I don’t doubt what you are saying is true. Though I have never seen it.
The typical modus operandi in US strip clubs is the girls circulate, but each on has to go on stage when it is their turn. The idea is, all the girls will dance at some point. While they are dancing is when you put a dollar or $5 etc in their garter ( elastic thing on their leg) if full nude, and if not, in their g-string.
Once the girl is finished, if you like her, then you ask he to give a private dance, or backroom, VIP section or whatever the club has. Generally it is $5 at skank places to $20 dollars per song. Anything after that or during would depend on location, the girl and is guaranteed fo be more then $20 plus tip.
Now, admittedly my post is dated since I have not been in a US strip club in years. But back in da day😎
I realized when I called one poster a “Baller”, for giving $5 per girl on stage he was talking about $5 CDN or like $2.60 USD, so he is only half a baller. 😜
What the hell is Tooney bar?
