girl at my club got fired for being fat!
OMG! Two girls were fired today from my job one for prostitution and drugs and the other for being fat! I understand prostitution but being fat? This club prides its self on having “the most beautiful girls in town”::). What a bunch of snobs! Tonight was horrible and season here is ending. I only made a hundred dollars working seven hours! The top earner made only 500! That’s bad for “the most beautiful girls in town” club. So at the end of the night the manager gathers all the girls on the main floor and publicly humiliates and fires the prostitute/ coke addict, and after that he fires the “fat” girl! Its not illegal to be fat! Shish! And she wasn’t even all that fat she just looked 6 months pregnant (if you can imagine what that looks like). I was really mad at the manager that was just wrong. If she was too fat for the club the customers would not get dances form her and she would either take the weight off or move on to another club because her competition was too high. But publicly firing her in front of everyone after a shitty night is just so wrong>:(! As soon as that happened half the room started smoking. The girls got so nervous they started a smoking like chimneys. So I’m thinking am I too fat for this club? Well I’m not going to stick around to find out. I have already checked out another club I liked and I am going there tomorrow. I have a friend there that made a thousand dollars tonight in 20 minutes and I have only made 100 at our “most beautiful girls in town” club.
PS I go home and ate two slices of chocolate cake (its like 3am) and now I have a headache from all the sugar! Lol:D

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
Well someone should not be taking their clothes off for money if they look 6 months pregnant. Yes guys will pay her, but that doesn't mean anything - they'll also pay crack hookers off the street. I would not want a girl that looks pregnant dancing in my club, period. If you don't look it fine, but if you're showing it's time to stop.
I do hate the humiliation of the girls when being fired. It is nobody elses business and should be done professionally in a private setting. Maybe he was trying to set an example. It sounds like you are not happy there anyway, so move on to a club where you make better money and they treat their girls decent and respectfully, fat or not.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
Strip clubs NEED to have better standards in regard to who they allow to dance. We'd all do better if they did.
-
Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
umm, no IMO if a girl is to fat she needs to go. was it nice to make it a public, not really. however, i'm glad your club has standards. to many clubs now days have subpar hiring standards. it brings the club down by hiring second string girls.
ya know maybe she was making money and some guys like the fatties. for the most part guys dont come in the club looking for "those" girls. if a group of guys walks in and thats the first thing they see. they are likely to walk out and tell others what they got the first impression of there.
btw looks 6 months pregnant? thats to big sorry

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
But to do that shit in front of everyone is unnecessary, unprofessional, and an asshole power trip on the part of the manager. I'm all for working at a club with standards but not for management that behaves like that.
-
Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
true but since when has management ever been fair/professional?
-
Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
Point taken, but there's a difference between the everyday incompetence we're used to and flat-out viciousness.
-
Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
I'll jump in to SG just to concur...Yeah, if you're too fat, you gotta go. 6 months prego? That's pretty big. The manager firing her like that in front of everyone is a straight up power play dick move, though. It should have been done in private, so that way it would take at least an extra 5 minutes for everyone to gossip about it.
$1000 in 20 minutes? Really.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
Managers should do the firings in private. No need to embarrass anyone in front of all the other dancers and staff members. But I agree that there needs to be higher looks standards in a lot of clubs. Not that everyone needs to look like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra-shit, lots of us would be out of a job then, including me. But the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Customers come into the club to see hot fantasy girls, not girls who look 6 months pregnant.
A friend of mine was let go from the club we danced at a couple years ago for being too big. I was bummed out that I couldn't work with her anymore, but I had to admit that she was looking too big to dance. She was 5'6", around 180-185 lbs. A few customers commented to me that she didn't look good and I couldn't really say "No, that's not true" because they were right. Like I said, the line needs to be drawn somewhere.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
The manager was wrong for doing it publicly. Ok maybe not six months but she didn’t look fat she just had a big belly. Anyway I think everyone deserves a chance fat, tattooed, anorectic, crippled, whatever. Its just not right to fire anyone for their physical appearance. In fact we have one girl working with us she is a stick no boobs, no ass, and she looks like a skeleton with hair. I don’t see a lot of guys lining up to get a dance from her and she is still employed. I don’t get it. To me it’s the hustle and the sales talent that really matters, but that’s just in my own little world.

Agreed.... unfortunately, whether we like it or not, stripclubs are supposed to have what is considered the prime cut, if you will, of women. We are supposed to be some of the more beautiful, the most glamorous, the women who exude sex appeal and know how to care for themselves. That said, it is also important to have an array of women because there are so many different tastes to account for.... racially, ethnically, some different body types, personalities, etc. However, as we are the cream of the crop and not just any woman walkng down Main St. can become a dancer, there are definitely standards that need to be enforced, no matter how love-your-body-oriented we are outside of work. There's "fat is a feminist issue," and then there is the reality that your club (therefore you) will make more $$ if there are generally less chubby women working there. And yes, some men like BBW's, or girls with some major girth, so every club will generally have one of two, but that's the manager's choice whether to promote women of all sizes as beautiful dancers, or to stick to the Slender Stripper Stereotype. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.:-\
However, like Susan said- it was TOTAlly unnecessary to do this in public. Major power trip.

