Anyways, so in addition to the dishonesty during tipouts and dance percentages... The owner and manager are accusing me of taking 6-7 absences. That is impossible. I worked six days last week and the week of Valentine's Day. I worked five days the week of Superbowl weekend. I took yesterday off. So, that is a total of five days off.
I am not feeling so great. My sinuses are acting up and I am sure the cold/dry air and secondhand smoke isn't helping. They typically let me have a Wednesday off because there are more than enough girls. I know I took yesterday off, but I don't see what is wrong with working five days instead of six.
I have come in on plenty of days where I haven't felt great. There is no contract saying I have to work a certain number of days. The last time I was up here they asked me which days I wanted to work. Now, I know they didn't really stick to that but whatever. I also understand that they are paying for my hotel. I still think five days are more than enough. I worked five days the week of Valentine's Day. Why is it suddenly an issue?
So, I tried to ask for today off. I text the manager. He has to ask permission from the owner. The owner says no because I haven't made enough in tipouts and stage fees to pay back for the hotel room. Really? I have paid the ten percent of my nights earnings every night. Also, like I stated in my other thread, there were nights where they forced me to pay more. Seriously?? Not enough?
Then, he says I have already had six or seven days off. How is that possible. The manager and the bouncer has seen me when I am there. They have the dance sheets to prove I was there. I paid house fees and tipouts those nights. The camera would show I was there. If that wasn't me then who was it? Hahahaha. There is just no way. Especially, when I ask for a day off they either say no or ignore my text.
I don't know what the fuck their problem is! I don't drink but maybe two drinks each night. Some nights none at all. So, I am not one of the girls who is causing drama and making a scene. I am not one of the ones smoking dope in the dressing room. I am not the one doing extras in the couch dance room. I don't act like a jerk towards the staff or management. Really, I am probably being too nice and this is why they are doing this. I wasn't the one who got arrested and kicked out of the hotel three weeks ago either.
I haven't showed up late to work but one night because I was supposed to be staying home and sick and they made me come in. They charged me 10 extra bucks for that too. Two weeks ago, the manager took 25 extra dollars from me. When I asked him about it he acted like he didn't do anything and claimed that I am the one screwing them over because I don't tipout enough.
He texts me, "I am no idiot. You didn't give nearly enough." When he called up I told him that he didn't give me proper change back when he asked me to turn in my singles. He said, "Well, we will discuss this at work." Guess what, it was never mentioned again. I probably should've said something, but what is the point?
Oh yeah and as per my other thread, they still owe me a reimbursement check from the last time I came up here. They have played games with that too. I should've told them to take my tipouts I supposedly "owe" out of my check then lol. We all know I will not be getting that check.
So I texted him back today telling him which dates I did take off. I even told him that they have proof when I was there. Then he responded with how the owner is ALWAYS right and has it in the computer when I was there. Whatever.
He goes, "I am not arguing with you. He is yelling at me not you." I told him that I was sorry he was yelling. Infact, I dont know why any yelling has to be involved here. If anyone should be yelling it should be ME. I just told him that I would like to know which days I was supposedly absent besides the ones that I know for a fact. He goes, "Okay." Then he doesn't write me back.
So yeah unless you want this bullshit and everyone to be bitchy towards you... Then by all means. Meanwhile, the other dancers have been great to work with. I haven't had any problems. The only girl that has caused me trouble is the bartender. That however is minor compared to the owner and manager screwing me over.
