Strippers of Reddit. Have you ever watched a regular slowly ruin his life over time?
Kind of like how casino dealers talk about watching the same faces come back for years, slowly losing everything, savings, marriage, health. I'm curious if you've seen the same pattern in the club.
Not just a guy who blows $2k on a wild night and regrets it the next morning. I mean a regular you watched over months or years. Someone who kept coming back, kept spending more than he could afford, and you could see it adding up.
Maybe he mentioned money problems, or you noticed he stopped wearing a wedding ring, or he started looking rougher over time, or he just seemed to be chasing something he couldn't afford to keep chasing.
Did you ever see it coming before he did?
Did you or anyone else ever say something to him, or is that just not how it works?
What was going through your head watching it happen?
Did it change how you felt about the job, or about certain regulars in general?
Not trying to be judgmental toward customers or dancers genuinely curious about the psychology of it from the person who had a front-row seat, the way a bartender or dealer might.
