Well said, dtek. And Stiletto25, you're right, I mis-spoke. I should have said that if you're not happy with what you're able to make, then you should re-assess whether you really want to be in the business. But as dtek pointed out, it'd be one thing to agree on a price in advance, and another to expect the tip. I mentioned above that I never tip. But several months ago, I did spend some time with a dancer in the VIP, even though she charged more than the normal rate for that club, because we agreed on it in advance, and I was really hot for her. Brandyjane simply needs to be honest and up-front with her customers, and honest with herself about whether or not she wants to be in the business.

This has all pretty much been said above, but I need to chime in on the tipping... I never tip for dances either. The cheapest dances around are $20 per song, and some clubs are more than that. If you feel you deserve more than $20 per 4 to 5 minutes, you might want to re-assess. If you sell 3 dances per hour (and if you can't then you should find another job), then you're making $60 per hour. If you work a light shift, say only 6 hours, that's $360. Ok, you have to pay a house fee, tip out the DJ, etc. Total, at different clubs, that amount can vary. Or maybe you have to give $5 out of every dance to the club. If you have a very high house fee/tip-out, maybe you're paying $100/night. That still leaves you with $260 for the night. (Even if you had to pay $5 per dance, you're still left with over $200, even after tip-outs.) And that's assuming you only work for 6 hours, so you've got two hours of dead time built into an 8-hour shift. You're making over $1000 per week! And the math above is all based on a very relaxed, easy night, or very slow business. And you're complaining about no tip? Don't get me wrong, I've seen dancers who don't sell as many dances as I've described above. There are a few possible reasons for that. 1) Too lazy to do it - Ok, try working at your job 2) Not attractive enough - Ok, making lots of money is possible for a hot woman, but if you're not hot, it won't work. Give up the fantasy & find a different job. 3) There just isn't enough business at the club - Ok, go elsewhere or recognize that there isn't enough demand in your area as compared to the supply. If you're the one not making the money, then see #1 or #2, above. And one more thing... Don't try to make your point within earshot of the waitress you talked about. She might claw your eyes out.
