What I wanted to share with you today is a blog another dancer wrote, funny thing is that she goes by super00nova. What a coincidence! She is a dancer with a blog and calls herself super00nova. I think her blog is good although she doesn't update it often, she writes well, keeps your interest and she is funny. Her blog is called Tales From Beyond the Stage . She has an entry about customer etiquette and I think it is sooooooo on point and hilarious that I MUST copy it and put it on my blog. But is was not written by me, I do not take credit for it whatsoever. I did e mail her and asked for permission to copy this but I haven't heard anything back. Anyways, here it is.
"So, since I have posted about Stripper Etiquette not too long ago, I thought I may share the proper behavior of customers, since we as dancers tend to get a lot of weirdos, out-of-towners, and club virgins. It is always interesting to see someone come in that is so obviously not used to such an environment – you can always spot them from across the club.
I would also like to say that this is both for the customer’s enjoyment and ours as dancers. So let’s get started!"
1. If you do not plan on buying a dance, tipping, or going to VIP, please sit at the bar if you simply MUST occupy the club. (Though, to be honest and very, very clear, we don’t want you there. At least have the decency to forewarn every girl that approaches you that you aren’t interested in her services, but you may buy her a drink (if you even have a soul..))
2. Along the same lines, if you don’t buy dances but still want our company – let us know early in the conversation. Say something nice that still gets your point across like, “I really like talking to you, and I will take care of you on stage, but dances really aren’t my thing.”
3. Please do not let us dance in front of you on stage for a whole song if you only intend on giving us two dollars.
4. If you do not like the girl that has come to your table or would prefer another one, tell her you are waiting on another girl to finish with her customer – don’t be rude.
5. Please do not touch us unless invited to do so, and even then, please be respectful.
6. We don’t think it’s very cute when you rub dollars up our legs or put them in your mouth to give them to us. Keep that in mind.
7. If you’re coming in to find a girlfriend, none of us are interested.
8. You do not need to “hide” the fact that you’re married, nor do you need to make yourself appear to be more interesting than you really are.
9. If you ask “What goes on” in VIP, the truth would most likely disappoint you.
10. Unless it is enough to put a down payment on a luxury vehicle, please don’t expect us to be genuinely surprised by the amount of money you spend. (Not to be confused with unappreciative, I appreciate everything, but few things surprise me as far as how much money someone will blow through in an evening of good company.)
11. Don’t ever use the words “Work for it” when speaking to us or a club employee.
12. Feel free to use the club’s shuttle service if one is provided, it is there to keep you safe after a long night of drinking!
13. Tip your waitress or the bartender well, you will always get better service if you show appreciation!
14. If you just sit down and have a normal conversation with a girl, you will almost always have a better time than if you try to show off or pick someone up. Just relax!
