Ok, i'm posting this on behalf of my friend at work becasue I am just SO angry about it. The other night we had a group of well paying customers come into work early in the shift. It's the start of Spring Carnival (our horse racing season) so all the big punters are out and dancers from all over the country come through.
Anyway, I was tipped $50 on stage by this guy so after i finished my set, i went over to him and started to socialise, after a few minutes, he made it clear he wanted to hire a heap of girls for the entire group of men he was entertaining. so i went running around to organise girls (being the start of the shift if was hard because there weren't many on) I finally organised for 11 girls to be hired for an hour each. The customer bought 7 bottles of Dom Perignon to entertain the girls and all had a great time.
Working at a Spearmint Rhino, the man paid through a credit card so instead of cash, we were paid in rhino chips (which we lose 15% on cashing in)
And because the club didn't have enough chips on hand, the manager waited till the card was approved then promised me the girls would have their chips waiting at the bar to collect on complation of the dance. all the girls were happy with that so after collecting a list of who was in the room, we started the dance.
Once the hour was up. some girls just left unannouced but there were 8 remaining so the men organised another hour and then another. so all up. each of the 8 girls left had nearly 1500 worth of chips waiting at the bar.
Being a busy night, by the time we all got out. some of us left collecting the chips til a little later. i collected mine about 2 am (the dance had finished by midnight) but my friend was immediately booked again for the rest of the night by someone else in VIP so never got to collect hers. she waited till the next shift (last night) to grab them but when she went to the office. one of the other 11 dancers had lied to the bar staff and collected more than they deserved. my friend lost out on an hours worth of chips because some inconsiderate dancer decided to lie about how many hours she did with the group. not only that, on top of that, the lists with the names of the girls ticked off had "conveniently" gone missing so no-one knows who collected the extra hour. my friend had also been ripped of an hour by the second booking when all the credit card machines went down throughout melbourne and the customer couldn't pay for her final hour. all in all. the poor thing lost a thousand dollars in one night.
but i am just SO SO angry that dancers do this to one another! we all have a job to do, we are all there for the same reason and we all work hard for our money just becasue some of us earn slightly more than others, doesn't give others the right to steal off us and claim "we don't need it as much as them" this has happened before to me where a girl in the change room SNORTED at me when someone asked how my night was and i replied "not great". Some idiot laughed in my face and said "well any night for YOU is a good night, you don't have to work hard like the rest of us!" OMG! i couldn't believe it! she actually thought i didn't deserve the money i make because she had noticed i make it a little easier than some of the others. i was so shocked. i've left that club now and am much happier at Spearmint Rhino where the girls don't try to sabotage my nights out of jealousy but i was amazed that even in a club where there is so much money to go around, girls still find it necessary to lie and cheat their collegues out of money. i am so upset for my friend because i am the one who organised all these girls to come over and they wouldn't have made the money if i was selfish and wanted to keep it for myself and my friends only, but i brought in girls i didn't even know because i thought it would be nice to extend an arm of friendship and this is how we get repaid.......
GRRRRRR!!!!
thanks for letting me rant
