I haven't been there post pandemic. But pre-pandemic tips were considerably lower. Like $150-200. Bar got the same $50. Sounds like dancers are trying to make up for lost time as quickly as possible.

Sounds typical for WG. Dancers seems to alternate between overly aggressive or don't give a shit , nothing in between.

All the Illinois clubs in St. Louis area allow 'table dances' not all dancers will do them. Usually $5 or $10 for half a song. Kind of a sample of what a private would be like.

I have noticed that on Friday and Saturday nights it seem to be more common to request payment up front. I think it relates to the type of crowd that comes in on those nights, younger and drunker and more likely to stiff a dancer.

I once had a dancer I was friendly with walk up to me at the mall and begin talking to me and I didn't recognize her at first. I kept thinking to my self "Who is this?" Fortunately I remembered. She was someone who's real name I new so I didn't embarass her by calling her by her stupid stage name.
