Loki got on his high horse on topic crap over in reviews.... errr… encounters... and while I could give a shit about points and such, I know you are always so goodie two shoes that you would have followed his instructions.
So.... To avoid all that -- You can answer here:
Fuckin Handy.
I ask him if he get's a commission, and he goes on and on and on about JUSTIFYING said commission!!!
Well done sir!!
Like most things, facts matter, so there is a caveat or two here, and I've covered them before. Bachelor parties are a different animal. It is a well established practice that dancers who work those tip the guy or guys who are watching over them.
I don't have any problem accepting the gratuity.
we told the strippers and providers that we were hoping they would tip us 10%, following the bouncer protocol, and the standard practice in the strip clubs themselves. The idea was that we weren't going to require a tip out. It was clearly couched as a request, and no one would make a big deal about getting turned down, MY favorite part: but any girls who stiffed us would just be unwelcome in the future
The rest of us had a predetermined formula on the breakdown of the door
Some of the parties were pretty well attended and so we would make some dough, but nothing earth shattering, and anything --
How many? 20? 40? More??
Let's say 40 x $20 = $800.
Minus 20 bucks for two cheap bottles of vodka
10 - 2 liter bottles of mixers = $10
Chips and dip -- $20?
Couple of party pizzas -- $50??
That leaves a $700 profit -- not bad.
It should be noted that I was typically the one who cleaned the club up in preparation for the party, and did the hours long cleanup after the party, often cleaning into the morning and daylight. It was a ton of work, so the few bucks I made at those parties was well earned.
As for the TH caddy, the 80 was your portion of the total donation she got for coming out and riding around with us for a few hours (everyone kicked in the same to have her with us), a lot of the dancers in the past had gotten $$$$ to caddy, so our $.8 or maybe $$.4 (did we have a 4th?) to our caddy was well below market.
Let me refresh you memory --
You and I.
Two of our friends that paid full freight and full caddie fees but did not play
Two guys who we thought would play with us who you collected caddie fees from
And then -- the two guys who we didn't know that we did play with who you also collected caddie fees from.
That is 8 guys (assuming you contributed) That's $640 total.
I was particularly impressed when the two guys who did NOT play with us aasked for their money back and you told them you already paid for the caddie... but you would make sure she rode a few holes with them. (And she hadn't even arrived yet)
If you gave that drunck $640... you got taken.... and if you did give her $640, she should have blown all of us... twice.
And I'm sure I would have been WAY ahead of the game if I handed her the eighty bucks myself.
So nicely done on your end. I'd be surprised if ya gave the drunck chick $200 of that stash.
That is why.... if money is involved -- and you are involved -- I'm running the other way -- as fast as I can.
Nice justification for taking the money though... and never calling it a commission.
