    Default From stripper to shooter girl, same club?

    Stripping isn't something I'm personally cut out to do full time. I'm better suited to stripping as a side project. I'm trying to find a well-paying full time job, and the club I work at is hiring for waitresses and shooter girls. The managers like me and would be willing to hire me. A shooter girl is like a waitress, but she dresses sluttier (here the waitresses have fairly conservative sports bar get ups), and just sells shots. She's also flirtier, etc, and it's a bit easier than waitressing, I think, insofar as it's less complicated.

    I've checked it out, and shooter girls can make a good $175-225/ a shift here, if they're pushy/flirty enough. It's not stripper money, and longer than stripper hours, but it's pretty good.

    The thing is though, I don't know if it'd be weird for me to work as 'myself'-ish at a place I've danced at for three years. Like, with the customers...I dunno. I'd try to keep using my stage name if I could. Also, you're not allowed to strip in town if you work at the club. So I could still skip down to Montreal or Niagara for stripping trips, but if I wanted to work in town I'd have to go to a scuzzier place and be really careful. That might be a con. Of course, I could always quit.

    Can anyone else offer any pros/ cons? How does it look on a resume to be working at a strip club as a waitress?

    i can completely talk about this situation.
    i tried it. it didn't work for me, and here's why.

    1. it was really hard to be working in the same club, seeing guys that had been my customers come in, or just any customers in general and have them say things like "why aren't you dancing tonight? i'd have done a private room with you in a heartbeat" and then i'd think about all the money i could have made off of them.

    2.along a similar line as above, it was hard to see the other dancers making a lot of money for what felt like less work, and know that i used to make that kind of money, but wasn't making anywhere near it just waitressing there.

    3. and for me, when i was working at my club as a stripper i would automatically slip into stripper mode and my little stripper alter ego would come out, but it was kind of hard to do that as a waitress for some reason.

    why not try to cocktail waitress or bartend at a different/regular bar?
    i don't know, maybe it would work out for you waitressing at your club, but it was really hard for me. I went to a regular bar and bartend now and while i don't make the same money, its easier to accept because i don't have to see other girls making considerably more.

    good luck.

    ^^Thanks. That confirms a lot of what I kind of expected. I saw another girl here go from dancer, to waitress, back to dancer, mostly because of what you mentioned. I have a sort of jr. waitressing job now at a busy restaurant. I suspect if I work hard and put my time in, I can get promoted to the full gig waitress, and I know they can pull in $200+ for a shift too, with daytime hours and no jealousy of naked girls, lol. Plus that way I can dance on the side whenever I want.

    How is your other job going? Is that combined with stripping not working for you?

    Good for you! If you can handle it and are a loser like me with no plans, Canada Day can be a total goldmine.

    also it's kind of a great ice breaker.

    customer to me: oh, you're not dancing tonight?!

    or if i am dancing, "hey, where are my shots tonight?!"

    Luckily at my club, as a shooter im allowed to give a few LD's if I pay a house fee- so if a custy asks i can just say, actually! im a secret undercover blahblahblah. (insert hustle here)

    I think the shooter girl idea is a good option, but if you could get promoted as full time waitress at the "normal" restaurant that might be a better option since it's the same amount of $ without being in the strip club environment, plus it enables you to still strip if you want.

    I think it could be a good idea if you definately want to stop stripping for now. If you're not totally sure, maybe it would just be a constent reminder that you could be making more money. Don't get me wrong, some nights the shooter girls make more money than most dancers! I say give it a try and see how it goes, the worse that can happen you tell management you changed your mind and want to dance again, as you know, that's pretty common in our business.

    yea i did it but realized how much i liked dancing better. it took 3 nights lol

    first night i made 200

    second 600

    third like 3 dollars

    so its doable but the hustle is waaaay more intence than dancing you have to basicly pour the shots down their throats then demand the money.

    i found it way to stressful. good luck
