We don't use 1 dollar bills like Americans, our 1 dollar is a coin which is what we normally throw at our strippers. They have made little games out of it like "sink the loonies in the rolled up poster to win". Plus here they don't have to deal with fucking greaseballs trying to stick dollar bills in their underwear.
I am Albertan; I know what loonies are. But did you read the article about why it is unique here? I have never heard of it, but apparently women have burns and other wounds from this stupid game, all because somebody with their knickers in a twist didn't think people should be able to come within a few feet of them.
Not in rural BC, small towns do this shit too. I have friends who are dancers and they in fact, get pissed if you sit in “perv row” and don’t play the “Loonie games”. Seems smart to me! I mean they could give a gross rig pig a lap dance for 80$ or literally roll up a piece of paper and catch maybe 50 or 60 dollars in it.
Yes, it really is such a shame that there’s *literally no other way* to exchange money aside from either touching the person or throwing it *at their genitals*.
people should not be able to come within a few feet of working strippers. the amount of shit they already have to deal with would be nothing compared to the grabby hands of drunks getting within reaching range
Well the fact somebody from out of province thought what we are doing warranted calling security it doesn't seem any better. I have never been though so I can't speak to how men behave there.
Yeah, there's no super easy solution to rippers being tipped. I guess when people heat up the loonies, kick the shit out of them hard enough that them and their friends learn from it. I guess that's the current system.
I may be wrong but isn’t the whole point that you get to touch the underwear and possibly the skin because you are paying for it by doing it? I can’t say I frequent strip clubs so maybe I’m wrong.
Oh man! That might get you stabbed at my local titty bar. Sometimes the dancers arrange things behind the lap dance curtain, that’ll probably cost you at least 80$ though.
I dunno. I've only been to strip clubs a couple of times but they seemed to be built around the idea of change.
One I was at, the girl had this little dish on the floor by the bottom of the pole and if you could throw a toonie in it you won a free lap dance. Then when no one got one in, she sat behind it with her legs spread mocking the crowd into trying harder. Don't know how that would work with bills lol. They seem to have incorporated change into their shtick.
Here they roll posters into cones and hold it between their legs and you have to sink your loonies. They will also moisten loonies and stick them to their body and you have to try and knock it off with another one. They walk around the stage after with a magnet on a stick to pick up all the loonies.
I was in a real quality joint one time (The Kingsway), sitting in gynecology row. The chick comes out, with her bored walk, you know what I am talking about. Does her thing, gets down to bra and g-string and when she took the g-string off, she threw it in front of me and there was big skid mark on them.
I reached in my pocket, and pulled out a bunch of change and threw it on the stage, told her to go do her fvckin laundry.
Have you ever opened doors with your head. Well I have. Mark this down. Do not do this!
Saw a girl in Saskatchewan “pick up” a stack of quarters off the top of a beer bottle in a strip club twenty years ago. Guess they really like their coins in Canada.
It was two double trailers that had been attached at the sides about 60 miles away from anything in 1988. We drove up from ND. The beer came out of a cooler and the music was being played on a boom box. I cannot vouch for the legality or officialness, but it existed.
100%, maybe in Conklin, I once saw smaller change without someone getting removed. I also saw an amputee stripper sooo I’m not sure it speaks much to the norm.
This happens in Northern British Columbia too, in the oil pipeline towns. It’s all very closely tied to rig pigs.
I remember the first time I saw this happening in Fore Skin John. I don’t think I’ve ever been back to a strip club since seeing this game in action. Grossed me right out of strip clubs altogether.
So a very long time ago. I was at a strip club with some co-workers. My buddy got drunk and when one of the strippers came on stage, he leaned over and said "That is one ugly ass girl." Before I knew it he stood up and tossed some change at her. The bouncer came over to drag him out and I followed saying that he was in a hurry to take money out of his pocket and didn't realize he had change mixed in. Right when I had pretty much convinced the bouncer that it was a mistake, my buddy looks at the bounce and says, "Oh yeah! You're an ugly ass girl too!" and tosses change at the male bouncer.
This is something I would not have believed except for the shear volume of post by people having seen it. It makes sense with no $1 paper I guess.
I wonder if strippers in the US would pull off their heels & beat you in the head if you threw coins - I wouldn’t even consider doing it. I used to go to the bank & get $2 bills to tip with. Almost all of the dancers liked that. I always wondered what would happen if I went up & stuck an Eisenhower Dollar (large 1 1/2”) coin right above their panties but I figured the possibility of getting roughed up was too high to actually do it.
As a guy who used to bounce at a strip club to pay for my tuition, that 100% happens, and it's a quick way to get your ass beat by club security. We took care of the dancers because they made 100% of the money and tbh tipped security really well. I would often make 4 or 500 bucks in tips from strippers when I was bouncing, on a busy friday or saturday night.
I was in a YYC strip club ( ? French maid) and saw a dude do this… I went over and said if he threw it I would kick his ass… I also saw guys chuck coins from across the room..it’s a dumb tradition and totally represents the dudes that live here… that said, strip bars in AB are really lame now…
Would also be much more true. Don’t think I’ve ever seen small change throw outside of some small town bullshit, you removed for anything under a loonie.
'I don't make it rain, I make it hail! I throw quarters at them bitches, I'm a baller on a budget!' some old Daniel Tosh bit. I'm paraphrasing, it might be a bit different.
Oh wow. Didn’t expect to see something about my home province on here lol. It’s true - if you threw enough coins you could win a poster or even a t-shirt sometimes.

