So, how much money did you bring in?

Have you ever been asked this by a dancer?

I got to the club about an hour after they opened, there was one other customer talking to a dancer at the bar and one older dancer sitting by herself, no dancers on stage yet. I got a bottle of water and sat down, about a minute later the older dancer comes up sits next to me. She is probably mid-40s if not 50s, looks okay for her age but not really my type. I had tipped her on stage before but never really talked to her.

She introduced herself and asked why I was drinking water. I told her I don't drink during the day, and then she asked if I would buy her a drink even though I wasn't drinking. Since dancer drinks are only $8 and there were no other dancers working yet, I said OK and paid the bartender. As I was putting the change in my pocket she asked me how much money I brought with me. I said "Did you actually just ask me that?", she looked shocked and said "Yes, why shouldn't I?". Thankfully she was called to stage about a minute later, and left me alone for the rest of the hour I spent there.

I've been going to this club for 6 months, once every week or two, and almost always get lap dances and occasionally VIPs. I've never been asked that before, and while I could understand a new dancer asking, she's been dancing at least 6 months and probably much longer.
