What would you have done - Water Shot

This happened a couple of years ago when I was at the peak of my partying sc ways.
New to me dancer sits next to me at the bar. I asked her if she wants to do a shot which she says yes to. I order two shots of patron from the big burly bartender. Bartender places the shots in front of us. For some reason I reach for her shot. Dancer shoos my hand away and admits it is a water shot. I play it off and the dancer soon departs.
I sit there and ponder the situation in, at that point, a severely inebriated state. I call the big burly bartender over and say I just paid ten bucks for a shot of water wtf?
He acts like I was insane until I offer to call the dancer over that admitted to the indiscretion. At which point he pours me another shot (which I did not want) the whole time he is bitching like there was something wrong with me.
Now, I know that I've probably bought dozens of water shots during my sc partying days. I don't worry too much about it and had never asked to switch shots before but for some reason did it this time. In hindsight, I wish I would have just played it off and went on partying of course never giving that dancer another dime.
What would you have done if you somehow found out the expensive shot you bought for a dancer was really water?

Lately I learned the penalty at my home place for not selling enough drinks was like $24 or some amount like that and I laughed I told my CF I'd just pay her the damn penalty next time...
in some cases the drink is kinda payment for her time with you. especially if she received a cut of the price. this is common in tj.
and in some usa clubs the girl has a quota to sell. otherwise she has to make up the shortfall.
I have had dancers drink water and I've bought bottled water for them at inflated prices while respecting their decision to decline a drink but don't piss on us and tell us it's raining!
I've never been a heavy-drinker and currently the most I'll drink is one lite-beer at the SC, sometimes two depending how long I'm there. Never having been a heavy-drinker, a well/properly poured strong drink will usually have an effect on me - back in the day I used to like drinking long-islands b/c that would give me a good buzz; but whenever I ordered one at the black-dives I hit, it's as if I had drank water, pretty-much zero-effect.
When I would order a long-island at a club like Tootsies, I would get a nice-buzz - but then a while back I started getting zero-buzz from it and seemed as if they too were watering down the drinks.
My belief is that nearly all alcohol clubs function similarly, with a code of some sort that indicates the dancer wants a no-alcohol shot. The codes can seem barely out of the ordinary, e.g., she orders her shots with a maraschino cherry, or two lemons, or whatever. For me, since drinking with the girls is part of the experience I want, when I catch a girl doing this, I'm through with her permanently and she's perma-banned from my table (that is, my buddies and I all warn each other about her).
Among the things you can do are:
1. Get in good with the strippers until one tells you the code(s)
2. Leave the stripper at your table, order the shots yourself from the bartender, bring them back yourself.
3. Order for her -- work out what she wants in advance, and order it ("two shots of tequila") ... she has no reason to say anything, if she jumps in to add in any little detail ("put an umbrella in mind"), that's probably the code
4. Switch shots after the waitress puts them down -- you will have already paid, but at least you'll find out right away if it's a real shot
I do 1, 2, and 3 regularly
I assume any club where there's a dancer drink-hustle/quota that those drinks would be watered-down/no-alcohol - the girls are mandated to push drinks and have PLs buy as many as possible - in this type of format I assume the drinks don't have alcohol else most of the dancers would be blasted every night beyond being able to do their job and even get home - plus in clubs w/ a dancer drink-hustle, a drink w/ no alcohol means pretty-much 100%-profit for the club and more reason for it not to have alcohol in it.
Most clubs are already overcharging for drinks, alcohol or not. The bottom line for me is everything I pay in a club is tuition for figuring out how to get an attractive lady to play with my cock. If I think I’ll get there buying her a glass of milk, so be it.
Of course there are also 98 lb dancers that could drink me under the table 7 days a week, and being mindful of the female staff's state of inebriation doesn't require the kind of criminal fraud the OP describes.
The problem boils down to the club having a much greater financial stake in maximizing profits from drink sales than any obligation (legally, ethically, or just plain good business sense) to keep the gals on the floor from being fall-down drunk. In the club's eyes they're independent contractors and adults who should know their own limits.
I guess you can say buying drinks is a chump's game... and front room make out session is where it's at. :)
I don’t want my dancers to be drunk, and I don’t want to piss money away on watered down booze - so I avoid it.
The comments make sense in many ways. You shouldn’t have to pay a booze price for water. If dancers did shots with just a few customers - they would get drunk early in their shifts - and they’d be a mess by the end of the night.