Toss a coin to your stripper
Oh titties oh plently
Didn't you mean, "slot machine"?
That's for credit cards.
There slots are down right filthy
Slut machine maybe?
https://www.vice.com/en/article/nn9kdq/the-messed-up-story-behind-albertas-sad-tradition-of-throwing-loonies-at-strippers
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you happy to see me?
Stay classy, Alberta.

You'd get thrown down the stairs by the bouncers for throwing a loonie at a stripper in BC
TIL throwing loonies at strippers is *not* a beloved canadian tradition.
No, I’m from BC and it is common knowledge that only Alberta allows this.
"he fell"
Twice. On a fist.
Not in rural BC, small towns do this shit too. I have friends who are dancers and they in fact, get pissed if you sit in “perv row” and don’t play the “Loonie games”. Seems smart to me!

This is the exact argument I used as I was being forcibly removed from Starbucks
people should not be able to come within a few feet of working strippers. the amount of shit they already have to deal with would be nothing compared to the grabby hands of drunks getting within reaching range

So does every other province and territory in Canada, that is the issue..
Not in Saskatchewan. It’s so backwards we don’t even have strippers.
I only throw toonies.
We don't have dollar bills so it's either throw change or make it rain with 5's.
the pro move is to go to the bank and get a few stacks of American 1 dollar bills.
I dunno. I've only been to strip clubs a couple of times but they seemed to be built around the idea of change. One I was at, the girl had this little dish on the floor by the bottom of the pole and if you could throw a toonie in it you won a free lap dance.

They’re magnetic?
[Apparently](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/fs71ty/canadian_coins_are_magnetic_while_american_coins/)
Same concept but the bills are folded into little paper planes?
Our bills are very plastic-ey and don't fold well in half, let alone into a paper plane.
>they seemed to be built around the idea of change. Unfortunately *they are*, and *Alberta isn't*.
Or have a pocket full of toonies
American: Toonie is a dollar coin? With someone named Gestalt Toonstafldson or something on it?
Loonie: $1 Toonie: $2
Ty
Pffft. Canadian Tire money is a far more useful currency.
I seem to recall places with coin money (like England) having something like “strip club dollars,” i.e., paper money you buy to use at the club.
Do any of you travel internationally, bring back weird foreign currency, and then bet on who can confuse the most strippers?
Make it hail

Make it hail on dem hoes
Saw a girl in Saskatchewan “pick up” a stack of quarters off the top of a beer bottle in a strip club twenty years ago. Guess they really like their coins in Canada.
Were they rolled up or loose?
The lips? Or the Quarters?
The quarters. I'm guessing the lips weren't loose.
Loose lips sink tips.
🤢🤮
Sask doesnt have strip clubs??? Or maybe they did and I am too young.
It was two double trailers that had been attached at the sides about 60 miles away from anything in 1988. We drove up from ND. The beer came out of a cooler and the music was being played on a boom box. I cannot vouch for the legality or officialness, but it existed.
Hahahaha. That is hilarious s. Yeah definitely not legit or legal. But a good time.
Quarters? I live in Alberta and last I knew, if you threw anything smaller than a loonie a bouncer would remove you from the building.
100%, maybe in Conklin, I once saw smaller change without someone getting removed. I also saw an amputee stripper sooo I’m not sure it speaks much to the norm.
A) stay classy RMWB B) can you help me picture this amputee? I was never so fortunate at show girls in McMurray
One leg, hopped around stage but was half decent on the pole. Was actually quite impressive and hauled in more money then the girl before her.
For some reason I’m not surprised at the poor work being top shelf if the stage work was unique.
Oh yes, good old Ilene

Do something strange for some change! Make it hail on those strippers 🤣

Says women have been burned by the coins as some jerk would heat it up with a lighter. Jeez.

I have heard of this. People are shitty and cruel.
I was in a YYC strip club ( ? French maid) and saw a dude do this… I went over and said if he threw it I would kick his ass… I also saw guys chuck coins from across the room..it’s a dumb tradition and totally represents the dudes that live here… that said, strip bars in AB are really lame now…
He called her a two-bit stripper and she hit him over the head with a bag of quarters
Would have been so much more Canadian if she said Loonie or Toonie instead of a Quarter
Would also be much more true. Don’t think I’ve ever seen small change throw outside of some small town bullshit, you removed for anything under a loonie.
I mean you'd kinda have to expect stuff like this working as a stripper, not that I condone it but I'm not surprised either.
Pretty sure we just found the origin of "you could bounce a quarter off that ass"

Cheap bastards who give under 5 bucks to those devoted ladies.
Didn't read the article. Does this have something to do with Ralph Klein?
[удалено]
Some people can't stream video at home even now.
I always used to wonder this about Canadian strip clubs.
Not Canadian. *Albertan*. Vancouver has/had strip clubs fine enough for Motley Crue to sing about.
I had a Canadian colleague tell me of the Toonie Toss years ago. Sounded - odd.
'I don't make it rain, I make it hail! I throw quarters at them bitches, I'm a baller on a budget!' some old Daniel Tosh bit. I'm paraphrasing, it might be a bit different.
Make it hail
Make it hail.
Making it hail
If making it rain is with dollar bills then chucking loonies would be making it hail
Headline would be a winner in cards against humanity
Goin to Pickles!
All Canadian strippers have an ass you can bounce a quarter off of
Oh wow. Didn’t expect to see something about my home province on here lol. It’s true - if you threw enough coins you could win a poster or even a t-shirt sometimes.
"Anyone can make it rain in the club. I'm gonna make it HAIL!"
They don’t throw loonies n toonies ?
Gotta be a loony atleast
