might be transfered to the opening section? But anyway
I don't use openers but when I hit on waitresses or any other hired guns I usually try to make some cocky funny stuff at first and then later try to get them out of their working programm...you have to talk to them as a person not a hired gun!
I think doing this with strippers is even easier because they are willing to spend time and talk to you. waitresses instead have to work as you know
So what you may want to do is talk about why they to what they do. A waitress/stripper maybe studies at the local college or what ever.
You could also try some NLP stuff like Ross Jeffries picking up the waitress in The Game
