I don't have kids, but I also don't think it's a sympathy ploy either... maybe with the girls that are not good looking and can't hold a conversation... but like it was said, people talk about their kids and come on... most guys in the club have kids too... it's a way to have a quick common bond, case in point "really, what baseball team does your son play for? Really, I think we play you guys"... I mean, I would talk about my cat if it wasn't creepy and dumb... :)
I worked there for 4 years, I've seen it probably 7 times there, and I just want you to know it probably was NOT a customer, it was probably another girl. Either through jealousy, because someone paid her or because she has enemies... ALL 7 times and the 2 other times that I have seen it in a different club ALL have come from other women, mostly wait staff...
These things happen, I've been drugged also in a strip club (and twice at other clubs) GHB is an evil, evil drug and it's very powerful.
That club used to be so nice, it's sad to see it turn so dark and ghetto, it's gross. When I was working (a little over a year ago) GHB was not the largest problem, but I won't go into that...
It comes with the territory though, let it be a lesson to your friend that drinking at work is NEVER a good idea, no matter what.
I've known several male dancers in Vegas, New York, Chicago and Houston and I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but non of them made "good" money. They all were very, very attractive but the downfall (for them, I don't know, maybe not you) is 90% of your clients are Gay Males.
Interesting, I've never heard of a 2 for 1 at a club and I've been dancing for 5 years... :) I'd be kind of pissed if I had to dance for free though, sounds like bullshit to me (good for YOU!) but as an "independant contractor" it's amazing that the club could actually force the girls to give free dances. I guess you could always go to the back though... Doesn't sound like a place that management has the best interest for the girls. I'm glad that I work with people that understand that price cutting each other is not going to make anyone money.
I've had a couple of friends come down from their prices, we make the bulk of our money by having customer's pay us to entertain and sit with them by the hour.
Anyway, very interesting, I'm gonna have to share the 2for1 subject later in the locker room and see if any of the gals have had this experience...
