    Default Tipping out people who don't treat you well?

    Luckily, where I am at right now, there's not a lot of people to tip out, and everyone is pretty cool. But I've heard stories from others that aren't so fortunate, and I'm wondering how you've dealt with that situation. Have you ever refused to tip someone out? What would have to happen to make you decide to not tip someone out, or under-tip them?

    Usually, if you can't afford to tip out at the end of the night, you have to tip out before your next shift starts.

    I try not to undertip, I'm either tipping the minimum or above. I see it as good karma. I don't wanna burn any bridges either.

    hmmm....
    there's a house mom I only tip minimum unless I eat and then I add 2-5 dollars.
    This is because she is rude and sometimes shady (rumors of her stealing from girls.)
    The other house moms, depending on my night get an extra five or ten dollars.

    I've also had a dj and a manager who wanted me to tip them $30 each on a slow sunday where I found my own customer to hang out with me for an hour. The manager sat back in his office and the dj, while helpful-- didn't help me actually make my money. He offered me a guy that was going to get handsy (though he warned me in advance.) I told the dj that I would approach that guy after I finished with my client. But then my client ended up taking up my time.

    so-- I haven't been back there, and if I do, I'll go on days when that manager isn't there. I'm not going to pay you to do nothing when it's obvious the club is run badly (for other reasons-- me and the dj's girlfriend were the only two dancers there during dayshift.)

    at one club i worked in, i loved the bouncers. i even tipped out the barback bc he acted as a bouncer sometimes and helped me out and hooked me up. there was one bouncer, though, who was a PRICK. he tried to get money however he could, he would lie and say i didnt tip him or ask for money and didnt do shit when he was watching lap dances.

    in that case, i would tip him the minimum, never more, and i would overtip everyone else. he knew that he was getting the minimum and they got more, im sure.

    Britt- that's a good idea. That's a good way to send the desired message without getting in trouble.

    Is this the club you're at now? If so, can you please PM me cause I work there and want to know who this is. Thanks.

    I will stiff the house mom if she's bitchy. I think house moms are completely unnecessary in the first place, and I never use them for anything. Somehow I manage to bring what I need to work, or get creative and make do without it. I will tip the house mom the minimum, but never more than that.

    If a house mom has an attitude with me, she gets nothing. I'm not giving anyone money to do nothing but sit on her ass and scream at me to "get back on the floor!" like some low-level pimp every time I set foot in the DR. I'm not paying someone to constantly ride my ass and give me a hard time about whatever she decides the issue of the night is.

    I've recently had a problem with a DJ who seems to think himself above playing me what I want to hear on stage. I've worked at probably 6-7 clubs in five years and never had such a problem. If I end up dancing to Disturbed, you are not getting tipped. I have a list. If the list "slows your computer down" and if after I ask you to play what I want you tell me you are "done taking requests"... well, I consider it a job you didn't do so fuck you.

    This is a club where there's one girl on stage at a time. If I am stuck up there for ten minutes dancing to shit I don't want to hear, as far as I'm concerned, you just lost me money instead of helping me make it. And if money is the only way I can say "fuck you" for that strong enough... so be it.

    yeah...there was one DJ I never tipped. Neither did most of the other girls. My card said dance/techno, yet he always played me crappy 80's rock, metal or country-western. Ew.

    I tip according to how I am treated, otherwise they will keep treating you the same.

    I'm with Buffie... I tip according to how I'm treated.... especially the DJs.

    I'm not a demanding dancer at all. My one request is that the strobe light be kept off because it makes me nauseous and look icky. I don't even request specific sets... I just tell them nothing very fast or very hard. We have some really talented DJs who are great at picking out sets. They're also sweethearts and I tip them all I can.

    Our last DJ, unfortunately, got really cocky and demanding. He wasn't very good... it was his first time DJing... but he still expected so much. He acted like he owned the place and bossed all the girls around. Needless to say I wasn't in a hurry to tip him very much. One time, I wanted to be taken off the stage list about ten minutes before my shift ended (which is pretty standard anyway) because I was going to do a few dances and didn't want to waste time at an empty stage. He wanted me to give him $50 for it. Um, no.

    There was also a house mom in Vegas who was a total snatch to me. My first night there, she did absolutely nothing for me and I still gave her $10. We don't have a house mom at my club so I thought this was an ok tip considering I didn't use her stuff and she did nothing for me. She acted like I pissed in her hand and was rude about it. She got nothing from me the rest of the week I was there and every time she looked, I took one of her breath mints. lol
