Where? I’ve never seen a dancer not get hired. If anything they have too many girls. I guess I don’t work at the best clubs. Back in my day, you brought panties and heels and they figured if you made them money you should stay? Did I miss the memo?
Honestly since you came in earlier to ask about serving, if the club needs waitresses he may have already decided that he wanted you for that regardless of audition.
If you're still interested in the concept of being a waitress I'd try that for a bit and try to pick up moves from what you see on stage etc, work on your tip hustle, then try again, or just go to another club and audition there.
Yes, I would take what the manager said as pretty literal. Lots of times they don't f**k around. To be clear, he DID hire you. If he is only asking you to work one shift as a waitress you might as well. Like SuperJa said, you can use it as an opportunity to see what the other girls are doing.
Plus, you friend will be there with you so there is always that. It is one night out of your life.
Being a waitress 1st & getting to know the customers of who spends & who doesn't is a great opportunity. Flirting and building them up for the day you do so you can then make is money in the bank.
Mgr probably thinks you need to learn how to hustle and be more comfortable in a strip club. Despite how much you did make over your friend, managers in general know what works & what doesn't by your first time on stage.
Way you describe your friend isn't very friendly & you seems to think you are better than her in looks. I feel bad for her.

Most clubs are pretty lenient with the staff scheduling, and I do not think they were saying for you to stay on as a waitress anyway, right?

Well, best of luck to you. :)
Some places can be really hard to get hired @, some hiring mgrs/ppl can be super flakey as well.
Years ago (& maybe SOME places still today) it was a lot easier).
Also, I always find it best to audition alone, just saying
I agree with others you should waitress and get money and learn about the club and customers. I met a few dancers that used to waitress and they were always making money.
