When I was working last night, some low tier NASCAR driver and his brothers were at my club. I saw his ID, it was him. He and his brothers were pretty tipsy, but anxious to go back to VIP. They picked me and a pretty friend of mine to go to VIP, and asked us to find another. We did, and we were ready to go.
We got back to the room, and the guy who was paying had left his ID and card at one of the bars in the club. Instead of going and getting it, the waitress dragged the guy out of the room to go get it. It was at the bar, but for some reason, the waitress LEFT him there to go serve someone else drinks!
Finally, we're back on the room, and the waitress ran his card. It was declined. Sometimes the machine at our club declines perfectly good cards for no reason. The waitress was SO NASTY in explaining what happened that she chased away three guys willing to spend $500 each! One of the other brothers would have happily given over his card to pay if she had been nicer to them.
This is a direct quote:
Younger brother "You know, for as much money as we've spent, you'd think you'd treat us a little better"
Bitchy Waitress "You haven't spent a dime!"
YB "We've been spending all night!"
BW "Yea, well, your card was declined. I haven't seen any of it"
They were a lost cause after that. The waitress offended them so much that they left. She treated them incredibly poorly, talked to them like they were stupid, and basically took $500 each from 3 girls. Who knows? Maybe they would have stayed 2 or 3 hours.
OMFG!!! At my club, dancers have to put pressure on the guys to tip the bouncers, waitresses, funny money girl - everybody. We look less attractive to these guys because we have to squeeze so much money out of them. Not only that, but our tip out can be as high as $90 and we are expected to tip 10% of that to the DJ. Even if he never puts us onstage and we're busting our asses in VIP all night, he expects 10%. We lose so much of earnings to keep these people paid, and they don't give a shit. If we weren't there, they wouldn't have jobs! The waitresses EXPECT to be tipped 20% of what the guys spend in VIP. So if he pays me $500 for an hour, $60 for the room, and $40 on drinks, she expects $120, just for bringing drinks! If you want to make stripper money, take your clothes off and shake your ass like we do.
I'm just so blown away that she forgot that even though this is a strip club, you have to treat customers with respect if they're acting respectfully. These guys were perfectly nice. Maybe they were a little drunk and loud, so what? Guys can be boisterous when they're having fun. Maybe they didn't understand what was going on so someone needed to nicely explain it to them.
I calmly told her later that I didn't think she handled the situation well and that she was unprofessional. She didn't agree.
UGH! Just had to rant.
