I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
OMG!!! What a night!!! First off, I don't know what time I'm gonna be back in town yesterday, so I talk to the owner and schedule for 8, so that I don't get charged a late fee. I get there at 2:30 pm, eat lunch, get dressed, and am on the floor by 4. (If we're on the floor at 4, there is no stage rent) This is something I do all the time and there's never been a problem with it until now.
Two strippers come in the dressing room to get ready carrying a 6pack of beer, one is 19. They start calling me a rat and various other names and asking what I'm gonna do about it, and telling me what an asshole, yada yada, my husband was when he worked there for not letting them drink right out on the floor. All this time, I'm trying to ignore them and get ready for work. Finally, I've had it. If I'm gonna be called a rat, I'm gonna be one, so I tell the bartender and get them busted. This causes the bartender and the cocktail to get into a screaming match in front of customers over who's in charge.
My best friend has her purse stolen from the stage, which no one is sitting at, while she's dancing, and no one can find the damn thing. We even went in the men's bathroom and emptied the garbage cans. The thing is GONE. If the idiot bouncer was doing his job and actually standing at the door, he might have noticed a man carrying a purse, right?
I leave at 12:30, and Idiot Bouncer tells me that I'm gonna have to pay full stage rent, plus a fine for leaving early, because I was actually scheduled for 8, even though I came in early. I'm trying to explain that I don't have to be scheduled for 4, just be on the schedule and be ready to go, and why I scheduled myself that way, and this asshole cuts me off and does the "talk to the hand" thing in my face like a gay 12yr old. Ok, my dad beat the hell out of me for years, so anyone raising their hand to me in any way shape or form, I'm going to take as a threat. I completely lost it, and on my way out, told the cocktail that "if her f'ing boyfriend ever raises his hand to me again, I will go to my truck, get my gun, and come back and shoot him".
So I go in this morning to apologize to the owner, who's telling me that's assault, big whoop, and lo and behold, there is my friend's purse sitting next to the cash register at the front door. The only place in the whole bar that thing could have been was under the register, right next to Idiot Gay Bouncer. God, I hate this place sometimes.

Assault is not making a threat verbally. Raising you hand as if to strike is assault. You got them there.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Your club sounds as bad as mine on some nights, lol--I think we both need a change for the better...

I'm not really concerned about it, since we had a girl a couple months ago try to bash another girls brains in on the brick wall in the dressing room, and then kick the sh*t out of her when she hit the floor, they carried the girl out on a stretcher bleeding from both ends, and the psycho broad that attacked her got a ticket for disorderly conduct. You gotta love Montana sometimes.
Djoser, I am really considering another Great Stripper Road Trip. The last two were to Vegas, and pretty much sucked, but anything is better than here right now.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Holy Crap!! Is this at Shotguns?? I think that is the only club in Montana that has a brick wall in the dressing room. And the only place the the bouncer sits next to the register, too.
I haven't worked at that club since 1999. The drama was off the hook then too.
In those kind of clubs it is keep your head down and your mouth shut. Just do your job and don't argue. If you can keep yourself purposely oblivious by wearing headphones or something while in the dressing room, even better.
Jr. High sounds like it would be a lot more pleasent than the enviorment you are in (and I hated school).

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
No, it's Teasers in Three Forks, which has 3 sided brick pillars that stick out of the walls all over the place, since it used to be a restaurant. And the bouncer is supposed to run the till and help the girls on and off the stage, when he's not following his gf around like a dog trailing its owner. It used to be a fun place to work, but in the last couple of months, it has gotten out of hand.
I got puking sick and left early about a month ago, Nazi door guy refused to back rent me even though I told him my car was out of gas, and I paid out all the money I had made (a whopping $27). I get out on the highway, my car dies within a mile, and I walked two and a half miles to a friend's house in -5 degree weather. When I called Dave, he goes "Well what do want me to do about it? Are you mad because they wouldn't back rent you, or because you ran out of gas and had to walk?"AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

I have two highway patrolmen, a district attorney, and two police chiefs, including the youngest ever in the United States, in my family. And I am married to a former city cop. I don't think I'll have a problem with this punk.

