    Default Spearmint Rhinos usa vs uk

    Hiya all. i was just wondering what the spearmint rhino chain was like in the usa? obviously every club is different i was just wondering what your stories were etc etc
    I have worked in some of the ones over here in the uk in
    Sheffield (the worst earning club in its chain ever apparently)
    Birmingham
    Birmingham extream
    London
    all of which are not what you expect them to be like they are not as good as you would have thought. maybe that is due to the dancers that do this job over here? i dont know i was just wondering how it differed. i would love to come and dance in america i might do some day before i get too old lol xxxx

    Hi! The only SR I have ever been to is the one out here in Vegas, and it is very very very good. I have always wanted to go to the one in Prague tho...I guess it has a casino too!

    heeheee uk clubs suck so bad. no contact and high house fees. add stingy ass chain smoking englishmen to the mix and you got the makings of hard work for little pay. spearmint here is muuuuuch better love. i only worked at the two in south florida and i heard the ones out west are even better.
    they tend to be very dark and have load house music all night, i personally prefer red lights and hip hop or at least r and b. u are probably used to this kind of club in the uk though. i didnt here any hip hop anywhere when i was there.

    spearmint in LA is supposed to be good too but i heard quite competitive. all the wannabe actresses who dont make it probably end up there.

    The Prague one only lasted about 6 months and shut. The Moscow Spearmint is now a DeJaVu.

    so the dominant opinion is that UK SR's suck then? lol guess i won't apply for the newly opened one here
    I have heard they treat their dancers well which has to count for something (sick of getting changed in toilets)

    I think the general opinion in the UK is that Spearmint clubs are good in the sense of well decorated and organised but they tend to be greedy over things like house fees and often have way too many girls on. It's a criticism that you can make at several of the UK owned clubs as well.

    Not many UK clubs make dancers change in the toilets though quite a few strip pubs do.

    yea i ahve to say that not all strip clubs in the uk are like what some seem to think. Chain smoking english men? smoking is not allowed in the clubs anymore. some clubs you do have a contract. and they dont charge you massive fees to work. yes i admit the mjority do but not all and not all clubs result in little pay. yes and not all clubs make you change in the toilets i have oinly been to two that do that. and i have been around (lol take that how you will) I just wondered what it was alike in america obviously i think its one of them things that you have to try for ya self to see how good/bad it is. I just assumed cuz it was the same chain that it would have some similarities and some differences.
    Its funny how we stereotype different countrys for example psychologists in america? xx

    oh shoot.... no smoking in england now huh????? that must be nice. when i was there was several years ago and i felt like i was around smokers constantly.

    hmmm..... well i think seeing is believing for sure. i personally have had good experiences with the spearmints i have worked at. i have heard that the ones in england are a bit ruthless when it comes to fees and all that. my freinds told me that they enjoy working stringfellows much more. well at any rate good luck to you!!!!

    hiya nina yea i know what ya mean. i smoke myself but i do preer the smoking ban over here. I have noiced a diference though you can really smell if someone has BO or wind lol i think its cuz i am used to the smoke masking it so to speak haha
    i only worked at string fellas a few times. a few years ago now it was ok but i prefered secrets and sr in london to strings.
    yea sheffield sr is apparently the less profitable sr out of the chain. it is decorated nice but far too many girls on and high commision and house fees. a lot of the uk is like that although Irland is quite fair in most places and Scotland i have found is verey good the dancers are scary. (most of them are just crazy though lol - no offense to anyone there by the way)
    I think America has got this industry down to a T. obviously i have never been but what i have seen from websites talking t friends that have been is the dancers are beautiful out there and look like dancers should - if i showed you some pics of the dancers over here you would be like uhhh??????
    i think clubs let anyone work over here (not all clubs) because they get a floor fee and commision so there are no standards especailly in leeds yorkshire way. I think that this gives the club a bad rep. I know men like all different types of girls and beauty is debatable but i thik some should just not be dancers (sorry im not being nasty here its just what i have noticed about the job)
    I love this post i have had some great insight. xxxxxxxx

    I danced at the one in Albuquerque and it wasn't anything special. However the club itself was very pretty and the food great, it was just really hard to pull in any decent amount of money.

    lol i'm a one of those scottish crazies here thankfully the women i have worked with have been normal, but i have heard stories from other local clubs.
    I think most towns have crazies though.
    My old club would hire anything that resembled a woman from the 55 yr old woman with breasts to her knees (my mother is 53 and looks so much better tan that woman, she looked about 70!) to the 300lb woman -_- really did wonders for my confidence to know i had the priviledge of being hired there.
    A few bullet wound ridden toothless dancers around too.

    eeekkk..... wow. well the only club in london that would hire me without proper papers was some spot in west london called LA confidential....... loads of russian girls that were hot as hell and down to fuck. obviously not in the club but also quite obviously somewhere else later on. needless to say i was up shits creek. ended up in chelmsford and milton keenes. i dont think i got the real english dancing experience. I got hired at secrets but then they turned me away cus i didnt have a euro passport.

    They have tightened up a lot on illegals working especially in London, you still get lots of Brazilians but they all seem to have Portuguese passports and so are OK. I think it's one of the reasons you get less American girls working in London than you did in the 1980s.

    You may have got away with it at some of the strip pubs but not at the better organised ones like Browns.

    Spearmint Rhinos r shit people to work for in the uk, They try to take soo much money and the bouncers always want tips!!, most of the clubs in england have gone very down hill in the last 2yrs alot.
    As for the strip pubs in London they can be ok but there are 2 many Brazillens and Eastern Europen girls shagging the guys to keep regulars, and 2 many guys that don't pay they FRIENDS of owners that seem to come all the time, Its also very gossipy scene , which I don't like, still moneys prob better.

    I live in lincoln and i dance outside there,(would never dance in my hometown) i went to leeds and i made good monney there until it went downhill with too many clubs and i found the girls were realy pretty yet couldnt understand why they were prepared to dance in clubs that were dying and commision and house fees were so high when they could make more monney elsewhere.
    I know emawhiplash was housemom at the new club in lincoln and she said she would bring standards to the girls there but all i saw were absolute dog when i visted mostly from the other grotty club in lincoln, i dont fault her because i think because lincoln is so out of the way but comeon, i would have contacted an agency, no one went on the pole the whole time i was in there and i was with my boyfriend and no one came over to even say hi and ask for a dance.
    my friend and his girlfriend went in and got his money back he said the walk to the dance area was quicker than the dance x

    The Rhino in Albuquerque shut down last feb. It was hot for awhile, but then it lost its momentum and finally collapsed. The one thing that stayed consistent were the burgers. Damn I miss the food!

    SR opened up in Dallas about 6 months ago. Recently went and it blew. Girls were nice but very money hungry. I was told dances were $20-$30. All the dancers I found wanted $30. Song's were cut at 3 minutes. Big ripoff iMO.

    Always like the SR in Vegas. I avoid the crowds and go after 3AM - sober. Club clears out about 6AM and its a lot more fun.

    Agreed. Out in Vegas it is THE most profitable club. I didnt know they had one in Prague. I'm half Slovenian, and speak a touch of Czech as well as Slovenian. I'm sure I'd have a ball.
