when you arrive at the club will make him a fast friend. Doesn’t have to be much, it’s the consideration that counts here.
BAR STAFF
There will always be people operating some sort of bar arrangement, even if it is the kind of club that can’t serve alcohol (usually fully nude clubs.) In that case, there may be a single person acting as a bartender/waitress serving you dramatically marked up juice, soda and energy drinks. Other places will be offering a full bar with all the amenities and plenty of bartenders, cocktail servers, and bar backs to make sure that you are never sitting there with an empty glass.
In any case, there will always be staff members assigned to take care of refreshments and provide service at your table or booth. These people will almost always have considerable information on the dancers that work the club so you will need to stay on favorable terms with them. This can often be a pleasant task since the bar staff is usually composed of attractive women in their own right. Information flows two ways as well, so if you act like an ass with the bar staff they are almost sure to tell the dancers. You should always remain on your best behavior since there undoubtedly is no need to make your life any harder than it.
Another thing you should probably know about the bar staff, bartenders in particular. Just like the entertainers, the bar and wait staff are usually hot females who are making a respectable living off their looks. Also like the dancers, the bar and wait staff cultivate customers who they are prone to become territorial over. This can even lead to competition between the staff and the entertainers prized money customers You may find dancers and bartenders taking turns gossiping with you about each other, making accusations, and generally trying to turn you against their rivals.
Once again, you must not allow yourself to be drawn into these soap opera games and intrigues. I can’t tell you how many customers get pulled into these things thinking that they have some inside information and walking around all flattered and “in the know.” They don’t know shit, trust me. Stay out of this kind of thing, always. Let them fight over you and anyone else that they want but don’t allow it to have any significant impact your behavior.
Stay friendly with the bar staff, be courteous, tip and focus on the dancers that are unquestionably the point of you being in the club in the first place. You may just find that if you simply treat the staff appropriately you will be treated better in return. With all the guys sniffing around the bar staff trying to get laid, just acting “normal” can tend to make you more appealing.
HOUSE MOM
Another person that may or may not be present depending on the club you are at is the House Mom . Sometimes there are more than one of these, and they are occasionally male (referred to as a “Houseparent.”) The purpose of the House Mom is to handle issues in the entertainer dressing area. She keeps people from stealing, prevents fights, acts as the representative of management in the dressing room and sells odds and ends (Band-Aids, tampons, nail polish, Tylenol) to the entertainers.
The House Mom also has a role to play in the way the dancers look as they enter and leave the dressing area. Dancers usually need to pass by the House Mom who will check their nails, hair and costume to ensure that they meet the appearance standards that the club requires when appearing before the customers. Some House Moms also make a reasonable living selling dancer clothes and shoes to the girls.
Since the House Mom hears almost everything that goes on in the dressing room, they are privy to a lot of “girl talk.” They will know about any customers of note, and have a clear line on who to talk to and who to ignore. You may or may not ever get the chance to interact with the House Mom under normal circumstances, but it pays to remember
