Not even my house fee......
Okay so last night was the first night in my dancing career that I left the club negative. It REALLY, REALLY sucks. I'm handling it a lot better than I thought I would, just gotta brush it off, it's a new day . I can't imagine this happening on a regular basis though. Last night was just that bad, damn shame........
Re: Not even my house fee......
It's that time of year....it sucks ass at my home club too. All the guys pile in for beer and a "free" show. They don't even buy dances let alone bother to stage tip you. It's frusterating because their money is our income! Oh well...*raises glass* Here's to a better New Year....may the $$$ flow once more....CHEERS!
Re: Not even my house fee......
wow! I'm so sorry. Try it again, read hustle hut religiously! maybe invest in the dancerwealth course. Vegas is hard, everyone knows, but there IS money to be made.
Re: Not even my house fee......
Lame! It's happened to me more than once, too. I don't know... just input that info into your records and acknowledge that it happens and then just concentrate on your average. :) I think it's important to keep track of record breaking lows, too... realizing that it happens once every couple of months will help you realize that it's not every week.
Re: Not even my house fee......
I know! It sucks! It has happened to me a couple of times too. Although, I used to live and work in las vegas and I always made good money there! Don't worry! I'm sure tonight will be a lot better....a negative night is something every one of us has to experience every once in a while. specially during this time of the year...
XXXOOO

Absolutely!!
I think it makes it harder because I've only danced in Vegas, so I never bought in to the whole "vegas is hard" mentality...it's just what I'm used to and I don't have anything to compare it with. There is tons of money to be made, I just didn't make it last night!! But I'm back on my mission tonite, I'm gonna make enough for last nite AND tonite!!!!;) Gotta stay positive.
Re: Not even my house fee......
It happened to me last night too. -$15. First time in YEARS. Suck ASS. >:(
Re: Not even my house fee......
i left with exactly $1 tonight. all that time doing my hair & makeup for those shleps. grrr.
Re: Not even my house fee......
I think I'd REFUSE to leave in the negative, I refuse to not only work for free, but to actually pay to work there, basically a working customer. Thank god, I've never left in the negative, I think the worst ever was $40. That's bullshit, if you don't make money then the housemoms, DJ, bouncer, etc. shouldn't expect a tip from you, especially if you are always a good tipper. If you're always a good tipper and you have a horrible night, they should understand, at least that's how I feel! Because if they don't, then why would you want to tip above the minimum on good nights in the future? There should be some flexibility in there!
Sorry to hear about that, I hope you all had a better night. Tonight for me wasn't nearly as good, but it seems like every Thurs night for me is one of my worst oh and Monday night too! Probably, Monday being the beginning of the week and Thurs being the day before Fri, the day before pay day! I guess anyway!
Re: Not even my house fee......
This week is ASS you guys.
Re: Not even my house fee......
This time of year is always tough for most. Waaaaaaaaayyyy too many girls and not enough spenders. My club literally had 3 girls per customer all night. No way in hell the girls are gonna make any decent money like that. And just to make matters worse, the asswipe mgmt hired a truckload of new bitches right off the fucken street that very night. As if it wasn't bad enough for their regular girls, they had to go and make it fucking WORSE, and pour salt in the damn wound :mad:
There were not only ALL the damn regular girls there, but also a bunch of bitches who haven't been there in 6 months+, and a slew of new bitches off the street. Some who've never even danced, just coming in to fucking take some of our xmas money. I hear the fucking bitches talking about how "oh don't worry, you can just go to HiLiter - they'll let anybody work!" C-U-N-T-S!!!!

Oh em gee, Bridgette, you must have taken a feild trip to Houston or something - thats exactly what happened to me last night. :( There was like five girls per customer and the managers are usually super strict about when they hire and what not, and they let a bunch of new whining bitching street girls come in and we had to hear them complain about no money. Hello they made it worse for US. Gay.
Re: Not even my house fee......
I presume you were at Minxx, Pure?
I was one of the very few customers there Wednesday and Thursday nights... and it was very, very dead.
Sorry you didn't do well. :( I don't know which dancer you were, but I got a few dances from the girls who caught my eyes those nights.
Minxx really does seem like a fantastic club with lots of potential. I don't know why it isn't working right now, but hopefully it will get better for both Custy's and Dancers soon.
Re: Not even my house fee......
I agree with what LeoGirl said. I've only left in the negative once...it was in the summer over a year ago. It was at a notoriously declining club(my first club), and the management always coerced me into working their stupid dead dayshifts for them. At the time, I'd just gotten hired at a better club, and it was the day between getting hired and starting at the new club. I was like "This is fucking bullshit! I can't wait to start at the new club!" When I auditioned at the new club, I made MORE MONEY GOING AROUND THE BAR FOR A QUICK $1 FROM EACH GUY during a single round, than I made during a full 5-hr dayshift at the other club the day prior(and this was a different bad day...I'd made a grand total of $14). Because of such bad days, I eventually left the first club...and not with the best lasting impression of them either.
Overall, I see the dancing industry getting slower and slower over time. Sorry to sound so pessimistic...I'm just being honest. That's why I'm glad that I'm in the middle of pursuing a regular job(I work for an office, and am in the process of getting my insurance license approved and undergoing training for becomming a licensed agent). Overall though, I don't think the money at dancing is bad and it is always good supplemental income. :) But yeah, it always help to have backup.
I hope tonight is a lot better for you guys! :)

Exactly why my ass didn't even attempt to show up at hiliter, since I've been back. Its just not fair to do that (pop in, when u haven't been there in months) around the holidays, but as we know nobody gives a shit.
The manager's are trying to line thier pockets with more Christmas cash, so they're happy to get the $30 per head...screw what the gals that have been there all long are making!
Sorry, hope tomorrow is better for u gals!
Re: Not even my house fee......
We've had the influx of young girls deciding that they want to become strippers because Christmas is coming and they need some money because they spent all their money on drugs already.
Started two or three weeks ago and most of them are gone already now that they realized that they are not earning what they thought they would.
Take an already thin crowd, add an extra amount of girls to the already full roster and how CAN you make any money?
We don't have house fees and I actually get paid as a vet, so thank God, no negatives. But these new girls really hurt tips, as most of what we earn is onstage.

No, I was not at Minxx but at least I don't feel so bad knowing it was dead as a doornail there too. Although it seems that this isn't just exclusive to Vegas, seems to suck everywhere right now.
Re: Not even my house fee......
I'm still very sad about my earnings last night. I've felt like shit all day. Sigh