Sorry to disagree, but in this business, that's where you're wrong.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
I have to agree with everyone else. If you look six months pregnant, you are way too big to be dancing. It seems like many clubs lessen their hiring standards to get more house fees.
But humiliating them in front of everyone is just plain unprofessional and rude. It should have been done in private, imo.

^ bingo. yeah, they shouldent have fired her in front of everyone, but what do they care there is 20 girls a night willing to take her place that dont look 6 months preggo.

Im all for setting higher standards for getting prostitution out of the clubs. But being fat or skinny should not be a factor, in my humble opinion. If a dancer is too fat or too skinny they have to fix that in their own personal life and its none of the clubs concern. If its prostitution that’s messing with everyone money and passing on stds so that’s when the club needs to step in. why should a stripping job be any different from an office job? Because we are judged by our looks? Not every one is going to be a blond, D cup, white, 5’6, 120lb, blue eyed stripper. Being different is good. Confidence is key, hustle is key. If a girl is too fat she can experiment with taking of a couple of pounds and see if her sales go up. But only if she wants to. If she is making money and not hurting anyone else then why not let the girl do her thing? Because its hurting the clubs image? Well then label the club what it is a Barbie factory! In white only because god forgive they are different (lots of sarcasm in this one:)). Just my opinion…

Its not right to fire anyone for physical appearance?
But...strippers...a big part of their job is looking good. Its perfectly right to fire one if her appearance isnt good. Fat looks sloppy. Who wants a sloppy looking stripper, who doesn't take care of herself? And its the clubs image on the line, not just that particular dancer and her image. The club doesn't want to be known as the clu b with fat dancers, or ugly dancers. they want otbe known as the place will all the hottest women.
Just like modeling. If you lose your looks, you get fired. Any job based on looks can fire someone for losing their looks. Hell..I was a cocktial waitress at the Hard Rock hotel, and it was in my paperwork when I was hired that over 10 lbs gained could result in termination.
I agree with everyone else... Keeping up high standards is good for everyone. A fat girl has no place stripping. Appearance is important. Yeah, hustle and sales talent are important. But so are looks.
You dont need a "barbie Factory". Yes...differences is good. But its still key to look like you care about your appearance, and Im sorry, but if your fat then you dont care about your appearance enough to be a stripper. Its sad that its gotten to the point whee any girl thinks she can be a stripper if she can get naked. Looks do matter.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
I agree that the public humiliation was unnecessary.
But this is a looks oriented business!! In industries where people are hired based on their looks, management/employers have the legal right to fire people if their looks are no longer up to par. With the exception of a few fetishists (if you're lucky), no one wants to see a woman whos 6 months pregnant strutting around in a g-string, sorry! If anything you should be thankful your club is at least holding on to it's standards. Because if it didn't, stuff like that gives clubs a bad name, and the club would lose a lot of business.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
^^She's right, would you really want to work at a club that allowed any girl to work no matter what she looks like? This is a business greatly based on looks and if you fail to recognize that that it will always be like that, you are living in a dream world. A club does not need to be a Barbie factory, but in general, the better looking girls the better the club. I mean, guys don't go there to look at overweight chicks, they could just stay home and look at their wives. If she wants to strip that bad, she has to either lose some weight or lower HER standards. Not the other way around.
-
Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
A stripper who thinks she shouldn't be fired for being fat, is like an accountant who thinks he should keep his job even if he can't count!
I'm all for thick curvy women. In fact I hate the emaciated skinny look. But "6 months pregnant" is just plain repulsive. It reminds me of the SNL sketch where Chris Farley was auditioning for Chippendales along with Patrick Swayzie! If a fat guy with a beer belly can't get a job as a chippendale, why should it be any different for women?

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
I agree. I dont think this job is solely about suposed good looks at all. Alot of customers like larger women and strippers themselves can still be sexy and classy with a bit of size or whatever too IMO.

Re: girl at my club got fired for being fat!
To be fair though, if this girl is naturally big to begin with, after having the baby she should try to find a club that has a lot of other women her size, if one in her area exists. There IS a market for everything, it's just that the market for larger strippers isn't as big as the market for us trim folk (sweet irony).
Get in where you fit in and no ones standards are compromised, including the girls if she doesn't want to lose weight.

Sorry, but in this business, you are dead wrong. We work largely on physical appearance. It may not be the ultimate thing that sells but it IS the first thing customers look at. Customers don't come to strip clubs to see "average" or ugly - they come in to see hotties. If this were a regular business then you'd be right, but in the skin biz, tough luck - keep up your appearance or get out.
Agreed the Spineless Fucking Pussies should have fired her in private, but still, firing a girl for being too heavy is not only acceptable but a GOOD thing (as long as she IS on the chub side and mgmt isn't going for the anorexic look).
