Strippers for You The business manager called me a c*, and we never even got to see a dancer. Nationwide
The business manager called me a c*, and we never even got to see a dancer.
Two weekends ago, we hired a dancer through StrippersforYou for my best friend’s bachelorette party. Originally, the dancer was scheduled to arrive on Friday night at 10 PM at our location Eastern NC. That evening, I received a phone call stating that the dancer was running late and could not make it until 1 AM. We spoke and agreed that, instead, he could come the next day at 3 PM. The conversation was civil and very pleasant. The girls were excited for the next day.
Around 2:30 PM on Saturday, we herded everyone off of the beach and into the condo for drinks. It was a surprise for the bride-to-be, so we co-conspirators looked at each other and grinned slyly. 3 PM rolled around. No dancer arrived, but we were still excited and poured more mimosas. At 3:15 PM, I started glancing at my phone, but there were no messages, and there was no dancer. At 3:30 PM, I stepped outside to call the company to ensure all was alright and the dancer was still scheduled.
The phone picked up on the fifth ring. I said hello, still smiling with a cup in hand, and let the employee know we just wanted to make sure the dancer was on his way.
“Yeah, no, he got a flat tire. He’s not coming out.”
This was said rapid fire, and I blinked. The man’s voice was tighter, higher-pitched than the one I had spoken to the night before. “I’m sorry, what’s that?”
“I said he’s not going to come out and you’ll get a refund.”
I blinked again. I opened my mouth, prepared to see if another dancer would be available later that evening – after all, we had until the next day. “Okay, is there a way we could –“
The man’s voice barked into the receiver, cutting me off. “I already told you three times, you stupid b* – he’s not coming and you’ll get a refund.”
The phone cut off.
I stared at the phone, my eyes narrowed in disbelief. I called again, my smiled forced, breathing in and out. A woman picked up after seven rings.
I did my best to frame my response in a neutral manner. “Hello, I apologize, I was on the phone with a gentleman there a moment ago, and I believe we got cut off. We had a dancer scheduled for today, and we were informed he won’t be able to make it. I was hoping to speak with someone about seeing if another dancer might be available or see what else might be done – this is just a big weekend for my friend, and we’d be very interested in trying to work out a later time.”
The woman was generous, nice, and effusive. “Of course, not a problem! Thank you for calling us back. If possible, let me put you on hold, and we will see what we can work out.”
“That sounds great!” I sighed, relieved, still smarting somewhat but excited our plan could still proceed.
I was on hold for nine minutes.
I hung up and redialed, my nostrils flaring and all trace of the day’s smile gone. It went to voicemail. I called again. After seven attempts to call, I heard the buzz of a line pickup. It was the first man I had spoken to that afternoon, the one who had cut me off originally.
I steeled myself and kept my voice assertive but level. “Yes, I have called here twice before. The first call I was cut off, and the last I was placed on hold with no response. I would like to speak with a manager or a supervisor to discuss this issue.”
“Quit f*g calling us, you f*g c*. I am the manager, so f* off.”
This was my last interaction that day, but it won’t be my last interaction this month. I will post this review on every site and report to every agency that I know. If any of you out there have been similarly treated, please contact me. This was a simple business transaction – if there had been no remedy and no dancer was available that evening, we would have been disappointed, but we would have moved on. I have no problem with profanity; I use it regularly. However, the response I received was not proportional to the annoyance I posed. This company did more than breach a contract – the breached the code of decency. For anyone else who has endured similar treatment, let’s band together and demonstrate it will not be tolerated.