He runs a crappy joint. He's a Hef wannabe. If he cared about his establishment or his employees or his customers he would have gotten the sewer problem taken care of long ago. At least BS trys to be a decent club, but they are located in an indecent part of the country. Hence, Dave is cashing in and Brandon is struggling (not that BS doesn't have it's problems and headaches, too).
Makes me glad to be living in the Land-of-many-titty-bars. Lots of choices and not all that many dancers.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
I was born and raised in Oregon. I never thought I'd hear myself saying I wanna go home, lol. The only club where I'm from makes Sagebrush Sam's look like the PEC New York ,lol. Dave cares in his own weird way, but he's an crappy manager and lousy at confrontation, and needs to stop sleeping with his dancers. Throw a big enough fit, and you'll get your way. Every time he gets a good manager, he gets rid of them for some reason. So there really is no one in charge.
The place is for sale, and I have a good friend who really wants it and has the money. He's waiting for the price to drop. Then every bitch who has pissed me off over the years will get to reaudition in front of me, muywahaha, lol. Just kidding. If I house mothered that place, I'd be up on the roof at night with a rifle, picking everyone off as they walked to their cars, lol. Or I'd be in Warm Springs after a week.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Oooh you poor thing. : ( Baby gurl.. Id probably go to another club, if your managment disrespects you like that. Damn.. Id flip the f*ck out! Thats such a bad day. Take a week off, chill out.. maybe check out the scene at other clubs. That place doesnt deserve your "tipout." They don't even deserve a dollar from you.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
I informed the owner that I am taking a day off, or I really will kill someone. I've been there a year, and always work 4-2, 4 or 5 days a week. This is only the second time in a year I've used my right to leave at 12. I reminded Dave (the owner) of that today. I'll probably go back tomorrow, see if that Incredibly Gay, Idiot, Mama's Boy, Sean John wearing, Pretty Fly For A White Guy, Girlfriend's Got My Dick In Her Purse, Wannabe Bouncer is so scared of my 5'0 and 98lbs, that he tries to charge me with something.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
You should head over here to Missoula sometime... the fees are kinda high but the management in both clubs are at least halfway professional....
-
Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
I started dancing in Missoula, actually. Haven't been there in quite a while, this is just closer to home for me. I heard that Joe remodeled Fred's, but I don't know for sure.

This is some funny shit--and a great way to deal with it. Again I am reminded of some of my experiences and the way I write about them.
Another way of dealing with this kind of bullshit is to think of it as gathering background material for a perverse black comedy. Hell if they made a movie out of the place I am working now people would flip out and love it, but they'd never believe this shit could really happen.
Hang in there, girl, and start making your escape plans, that's what I'm doing. I have a big drawer full of cash and I'm almost ready to go.

But I'll save it all for my memoirs }:D .

Actually, you have them in reverse. Assault is the threat of physical harm, Battery is when you actually make physical contact.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Yuck, I'm glad I never tried Teasers.

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Well, I think Idiot Gay Bouncer may have gotten fired. Went into work yesterday, he's on the schedule but never showed up and another, unscheduled bouncer was there in his place. And Dave is back to being, well, Dave.

Written on the wall of the little bathroom in the dressing room of my club:
"Snitches are a dying breed"
Some clubs have some pretty tough girls working there, and going to management is often the last thing you want to do. But in cases like these, what the hell, why not. I've done it myself on very rare occasions.
Glad to hear the idiot bouncer has been sacked--hopefully his replacement will be an improvement...

Well, I am in the meth capital of the west, lol. They're all terrified of me, after watching me do one handed GI Jane pushups and climb the pole hand over hand to the ceiling every set, 10 hrs a night. I picked a guy up off the floor a couple of nights ago just joking around.
I'm one of the nicest people on earth. I :'( watching Animal Cops, and I can't even kill spiders in my own house, but none of them need to know that, }:D .
They came in drunk, that's what gave them the guts to mouth off at me. They don't understand that if one of these underage twits gets drunk at work and kills someone going down the highway, they'll shut this place down so fast our heads will spin. And I happen to like and need my job, so I will violate them every time I see them drinking and know that they don't have a ride home.
And if they continue to f*ck with me, I'm good friends with a repo man, }:D lol

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Thats funny, and reminds me of when I lived with a bunch of ex-cons in Orlando for a while.
These guys loved to fight, and if no one was around, they'd fight each other. And what fighting--eye gouging was acceptable, etc.
So I started working out like crazy in case I ever had to defend myself. Since I do handstand pushups as the basis of my routine, they were all very impressed and left me the hell alone--not knowing of my fairly gentle inner nature. Only towards the end did they start to figure it out, but I left before anything happened, for other very good reasons.
Now I am a lot meaner, I think, lol--but I sure don't go looking for fights either...

Re: I think I work in a junior high (long rant)
Being friends with the repo man is almost as good as being friends with a bunch of Banditos. :P
