I thought back on my career as a strip clubber and asked 'which strip clubs have I encountered the most ROBs in?' I made a list of those strip clubs on a Post-It and was then was able to sort those strip clubs into one of three following categories:
-
Clubs in cities where people go to party for a few nights. For example: Las Vegas, New Orleans, Key West, Miami, Nashville. The people who club in tourist-oriented cities and “go hard” for a few days accept they will be blowing money. When they get ripped off, they generally just accept it as a cost of the trip. The strippers who work in these cities have no problem ripping off tourists who they reckon they will never see or have to deal with ever again. They justify that if they don’t take the suckers’ money, a casino or tourist trap will, so why not?
-
Clubs near airports. These strip clubs have a higher proportion of traveling customers. The out of towners generally don’t know the rules, prices, and schemes being run at a foreign club. ROB’s take advantage of this lack of intelligence and feel there is little chance of them being confronted on a subsequent shift because the customers will fly out and never see them again.
-
Clubs near sports venues. You have a lot of inebriated guys that want to see tits after a football, baseball, or other sports game. ROB dancers like to prey on guys who have had too much to drink and are not all there. Over a decade ago, I remembered reading about a strip club near Camden Yards that routinely drugged customers and ran up their credit cards.
So then, what kinds of strip clubs tend to have no ROBs?
The strip clubs where I have almost never dealt with ROB’s are located in rural areas or smaller towns. There is a much smaller population base to support the club, and there are very few travelers coming through. Bad publicity and upset customers could end a rural club much more easily. In low population density areas, clubs tend to have a higher percentage of regulars. Also, everyone seems to know each other in less populated places. Patrons might even know of the families that the dancers come from. A club working off of a smaller customer base will feel a drop off of customers much more than a big city club that gets fifty or one hundred new faces to rip off (and piss off) every single night.


I tend to find a regular and stick with her, so I’ve probably only encountered one truly memorable ROB. And that was a girl at the Mons Venus - and not coincidentally this club checks off all the boxes
Good list
