    Default PDX New Stage Rules Suck.

    I work in Portland, at 3 clubs. One of them just started the most RIDICULOUS practice of keeping two stages open at all times on night shifts. Some nights, there are 4 girls working (6 on weekends). So when there are four girls, that means 3 songs on, three songs off. It used to be that the DJ watched how many people were in the club, and if there were 20 people or more total (relatively small club) he was required to open a second stage. Now, the owners have told him both must be open, every night shift. Last night was the first night I worked under this new policy and it was HORRIBLE. On a Tuesday, I am lucky if I make 250 at that club. I have to tip out a DJ (15), security (10) a bartender (5), a waitress (3) and the kitchen guy (3) and pay a stage fee (10). So there goes 46 of my 250 and I am down to 204, take-home cash. With the new policy, I have 3 f*ing songs to run back to the DR, freshen up or change, then go hustle. It is IMPOSSIBLE to sell strings of dances in 3 songs. I had to leave a customer who wanted 5 dances after only 2 dances because I had to go onstage. I made 5 dollars that stage set. LAME. With 4 girls doing three-song sets (roughly 10 min each) that means I am onstage for 30 minutes of every hour. I don't think I'm gonna stay. Sorry had to rant.

    BTW: sorry if my thread title is misleading. I just wanted to point out that I am in portland, not insinuate that there are new city-wide rules or something.

    Sassy's. The silly thing is that they are also REMODELING the club right now. There is not a lot of seating, sawdust is everywhere...and yet this new rule is in place. That 10 dollar stage fee is new too--it used to be 5 for night shifts. So, they want us to work waay more, make less money, but pay a higher stage fee. NO thanks!

    Oh, fuck that. What a shame because I've been there as a customer and it was great.

    Boo, how lame! Esp. considering that it's a fun place to go to as a patron.

    I was at Sassy's as a customer last night (Wed) and saw what you are talking about. It must be exhausting! I agree that the decision to open another stage should depend on how busy the club is. What a shame. Sassy's is one of my favorite Portland clubs.

    P.S. I'm a brand new dancer....can you tell me what the legal do's and don'ts are (in terms of contact) for Portland clubs? Or point me to another thread?

    Thanks!

Trust me - if you do this, he will never want to leave, and he will always come back for more.

    I guess I really don't mind, because I prefer to work the stage rather than hustle or do dances and sometimes guys will throw down $20 bills on stage anyway. However, it is annoying how you can only sell two dances at a time on this system.
