmet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_floo…
The highest price floor I've seen is at MBOT, where there's a price floor on VIP dances and tips vary widely based on the dancer's uniqueness. Over time, this has resulted in some interesting workarounds and customer-client dynamics.
I only ask because some PLs are shy and wait for the girl to offer vip. If Trixie was able to talk him into it within the time Jenna was on stage he may have been waiting for someone to ask.
And you know that at the places where the girls lead with DFKing, the reason is so that they can eliminate the competiton right on.
