There are 2 clubs I primarily frequent.
One is a high volume club with plenty of dancers and customers. Since I go about the same time on weekdays, there are half a dozen who are faves and remember me. I’m guessing on a typical day they might make $400 for the day. The extras girls may make much more.
The other is smaller neighborhood club. There is lots of socializing with regular customers but long periods of time without dances. On a typical day, dancers might only make $200. Sometimes less.
I recently went to the smaller club and saw a few dancers who I hadn’t seen for 2 months. They made a big fuss over me. Why hadn’t I been in ? When was I coming back ? I was a bit surprised.
Then, I figured out that when I spent $40-$80 on a dancer in the smaller club, it made a huge difference in what kind of day they had. For that ridiculously small amount of money, I was a whale in a small pond. You know, it kind of feels good.


That's why you hear about a lot of PLs liking slow shifts or day shifts, they are treated like the customers they feel they are. They are ignored on the weekends when they can't compete with the big spenders.
