Fair point, fizzy....and I think your assessment is correct. Option A - Half-assed handshake from a "want a tip" girl Option B - Handshake and Russian from an enthusiastic "wow....thanks for the extra unexpected money" girl

Not a bad idea, but you would get a half-assed dance....likely less than half as good as normal.

It's not a soup kitchen.

Nick - I saw your reviews are for Philly clubs. If you're from Philly, have some fun when you return, as Philly is among the top SCing cities. If you were merely visiting Philly, then I suppose you're out of luck.

I agree with Buck...but I'm trying to be a bit nicer these days, and avoid replying with either "club when you return home" or hop on a train/bus/plane, and head to another city...which are my common responses to this type of question in strip club deserts such as NYC. Paterson NJ has many options, but requires Uber upon arrival, as none (as far as I know) are an easy walk from a train station.

Try Gallaghers in Queens.

Yeah....I was surprised she was on dayshift. It seems there are too many regulars (PLs) on dayshift, for anyone to fall for her, as a young girl on dayshift is generally a dud.

I stand corrected. Maybe the days of stereotypical PHL girls are numbered.

I think JC's point is that it's not in a high-population area with tons of discretionary money, except for in tourist season(s).

...but wallanon stated it much better than me.

Should be simple to solve. If they have cameras or a LD area monitor, they can see when you went in and out.

Naked in a shed in Paterson.....what could possibly go wrong?

Just spitballing here.... Brazilian Average Looks, but stay fit...yet above 40 Trained in NJ handshake

Brown as in Latina?

I'll take some curves and softness over extreme abs. There is a girl at a club in my rotation that is a gym rat, and often has tight and toned arms and legs. I was pleased to see her return to dancing for summer break, having lost much of her muscular tone. She looked so much better with some softness.

Being "polite to" PLs? Comical? It's their chosen job. But yes...I do understand that they can compose to do/not do XYZ. The issue with matching tip in advance, though, at least for unknown girls, is that you pay double for a mild LD, when you can drive a few miles and have an open menu.

Interesting; seems like she would have been a great time if you were able to stick around, if she performed well knowing you had minimal funds.

So no touching down below = touch as you wish above?

Sounds like you got more than the standard handshake.

Interesting comment about girls demanding matching tip, considering it was, I believe at Millstream, that I saw a sign in restroom, stating that tipping is optional, and you should communicate with management if girls are pushing for tips. They also made a point to state that they are the only club in the area complying with the law regarding employing dancers.

If a dancer is classified as an employee, the club has more control over her, and there could be greater consequences for no-shows. For independent contractor girls, depending on the club, they may not even need to be placed on a schedule. They just show up randomly when they want to dance. For clubs that require scheduling, an independent contractor will likely suffer less negative consequences for call-offs. If anything, they just get a few days on the street. It's either Millstream or Gold Club in Baltimore that has a poster in restroom stating the dancers are employees. Nevertheless, I believe a distinction was made earlier about roll-call (girls added to schedule as they arrive for a shift) vs a future schedule. I doubt enough PLs would check the roll call in real-time to make it worth the effort for club staff. And, by the time a PL gets to the club, girl(s) may already be gone.

Wow! Increased dance and VIP prices, as well as $22 lady drinks. No wonder business is down. Why would anyone pay those prices, when there are places nearby where much more fun can be had. As a place that is merely just a "bar with strippers", those prices are a bit much.

We need to be worried when the focus of a club is its aesthetics, rather than the experience.

I never understood the logic of "let me first collect an additional $6 in tip walk tips first, before I proceed to a higher-earning VIP". It's a good example, though, of this club being a waste of time.

People with reputable jobs and/or SOs care about the pitfalls of ID scanning. Who wants to receive unsolicited ads in mail, or be visited by LE to investigate something that may have happened while you were at club (even if you were merely a witness). On a more "out there" scale, there is also risk of blackmail.
