My commuting buddy just yelled at a customer " If you don't want dances ... then GET OUT OF HERE ! " at these stupid young'ins wasting our time. I think that qualifies.
I'm totally guility of the first. About your friend who yells ..... She's awesome!;D

When, no matter how strong your superiority complex about working sober is, you start contemplating drinking at work "just to take the edge off."
The Newbies irritate the hell out of me. I just wanna say "Don't worry sweet heart, you'll be jaded with the rest of us soon" and leave her all /:O
Also, I've recently started drinking at work, something I NEVER used to do. Not good at ALL.

Yep, this is me right now.
I think I need a break. *sigh* Too bad I can't afford it.

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
When I'd rather be late with the rent than put up with my club in the first place.
when I get panick attacks on the way to work just thinking about it...
when I avoid ppl that I know I could make money from bcuz I dont feel like putting up with their BS

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
Wen u go home early because u forgot one non inportant thing and your like "no I cant work without it"
Wen u can't even look on SW anymore , yea I went thru a small stage of that but im cool now.
Wen u compare ur clubs to others u work/worked at and say if I was there I'd work harder blah blah but u don't.

I toooootally do this. I obsess about other clubs, especially ones that are expensive-looking. I'm like, If I worked there, I'd go in all of the time! Fail.

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
*When you start dancing to music that you know everyone else will hate, that will not make you more money, but you need it.*
personal favorite set:
*the lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying -the bloodhound gang
*money (that's what i want) - the flying lizards
*don't be a douchbag -
jump smokers

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
I love that bloodhound gang song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i HATE these ones. if im really bored ill confuse and shock him [especially if hes young n stupid] otherwise i refuse to say another word and be all like, good question , ill answer in the VIP, i do interviews in private shows only.
thus he gets frustrated coz i draw everything back to him giving me money.

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
you are dead sober but when you approach the customers you have such a dead inside jaded look in your eyes that they assume you are fucked up...
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
^ I got asked twice tonight if I was high, because apparently I looked it.
I don't smoke weed, like...ever anymore.
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
when you start setting aside craploads of money so if you ever just need to take a month or five off, you can afford to.
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
When you sit with a guy who is interested and say things purposely to make him not. Example...sat with a guy and the minute I thought he actually wanted me to work I asked if he read often leading him to the desired question about me reading. Responded yes and when asked what kind I replied "anything about sales. When I get done dancing that's what I want to do. I get a lot of practice here learning how to hustle and lie with a straight face. I wouldn't have told you that but I know you won't take it personal. I mean, we've all gotta make a living right?" lol! The look on his face was priceless and cheered me up enough to make it through the rest of the night!!
Oh, and other famous I need a break intro I use to often when burnt out..." do you mind if I sit here? I'm on my period and cramping sooooo bad I can't even believe I'm at work..."

I do all of these when I'm at my home club. I think it means I should stop working there, but once in a while I love it there. It just has to be the right night.
For me, it's when someone responds to a dance question with "well, sit and talk to me first/what's your tattoo" and I respond with "I'm going to go make money, BYE!" and walk to the next person.

Totally. That's a more subtle sign of burnout (subtle because it is our job to make money while at work), but you're so right. Not being able to put up with 5 minutes of conversation for $20+ = burnout.

LMAO
I was just doing this at work the other night. I start thinking, oh thank god, I have enough saved to quit for a month...but maybe it can last 2 months..wait, if I don't go out with friends, maybe 3..and if I don't buy stuff, maybe 4, ok yeah 4 months great I'll quit now.
Then I snap out of it and drag my heels to sit at the bar and ignore the customers next to me.
Or when it's almost time to leave for work and I think that I have more important things to do, like cut my nails or fold all my clothes.

Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
I think I have burnout. I slapped a customer.
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
^OMG! Did he deserve it? Lol.
You know you have burn out when you can't listen to the radio anymore, because you think "Argh....so-and-so dances to this one..." about EVERY song you hear.
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
Yes. But I worry a little because he can press charges. Actually it is the second time I have done this. :-\
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
When you love money but you don't go to the club for a week. I forced myself to take a week off as of last Sat.
I had some cash at home but ran out in my purse and had to pull out a card for the first time in 8-9 months. Weird !
-
Re: You know you have stripper burn out when...
Oh .... this is not a legitimate hustle style ? ;)
I think I was doing the same thing. In the last month , I could only work BUSY places ( and not every place is busy all the time of course ). I got to the point where I'd just rather ask 5-6 people "wanna dance" than have to have a real conversation with 2-3 to close .
