Biggest Ripoff you ever witnessed or experienced in a club

I got my pocket picked twice at Follies by the same dancer. About $60-70 in $5's & 10"s. The first time I narrowed it down to 4 suspects and 1 in particular. I reported it to the 2 bouncers that I knew well and asked if they had had any other reports and they said no.

The second time it happened I knew it was the same girl that I suspected the first time and I called her out. She denied it, of course, and I couldn't prove it but I gave her a royal ass chewing. I then reported it to the bouncers again. They said to mark my bills and if it happens again they would be able to nail her. But after the ass chewing she got from me, she never came near me again. I did bust her in a review.

I had the opposite happen once, but it was not intentional. This was many years ago, probably around 1990 at the long since closed Gigi’s Angels in Memphis. The girl I was getting dances from gave me a big wad of cash to put it in my pocket so that she wouldn’t lose it during the dances. (Her hands were full.)

After our dances, I paid her and gave her back her money. When I got home, however, I found more cash in my left pocket which could not have been mine as my cash was always in my right pocket. It was less than I spent on dances, so I thought of it as an unintentional discount or rebate on the dances I paid for.

Never saw her again, so I never got the chance to repay her but I did make sure to spend it with another dancer on my next visit.

"Gigi’s Angels in Memphis" did this club have high mileage dances a la platinum plus?

Rattdog this club, like all of the clubs in those days in Memphis had excellent mileage. Danny’s, Gigi’s, Cherokee Rose, etc. paved the way for Platinum Plus which came later.

A vip room experience at the now defunct can can room in Vegas. She refused to dance or take her clothes off unless I tipped her $700 so we just sat there for half an hour. I was getting my times worth. She was losing hers.

A dancer told me this a while ago, and I'm probably getting the details wrong, but so be it. A guy came in, got drunk, and spent some time making it rain with 100 dollar bills. Turns out he meant to use one dollar bills, but too late. He was pissed. Security had to escort him out. Not really a rip off, but somebody spent way more drug money than he intended.

I got my pocket picked once at Ruby II in Bridgeport CT. It happened after I flashed her too much cash when I was paying her for the LDs. The funny thing is that she was butt ass naked when it happened - I can only imagine where she put the money. Now some might say that maybe I dropped it or it was someone else, but I am sure I did not and she was the only person who was close to me after the LD when she came back out to hug me again and thank me.

In Downtown Cabaret in Charlotte, I watched a dancer and a waitress flat out prey on a completely plastered guy. He was standing at the back bar passed out on it face forward when the dancer approached him. It took him 5 tries to stagger from the bar to the stairs because he kept losing his shoes. When I last saw him, the waitress was under one of his arms, with his credit card in her opposite hand, and the dancer was under his other arm and whispering in his ear as they half carried him up the stairs to VIP. You know they fleeced that fucker for whatever they could get from that card. Caveat emptor baby!

A favorite dancer showed me 1 technique for picking a pocket. The money goes in her shoe.

Wonder if there should be a thread about how to avoid getting picked. I don’t think I ever have been so far though.

Biggest rip off for me was a classic Hustlers story: I was too drunk, tipped a girl too much, blacked out, woke up in my hotel, apparently we banged but also she had a friend run my card for 1500.00, and tragically for her that charge ended up being refuted. Still burned a stack though

Long story short. Back about 2005 I gave a dancer $10 to deliver a note with a half of a $50 bill anonymously to another dancer.

The note made it minus the torn bill. Again a long story short. I paid an additional 20 to get it back.

Not only have I got a lot of mileage from telling that story the evening ended with my first OTC

Have seen more guys than I can count too drunk to operate the club's ATM. "Helpful" dancers helped them make the withdrawals.

I did have my wallet lifted in Follies VIP by a Cuban once. She was slick about it and only lifted a few $20's while blowing me. Wallet was found on the floor as we were tidying up. At first glance cash was still there, but I knew exactly how much I started with and came up $60 short. Did not make an issue of it but avoided her from then on.

I was at a seedy club in the south and this young jacked up guy was going bezerk claiming a dancer stole all the money out of his wallet. You know she did it becuase she was smirking the entire time. Behind him was his two friends who were jacked young guys as well. Eventually 3 'roided out bouncers came up which made the angry customer look small, these dudes looked like linebackers, daring him to do something. I thought for sure a fight was going to break out, but the customer and his friend eventually left.

After seeing that incident I said to myself "welp no lapdances tonight" and left. Strangely the building burnt down about a year later, and it was made out of concrete blocks. How the hell do you burn down a concrete building?

I too had my wallet lifted while in the VIP at Follies. Basically, the exact same story as Goldmonger, although the dancer I was with was South American not Cuban. It was one of my best VIP's ever and I have no idea when or how she did it. But, my wallet was laying on the floor and imagine that, not as much cash as when I entered VIP. It took me awhile to realize what happened or I would have made a bigger deal of it. Booze, second hand smoke and just nutting have a way of messing with your mind.

RTP I did not check her green card. Might have been the same dancer. About 5 years ago?

It is a real slick method. Most guys will never realize she took anything and just figure they spent more than they thought. I was sure because all I had paid for was cover, a beer, a few singles and two dances. Might have been off by a dollar or two on my count , but not $60.

Getting drunk as a skunk and making transactions involving a lot of money don’t go together. I see drunk fools at casino tables too. I like to get drunk occasionally and I like to go to strip clubs. I would never do both at the same time.

A DJ asking for $20 for personal requests in a completely dead club.

I hate when a stripper quotes a price and when you agree to it, won't follow through. I had one tell me she would do anything I wanted for $400. I told her to paint my house. Never happened.

