    Bull-shit.

    Thats called being a bully. He's trying to get more money from you for what, pumping you up more on stage? Thinking up a cute, orginal intro for you and you alone? No.

    Personally, if I made 1800 in one night, I'd slide the DJ a fifty or a c-note. Then again, the DJ's I work with assist the ladies to make money. They just don't sit on their ass, get high and or jacked up and then at the end of the night hold their hand out.

    It also depends on your situation. Are you a traveling dancer? Is this your home club? Etc. TD's like myself have expenses, hotel, gas food and so forth.

    Here's what I do, every hundred I tip the DJ - ten or twenty. It depends on my tips.

    Your club has a mandatory tip out of twenty bucks. Say you make three hundred one night with good tips.. Or bad. Thats eighty to sixty dollars.

    I think thats generous and more than fair.

    I appreciate any tip I get, especially if it's above the "minimum". Maybe that's just me. Your DJ sounds like an asshole.

    Our club has a "standard" tip-out of $15. If you make more than $150, you're "supposed" to tip 10%, but I've NEVER seen that observed... EVER. The DJ's actually don't mind it, because they know how much they're getting each night, and I've never had a problem.

    The ONLY time I really will ever tip the DJ extra is if he does something special for me... Like if I just HAVE to run to the bathroom and I know I won't have time... I'll slide him an extra $5-$10 and tell him I've got to run to the bathroom, and can he please give me like an extra minute? He'll loop the music, talk for about 30 seconds, and that way I have time to make it to the stage on-time. But my DJ & I are fairly tight... Like one time he was organizing a showtime and the guy couldn't decide who to use for it, and he recommended me. I heard about it from another dancer, so I slid him an extra $10. Stuff like that, I'll tip him extra for. But our club doesn't really expect a full 10% and nobody ever does it, so I usually just stick with the standard tip.

    My DJ's are great and everything, but I find it really hard to tip them more than I actually made on stage. But I almost always end up giving them more than I made on stage anyway. The problem is that with so many girls, each of us only gets on stage like 2 or 3 times. This almost always amounts to less than $20 for me in stage tips. But we're still expected to tip the DJ $2 per dance ($25 dance with an $8 payout), so if I end up doing 25 dances, I have to tip him $50?! More than twice what I made on stage..? No way. That makes no sense to me. And the guys at my club VERY RARELY tip on dances. Like one or two guys a night will give me an extra 5 or 10. So this results in the DJ getting about $1 a dance, plus $5 or $10, so if I did 25 dances, he'd get 30 or 35.

    Whenever I feel bad about not giving the "standard" amount (and I think very few of the other girls do it either) I remind myself that I'm the one taking my clothes off and rubbing on gross old men. None of the employees ever point out good customers to me -- at my club, all the good ones have regulars already, and the staff doesn't really know about who's good and who's not anyway. The most allowance I'll make for tipping extra when an employee has helped me is when the waitress processes a large amount of funny money for me.

    If I have an especially good night, I will tip more. Otherwise I just tip the standard amount (we have no minimum...so I just tip what appears to be the average amount). We make zero money on stage, and the DJs don't do a whole lot to help us make money. (Nothing, really). If it were otherwise, I might be more inclined to give them money.

    Yeah, if a DJ actually helped me earn money I might be more interested in tipping. But I've generally found that I can earn the same amount with a DJ or no DJ - up to and including stage tips. I just don't believe in the magic power of DJs to help me earn. I view anything over the minimum as a gift.

    $20 is generous for a DJ.

    He's trying to dig more $$$ out of you and make you feel quilty, screw that. Keep tipping what you always did, don't spoil him by tipping more. And if you make over a grand one evening tip him TWENTY BUCKS!

    Now i have had certain DJ's point customers my way, and i am aware...yea give a tad more.

    If it's business as usual $20. Period.

    I have been known to tip more than $20 however. I liked some of the Dj's and the music. Also they help out in many other ways as well in a couple clubs i danced.

    At my club I give the DJ whatever I make on the main stage. Whether its $5 or $50. If I have a really good night Ill give him an extra $20/$50/whatever before I go.

    Dhs have the habit of making more than some of the girsl do.. Example.. we had about 11 dancers last night (small club) he got 40 from each.. ummm. you do the math. Mine doens't even pick the music, he just announces since he is now our "door girl" as well and we still pay him the full amount. I am nice to everyone I work with, but I only give more if he actually helps me out. He will tell me who seems like a good tipper, but honestly everyone he has sent me to seems to want more than I can offer.
    I say screw it, pay what you pay and then go home and forget about it. It's great that he is helping you out, but just because you make money doesn't mean you have to give him a portion of it. Who dealt with the custies? him or you?
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    I tip 10% of what I will walk out with. They usually expect 10% of your gross, and to that, I say KISS MY ASS. I know that I need to make $587 in my club to walk out with an even $500 after tipouts. That means the DJ gets $50.

    If you don't calculate tips as a cost of doing business in a strip club, then it's easy to get stingy and stiff people at the end of the night.

    I love some of the DJ's I’ve met who don't play requests don't advertise lap dances and don't interact with the dancers yet still expect 10-20%.

    It's ridiculous how everyone in this industry seems to think that they ought to be tipped just for being in the vicinity of money. That would be like being next to a keno machine when someone hits $800 and then telling them (and feeling perfectly entitled to do so) that they owe you 10% because you cleaned the carpets there that morning. Yes you made it a little more pleasant, yes you did your job, but that's about it. You DID YOUR JOB... and already got paid for it. Why feel entitled to a percentage of someone else’s pay that they get for doing THEIR job.

    Honestly most dj's DO earn a tip. But do they deserve 10% of $1800. Probably not $75-100 is pretty adequate unless they're the ones that led you to $1800 guy (in which case I'd give up 20% with a smile).

    I'm really disturbed how an increasing amount of club employees feel entitled to a cut. What about door girls (not to offend any here in any way) what do they do above and beyond their job description to deserve 5% of my income? If I need something extra like a food order placed or to have them hand some money to my husband (so I don't have to be seen doing it) I tip them $5-10 but 5%? That's outrageous especially if I made over a grand. That's $50. What do I have to do to earn that kind of tip? Seriously, WE don't get tips like that, and we get naked.

    My suggestion would be to tip for service just like any other service employee (hell even dancer don't get tipped just for walking by). If they've done a exceptional job tip them exceptionally, if they've done nothing other than the minimum required tip them the minimum requirement. That's irregardless of your income that night. I really will tip $20 when I've made $800 and tip $50 when I've make $150. They can like it or not really. I don't feel bad. Just like our job, if you don't earn the money you don't get the money.

    I'm cheap. I tip the minimum unless I fuck up or need a favor throughout the night. Our min is $10, and I'll regularly go up to fifteen, and sometimes twenty.

    the vip host is the one I give more money to because he's the one who'll hook me up.

    I agree with RC. I know of one particularly abrasive dj that owns a 300,000. house and is planning on starting his own business and snorts coke. And I struggle to make a hundred dollars after tip outs. Fuck him and those like him.

    Ariellecunt- if you had a great night and *he helped* you earn that night I would tip him very well but if he just played your songs and what not and then you earned a good amount on your own, I see no reason to tip him more than other girls.
