This guy actually believed this dancer when she told-him she did not get any payment from the $30-dances and that it went all to the club and she just relied on tips (in this club one pays a cashier post-dances instead of paying the dancer directly)r.
From a recent review of "Purple Orchid" Philly:
"... I practically pass Purple Orchid on my commute most days, so I have been interested in checking it out for several weeks. This week I got my chance to visit.
Parking was easy, though there were only one or two spaces open when I got there. I didn't feel any bad vibes about where I was parking; it's pretty near to the airport so lots of airport parking lots (and a few other strip clubs nearby).
Upon entering, there was no cover. I parked myself on the back corner of the bar, and ordered a bottled water. Shortly after getting my water, I was approached by a WOC with an accent, whom I later learned was from Grenada. We struck up a conversation; she was flirty but not overly so. OTC was offered almost immediately, and she told me that I was her type, etc. That kind of talk literally means nothing to me. We talked about what each of us "was into" and I told her. I also noted that I was kind of in a hurry and didn't want to sit there for an hour or two.
We eventually agreed to do a dance. I didn't pre-negotiate pricing or tip. I elected the $30 curtained-off room, which was probably unnecessary. Dances are timed, not song counted. I assume four minutes each, but not 100% sure. Anyway, there was a digital clock in the room and I'm pretty sure we went about 10 minutes. Top came off no problem, her outer bottoms (whatever they're called) came off. "I NEVER do this...you're my first" (in reference to taking off any of the bottoms. Yeah, I'm sure that's true for someone offering OTC. My belt was off to avoid injury and there was some HOP action. Nothing really beyond that besides some grinding. Eventually we finished what we started.
She said that it was three songs and I better take care of her. I asked what the house fee is - in other words, what of the $90 for three songs does she get. She says nothing - zero - and gives me a sob story. I had a $100 bill in reserve but didn't want to use it. She said that she'd ask the bouncer what the ATM shows if I am concerned about something incriminating on the receipt; I didn't really care about that, but I went over to him a second later, before paying her, and asked him if she gets nothing but tip from three dances. He said no, the house gets $10 per dance. Of course, she claimed that she never told me that, and even after giving her the $100 and pointing out that she was banking $70 from a 10 minute dance, she wanted a tip. I gave her most of my remaining ones - which, like the $100, she offered me to put between her boobs, and by that point I was disgusted and ready to leave - and she seemed satisfied.
Most of the experience was a positive one, but the end did leave a bad taste in my mouth (not literally - ha). I'll probably come back someday to see if it works out better with another dancer ...."
amazing.
