Strippers on their phones while “working”

Even when clubs are packed on busy weekend nights I notice numerous strippers not interacting with customers and sitting with other dancers on their phones for long periods of time – many will do their dance on stage and sit right back down.
Why do they bother coming to work? I get not all dancers are hustlers, but sitting for hours has to impact their income potential. I can understand if it was slow and they’re bored or maybe texting regulars but these are busy clubs full of customers.
Is this common at the clubs you frequent?

Sometimes the club is full and no one is getting dances and I’m fucking sick of people being entertained for free. It’s america man, being on our phones is allowed, if a girl is on her phone and you ask a waitress for her or go sit next to her for a dance, I promise she will oblige.
This is more common in busier clubs. At a high volume club there are always customers so dancers can be picky about who they approach. At BDD during the lunch rush there are tons of non spender guys and I have seen a table of the higher demand girls who will literally turn their backs to the room in a leave us alone posture. Then at Bucks there is a dancer I am super interested in but she will never approach me despite verbally expressing interest in dances on 4-5 visits, from talking to other dancers I found out that only approaches customers of a certain age range (older than me).
Other than that it's usually just for texting. Especially if a friend is picking me up (I often Uber/lyft or just have a friend take me and pick me up so I can drink and not have to worry about driving).
I will use it to text regular, but it wouldn't be me continuously on my phone. I'd be checking for his text messages, texting him back if need be, then putting my phone back away.
If it's busy, I'm moving, working the room, etc. I don't have much time for phones if at all. I might glance at it here and there to see if I have any important texts, but generally nope, not at all.
Or make a trail of candy to your table, I wd come over for sure.
You could also try texting her.
I'm with pitts1 on this one.
As for why show up to work anyway? Sometimes they may be trafficked and not a choice. Maybe they're on schedule and would rather work for stage money than talk to people and show up to not pay a no-show/no-call fine. Ask them instead of whining on a forum about it.
It is kinda a bad-look from many custies' viewpoint and a certain # of clubs seems to ban dancers +phones
The funny thing is if you become a regular you will notice the girls who are stuck on thier phones eyeing you in regret. Its like watching a potential cell phone payment walk by them every 2 weeks.
Some of my side bitches text to bitch about tricks and ask me advice on how to finesse certain types. #CareerManagement

I can't stand when girls are constantly recording things for IG or Snapchat and not caring what other strippers are recorded in the background.
Every so often I guess we need another one of these whiny threads from needy dudes who believe that cell phones are the reason that they are being ignored. Sorry to say it, but she was probably going to ignore you anyway.
You're welcome. ;)
I posted since I noticed a group of them (6-8) the other night on their phones at the same table and it doesn’t make logical sense to me for them to be sitting there for hours at a time. Not to mention the customer service factor which was mentioned in comments above. Also was wondering if this happens at most clubs or just isolated.
Some dancers like to “profile” their potential customers and approach fewer of them, who they believe will give them several hundred at one time. Some are good at this hustle, and some are bad at it. Not my style, but it is what it is.
Why are they on their phone? Who knows. But I suspect they think you’re not worth approaching for whatever reason.
“Not to mention the customer service factor which was mentioned in comments above.”
When it becomes widespread enough, management tries to clamp down on that behavior. I’ve worked at a couple of clubs where management will have signs up that says no phones (But I ignore that rule when I pull out my phone for google translate. Wah, I need to improve my Spanish)
“Also was wondering if this happens at most clubs or just isolated.”
If I were to guess, I’d say it’s fairly common.
“and it doesn’t make logical sense to me for them to be sitting there for hours at a time.”
Maybe they have an app with a really powerful vibrate setting.
When I do go in the club I don't see any on their phones talking or texting for the most part, but I think they do it in the dressing room...Most of the girls out on the floor are doing lap dances, on stage, or at the bar with customers...
As for girls I don't already know who are on phone for extended time, I don't bother approaching them, similar to comments from multiple PLs above. Word to the wise.
Sarcasm intended.
Still, in VIP? You were paying for her to text with her son?
Current state of this skirmish: girls aren't allowed on their phones when they're on the floor, and can't hide in the locker room -- but this is all enforced lazily if at all when it's slow. Once there's a decent sized batch of customers, management battens down the hatches.
