tip out?
Okay I know depending on the club you have to tip out, bouncers,dj, house mom, manager, ect. And that there's a fee you have to pay every night plus commission. How do you know how much it is? Is it okay to ask the managers or girls before you start or should you wait and just find out?

Re: tip out?
For some reason I've asked for fees and things over the phone, but they wouldn't divulged unless I had been auditioned and already hired. I have to go to a club next week and I have no choice to find out by the hard way of going in and being hired, to see if the fees and dancer cuts will be too ridiculous for me to want to stay there.

That's what I was afraid of. I seen everyone saying to make sure you bring enough money incase you didn't make enough to tip out. Just hope it doesn't happen!

They probably don't want to scare potential girls away if they give them a ridiculous rundown over the phone.

FYI, club fees are usually waived on your first night. It's strongly suggested you still tip out other staff members ime, but I think it's usually ok to ask for a pass if you did badly your first time. On your second day you'll be held responsible for any 'loans' you take out, but you at least get a taste for your income potential vs fees by then.

'Is it ok to ask what the tipouts are' How else are you going to know? :) DO NOT be afraid to treat the dancing hiring process like a mutual interview. You need to impress them, but you will also be paying for the privilege to work there so they need to impress you too.
I usually went as a customer to check out clubs & would tip a girl to sit & talk to me abt what it was like to work there. The more experience I got as a dancer, the more questions I knew to ask. Security, scheduling, cost to work there, VIP setup, how clean or dirty? Then I would ask mgmt the same questions during the hiring process (if I liked what I heard the first time) & compare responses.

Re: tip out?
On your first day, you can ask a few of the other dancers what the customary tip outs are if it isn't mandatory.
Some clubs prohibit tipping management (conflict of interest) but at others it is 'suggested'.
At my small club, a manager may complain to a veteran dancer about a new girl's tipping habits. Since we know they can't demand tips, we usually have an indirect discussion(with the new girl present) in the dressing room.
If the new hire doesn't get the idea or doesn't want to tip, then she doesn't receive much help from anyone.
