No-show without calling might be part of the genetic programming required to work in a strip club :) I've been stood up 4x for dinner in maybe ten attempts. But I only go to clubs when I'm out of town, and I figure I have to eat anyway. So I always bring a couple of newspapers to read, have a few beers and if no joy after 60 minutes or so I order dinner and then usually go to the club anyway. The times when she DID show up have been so much fun that I easily overlook the no-shows. But that's just how I am, it's not a date, just more fun than eating alone. The dancers I know have so much more drama in their lives than I do (thankfully so), it's almost as much fun eventually hearing the story from them... lost phone in gas station bathroom(?), forest fire in the back yard(!), wreck on the freeway and text messaging wasn't working(%), .... And the eventual "I'll make it up to you" is usually fun, too. A dancer did tell me once that no-showing seemed normal to her, guys tell her all the time "I'll be back tomorrow" but don't show, or "regulars" don't show up for planned times. She was surprised anyone would ever call if they weren't going to be there. The club is just a different mode of operation from the business world.
