“Can You Buy Me a Drink”

I hate when a dancer that I am not interested in decides to sit down without asking. Even when you tell them you don’t want company some of them will get so offended that you rejected them.
Then they’ll ask you to buy them a $30 champagne. When they ask for a drink do you just straight up tell them no or do you beat around the bush?

Just say sorry you don't do the drink hustle. If it gets into a back forth I just say aight whatever and stop talking. If it keeps going I get up and move somewhere else. Be tenacious with money, your not a rich dude bootylover. I'm a very us against the world when it comes to my money, I'm like William Wallace with that shit. My cheapness trumps me being friendly. I'm always thinking about that next OTC that's going to cost like 400 bucks, can't be wasting it on some faggy mixed drink that let's be honest she's just going to says thanks and get up with it and go to the next customer. I don't make enough money for any of that bullshit.
"No thank you" and you can tack on phrases like "I'm not interested" "thanks for stopping by" "have a good night" to drive the point home if needed.
I've been to some USA clubs where the girl goes to the dressing room and it gets served there or doesn't even touch the drink at all. it makes no sense to me at all in that case.
Unless there is some benefit to me....not gonna lie...sometimes there is a benefit...find another guy to give into your ploy.
The trickier one is if you think they are hot and want to see if they are friendly but not drop $20 for a drink upfront. But usually the line is "I like to spend my money on tips and dances".
Eh that's far too absolute a rule, it depends on the duration. If a dancer starts up a convo with you and you chat and joke for a couple minutes, there's no obligation to give them anything. It's called being friendly, and maybe an opportunity to get to know a dancer a bit who you didn't know, who you might spend more time with in the future. On the dancer's side, it's a small investment of time for a potential future customer. Furthermore this is a really US-centric perspective. In clubs in other countries, it's often normal procedure for the guy to chat up a few girls (again, for a few minutes, without tipping) to narrow down his final choice.
And as dolfan mentions, a meal or a drink can be a pretty high value play. If you're into her, a $10 or $15 drink is not only polite but it's likely going to be a worth it for fun flirty chit chat. Unless, as Jascoi mentions, she just vanishes without finishing her drink, that's happened to me before too and I think it's quite rude on the dancers part.
The art of rejecting a dancer that you're not interested in is what's important, that way you don't feel like you're wasting money on a drink.
When I was a less experienced monger, I'd get into all kinds of situations with dancers I had no interest in. Drinks, rejection tips, even sometimes dances I wasn't into just because I didn't want to feel like a jerk for saying "no". Now I try to look at it like I'm doing them a favor by turning them away early - I'm avoiding wasting their time and giving them an opportunity to work the rest of the room. So if she asks for me to buy her a drink and I'm not interested in her, I'll be direct and say "No, thank you." No need to elaborate or explain.
The tough situation is when a dancer is really pushy, asks for your time, a drink, or a dance and when you say "no" is like "why not?" I struggle with that. The real reason is always "you're not my type", but that lands weird if it's a hot stripper given I'm an average PL.
Next time this happens to me I'm going to make up some kind of astrological reason. Like, "Because sagittarius is ascendant and venus is waning," and then bow my head solemnly. 😔
