Man doesn't pay for lap dances, is arrested - Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier
http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2007/06/18/news/breaking_news/doc4676c41fba0b5426433438.txt


CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) --- A man who police say tried to steal a dance with a stripper was arrested.

Jason T. Parrott, 20, of West Burlington, was at the Lumberyard II on Saturday night and received eight lap dances, which cost $25 each, court records show.

He refused to pay and police were called.

Parrott was charged with fifth-degree theft and public intoxication.

3. Did they serve him?
He was underage and if the club served him, they might be in far more trouble. (Not that the women shouldn't be paid however.)

8. maybe not
when I lived in Nebraska years ago, we used to go over to Iowa because that's where the best strip joints were. As I recall, many of them were BYOB and 18 and up were admitted, so the club may have been within the law.

12. Those lap dances can add up quickly
Not that I would ever stiff a dancer. But, I know it can be a bit surprising.

wouldn't it have been worse if I had said, "I've stiffed a dancer"?

Instead of me saying I would not do that

22. against the rules?
"stiffing a dancer"?

I would assume you mean not paying them. I'm sure that is against the rules.

If you mean, having sex with them, I'm sure that is against the rules as well.

23. HELL YES!!! FINALLY!
D'y know how many of these bastards I've had to deal with over the years? In the VIP room it's supposedly my fault because I didn't get the money up front; but in the regular dance area I've been ripped off plenty of times because standard is that you get paid after the dance; not before.


Glad to see some actual balls behind the usual promises of help.

28. It's strange that paying after would become common practice.
I wouldn't think of getting one until I gave the money up front. Not that I'm looking for one right now, but still.......... :P

44. Yeah; I dunno why that is exactly..
but I would think it's more of a convienence thing (I really like this song/this girl; etc.) and a good selling point also. If you give a good dance; he's more likely to tell you to keep going (give a taste; etc.). Salesmanship...

29. Now, what would happen
if the kid maybe got a little excited and lost track of how many dances he had had, and then didn't have enough money to pay for 8 dances at $25/dance? I mean, sometimes when you have a sexy young girl bouncing around in your lap, keeping track of whether it's dance #4 or #5 or #6 is not always easy for a guy.

The kid should pay what he had... but, what is the recourse beyond that? If he said, "oops, I lost track of the dances and only have $50?"

I've never done that to a dancer (even when I've lost count at a few more dances than 8...) But, I can see how it happens.

43. It's the dancer's responsibility to ask after each dance....
either for the money; or if they want another; or both. It is courteous and professional to do so. Any dancer who dosen't follow this rule is in danger of being seen as a rip-off artist.
It does go both ways; but in the OP situation it sounds like he was the scammer; not the dancer.

40. Back in my sordid single youth (when I was about 40 or so!)
The bars in Sarnia, Ontario were FULL of truly lovely naked women. Lap dances were STRICTLY money up front, CASH and no premium exchange for US funds. I considered the exchange perfectly honorable, with excellent value given for the money paid.

it would probably save a lot of hassle; but think of it in terms of making a sale. It makes more sense that way.

a lapdance?

37. I'm half joking of course, but it is not uncommon for businesses to run up charges against...
the will of the customer. I've seen people have a bitch of a time trying to quit a cell-phone company and other similar things. I wouldn't have trouble believing that a shady strip club might run under the motto "get em drunk and push the lap dances when they are even more easily suggestible" Ridiculous? Perhaps, but not to long ago we had a thread about a car dealership that ended up having to let a woman return a car that she bought in a manic phase due to her bipolar disorder, a condition of which the car dealer had been completely unaware.

46. Please read my posts and replies upthread. That is common practice in my club.
In fact; it is considered rude to ask for the money up front; and from what I know of the biz (been in 13 years) this is generally true across the board; although it does vary from state to state. As I said; in the VIP room it is upfront; whereas in the general area it is after the dance.

Edited on Wed Jun-20-07 05:44 PM by BlueIris
I mean, how hard is it for folks to grasp that this form of entertainment is a service? Especially, you know, if they have received said service in an establishment designated as one that provides it? Jesus Christ.

Only a man would think a lapdance isn't work worth paying for.
