Have you ever had a situation where a dancer wanted your company to protect herself from or avoid another customer?
I had this happen the other day. A dancer didn't want to deal with an unkempt customer who looked liked he slept in a van down by the river. He came to the stage and tipped just a single dollar and then kept harassing her for lap dances. He spent the previous hour and a half snaking the dancer while she was with other customers all afternoon. The dancer and myself were previously acquainted, and I did like her, so I didn't mind being her port in the storm. I ordered some drinks and we chatted. The creepy guy parked himself at the table right next to ours and kept staring and making hand signals to the dancer. When she needed to go to the restroom, she asked me to escort her most of the way over there, since the guy was going to pounce on her as soon as she was isolated. When she returned, we sat on the other side of the room and did lap dances. The guy eventually left, and you could tell he was pissed.
I have also had other situations in the past where dancers wanted to hang out at my table just to avoid customers that were known to constantly pester them for OTC or were extremely aggressive.
Yes, an ATF would routinely ignore other customers while I was at the club. I was a good spender with her, but even when I wasn't spending anything on her, she would routinely hang with me to avoid other guys.
I was threatened multiple times by other guys for hoarding her to myself, but many times, I wanted her to dance for other guys so she could make more money, and so I wouldn't go broke. One guy tried to start a fight with me in the club, but a bouncer quickly intervened and stopped him. I was also confronted in the parking while leaving by three pissed-off guys because my ATF thought they were assholes and she didn't want anything to do with them. It turned into a shouting match, but luckily, it didn't devolve into a fight.
