PERV RAIL dancer-customer contact increasing

The "extras" issue is talked about all the time, whether just a long term trend or a reaction to a possible strip club downturn. This is a bit different, because the tip rail is completely in the open for all to see.

Contact can vary at the tip rail depending upon the laws and ordinances in effect in the various cities and states and the rules and policies within the clubs themselves. However within a club, one might notice when dancers start to become more aggressive with increasingly high levels of low cost or virtually free contact with clients, and that's what I've noticed in recent months with certain dancers in certain clubs.

Basically these dancers seem to be pushing up the level of rail contact in what I am presuming is an attempt to get patrons into the private dances, because most dancers don't get rich with 2 dollar rail tips. The large money in most clubs is obviously in private dances and ideally in VIPs. This could primarily be a response to the apparent slowdown in cash outlays by typical patrons in strip clubs, caused by the arguably slowing economy or whatever.

Tbe irony is that by "giving it away at the rail" customers over time learn if anything that 2 bucks at the rail or a few dollars more, can be a far better deal than private dances. Many clubs in the past understood this and I believe intentionally minimized dancer and customer perv rail contact for that precise reason. Now the clubs apparently are increasingly not enforcing their own rules.

Looking from the club perspective to keep (at least) foot traffic high and (with the mins) liquor sales high, some clubs seeem to tolerating more at the tip rail, even though some must also realize that longer term its dancers will take the primary hit.

It basically ends up a short term solution creating a longer term larger problem.
