Buying Drinks For The Whole Club

Interesting experiment.

1. 3 return drinks
2. 10 thank yous

Yeah I say 2 drinks bought and 8 thanks.

Well... were there 2 customers in the place, or 200?

Maybe once or twice a year I'll be in a club where some guy tries to buy a drink for a group of us or even the whole bar. I turn that drink down every single time, precisely because it places an obligation on me that I don't want. Where I come from, there's a Man Code that says that if another man buys you a drink, then you buy him one in return. That's fine when I'm out with friends or family, but I don't want that obligation with some random attention seeking jerkoff (not saying this is you sinclair lol) when I'm flying solo at the club.

Now dancers, female bar staff and maybe even male staff - different story. It's not really fair to expect those in service roles to return the favor, but if they accept the drink then at least a thank you is in order.

As to who actually did the right thing, I suspect that numbers are low, lmao. The current generation just wasn't raised right, especially those that end up in strip clubs.

"I ended up paying for twenty-one drinks: six dancers, four employees (bartender, DJ, bouncer, waitress), and eleven customers including myself."

My bad. Sorry. I'm a little drunk.

7 of 11 customers said thank you
Zero dancers
2 return drinks / bartender and waitress

On the buy-back, I'd say five:

3 customers
1 employee (bartender)
0 dancers

How many thanked you:
None, unless you count a buy-back as a thank you.

• "I'd say four." Like I said, I'm drunk. Thankfully I'm at home.

My guess would be

3 drinks bought for you (bartender, waitress and 1 customer)
5 thank you (bouncer, dj and 3 customers)
6 "wanna dance?" from the 6 dancers
2 "can you buy me another drink?" from the two least attractive girls in the club

I'd guess 0 drinks back, and at most 4 thank you's. The DJ, the bartender/waitress, one of the male staff and one customer.

I'm with Rick though; Although it doesn't happen to me with that same regularity, I decline those offers when they come up. I'd have given you a perfunctory nod or some half assed gesture to say thanks, but no thanks. It's not worth the associated obligation, I'm not at the strip club to befriend dudes. I'm there for strippers.

I would have done both 1 and 2.

i might catch his eye and mime a cheers.

1. all, even the dudes, gave u a big wet kiss.

I hate when a complete stranger buys me a drink or a lap dance. I usually just refuse the offer but if it is too late for that then I just ignore the person. The buyer is usually drunk and the dancer is in my opinion a fugly.

2 Buybacks.

10 Thank Yous

My question is what did that cost you? At my VFW the tab would have been about $60.....

BTW, damn nice of you Sinclair.

Nobody sent a drink to my table. Five out of the other twenty people said "thank you". One dancer came over and thanked me for the drink. The waitress thanked me, but that is not too surprising since I gave her a nice tip for twenty-one drinks. The DJ thanked me over the sound system. Two customers, a couple, were very grateful and thanked me. They were actually visiting the club with the woman's intellectually disabled son who was an adult. A 25% response rate wasn't too bad considering the average person lacks manners and common decency in 2022 America.

The DJ must have been impressed with the gesture because he invited me up to the DJ booth to pick out some songs for the next dancer's set. I remember one of the songs I picked was Call Me Master. youtu.be

I used to go to a bar in New Orleans where it was not unusual for someone to walk in and buy the whole bar another round. Then someone else would buy another round to return the favor. Then another person would buy a round. And another round would be bought, etcetera. The next thing you knew, everyone would get alcohol poisoning before they could drink all the beers or cocktails put in front of them. Those were the days.

It used to be more common before Covid, and if I accepted a drink I always returned the favor by buying a reciprocal drink, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this happening and it’s not something I miss.

@sinclair: Sadly I'm not surprised by the tepid response. But on the bright side, you did get some of the attention that you were seeking with the DJ shout-out and the dancer visit, so I guess it wasn't a complete loss. 😉

—>“ I remember one of the songs I picked was Call Me Master. youtu.be “

Woah! I’m surprised at that choice. Wish I could have been at that club (and not for the free drink, lol)

If you're doing it as a gesture. Don't be counting favors. I've done it and never cared who bought a drink or thanked me. If you're keeping track you're doing it for the wrong reasons

I would have liked to meet the legendary dinosaur, but I never accept drinks from strangers. It creeps me out - like when a PL wants to talk to me too much. Sorry, I’m not antisocial but I go to the strip club to look at naked dancers, not hear some random guy’s life story.

Longball300, about $200 total for the drinks and the tip. In reality that is about the cost of six lap dances at most strip clubs nowadays.

I'm with Rick on refusing drinks from people I don't know. That said, I'm surprised you got that response. I'm not sure I would have expected anyone to thank you.

I wouldn't do anything like that. The people still need to drive home. Drive to bars are an anachronism, something we will eventually eliminate.

Refusing a drink coz you don't want to buy one in return is low.