Ahhh, goldmonger....did she take your $400? If she didn't, it doesn't count!😇

I set down a pair of glasses once at a club and someone stole them. Why steal something like that? It's not like you have the same eyesight as me and can wear the same pair I do.

That's not the biggest ripoff I encountered, though. One time I had a girl charge me forty dollars for a lap dance in a club where dances are really half that, as I found out on a later visit. On top of that, she danced around in front of me without touching me and was smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke in my face while doing the dance. I rate that as my all time worst lap dance.

The only thing I recall ATM was a lying ROB picked my pocket during a lapdance. I wrote about it in a review and have since found out that I wasn't the only one she did it to. I've had a couple dancers try to grab a wad of cash out of my hand when I showed them I wasn't bullshitting while negotiating but they failed in their attempts.

I had my pocket picked by a danc.er at The Showpalace. I was getting a lapdance and she pulled my shorts down to play with Jr. It took her 5 dances to finish me off. When I went to square up with her, she told me it was only 2 songs. She told me that she would meet me at the bar to square up. When I reached into my pocket, I realized that I'd been picked.I spoke with the manager and even admitted to breaking a few club rules. She went over the cameras and couldn't actually see her grab my money, but since she had under reported her number of dances, she got fired on the spot. The manager asked me how much I was missing. I told her about $260 in consecutive numbered twenty's (I had gone to the ATM before going to the club). The manager went in the back and came out with $260 to pay me back and then bought me a couple of beers.

I’ve had dancers ask me to watch their purse while they are on stage. Sometimes they are dancers I know well. On a couple occasions, it’s a dancer who is high/drunk, One time, one of the high dancers seemed to disappear and I handed her purse to a bouncer and left.

I always worry that I will be accused of taking money out of the purse. Hasn’t happened so far, but it could.

Not a BIG ripoff, but the most slick I've seen - a dancer walking around the club offering to change up her singles for larger bills. It's a club with a tip walk, so singles need to be replenished as the night goes on. The customer sitting next to me at the bar takes her up on her offer and hands her $20. She lays down a $5 bill on the bar, then starts counting out $1 bills next to it - "6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..14..15..and 5 is 20" as she places the first $5 on top of the pile.

It took a few seconds before it registered to me what happened and by that time, she was gone. The next time she came by, I called her out on it and she was very convincing that it must have been accidental or that I missaw what happened, but in thinking about it later, I couldn't come up with a valid reason to start off the transaction with that $5 bill if it wasn't a premeditated ripoff.

To the best of my recollection, I have never been pick-pocketed in a club. I keep my wallet in my front pocket (not because I'm clubbing, but because sitting on wallet can be bad for your back), so it's more difficult to slip out of that deeper, tighter (on a fat guy like me anyway) pocket without feeling it, especially sitting down.

I have seen dancers do the ATM "helper" thing with severely drunk guys though. I have warned managers on occasion, and I'm actually surprised at how many took steps to make sure the guy knew what he was doing. I'd have thought more of them would be of the "that's evolution in action" mindset.

@GMD I also have seen club managers keep a watchful eye on PLs that appeared to be intoxicated I don’t think getting them ripped off would be good for the club in so many different ways, my guess some of the floor staff might be less inclined towards the customers especially since the business model has them working for tip out provided by the dancers

I've been one those drunk idiots being helped at the ATM by a dancer. Stupid.

I've probably paid for dozens of water shots. Caught a few in progress.

At the bar my phone just vanished somehow. Bouncer returned tome after reviewing the tapes. Dancer "accidentally" picked it up. I spent a lot of cash in that club.

Had a dancer start playfully grabbing my change off the bar. She did it twice before I told her to knock it off.

For us much drinkin time I've spent in the club, I've never had my wallet picked even when it would have been easy as hell to do so.

Years ago, when I was in Grad school, I did a semester at the London School of Economics. There was an area not too far from our dorms that had streetwalkers. I was a poor college student so I did not have very much money then. One night I walked about this area and was approached by this lovely British girl that said I could have my way with her for what was about $120 in pounds. I hadn't been laid in a while so I ran back to the dorm to get the cash and ran back. I handed her the money, she takes it walks over to a window, hands the money to them, the window shuts, then she proceeds to just walk away. I notice this so I get in front of her. I ask what are we doing next. She said "Nothing.". There were police everywhere but what was I going to do. I am in a foreign country being cheated by a street walker. What am I going to say to the policeman ? Hey Mr Police. This hooker won't give me the sex that I just paid for . The girl knew it and so she just stood there and smiled. I was so mad, but there was nothing I could do. I had been scammed.

@Lone_Wolf. So odd you tell your story and are from AZ. Aside from the few expected cash slides at the bar if I leave out a stack, or fastback change that I'm too distracted / buzzed to focus on, this was my closest to rip-off, and it was in AZ! Don't recall the club name, but it was on the east side on the way out of town from PHX, I was on my way to the superstitions. Clublayout is a bar in front of you as you walk in and to the left. Straight ahead is a hallway leading to dancer room, and there's another lounge, stage area in a room to the right - larger than the bar area. I was in that lounge, had a few chair dances, and then didn't realize I didn't grab my phone from the side table until I was ready to go. Went back and searched, nada. Manager helped me look, moved a chair, etc. Really helpful. I asked if he'd call it and then walk to the back - he hesitated then he did. Then he came back with the phone mumbling something about it all being a simple mistake, picked up mine with hers, etc. OK, Maybe... I was just super relieved.

Haha. After posting I had to research. It was Desert Flame Here's the seat, err, scene of the crime! google.com

Oh Warrior. That’s rough. I would have plotted something to wipe that smile off her face. I’m not sure what, but revenge is a dish best served cold.
