When a dancer is doing a good job (assuming I didn't give her a mercy dance), I tend to start buying dances. Two ways the dance overcount occurs. First, the nasty DJ is running songs together or starting and stopping them randomly. I strongly prefer a regular jutebox. I certainly don't go to clubs for "music." Anyway the game is that the dancer can arbitrarily start counting dances whenever. One dancer wanted to count a 15 second song. She backed down real quick when I said that is fine, but I've had enough dances. The other situation occurs when she adds a couple after you've both been counting. 99.9% of the time I will pay for the overage if I bought a lot dances and then I will cut her off my list for future dances. It makes no difference how hot she is or how good she dances.
I don't really mind the loss of money nearly as much as the company of the now unwanted dancer. Every time a dancer throws in a free song or just gives a little extra I feel like rushing back and spending even more money on her. And, that pretty much goes for any business relationship. When I see someone giving a little extra I wanted to do more business with that person.
Yes, I could run a tighter ship. But, that really takes a lot of the fun out of it when I feel that I have to be a cop. On the positive side, it is better to weed out dancers who will take advantage like that.
I should also mention a good number of dancers who if you're treating them right more than return the favor. Not just a free song at the end, but free songs in the form of considering certain songs one because the songs are a little short or not counting the song if it is the dancer's favorite or whatever. Sometimes I'll get an apology an the dancer will ask if she can take the song off to do whatever. Sometimes whatever is positive sometimes she is taking a real break just so she can move with the music. Whatever, I consider it nice even if it happens to interrupt my fun. I appreciate the show of consideration.
Some of my favorites give free dances or reduce their prices to keep dancing and/or start dancing on a song and don't count that. That's why they are my favorites and I keep spending money on them when I see them. I call a dancer trying to count extra dances a Rip off Bitch or ROB. Report her on here and to the manager if she's a real bitch. She's probably temporary anyway though. At least the dancers I've encountered like that have been temporary.
