I am not normally one to complain, but I really need to vent! Yesterday was the worst day in 8 years of dancing that I ever had!
About 9 months ago a customer started coming in and we hit it off immediately. He worked in the engineering field, and he would come in about 2-3 times a week and see me. There is a casino right by the club and he was a big gambler, he would always come in and tell me about his winnings (most of which were given to me), even if he lost though, he was always good for about $250-$300 for about 45 mins, he never stayed long, just long enough to get some dances and have a drink. I will admit I did lead him on a bit, and said we would eventually go out on a date, and other stuff like that, nothing that anyone here has never done. He was never too persistent at first and never pressed the issue that much. Well this went on for about 2 months, and then he did get a little persistent and wanted to know exactly when we would go on this date. I told him I was just getting out of a relationship and to just give me some time. Then he stopped coming in.....
Yesterday I worked the day shift which goes until 7 pm, and guess who shows up at about 6:15!!!! He came in with 2 other guys, and I waited a few min for him to get settled a drink, then I went up to him and he was all smiles, he told me that he had been overseas for work for the past 6 months and that is why he hadn't been in the club recently. We were talking, laughing, etc... Then he told me that he had just won $1,500 in the casino and he was here to have a good time with me because we had a lot of catching up to do!
At 6:45 the DJ told the dayshift girls that it was time to tipout and pay up housefees, well I told him that we needed to go into the vip because I was leaving soon, he told me that we was going to stay for a while and didnt want to rush. Then he asked me to stay a little longer because we had not seen each other for so long.
The manager pulled me aside and asked if I heard the DJ's announcement to pay out housefees, and I told him that I was going to stay for a while longer, he told me that I would have to pay night shift housefee as well, after tip out, day shift house fee, and house night fee, I was left with 4 dollars (it was a slow day). So I went back and sat down with him. Meanwhile, drinks are flowing at his table and his friends are all getting dance after dance. He kept telling me after this next drink we would go into the vip.
At about 9:15 he stands up and tells his friends "lets get out of this place". And I ask him what about all the dances he was going to get and he replies to me "Doesn't it suck to have your time and money wasted!!!" and then they all started to laugh and walk out. I tried to get a bouncer to stop them, but there were none around. I freaked out and started screaming at him his whole way out, then after he left I broke down and started crying at a table infront of the whole club. The manager came up and asked me what was wrong and I explained what happened and all he said to me was that in the future I should realize that there are long term consequences to short term benefits!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!!!! Then I told him that there were no bouncers around when I really needed one and he told me that there was nothing that they could do anyways!!! That they can't force a customer to get dances!
So I walked out of there with 4 dollars last night!!!!
I am supposed to go in at 7 tonight but I don't think I have any game in me left!!!! Everyone is going to think I am crazy for freaking out last night.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to vent to people who will understand!!
