    Default How Much to tip out?

    How much should I be tipping the bar, security, and dj if I have a good night?
    The minimum we are supposed to tip the bar is 5
    security is 7
    and dj is 10.
    How much should I tip if I make 300 that night?
    400?
    500?
    600?
    700?
    I'm new at this so I have no idea, and I don't want to look cheap.

    PS. I searched already and got no results.

    Unless someone specifically helps me I don't tip any more than the minimum.

    If you have minimums and not percentages then it doesn't matter what you make as long as you tip the min. , then more is up to your discretion.

    I made around 700 last night and tipped the dj 17 bucks and he seemed unhappy about it (he didn't know how much I made, he just knew i got an hour in the champagne room) so i went back and asked another dancer and she said to tip double, so i went back and tipped him more. I think he was still kind of upset though. I dont want them to think I'm cheap but at the same time I worked hard for that money, and no they didn't really do anything to help me.

    Also, the manager collects the tips for the security. Do you think if one of the security did help me I should tip him directly? I'm not sure if that is even allowed.

    Usually 10$ to the dj is the MINIMUM, so it is 10% or 10$. If you made 700$ you should have tipped him 70$ or at least 50$.

    ^^ screw that, 10percent imo is not deserved unless there is a special reason one night. No matter what I tip everyone 20 bucks a night, I feel that is fine if I have a crap night or awesome at least the dj and house mom can count on a conisistant amount from me.

    ^^I see what you are saying, but it depends on the club. If it is a 10% or 10$ rule and the dj knows how much you are making then you need to tip him accordingly. You don't want to piss him off. If it is a club where the fee is 20$ then 20$ + a little extra if you do good is fine. It just depends on you club and what is expected. But 17$ or even 20$ for a 700$ night is way too low and if I was a dj I would be mad.

    I tip the minimums everynight
    $10 - DJ
    $20 - Each manager
    $5 - security

    I do not tip extra, I dont want their expectations for me to rise and then I cant meet them. Plus Im a cheap tipper because none of these employees give me any extra attention and hey make plenty good money so i would feel duped if i was constantly giving more hen the min.

    I save my tips for the waitresses who show me custies or when the manager does

    Pay the minimum.
    If i request a couple songs and the dj plays them ill give him an extra few bucks per song, or if a bouncer or bartender sells a dance for me or points me to someone who buys some dances tip 10%.
    Otherwise tip the minimum, its not our job to pay the clubs employees.

    Blah im just a little bitter because the dj's at my old club werent greatful for anything. They were down right mean if you had a bad night and couldnt tip high =/

    Ungrateful douche. I always get upset about how much girls tip the dj. I'll be damned if the DJ is going to make more than me in a night when I'm the one dealing with custies on the floor. $70 is nearly 4 dances. That was time spent listening to custy and combating his grabby hands. Sorry I get steamy. I would say 10% MAX unless he did something special.
