Do any of you guys get frustrated with club culture sometimes?

Yes, this is very annoying. If you don't tip get marked as cheap. If this is their business model then I just go to a different club that appreciates customers. It's the short term mindset of squeezing every dollar instead of building return customers.

Fed up would be a better description. Too much hip hop. Just move to a club more to your liking.

My "frustration" with club culture is highly dependent upon the club itself. The "best" club in town has a lot of GPS suffering drama queens who think their shit doesn't stink, and that cocaine is candy. Fun to go once in a while for eye candy, but more than an occasional lap dance with someone who hasn't been infected yet is definitely not worth it.

The "worst" club in town (now closed) played the shittiest music, had a floor that sagged and bounced as you walked across it, and a bathroom that was out of order 98% of the time. But a significant number of the girls in there could suck a watermelon through a straw, and were surprisingly sober. Not completely so, but weed was the majority recreational drug.

Take your pick.

Last time I was at Wackos in JAX (afternoon) dancers would just come up, sit, introduce themselves, and then demand a tip. Without even asking to sit down. So many desperate ROBs. I hightailed it out of there.

One of the worst things about club culture is the dancers who get jealous of other dancers who are outperforming them. They can kind of gang up and treat them shitty to try and run them off. In reality, they should appreciate them for making the club exciting, and try to pick up some action on the edges.

Just bouncers treating me like I’m one kid the thugs thinking they need to keep me in line just because some other guy was fucking around. I tell them “I don’t need to be here. I can spend my $$ elsewhere.”

Rightfield@ Sometimes I feel the jealous dancers can have themselves to blame because those dancers usually obsess about upselling versus customer service!

I had a dancer crew nights ago ask me for one of my beers and I flat out said no! lol There’s plenty of patrons who will buy drinks for dancers. I’m not one of them.

"Do any of you guys get frustrated with club culture sometimes?"

Yeah, but it's the cost of doing business.

That's one reason I largely avoid the club I live closest to. Some of them will just come up to you and beg for a tip just to talk to you.

@DandyDan: That’s why going to some clubs (not all) are a joke. I am usually the dude who is looking for the right gal and once I get my laps, I bounce lmaooooooo.

@MrT5: Problem is a lot of a girls think they are entitled and they think they can get money. Issue is that you have to work to get a tip and you have to make sure that the customer likes you first before doing anything!

I tend to give them a dollar as a tip if they’re not really deserving of anything more.

This is why I prefer weekday and Sunday afternoons

I have no problem saying no. Blank expressionless face and a no. I don't tip on take-out either.

@Skibum609, Jascoi, sfrsox: Yeah I totally agree with you all. I once went to a club and someone asked for an up front tip like wtf you gotta earn it. I am not a simp like that.

I would also point out that even if you piss off a dancer and come across as cheap, if you're attracted to her, the odds re great you'll get another chance; at your price point.

skibum609@ I have this instinct that if you dance in the lap area and the dance is a scam, they will be a scam. I also have this instinct that the dancers that do "VIP Only" are very low mileage and scam customers a ton. I don't simp and even if I get rich, I most likely won't spend a fortune with dancers tbh.
