Fired! "Custies on Phone"
hi girls,
I had a situation happen a week ago and wanted to get your input on it. I believe I was not treated fairly and dont know how to deal with club politics...?! I am not good at smoozing and I was also knew at this club.
Now, I was on Dayshift at Big Corporate Chain (not vegas though) becuase my stage was not very good at audition. I was told that I could work my way up to nightshift. Meanwhile, they let me stay for nightshift every now and then IF they are lacking in girls that day--this club has no schedule.
now, i started working days at Big Corporate Chain(BCC) and nights at a privately owned club 15 min away. the managers said I could do that and even recommended it to me when i ased repeatedly to get onto nights at Big Coporate Chain (BCC). They didnt want me on their nights yet....i was a newbie stripper and didnt know many of the rules 3 for 1's, stage rules, etc etc.
So i did days at BCC and nights at the other club for a few weeks, then went out of state for two months. When I came back, I went to work one day at BCC and they told me I should stay for nights as their were not enough girls that night. So, i stayed, and my purse broke and i lost my cell phone on the floor....
The next day, i went to the managers office and asked if he could look through the lost and found and find the cell phone.
when he gave it to me i said, thanx, its important to me b/c I have custies on that phone.
THen, he told me he wanted me to speak to the main manager via cell phone after i got dressed.
I went downstairs, got dressed, went back up to the manager's office, and was given a notice of contract termination..."You cant have custies on the phone, that is against club policy to give out your number and to take theirs"
now , this corporate club has SO many rules. They are afriad of prostitution charges, etc...BUT it Bikini/Topless w/ alcohal...and ALL the girls have second tracphones to get regulars to txt them to come in...they just dont blurt it out to the managers like i did....
HOWEVER, I had NO regular customers on my phone from BCC! They were ALL from the privately owned club as that club has more of a conversation vs. party atmosphere..
How could I have custies from BCC? I had been out of state for two whole months!
They told me that i had to go speak to the main manager...next week and they told me he probably wont change his mind....but then I asked if I was forever barred from working there at BCC again and the manager that fired me said that "nothing is forever".....
I dont know what to say to the main manager at BCC, he might think that i was bringing custies from BCC to the smaller club? That's not true at all...They ARE rival clubs, but BCC is topless w/alchohal and Smaller club is NUDE w/ no alcohal and the main manager even told me I could work elsewhere until i got on nightshift at BCC....
should I say
1)i just said i had custies on the phone in order to get on the floor faster and not have to make chit chat w the manager.
2) I only have smaller club custies on the phone and not BCC custies...becuase I know at BCC we are NOT allowed to get custies number...
ALSO, this club is Located in middle upper class Ethnic nieghborhood...on a nightshift they usually only have ONE regular girl that is of that ethnicity...on paper (she looks like a different ethnicity due to her plastic surgery) Those ethnic Custies LOVE me, and i bank...but since it is topless club and the club makes money off the alcohal NOT the girls, like a NUDE club would, i dont think they care that I am the only "ethnic girl" there...or do they? I have had multiple VIP hosts, bartenders, saying that I am a valuable asset to the club due to my ethnicity...BUT the manager doesnt seem to care. THe manager seems to personally not find girls of my ethnicity attractive....
I am slender, with a bubble butt and large natural breasts...can get hired at most clubs but with school schedule the BCC is the only one that can fit into my schedule! and not have to drive 1 hr plus both ways!
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
Whatever you say your going to put your foot in your mouth. They have a no phone number policy so if your giving taking numbers at another club they don't care as they think you will do it there too since you have no problem doing so at the other club. Just because all the other girls do it doesn't make it right just like if they were all giving handjobs doesn't mean it's ok.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
I don't mean to be harsh, but you fucked up. NEVER, EVER say who or what you have on your phone. You should have just said, "Thanks this has important contacts. " And left it at that. You put the gun in your mouth and pulled the trigger. Now deal with it. Chalk this up to a lesson learned about keeping your mouth shut. SMH :banghead:
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
eh, I would just go back in two weeks, apologize, tell them you were following other girls' leads and that the phone numbers were to get the guys to come in. Tell them you've deleted all the numbers and that you won't do it again.
You need to give them plausible deniability in order to hire you back.
Plus, you're a baby stripper-- they'll likely go easier on you than on a vet.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
Yaaa its pretty standard that you are not supposed to take numbers... of course most of us do it but its not something Id be discussing with management or the other girls. I don't think they were in the wrong here. Sorry. But I agree that maybe apologise and just say you didn't realise and you won't do it again.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
No offense. This should have been common sense to you to begin w/. If your lucky, maybe you can go back & ask for beg for your job back -if they're forgiving. Tell them you'll never do it again or something like that. Think before you speak. Sorry & good luck

I don't know about it being completely standard. At the club where I work, we're encouraged to have a second phone and take numbers. We're just not supposed to give out our number in the club or meet customers outside (and no one does). Maybe it's a trust thing? Many of the girls at my club have been there for 1 year +, so it could just be different.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
^ but technically it's soliciting which is against the law in most places... So really your wrk is putting you at risk by encouring that. One wrong person and you could be arrested and your clubs licence at risk. It's even illegal here in aus where prostiution is legal.. But not in a SC. Not saying I don't do it but its not something you should talk about openly.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
thanks girls for this advice! I wanted some more opionon on my two options, though...
Yes, in this state it can be seen as "soliciting" the Big Corporate club is against using phones for custies, but the privately owned club is for it. In fact, they encourage it.
SO i was wondering : / should I, then, outright deny that I had customers on my phone? and show them an empty address list? Plus I had been out of state for two whole months....
option 1 ) : By deny I mean tell the manager that I ONLY said that I had custies on the phone such that I could sound important...like I was getting customers...becuase I wanted to sound important in order to get on nightshift. I REALLY didnt have any customers fro Big corporate club on my phone...and tell the manager I wont bring y phone in my purse out on the floor, instead I will tie my oney up in a garter such that they can make sure i dont have a phone on the floor in my purse? and beg for a new contract? (downside: could think i lying)
OR soption 2) : Should I say I was following other girls leads and took down some numbers from either the Privately owned club or from Big Corporate CLub and a sorry and have deleted it and will NEVER do it again. (downside: could be a admission of guilt regarding getting numbers would mean they REALLy wont hire me back...if I say the numbers are for the priavtely owned nude club, the big corporate club might think that Im trying to bring custies from one club to the other...)
what a nightmare, i feel horrible and have learned my lesson: in this industry, never give more infor than they ask. NEVER. :D :_(
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
Option C) Just tell the whole truth. That's going to earn you more points. Plus people lie to each other constantly in the club. Most people who work there are excellent at sussing out BS.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
What Fiendish said, Suck up the consequences for 2 weeks then go back and tell them you've erased the contacts and keep it to yourself from now on.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
Yep, yep, yep.
Also, I'm surprised that your one club is encouraging you to get customer's numbers. Most clubs that I have worked at, even smaller clubs specifically tell girls not to do this. It happens and Google voice is a stripper's best friend but it is something that in the future I would not mention to management or the other girls at your club.

Definitely agreed. But say it's from a past club that you worked at.
Re: Fired! "Custies on Phone"
I keep my fucking mouth shut. I have a shitty little prepaid tracfone that I give to the "high rollers". It makes them feel like we have a "connection". Yeah from my hand to your bank account there is a connection. ::)
