From what I've heard it's actually so that if the staff catch someone smoking they have somewhere to dispose of the lit cigarette. I don't know if that's accurate though.

It sounds like the most reasonable explanation. There's probably a whole list of safety regulations prohibiting a cigarette butt from being disposed in any other way.

It's because there's going to be some dumbfuck who lights up anyway regardless of the sign. So when they do, that cigarette sure as poo poo better not be going into the wastepaper basket and starting a fire on an airplane.

There's actually really good reason for it too, as a plane crash in the 70s was due to a fire started by a cigarette in the bathroom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varig_Flight_820

It depends on where you are I think.

In areas where you don't see many $2 bills, strippers love them, and can't get enough of them.

In areas where you see a lot of them, and/or the club actively distributes them, they hate them because they can't get rid of them.

I've actually wondered for a while how it works in Canadian strip clubs. Is $5 the minimum tip, or do you just toss loonies and toonies up on the stage?

$5 at least, although I'm sure some people are dumb/cheap and try to pull stuff with coins.

Having said that, you can get a full contact lapdance for $10 and we don't do bullshit no-nudity allowed anywhere ever like in some states. This is based on my last time at a strip club like 10 years ago, though, so they could be using some weird points system now for all I know.

It's bizarre, I think it all varies depending on where you are in the States. For example, since moving to Ohio, no one tips on stage, ever, so dancers are always confused when I walk up and try to tip them.

Ohioan here, tipping on stage is normal in every club I've been to. Might just be that one.

Though, the stage tipping area is known as "creep row", so that might be why.

Yeah you more or less throw coins at them. The clubs I've been to, after she finishes dancing, the stripper goes around perv row with a rolled up piece of paper, and if you get your coin in it, she gives you a magnet or a poster or something. Or sometimes they like... wet a spot on their body and you get a prize if you can get a coin to stick to them.

e: oh and when she's done, a dude comes on stage with a magnet on a stick to get all the coins she missed

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
If I remember the places in Canada I've been to correctly, there were often little containers on the edge of the stage that most people put their coins in and when she was done, the dancer would just pick them up and empty them into like a hat or some larger container she had hiding just offstage or something.

Or, if you're really :airquote: lucky, :airquote:, you put the coin in your mouth, bend your back over onto the stage, and she'll pick it up out of your mouth without using her hands.
