$40 Dances and The End of Humanity
Muddy
USA
If I was running a club, just charge like $10-$15 bucks a dance, maybe bring it to $20 during peak times, you will make way more fucking money. I would just get in that LD room and stack them hip hop songs with some chick. I wouldn’t give a fuck. You would put other clubs out of business easily.
I know dancers complain about guys feeling entitled in the first dance but you what we should feel like that way. Fucking $40 you can out a family of 4 to eat. You could get an hour, AN HOUR dedicated to massaging your ass at an AMP. But it in strip club land it’s gets you one half ass dance on one condensed 2 minute rap song. So if your dancing for me, unfortunately or fortunately you getting everything and the kitchen sink on that first song. Your getting the OTC offer, I’m gonna use my hands, I’m gonna try to use my tongue and I’ll even be a little disappointed, yes if I didn’t get some kind of extra. Call me spoiled, Call me obnoxious, call me cheap, call me what you will but I have to operate like this because after a couple of dances IM OUTTA FUCKING MONEY!!!!!! /end rant

Granted there is the chicken or the egg of slow sales vs higher prices, but from what I’ve gathered secondhand Portland, for example, was already like that even back when dance price standard was $25. Prices NEEDED to come up over there lol.
Now a little perspective. Not much lately but in previous years I frequented the Akron clubs where $5 per dance was the norm and other Northern Ohio clubs where $10-$15 was the norm. In some cases prices have gone up a little since then but I work for my cash and I'm not throwing $40 away for 2 or 3 minutes.
BTW San Francisco has not had clubs with lap dances for nearly 11 months. Makes some wish there were $40 dances again.
The general prices in my area are from $20-25 a dance. Mileage varies significantly - depending on club - and dancer. But the $20 dances can be very good.
"When I was there, no customers did any $40 single dances, but when they ran the two-for-$40 promo, everyone did those, which makes sense. What doesn't make sense is charging $40 for a single dance when the other clubs in town charge $30. The mileage is on the low side here, and $40 a dance is outrageous. For that matter, so is $30 for what little mileage you get here, but at $40, no one is buying them. If they charged the Greensboro-standard $30, maybe people would buy some of those during the hour between 2-4-1 promos; the girls would make more money and so would the club. Duh."
So, ITC is for drinking with the girl, VIPs, and getting her to agree to OTC.
Though as far as dance prices and profit, I honestly think earnings averages out to something similar most shifts. Just one personal opinion though. Though I’m not opposed to going as low as $10 for a dance if it’s the right club and it’s consistent and low-stress enough.
A quick perusal of ssa.gov average salary figures from 1990 on show that it takes ~ 23 years for average salary to double. I don't like it, but some inflation adjustment is inevitable.
As most of us know, there are PLs that are into the “fave system”, and others into the “variety system” – I’m in the variety-camp – instead of looking for the best dancer I can find to my all/most of my time/$$$ with, I look for as many dancers as possible on a visit that I can be with as long as they fall within my “PL-parameters” – my SCing M.O. means I rather spend most of my visit getting good dances, vs talking for most of the visit and getting some dances – b/c of my SCing-style I am sensitive to the price per dance since my M.O. is to get with as many girls as I can on a visit (that are my type).
Problem is one would think that once things “get back to normal” that it would be pretty-unlikely that prices got rolled-back (assuming they had increased them due to low-custy-volume).
A good # of vet-PLs that have been at this for a while will probably have a hard-time swallowing higher dance prices – but I wonder if the next-generation of PLs will have less resistance to the higher-dance-prices since they never got to experience the lower-prices.
