    Default Have to vent...grrr...

    Okay, so on top of making $50 last night, which is the lowest amount of money I have EVER made, and dealing with a rude, custy stealing bitch(that's a whole 'nother rant), my club now has a housemom! WTF! We have to pay her minimum $7, which i know isnt that bad, but still. I don't need some woman sitting there all night, doing her nails, taking my money. She is nice and all, but um, I can bring my own tampons and deodorant, thank you very much. Yeah, she brings some food on friday and saturday nights, but I don't eat during a shift.

    My whole night last night was just incredibly frustrating and the lack of money plus housemom was just too much.

    Maybe I'm totally over reacting, I admit, I've never worked with a housemom before.

    We have to tip our housemom $10. She's nice and all, like you said, but um, she doesn't do anything for me.
    She brings plastic forks I think...but $10 is alot for a fork. She'll fix clothes and stuff for girls, but I've never needed anything fixed so grrr.
    I guess it's just the way it is. Kind of like the $10 minimum for the bouncer who doesnt carry my bags, or open my door, and walks away before I get in my car. It was a $5 minimum at my old club and they carried bags, opened doors, and watched til you were outta that parking lot. I usually tipped them $10-$20.
    It sucks having to give money you worked for to somebody who hardly does shit for you. But I think thats part of being a stripper.

    That bites, about the sucky house mom and the door guys who won't carry your bag. The last two clubs I've worked at we have had nice guys (who the girls rarely, if ever, tip) who walk you out, carry your bag, open your door, etc. I usually tip them $3-$5, but most of them have told me that the majority of girls don't tip them at all, which I think is bullshit. I am glad it's not mandatory though. That makes people lazy.

    See, our door guys are cool, I'm happy to tip them. they carry my bag, wait till i drive off, open doors, etc. so they earn their money.

    I've never had a housemom but that would really piss me off, too.

    Aww.. I love our housemom. She has everything including a billion curling irons and flat irons which is nice since mine have been stolen numerous times. We also have a tanning bed she takes care of. She will fix clothes and has extras of everything. She has 2 hairdresser/makeup artists that come on Fri/Sat nights.

    She brings tons of homemade food weekend night shifts which is great. Yummy!

    BUT we dont have a minimum we HAVE to tip. We just tip what we want and if we make shit she totally understands. I dont like when I HAVE to tip anyone. A tip is a tip.

    Wow, I think I know where you're coming from, literally. Don't happen to work in Baltimore, do you? If so, I think the bathroom attendant covered almost all that shit anyway, and she was nice and sweet. The surprise housemom I had to deal with recently was in no way sympathetic. I didn't make shit one night, and she made DAMN sure I was gonna be in the next night to get her her $7

    We dont have to tip our housemom,and since she does nothing for me ..I dont. I HATE having a bathroom attendant. Shes a nice lady I guess( I dont really talk to her)bit I hate feeling like i have to pay to pee at work. She has all hairspray and shit too.but that what we have a housemom for if we need it. I always give her a buck or so because it isnt her fault and she needs her money too..but she recently put up a sign saying "mom is waiting for her tip". Yeah...no more. You arent the house mom...and DEMANDING a tip with an attitude for doing nothing..literally. Piss off.

    I'm sure she was only hired to narc for the club on what girls she sees doing drugs in the bathroom

    That's too bad. the bathroom attendant where i work was a really sweet lady who never demanded a tip. Always was happy to have you come in a chat with her when you needed a break from the main floor, and always made me smile when I went in there. The house mom on the other hand, doesn't do any of that stuff. I think my club did do it in part to keep an eye on the girls in the dressing room.

    I guess it's possible that stuff has been going on in the dressing room that I don't know about, that needs to be controlled, but I spend basically no time up there, so I have no clue, lol

    THAT would piss me off. Id dry my hands on a toilet seat cover and walk out the door. I dont need to pay you to hand me a paper towel. Now, if I use some of your body spray or take mints/gum then Ill give you a dollar. No way Im payin to piss.

    she's gone? boo haha not that i'd be back but she was so sweet!

    i dont like housemoms. scores had one and she was such a high and mighty bitch. thought she was better than us because she went to princeton. though she stripped starting at age 15 other than that the only place i worked at with a housemom was in delaware and i only worked there for 2 weeks.

    Honestly, I really hate the whole "tip out everyone in sight" part of "being a stripper." That was one of the things I really hated back when I danced. I agree, it feels lame to tip out a housemom that doesn't do anything for you, especially when you are making shit money that night. The person who wrote "Our housemom brings in plastic forks, but $10 is a lot to pay for a plastic fork" summed it up perfectly.

    I notice that the whole "tip out everyone in sight" mentality also seems to carry over to workers OTC. A lot of my stripper friends would overtip servers or else they would tip workers that don't work off tips, such as gas station attendants. It was weird, almost as if they were in this zombie state that told them "tip, tip, tip!" and they couldn't snap out of it and realize they were no longer in the club.

    I've totally noticed that I've started overtipping everyone OTC. My BF will lay down a tip for a waiter/ess, and I add a couple bucks onto it.

    We don't have to tip Mama unless we use her stuff, and she has a shit load of stuff, but she sets up in the bathroom right off the main floor, so if we don't want to go all the way upstairs for the dressing room, everything we need is right there, which is nice.

    But she's usually never there for my shift unless I work past seven on a Thursday or Friday.

    Luckily, you can do both.

    Philly, I have that same problem! One time, I went to IHOP with the bf and our waitress was bad... really really bad. He's like, "She doesn't get a tip" and I was like okay... I ended up paying the bill at the cash register and afterwards, he was like, "You tipped her, didn't you?" LOL!!!! She was probably the worst waitress ever and I still felt like I owed it to her.

    Hah! Yeah, same housemom, different stripper. I really wish they'd just made the bathroom lady the housemom. She cared for the girls a whole lot more, and was tons nicer. The Hustler housemom is a total bitch. She tried to tell me she understood that I didn't make anything, then goes on to say that she still has to have her tip, because she still has to pay for the stuff she brings in. Such BS! She's the reason I decided not to work any more Thurs-Sat night shifts (bc she is there) and the crappy amount of custies is why I haven't been up there working lately. The last time I was up, I literally left with $10, and I didn't even pay my house fee, tip out the DJ or bouncers, etc. Just paid to get out of the parking garage.
