    Default Umm, my club has been really slow.

    My club has been so DEAD lately (atlanta). So dead that girls are quitting and my manager is limiting the number of girls that can work. This is so unlike my club.
    Anyone else experiencing this? I heard clubs were slow everywhere for some reason....WHY?!

    My club was once pushing 65 girls on any given weekend night. Now, with all the changes Ohio is going through he is cutting the list off at like 30 girls. So, yea if you dont'get in to work by 10pm you may as well not even hit the floor.

    LC, are all the ATL clubs getting slow? Is it more slow now than over the summer?

    I've heard all the Atl clubs are slow right now. And summer was slammin compared to how it is right now. It's almost creepy how dead it's been. I'm just wondering how it is in all the other cities.

    it's been slower as a general trend pretty much all over. since we're 'leading indicators' of luxury economic performance, and the economy ain't doing so well right now, the adult industry isn't going to be so great, either. retail markets are down, residential housing isn't booming, the stock markets aren't great... people aren't going to be splurging on strippers right now, unless they are regs. Foot traffic has probably decreased in most areas. Hopefully things will get better.... *takes off 'tin foil hat' and crawls under the bed*

    Here (Texas), too. It's eerie at times...the whole front of the club dead, girls lined up at the bar with their chins in their hands...

    I really *wish* my club would regulate the number of girls working. Because nobody is making money, more girls are working more days, and the result is just catastrophic. I have a few good regulars, but otherwise things are SUCKING. Glad it's not just me.

    ^^^ yeah, i'm EXTREMELY glad my club has set schedules of who works and when. and takes cuts of dances rather than just making money off of stage fees.... during slow times, not capping the # of girls is really the worst thing a club can do to the girls who ARE there.

    I could've sworn that before I started dancing and was doing all of my research, mainly on this site, everyone said summers were deadzo and winters were busy... LOL what happened to that?? And what does Turkey Day mean for us?

    I have notice this too. Last night, any of the girls who were making money at all was because they had regulars, or should I say 'regular'. Myself included

    And I hate it because the regs know that it is slow and it's like they know they have control over your income. There was nobody left to sell dances to!

    So all of us that did have a reg...kept them on a short leash, LOL!

    It was slow, boring and pathetic.

    I guess that means you're NOT working at Pony then, because last time I was there they were pretty much hiring any twat who appeared at the door and letting everyone work whenever. 70 girls on a Tuesday night. Waaaaayyyyy too many.

    70 girls on a freakin TUESDAY?!?!

    Well when I said he is limiting the number of girls who work, I think I phrased that wrong...What I meant was he actually was sending our girls home when they would come in the club to work. But my manager will hire any female who walks in the club, it's ridiculous. Even though business is slow, he still hires girls.

    I just started a new club and it's been steady, but not really busy on any of the five nights I've worked so far. But, I don't take no for an answer so I make money no matter what, lol. I'm pretty sure some of the girls there think I'm nutso for how I talk to the guys.

    Even at The Cheetah, the number of girls is being limited (finally!). It used to be packed to 80, now it's somewhere around 50-60. Mind you, it's a huge club. It's been slower than usual. I don't know why. By midnight last night, the club had cleared.

    The Pony, heh. The head honchos thought it'd be a good idea to collect the house fees of 70+ dancers instead of letting 30-40 girls earn a decent living.

    well, over a year, those dancer fees (at a mere 100 per girl) are a cool 1.5-2million guaranteed income even if no customers come through. and some will, so it's practically free money from management's perspective...

    Yes, last night was really bad (Cheetah, Atlanta). By midnight, it was nearly a ghost town! And there was a pretty good amount of people there from 10-11 and after that, boom, everyone was gone! The Cheetah now has a cut off where if you haven't called by 7:30 to request to come in, forget it. They used to cram as many girls as possible but now the GM is putting a limit on how many girls that can work in any given night. Maybe he's realizing that more girls doesn't necessarily mean more money (for anyone and that includes the club). Our club doesn't have a "house fee" but they make up for it in the high VIP room fees and "hourly" fees so when there's so many girls there, nobody can afford to tip out anyone and perhaps he's seeing that.

    I wasn't in this business during "good old days" but I don't see it getting better any time soon. To go to the SC, it really is quite expensive for the average person. Gasoline prices are at an all time high rate, I heard gas prices & electric is going up this winter and with the holidays around the corner, going to the SC to spend money is a luxury, not a necessity. I guess all we can do is keep hoping it'll get better and when you're at work, learn how to get the most out of what you can (limit your breaks, limit your time sitting with someone unless you're in VIP and learning who's going to spend on you & who's not).

    ^^Yeah, not to mention everyone is starting to freak out about the drought down here. That's keeping everyone in an iffy mood and not necessarily making guys wanna come out and spend money like that.

    My club is rather small and we had 23 girls last weekend. ON THE DAY SHIFT. I was practically tripping over girls to get a freakin' dance.

    This is going to sound awful, but there's been evidence recently that other countries are sabotaging the US dollar to make it more profitable for them. Such as, certain people only taking foreign currency, making the US dollar worth less and less. There are some people (large companies even) refusing US currency and only accepting the pound or aud, for example. The world is now against the American economy - and it doesn't help the American economy is against itself!

    With each post I read about America, slow seasons, recessions - I become more and more grateful I left when I did. From the outside looking in, America seems to be in a sea of sharks on a small boat with a hole in it. It's not going anywhere.

    My advice is to do your best to get out. Sure, I pay a shitload more in taxes - but I'm making more than ever, my job is pretty consistant now, rent is cheap and I get absolutely free healthcare and all my medications combined cost $20 a month and that's if I don't get generic.

    Not trying to toot my own horn or country or anything - but the downfall of America looks so close it's not even funny. Trillions in debt, most people don't know what a savings is, healthcare so expensive people would rather die than go to a hospital... and can you really see where your taxes are going? At all?! When I drive down the road, I see my tax dollars making a new bridge, fixing that bumpy drive, paying for a decent education of even adolescents and paying for my healthcare. I -see- my tax dollars working. When I paid taxes in America, it felt completely pointless. I wasn't going to see any of that working for me.

    It's no wonder people aren't spending money on strippers.

    And this was a very long-winded rant considering the topic. I'm so sorry. I'll shut up. :x

    ^ Two grand, including ticket. But I moved here with only two pieces of luggage. Not much - but within two years I built a life 20 years in America couldn't get me. I own my car, go on a bunch of trips - in the end, struggling for a few months in the beginning with nothing was worth it. I have to caution, it's a bit hard visa-wise and once you're here visas will cost a bit more, so keep saving money. Also, I wasn't really saying 'Move to Australia' more as I was saying 'Move away from America'.

    In re: sponsorhsip - there are gold mines here BEGGING for workers. Starting at 80k a year and they LOVE foreigners, because sponsorship means you HAVE to work there for two years - which means they get you guaranteed for two years. You don't have to be IN a mine, either, you can get a desk job with them. Within two years, as well, you'll be making 120k a year, plus you work four days and have four day weekends, plus you get two months paid vacation...

    My club has its ups and downs, but the money has been consistant for me. I think it has made a difference for me that I try to stand way out from the other girls and look like I am always enjoying myself. Guys see that, and I am always in demand at my club. But then again, our economy has picked up due to the decline of the US economy.
