do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
For whatever reasons, apparently i cannot do well on fri or sat nights. i guess the way i get dances/hustle just works much better for the clientele on weekday nights. i don't do good in approaching groups, especially younger guys (they don't have a lot of money sometimes, seem quicker to criticize, etc.) and i just seem to do better when its less busy @ the club. Anyone else like this?
For example, last night was a decently busy fri night and i just did horrible. only did 3 lapdances and i just sucked. whereas on a tues night 2 weeks ago i banked (for me at least) and did a lot of dances. Last night reminded me of why i don't normally work weekends. I think i'll be sticking to the weeknights from now on!!

Everyone works best in certain settings. Kudos to you for figuring out what works for you. You're one of the few girls who can do very well on slow times, congrats!
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
I know a lot of girls who cant seem to do a fri/sat night.. they're hard nights to work if you are intimidated by groups of kids. I do really well on those nights(im a bit of an outgoing, witty, opinionated bitch). Its the same as some girls do great on day shift, but put them on nights and they cant make money.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
Saturday's almost always my worst night. Or at least the hardest on me mentally. I usually make out OK money-wise, but my amazing nights are usually Wed-Fri
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
Im beginning to think im more a week day type.. A lot of the guys that here in Cleve.. on business come in during the week... I almost always attract the businessmen who like the classier type... I'm beginning to think I do not want to work Friday nights anymore... I fucking left with a 120 dollars last night after being there eight hours... Talk about a shitty night.....
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
I'm different on weeknights and weekends. I adjust my hustle, clothes, makeup. I think to be successful in lots of dirrerent settings you have to do different things. It's the same concept of having a different method at a high hustle club in a big city vs. a small blue collar club.
You do have to try A Lot (at least I did) to adjust to the different atmospheres of weekends to weekdays. But once I figured out what tactics worked best for me (such as being more bitchy for weekend bachelor partys) it's been much easier.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
it depends on my mood, but i generally do better on and prefer weekend nights. weekends at my club are conducive to the "wanna dance" approach. i end up dancing a lot more than during the week, but sitting aorund chatting up customers is often more exhausting.
the weekday customers tend to make me a bit sad sometimes too. they often a bit socially inept or unhappy. not all, just a lot. i do have maybe 2 weekday regulars that i really...in which case i love sitting and talking to them.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
Kamrynanne-
thats EXACTLY how i am! i also made the same as you last night- soooo mad! but it sounds like we attract the same type. i'm prob not gonna do fri or sats for a while and see how it works for me.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
What time do you get to work? I am banking at my club on weekend nights b/c I get there at 6-6:30 and am on the floor by 7. Usually there are more single guys and less groups at this time, and these are my prime customers. By the time the rest of the girls got out there last night (10pm) all the money had dried up, but I had already made my $$$. Just a thought.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
i get there at six thirty.. the girls are my club are like voulchers..

I'm the same way. I don't like aprroching big groups of ppl so much. I try to go more towards the one guy sitting at a table or two or three guys. It's alot harder to talk to ppl when there in a big group and You'r the only dancer sitting with all thoese guys ....
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
I am definetly a weekday type girl, but I usually work Thurs-Sat, dumb! I don't like the groups because you get pushed around and everyone's trying to grope you and you are karate chopping hands like crazy just to get one dance out of the group? I get frustrated and mope in the dressing room on nights like those. Like last night for instance!

Me too! Last night around 1:30 I walked out because I had ZERO dances all night!! I also banked on Tuesday. I think I'm sticking to week nights from now on too.
I might also add that the club was packed and other girls were getting dances. It was a serious bummer. But I learned my lesson. I am also somewhat intimidated by groups of young guys because I never know who to approach first and usually it's the wrong one. I like single guys or guys who come with one friend. And I am a conversationalist. I hate the 'wanna dance' thing. Constant rejection without some sort of verbal headway is for robots.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
You really have to analyze the type of customers who buy the most dances. As a bathroom attendant summed it up to me in Houston when I was working there, "The types of guys who will pay for a dancers time and company for the most part are married and have families. They are with their families on weekends".
This business is also trending towards those same types of customers patronizing the clubs during the weekday afternoons as opposed to nights. Again, they are with their families at night. Friday afternoons on the other hand in some major city clubs are jumpin'. Again, the reason why is that business oriented guys with flexible hours tend to knock off work early on Friday and hit the clubs before going home. By 7PM on Friday nights there is very little money left to be made. Holiday weekend Fridays are slow however, but the day shift before Thanksgiving, and the day shift of Dec 23rd can be good.
Friday nights can be decent in some clubs if you get a mix of older customers along with the young pimple faced party crowd. If you work in a club where you get a lot of stage time, a full tip rail and a DJ who forces the crowd to tip, you can do ok. A white tablecloth time and company club on the other hand probably won't do well on Friday nights.
Overall I think Saturday nights have a better chance for higher earnings than Friday. Not always but more often than friday nights. Also Saturday nights in some clubs attract bachelor parties.
Sundays can be very good in some places as from my experience guys that come in whether it be day or night tend to come to have a drink and buy dances. Plus many times not as many girls work on Sundays. Sunday day shift can be very good. Not a lot of customers but the quality is good. In several cities I worked in, Sundays were my most dependable earnings days. I never made less than $200, and ranged up to $400 without a lot of stress.
You really have to analyze your club day shift vs night shift. I used to work happy hour until closing on Mon-Wed, as those day shifts were slow, work day shift on Fridays and Sundays, and take a crap shoot on Saturday nights.
If you work in a juice bar on the other hand Friday and Saturday nights are the main draw, with the week nights low in customer count.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
Thanks for that post, Tina.
I never really considered the fact that the family guys spend time with their families on the weekend, but it's very true. I do much better with older men than with younger guys, and usually the young guys go out on the weekend. Weekends are a good time for me to meet new faces and try to get them to come see me during the week. Other than that, they are more hassle for the same or less money than I make on a weeknight.
I agree on Sundays too. They are underrated, and can be great money depending on your club. Girls are reluctant to work them, thinking they'll be just as slow as Monday, but especially now that football season has started, they'll be good. When girls at our club ask how Sundays are, we tell them they suck, cause we want to keep the dancer count down and make money :)
I'm in Ohio, and due to the OSU/texas game, our club was absolutely dead until almost midnight, with over 20 girls. Worst Saturday I've ever had.
Re: do MUCH better on weekdays- fri night sucked!
I'm not much for crowds and young guys, and avoided weekend nights for a long time. However, I've found ways to adjust my hustle until my average Fri or Sat is about as good as my average weeknight. During the summer, which is the slow season here, weekends were the only time there was ANY money to be made. During the rest of the year, weeknight are when the business travelers are in. I've had my most amazing nights Tues - Thurs.
