After only a few months of being settled in this one!
The past month, our moneys gone WAY downhill, weeknights are EMPTY, and weekends are the same "loitering" crowd of kids who come in with no intention of spending money on girls-or even buying more htan one drink from the bar!(Its because its a Juice bar, there's few places for the under 21s to go---and this is one.)
On top of htat, management is getting NASTY! They've introduced SOOOOOOOOO many new rules and fines......
Go to your car, even for a tampon, 10$.
Dance for a guy, he has to sit on his hands. if one comes out, even to touch his nose, YOU get fined 20$(and htey don't tell YOU at the time, so you can tell HIM to be a gentlemen and pay it!)
The DJ's get a 5$ mandatory "tip" if you miss a stage set, so they deliberately TRY to make you miss them....(i posted about this on here before)
House fee is ALREADY expensive for Portland area, and house is COMPLETELY non negotiable on paying it, plus fees for missed shifts---EVEN with legitimate medical reasons! I had a DR's note because I fell and hurt my back and missed a shift, and i STILL owed 70$ in fees because i missed hte shift, and I passed out so i couldn't even CALL to say I was missing it!
On top of THAT, they're searching our bags EVERY shift when we come in for drug stuff. Purse, Dance bag, opening my perfumes and sniffing htem and spilling them everywhere..... But they don't screen the CUSTOMERS that thoroughly.... No metal detectors, I've yet to see the bouncer SEARCH anyone for a weapon or drugs.... Though girls HAVE told them when suspicious drug related things may be happening("oh no... several female custys in the bathroom at the same time coming out wiping thier noses....") and its all IGNORED. WTF?
Ugh. It sucks. Its a relatively drama free club, and up until a month ago, I was making GREAT money there! Now the high earners are taking home 150$ on a FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT!
I was one! Friday, I took home 40$(after paying 70$ in fees for that missed shift, so 110$ total) and Saturday it was 80$. So basically, we're giving over half our earnings in this slow time, in addition to the extra fees and invasions!
I'm so frustrated! The dj's SUCK, won't play ANYTHING i request, and dont even TRY to pick music I like... Management interferes with EVERYTHING, from those rules, to criticizing MY hustle because I "walk around too much and don't interact enough and am not allowed to go NEAR the dance area unless its with a customer". (I walk around eyefucking everyone, talk to those who meet my eye, and walk towards the dance area so a customer who's been eyeing me usually follows ten steps or so behind).
I could tolerate it if I was making the 400-700$ nights I was when i STARTED there, but with the whole club going downhill, what' a girl to DO?!
Plus they've been bringing in a SHITTON of new girls, and last friday they KILLED our money by breaking ALL the rules, fingerfucking each other on stage, and all they got was a managerial handslap. No fees. No outright FIRING right then. THey let them work the WHOLE SHIFT, to the complaints of the house girls, before firing them when they LEFT!
Can i scream now?
So what are my options........
Go to a smaller club in thearea, liqour serving, where i cant hustle because i'm only 20.... SO HUGE money cut....
Go back to the DOlphin clubs, whose management have been nasty to me in the past, but is decent money, even for "minors"
Go to another juice bar. One of which is in the middle of nowhere, the other of which is pretty much EMPTY last time I worked there....
I could SWEAR in disgust!
