Lotta money for a whole lotta nothin

Wound up in Diamond's with some friends after a few too many drinks in downtown STL. Cover was $20 cash, quick pat down and we were on our way. Bar is right in front of you as soon as you walk in, I think beers were $10. Right behind the bar is a smaller stage, main stage is in the middle of the floor (you're sort of on the left side when you enter), and there's a third smaller stage on the far right with seating all over with seats being slightly elevated towards the further you are (closer to the entrance) and a private dance and VIP section behind the main stage. The overall look of this place was really nice, and I had really high hopes that this would turn out to be an awesome visit.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Where do I start. The girls? there were probably about 20 or so most of them talking to each other or on their phones not really seeking any attention, and almost all of them were Hispanic or black and ages probably ranged from mid 20s to 30s. Initially it looked like there were quite a few white girls, but no, all the blonde chicks were Cuban lol. I'd say most girls were in the 3-6 range with maybe a couple 7s and one 9 (who I was fortunate enough to receive a dance from later). As for the stage dances, they kinds sucked. Most of the dancers were pretty slow, not much pole work or twerking, and I don't think any ladies took their tops off on stage (aside from an occasional flash) let alone their bottoms. As for lap dances, they were $60 per song, and a friend told me the VIP room was $300 for 15 min after a bit of haggling (I didn't ask for a quote and he was pretty drunk so this may be off).

After a while, I make my way over to the bar where I act like I'm interested in a drink, but I really just wanted to talk to this cute redhead. After a bit of talking I agreed to a couple dances. Rules were pretty standard for touching, nothing between the legs, but everything else goes. Unfortunately these dances, despite being $60/song, are topless air dances (no grinding, maybe some ass to body contact but not much). I did ask to see more and it seemed like they have a 3' rule or something because she got up, pulled her panties over to the side and showed me everything I wanted. The only caveat was that I had to stay seated and her panties "had to stay on" (even if they're pulled to the side or at her ankles) and she was well beyond arms reach. I thought maybe she's new, shy, or had a bad experience so I figured I'd try a dance with someone else while I'm there. I eventually make my way to a blonde girl who turns out to be Cuban and can hardly speak English. Still she was attractive enough so I decide to get a dance from her. We get to the booth, she takes my money, and when we're about to start, she says she's gotta go but promises me my dance. I'm confused because she's telling me this in broken english and I think she just robbed me but she grabs my hand, led me to on of the side stages, and tells me to sit. about 5-10 min later she comes back and starts a set on the stage (and gave me some attention which was nice). Now I'm understanding why she had to leave so suddenly and afterwards we go back to the booth and she gives me that dance. Rules for the dance were exactly the same as the previous, mostly air dance, panties to the side 3' away, etc. This girls was SUPER pushy about tips and kept begging me to take out some ones. Then after the couple dances, she's still pushing for more tips despite having already tipped on the stage and during the dances not to mention the fact that she was being a bit racist to me during and after the dance (and she didn't want a few bucks, she was asking for a couple Jacksons). Needless to say I politely declined and left. For the record, not all strippers are like this here. The first girl was super sweet, didn't ask for a tip, and when I did give her one as we're leaving the private dance area, she gave me a big hug and a motorboat.
