Need an opinion
OK i been thinking about this all day and i want peoples opinions. I know it might be a bit hard for all those who have to compulsory tip out in there clubs but here goes anyway....
I work in Melbourne Australia where you do NOT have to tip out to house mums, dj's bouncers etc. You can if you wish to and it is appreciated when it is done but most girls don’t make a habit of it. Anyway i am one of those girls who does tip others in my clubs. I feel that if anyone be it house mum, bouncers, mc's etc get me a dance i thank them by giving back a tip even if its small. I usually find it works in my favor as i get alot of bouncers recommending me to customers which is great cos it takes the hard work of hustling out of my job.
My issue is my house mum. I get along ok with her but she has her favorite dancers who she predominately would prefer to help to get dancers for other then me. That’s fine each to their own. On a very rare occasion she will come across a good spending customer who asks for her opinion on which dancer he should dance with, and all the girls who she would usually get are not working that night. These are the rare occasions she will get me. I am looked after well and always grateful for the business. But it makes me feel like a last resort and on these occasions i am reluctant to hand over my tip to her. Don’t get me wrong I am grateful for the money but when I am not required to tip and I know my tip doesn’t bring me any regular repeat business I feel like I am just giving my money away.
Is this selfish of me? Should i give her the tip just for purely helping me out when she doesn’t help me out any other times other then when her friends are not working? I’m all for scratching other peoples backs if they scratch yours but I feel a little used here…
Ideas?

Re: Need an opinion
i work in melbourne, and instead of tip out, if a staff member has helped me in anyway over a shift, my next shift, i usually buy them a small box of chocolates. money is considered 'cheap', if you know what i mean? in my club, the staff seem to think that money means nothing to strippers so a small tip seems patronising. i find they really appreciate a little gift every now and again because it shows i went out of my way to think of them.
i'd do it for the house mum, because you never know when you need that favour....... keep your friends close, keep your 'enemies' closer.
