    Default what happens when it snows?

    it is snowing here in baltimore today and i think it's supposed to go for a while tonight too.
    i am supposed to work. im sure i can make it in, but what happens then? i'm assuming it will be insanely dead, and i will prob make no money? last night was horribly dead again, i maybe made 20 bucks. (normally this club is good for at least 200 or over).

    i REALLY REALLY need money right now. i have a massive amount of bills when i move in january, plus still saving for my b.a.

    does anybody have any insight to what kind of crowd there will be because of the snow?

    I'm pretty sure it'll be slow - but still, if I really needed money like you say you do than I'd still go in. Because, you know how it is, one guy can make it all work out, and even if you only make a few hundred, it's probably worth it right?

    Also guys in Baltimore are probably used to dealing with driving in the snow and stuff right?

    ^^ You'd think Wisconsinites would be pros at driving in the snow too. But evidently they are not. Sorry I'm just bitter. I haven't made jack shit in the last week. I hope everyone on SW makes alot of money tonight

    it depends. your club might not be busy bc its not in walking distance of stuff. when i worked downtown, it got packed when it snowed because people could walk and wanted something to do.

    neener neener, my club got closed

    Ehh. Snow doesn't necessarily = slow times. If snow was a business killer in Ottawa, we'd have to close up shop for six months.

    I work in Baltimore too, and yeah, when it snows, I generally find the money is not so good. Since i have to drive 40min without snow, to get to the club, if its snowing, I dont go in. thank god for being unscheduled!

    Bad past experiences have taught me to call out on a snowday. The club will most likely be dead(but you might get lucky and encounter that 1 special big spender...who knows). For me it's not worth the risk of getting my car into an accident, which will cost me far more money than what I'd make at work. It's also not worth the risk of getting sick, considering that you'd have to venture out into the cold, wear scantily-clad outfits in a club that's probably not heated to optimum(clubs are always kept so damn cold!), etc. Also, I wouldn't want to work a dead no-money shift when I have work at my full-time job early the next morning...it'd only be worth it if there's money to be made.

    But perhaps that's just me. The *real* reason I am turned off on working snowdays is because of a traumatic experience I had a few years ago. When my mother was sick in the hospital, I obediently went to work as scheduled despite it being a sucky snow-night, and planned to visit her the next day when I was off. Because of the snow, I ended up making little money, and I wasn't able to drive far in the snow, so I stayed snowed in at my friend's place nearby my work and the snow hindered me from visiting my mom until later that day. By the time the roads had cleared and I was able to drive, I got the call that my mom had passed away. If it weren't for work, I certainly would have taken the 2hr drive up to visit my mom earlier that day, before the snowstorm came. I actually had wanted to do that and had contemplated calling out, but realized that it was supposedly "important" to be a reliable employee. So that's the real reason why I really don't give a fucking crap about being "Miss Reliable Employee" much anymore.
