    Default ok, so am I the only one who thinks this is bad form???

    I have a couple of little things to rant about, and they're gonna both go in the same post so I don't hog space (pixels?)

    1) last night, we were about to close the upper part of the club, which I'm officially connected to, so the guy who had come to buy a half hour with me, specifically with me, was told he couldn't cos my manager told me I was done. Then, while I was getting all my stuff, up walks another girl who works in the same part of the club, and waltzes of to the room with him. WHAT THE FUCK??? My manager just gipped my of about $60. I was not impressed at all. He has done other similar things, like pulled me off stage part way through a set cos he wants to go home, or yelled at me in front of a custie who was about to buy a dance, because I 'wasn't meant to be' where I was.

    2) Was talking to a guy who was sitting by the stage (accepted here) and he was discussing pricing with me. The girl off stage came round and asked for a tip (literally - "can I have a tip now?") and the guy I was talking to her said 'not right now, I'm talking, come back in a sec", to which she said "no, NOW" (yes yelling) and he said 'not if you act like that" and she picked up his beer and threw some of the liquid over him, slammed it down and stormed off.



    What great PR for the club. The guy was ready to spend, and after that was so angry he left. And NOTHING was done about what she did.

    I'm thinking of switching. I've only been here 3 months but some of the shit is just... gah.

    WEAK. Can you write an annoymous note to the owner of the club expressing concerns about professionalism and the lack of which is having an impact on the club?

    Oh screw that. Talk to the owner about it..or the GM..somebody above that guy. Or switch clubs.

    And $60 for HALF AND HOUR?? Are you kidding??Thats SO not worth it!

    well $60 is what I get out of it. It's $85. But still.

    Idk, last night was better. Way better. Manager didn't have a go at me at all. But still, trialing at another club tonight, should be interesting.

    I should go to bed, shift finished, went out for a few drinks, now drunkenly stumbling round the net. Hmm.

    yeah, that all seems odd! like, the whole thing about him pulling you off stage?? that seems pretty dramatic and the fact that some girl just walks up to someone you are talking to and asks for a tip??? did he tip her while she was dancing?

    I know at my club, you can sit with guys at the stage, but you have to make sure they are tipping the girl on stage, which is a good rule i beleive!

    as for the 30 minute thing, you better be charging way more than that!

    kim - I can't charge more than that - it's club prices!

    and as for the girl, she was on stage, she was dancing, and I usually make whoever I'm talking to tip, but this guy was well loaded, and I knew he would, so I wasn't going to force him to right at that moment, she was still in her first song and we're up for 3 songs, so (and it's not actually expected for us to make them tip at my club) I figured it was ok... apparently, she thought not.

    I'm honestly thinking of switching, I know I'm worth more than this.

    Switch clubs. Seriously $85 for a HALF HOUR?? Thats insane!! I'm sure there are better places with better staff and prices. I've NEVER worked in a club that charged that little for a half hour.The least I"ve ever accepted for a half hour(AFTER the clubs cut) was $200

    I dunno, clubs here in nz do things a bit differently from what I've gathered... but yeah, I had always felt it was... cheap. Hmm.

    Yay for trial tonight (yeah I should sleep. Doh.)

    this is why getting business cards or email is so important in my opinion.
    once that happened to the guy I would have gotten his info so I could take
    care of him at a later date. otherwise I'd be kicking myself and wanting to
    kick the girl for losing out on that guy for what could be forever.

    what a little twat.

    switch clubs. the manager's behavior is reason enough to swtich.

    That whole pulling you off stage to send you home makes no sense. and then yelling at you in front of customers... that's so degrading.

    Get out of there, clubs like this never change, the longer you stay the worse things will get.

    That sounds about right for New Zealand. Clubs here work by selling time and the prices aren't the best...

    Nonono, I worked there for like a whole week.

    I have a thing about adding new countries to my 'worked in' list.

    m2w - heh, was thinking about doing that over summer, would be a fun working holiday

    lys - where did you work? heh, would be interested to hear an 'outsider's' perspective...

    i just switched clubs, and now am much happier, made tonight what I usually make on a busy saturday, and it was eeeeeasy - didn't hustle, didn't have manager breathing down my neck, girls are nicer.

    Yay.
