Thanks for the information and sorry that we did not raise the matter at the time, the fact that you read this so quickly and your swift replies demonstrates how seriously you take your customer service, our positive experiences far outweighed this negative one. We will be back as soon as the schedule and wallet allows!

Oh and to identify him further, his first dance is always to the song "Criminal", I should of taken that as a clue.

Sorry if we have mis-heard his name, as we speak very limited French and the DJ speaks quite quickly with a strong accent it was hard to hear, when he first introduced himself it sounded more like Jon or Jean maybe. He worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday night just passed, he was the shortest dancer there, wore glasses and had a script tattoo on one side of his body. He told us he was 20 which was probably correct. Please note we dont blame the bar at all, we had a great time over the 6 nights we visited. My partner and I take dances with both of us at the same time which is unusual and will be remembered by many of the other dancers we enjoyed, ie Jackson, Nathan, Nick, Andrew, Fabio, Vinnie and a couple more I forget the names of. Last night was particularly quiet and there were very few dancers in, I am sure you can work out who I mean. He ignored us most of the night yesterday but as it was so quiet tried to talk quite late in the evening, I told him to go away as he had ripped us off, he laughed and walked away. Anyway, the point of my post was to try and make sure that other people avoid him and he losses the money he took from us. Karma will do the job I am sure. I should of made a fuss but I didn't want to ruin our night, storming our of the bar would have spoilt our vacation and meant we wouldn't of felt comfortable returning. We enjoy stock very much and write this off to experience, we have visited a number of times over the years and will continue to do so. Every other dancer we encountered was extremely professional and as we requested after two songs checked to see if we wanted to continue each time. We were not used to his way of operating. All the waiters gave great service and had a laugh and a joke with us, to blame the establishment for one person would be unfair. Had it been our first visit and he been our first dancer then to be honest we would never of come back. As for "How would you expect this type of problem to be solved unless you let management get involved ?" I think I have covered that above, simply didn't want to spoil our night/vacation by causing a drama, in the end he lost out as we would of enjoyed him most nights as we did with some of the others. Sadly our vacation is now over so it will be a while before we can enjoy Stock Bar again.

This was two nights ago, not four weeks, stupidly I didn't report it to anyone

Thanks for the reply, I don't blame the bar and unless anyone complains they wouldn't know what he is up to, unfortunately there will always be those that take advantage. It is a shame as he is a popular guy and I wouldn't think he would need to con people this way. I think he's quite new to the bar, he looks like a smaller and younger Clark Kent with glasses to match, unfortunately for me actions destroy beauty, more annoyed with my own stupidity of not learning the first time!

I have been a reader of this forum for a few years but a recent experience has prompted me to join and share my experience Currently in Montreal for the third time and have always enjoyed both Stock and Campus, I will follow with a more detailed review of some of the guys etc I have read about people being ripped off by dancers before but never experienced it. Joel in stock is an attractive guy with a good body, very outgoing and a little pushy but seems to have many clients Agreed to have a private and said to start with two songs and then ask after each. He didn’t prompt so after three songs I stopped and gave him the money, he then claimed it was four songs and I said I was sure it wasn’t but paid as didn’t want the hassle A few days later I allowed myself to be talked into another private, wondering if I had been mistaken. I clearly stated that I just wanted two songs and made a point of asking him to wait for the next song to start. After two songs I stopped and went to pay and again he then claimed it was three. I told him that I clearly stated two and even checked after the first song. He was adamant it was three. I really didn’t want to cause a massive scene and just told him that he had now done this twice and I would not ever pay him again. He knew that he had ripped me off and another client said he had the same experience Silly because I would of had a dance with him every night if he had been fair, in the end, his loss but I suspect he does it to everyone It’s a great shame, I like Stock bar and find most dancers to be very professional in the way they work, I cannot let one person spoil my experience but I hope that this will make others avoid him Had some amazing dances with other guys, will save that information for when I get home
