Dancer Refuses Table Dances . . .

jablake
A young hottie over at the RolLexx asked for a dance and I said sure only to learn that she was only willing to do lap dances in the private area.

Said she be right back, I'd have been surprised if she came back, and that was that. She didn't have a single customer in a little over 2 hours. The club was dead as far as cash with most of the customers unable or barely able to afford a beer it seemed.

A few other dancers were very happy with the small amount of business that I gave them stating every bit helps.

Ive had that happen to me as well. They need to lower their expectations now that the Dow is at or below 8500. But they are too damn ignorant.
A few weeks ago at Cheetah in Palm Beach. I asked for a table dance and she said "I only do Laps, Is $25 too much for you " ???

"I only do Laps, Is $25 too much for you " ?

I hope you said, "No, $25 is too much for YOU"

I remember hearing a dancer say that before as well. She was sitting around a lot of the time. Some clubs seem to charge low enough lap dance prices that it's not a problem. One club in my local area raised their lap dance price to $35. At another club just down the road, I can get better dances even though a bit less private for less than half that price and the dances are better.

If dancers are making less money, dance prices need to go down not up and they just need to work longer or harder just like everyone else. Besides dancing for a few extra minutes instead of walking around or talking isn't that hard. The dancers should be doing like the grocery stores saying you buy one dance, you get one free.

Bear in mind that the whole idea of dancing is not not have to work as hard to make money - it's a slacker job. A big part of the slacker ethos is "better to do one job that pays $100, than to do 20 jobs that pay $10 each".

Back in the early 90s - another time the economy tanked - I remember the Cheetah (an upscale - lol, I love that concept - strip club) in Atlanta reduced dances to $5. The dancers were busy non-stop, and they HATED it.

Never forget that 90% of economics is just psychology recast in monetized form.

The Rhino is West palm is doing $10 laps until 8pm. I applaud that. Of course the lazy ones don't want to dance during those hours. Its also $10 All day on Tuesdays. Now that's the way to do it during these tumultuous times !!

So what if she does? Is that really any of your business or is it between her and the club? Like most any business, they are able to "Refuse service to anyone." Well, that isn't completely true, as the business has to have some reason to boot them. Of course, the business really doesn't decide the reason!

Hi clubber,

Some dancers in her club would think it is THEIR business because they want to create a certain type of environment that is pleasing to customers. If she starts saying NO to $5 dances then some customers may get the wrong impression that typical dancer or the club doesn't value their $5. Considering most of the dancers are struggling the last thing they need is some princess making customers feel bad. It is like at Angels the dancers don't want ROBs or more importantly dancers who have a problem with sex. As it was related to me the main society has an abundance of people who are prudes and the last thing needed is to import them unless they're paying customers! The club has a well deserved rep. and they'd like to keep it. :)

Did I feel bad about get the no? Not really----perhaps if she were perfect, then I'd feel bad that she was out of my price range.

Anyway, I think a dancer should be allowed to DISCRIMINATE AGAINST anyone for any reason. And, I think businesses in general *assuming a free market* should be allowed to discriminate against anyone for any reason. :)

Hm...here is the deal...dancers are independent contractors...this means I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone...LOL. Besides, you all would hate my rule...I generally will not take anything off unless we agree to a minimum of 100. I would rather be at the bar drinking. I guess it depends on my mood...I have been known for sitting with guys for free if I am tipsy and enjoying their company and I have also been known to turn down 500 because the customer kept insulting my political affiliation.
Another perspective could be...the money to some girls justifies even being there or being a dancer...so maybe they feel if they aren't going to make what they want, then what's the point.

Well, I think dancer should be free to refuse dances for any reason (and the club and other businesses generally should be allowed to discriminate for any reason). Discrimination because a customer is black? No problem. Discrimination because a customer is old? No problem. Discrimination because a customer wont spend enough or wont buy the dances the dancer wants to sell? No problem.

Now, a majority of dancers may feel any or all of those forms of discrimination must be prohibited by the club, the dancers, and or the government.

Anyway, $5 is big money to me so I can only go to very cheap clubs. For a $100, I'd need to be in madly in love with the dancer. But, heck if I was wealthy then the money isn't such a big deal.

BTW, at that club I've had other hot dancers refuse table dances. Some were off and on. Meaning when they were really desperate for work they'd lower their standards to table dances. This one hottie would reject one day and the next she'd be asking. It all depended on how she was doing that day---it seemed like she had a fixed daily target. She'd reach that mark and boom she is gone from the club. Very attractive----a pleasure to see her if she was selling me dances or not.

Yeah, it depends on a lot of things.... I mean, dancing is a personal act. There are a few types of customer I will refuse at any price. You are right about the girls attitudes changing day to day like that...some nights I go in for the simple reason I have no other plans...on those nights I am not trying to make a goal, just hoping someone I enjoy will come along...It is what it is.
