I bartend! Right now I work at a "strip bar".....its definitely more of a bar then a "club" in m opinion. I personally make anywhere from 150-400 depending on the shift, day, and luck. I make just as much, and some times more then the dancers do, which is why I am bartending instead of stripping. Before working at this bar I worked at a restaurants. Restaurants usually involve alot more bullshit like side work, menu memorizing,.....crap like that. I've also worked at night clubs. I prefer the clubs or plain ol bars. Usually in clubs and bars its busier so I don't have to talk as much to the customers.I never went to bartending school. I think bartending school is a joke.....I've seen friends waste their time and money on it and never land a job! I on the other hand started waitressing, was promoted to" bartender"...and after that I always just went for bartending positions. Most places don't care to much about experience. They want some one reliable, honest, attractive, and a good personality. Also you have to. To be able to multitask and have a good memory.
Your so right! I usually make more then them. However, I may work an hour or two more then them. But I get to keep my clothes on, and do alot less work....so the extra hour or two is worth it. I see girls get up and make like five dollars after their set bc its so slow...........getting naked, for five bucks of less? Fuck that.
I'm sure it isn't the case everywhere, but even when guys aren't getting dances they are still drinking. In my upscale club the bartenders consistently make far more. In the dive club I bartend at, I either make more than the strippers or am at the very least right on par with them. Kinda sad. To me, the only benefit to stripping over bartending is being able to choose your own schedule and leave at soon as the club closes and the customers are gone.
I make jack squat camming. I make wayyyy more bartending and have been doing it for about 10 years. I'm attractive and friendly but for some reason I suck at camming and everyone is cheap. I enjoy getting tipped a dollar for a drink as opposed to a dollar to take off my top.
