Tip on VIP

Just another way to get more money out of you. I have even been quoted an amount upfront from a dancer that said the amount was plus tip.

Not all clubs work the same way. What does work universally? Tip for good service. It’s not hard (that’s what she said).

I get asked. I rarely tip when asked, not so much because the ask offends me but more because the ones who ask for tips are usually the ones who have to ask because they don't do anything that would warrant a tip.

But if I do a room with a girl and we agree beforehand on a rate I know is typical for the club, and she clearly goes above and beyond I'm going to give her more that we agreed to. The distinction of what part of the money I gave her was 'the price' versus what part of what I gave her was 'a tip' is immaterial.

As for the why; I think dancers ask for tips because it works. From their perspective, what do they have to lose by asking? Theoretically, asking could be seen as a turn off and deter repeat business. But I think the girls who are asking for rejection tips and tips after doing rooms aren't getting a lot of repeat business anyway, due to their product being shitty. Either their not that hot, don't have an appealing personality or persona, don't put in much effort, are uptight, etc. So if they can guilt or shame a few extra bucks when they've got a fish on the line, they're gonna do it. They've got to make the most of every opportunity.

The hot, friendly, fun, girls don't have to ask for tips cause the guys are already tipping them. When I run into one of those girls, I'm not waiting to be asked for a tip. I want them to come around and stick around. If they also deliver in a room, I'll probably want to see them again. Tipping them is how I make those things happen. That's not to say I'm throwing money around like a rap superstar, but I'm sure as shit not being penny wise and pound foolish.

I don’t tip unless I have OTC plans with the dancer.

I agree with Dolfan. Sometimes you just feel like you want to give her more money and you don’t have to think about it. It was that good.

It is just an ask. Just how restaurants will ask you for a tip even for carryout or even starbucks will ask for a tip.

I have given “gifts” to girls. If youre giving her extra money because you feel like it or really liked her etc i see it as more of a gift.

I dont think you need to do it to see her regularly. Just being a good customer is usually good enough

Dancers usually say how much their cut is and ask for a certain amount. But never had anyone ask for a tip.

Yes but I don’t tip girls who ask for tips although I will if I thought I got more than my money’s worth. Of course there are negotiated “tips” for particular services but that’s something different all together.

If you're lucky, you'll find strippers who are trying to make as much money per shift as they can. If you're not so lucky, you'll have to deal with power trips and apathy. If you give no tip, or one she considers low, she'll prefer other customers if they do better by her. If she's power tripping, she may not sell you dances in the future, to punish you for a low or no tip. If she's apathetic, tipping is only being nice, her behavior will be unpredictable regardless. If a stripper ever feels guilty because she got more money from you than was fair, Rod Serling is probably going to appear before you and her and start narrating.

Everyone has their pride, so don't power trip yourself, don't make it blatant if you don't think she's worth a tip. Say you're sorry but you can't. Consider throwing in a quick sob story about your bills or your tightwad boss. Turnabout is fair play.

I think I'm at an advantage, as I'm not a big drinker, and definitely see no point in getting my buzz from expensive bar-bought drinks. If strippers see you buying booze at a premium, but you're unwilling to tip (pay a premium) for their dances, they may feel slighted.
