Customer Turn Off's.....How Not To Be That Club

minnow

Any place that interests me.

OK, so there are far fewer clubs than there are dancers & customers. It is also true that people will put up with a certain ammount of crap as a price to pay in pursuit of "certain things." None the less, the club (and by extension, the mgt.) is a part of the total equation. One piddling gripe added on to several other gripes can be the straw that breaks the camels back, and drives a good motivated customer elsewhere.

So, I'll kick things off with this universal corrolary: WE(the customer) understand the need for YOU (the club) to make money. Just don't make it too obtrusively obvious to us that you are doing so. Some specifics: 1) Don't hound us for drinks- either regular, and especially overpriced dancer drinks. 2) Don't hire a bunch of guys looking to get their palms greased every time we turn around.( Understand the need for security, and a certain ammount of muscle at times, just don't let me seeing them walk by me as often as dancers) 3) Don't try to nick us with too many gimmicks & fees (unless they TRULY stand out from the competition). If you're going to charge us for parking, it better f-ing be covered parking keeping us out of the rain. If you're going to foist shotgirls on us, they better be playmate quality. If you insist on having bathroom troll, they'd better have some good candy, gum, breath mints, cologne, etc on hand, not some bored guy on his cellphone. Oh, and if he has shoeshine kit(you ARE running an upscale club, aren't you) please insure that he knows not to use brown shoe polish on black shoes, or can read English). 3) Don't insult our intelligence with clipped song 2fers.

In closing this post, I realize that you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear- no ammount of user freindliness is going to offset too many fuglies,& no/low mileage is not a bargain. Yet with number of clubs doubling in the last decade or so, and more $pending cu$tomer$ on the internet, it doesn't take too much to have them $pending time & $$$ at other club.
