Dude threw a tantrum on his way out, but I do feel I should’ve done something different

Earlier in the night he was leaning against the bar, talking to me and another dancer. Mind you, it was her very first night, my first interaction with her was with him. Not very far into the three way conversation, he went to tip and upon his return, he took the seat opposite her. nbd at all, I went on with my night.

Close to closing, he came up to my stage and said he wanted a dance before he left. I was my usual self and said thank you, sure, let’s do it. Buuut… he never really broke away from the new girl. At one point she was even wearing his hat. I told my fav girl how he wanted me, but I wasn’t seeing an in, so she took notice and observed and also agreed there was no way to go about it.

By the time the new girl left him, a regular I am friendly with had stopped in just to say hey to everyone, so I was looking over at the guy, trying to wait for a polite break away from the conversation I was in, but he huffed off in a hurry, snapped at the DJ otw out, and I bolted over to see what he said and sure enough, he complained that the girls at my club don’t ask for dances and just hang out at the end of the bar and he could’ve spent money but we’re all too stuck up!

No offense to the new girl, but her boyfriend was there -the entire shift.- 4pm-just before closing. Weird behavior that is not going to fly with the other managers, I’m sure, but god forbid they do — I saw the boyfriend and the guy interact once, but no tell from body language or anything what it was about. We all knew the other guy was her boyfriend, so 0 girls approached him even for chit chat. I gotta wonder if she was telling the customer that nobody goes up to guys because of that??

I’m not sure what to do next shift with her… I think I’ll go against my usual etiquette and ask a guy if he’s ready instead of wait for her to move on. I think I’ll complain to management if her boyfriend tries hanging out for an entire shift again, though I doubt my other managers will let it fly anyway. It all just felt off and that would’ve been my only damn dance of the night. Dude seemed like a fucking idiot, but I would’ve liked to come home with more than fifty fucking bucks, shit.

This is more of a rant, but any advice is welcomed.
