Man, that hayride thing should have been cool. And the photos were... made of suck. If you want to take photos in a place of business, it's polite to ask-- I've asked even in furniture stores (as in, 'My brother won't tell me what he wants in his bedroom. Can I take photos of promising pieces to show him? I'd bring him, but he won't even look at furniture in Wal-Mart if he's already there.'). And if you're told to stop... stop!
The Indian guy, though, I almost feel bad for. Almost. At least he got that you're not prostitutes, but it sure sounds like he had his hopes up. Don't ask me why it's easier to feel badly for him than for every other guy who assumes stripper = hooker. Maybe language and cultural barriers. Usually I read that kind of thing and go 'haha, dork.' With this guy, it was more like, 'well, that must've been pretty disappointing.'
In India, nothing has a set price. They haggle over EVERYTHING. My partner spent two months there and his Indian friends thought he was nuts for not haggling.
So this guy may have really thought that everything is negotiable.
It seems to be a cultural thing. Heck, my fiance ribs me for not negotiation when we're in Chinatown... but he has, and gotten deals. *shrug* I'm just used to set prices. :)
Why is it that so many of them think that dancers = prostitutes?
I think it's called "wishful thinking", with a side of "The logical part of my brain knows that it isn't so, but if I ignore that part, perhaps my dream will come true anyway".
i seriously think, when i read your posts, that people have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. none.
and i halfway feel sorry for the indian guy too. not totally sorry, but a little sorry.
it's funny, here in sacramento we have maybe one or two dancing clubs like yours. the rest are all-nudes or at least topless. reading about your drunken patrons i am very glad that those topless and all-nude bars don't serve any alcohol! goddess knows what trouble those girls would have!

At least he listened?
