3 types of people at work to avoid
http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-arti...s_to_avoid-333
I'm a chatterbox in the dressing room only, never on the floor unless it's a customer.
WTF do I always end up with the constant complainers where ever I go? They seem to seek me out and think I give a damn.
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
This is why I bring an ipod to work for when I get ready. I don't want to hear other girls un-asked-for complaints about how today is so bad, and the club is dead, and the guys are cheap assholes, and basically "good luck, don't expect to make shit tonight." I'd rather listen to Tiesto while i get ready and start off right! ;D
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
Ha!! They must work in a strip club:
The Shoulder Rubber
You would think that sexual harassment awareness training would have rendered the Shoulder Rubber (S.R.) extinct, but he's apparently a hardy creature who thinks he's being supportive.
S.R. will find you if you're down and out, or if you're at the top of your game. If you're looking particularly dejected, watch out. S.R. will try to comfort you with an unsolicited and uncomfortable back rub.
Despite vigilance on the part of human resources departments to deter this behavior in the workplace, S.R. may not know he's violating your personal space. If it's merely annoying, try to avoid sitting anywhere near him during meetings. Don't brush by him in the hallway. Do not linger at his favorite water cooler. If S.R. catches you off guard and goes in for a massage, you can say something like, "Please stop. I have dry skin (or another condition) and that's just making it worse."

these 3 characters also describe some of the customers to avoid not just coworkers
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
The Shoulder Rubber is definately this one bouncer at my club. I try my damnest to avoid him. Just when I think I'm in the clear, here he comes to be supportive while trying to rub my back and tell me how gorgeous I am...yuck~!
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
Oh god I HATE the shoulder rubber! I worked one club for 2 days-they had a guy who hung around and went to the store for girls (weird I know, you could get food ordered in!). Yep, he was the shoulder rubber. I was there like an hour, bored (it was early) and he reached over to try and rub me. I ran off! I'm a back rub whore, but ugh. I'd rather pay the massage girl, thanks.
They forgot 'tells you how to do your job' chick.

I used to let it get me down when girls talked like this, but I've taught myself to get excited instead. Girls complaining = girls sitting by the bar all night = more money for me, since I actually get off my ass and talk to the customers!
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
don't forget the customers that want to argue with you about everything from your name to your boob job ;)
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
What about the ones that tell you how smart you are "for a stripper" or how "your not like all the other strippers" and "Wow, you seem so normal for a stripper"....grrr
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
or that tell you you're too good for this job, you can seriously get something better 'out there' so you don't have to sell yourself in this horrible business. ::) all while handing you $20 billz... alllllight.
um, bitch - "i've been doing this for seven years, i think i know what i'm doing." - quoted from a dancer last night, the most wonderful response. eva. shut the custie right up.

I HATE this. Guys who say...you're too pretty to be here(umm..because you came to see naked UGLY girls??),you have a degree..you're too smart to be here(I'm smart enough to know that working whenever I want for a crapload more money is WAY better then working 60 hours a week for $28,000 which is about what I could make with a 15 year old BA in psych!)
Seriously...be HAPPY that theres a pretty,smart girl here you can have fun with. I ask them if they'd like me to go find a stupid ugly girl for them instead! Puts things in perspective!

Cam I totally agree.... would they really like a piece of mediocracy to sit with or get dances from??? isn't the whole point to see beautiful women at work??? good lord.
Re: 3 types of people at work to avoid
Beautiful smart women at that. I like your answer Cameron. I'll have to remember that the next time someone says something like that to me. It happens, even when all your selling is words on a page for the moment.

I get excited too. Good, get all your friends and mope in the DR while I work the floor.
I'm actually a bitcher. I don't even mean it to be negative so I try to counteract my tone by giving disclaimers all over the place like "this is just my experience, you'll most likely be fine" because I always seem like a downer for some reason. I'm really not though! Some people just come off that way.
I don't care if people tell me I'm too smart to be a stripper or too pretty. I don't look that into things people say. I take it as a compliment. Even if they are intending it to be backhanded, that doesn't mean I have to see it that way.
