I had my first REALLY BAD DAY.Where do I come to make myself feel better? SW of course.

I knew this was bound to happen eventually....this was the first day of my 4th week. Somehow I had escaped it this long.
When I got to work, there was one customer on the floor. Yes, one. It was noon - and even for a Monday, I would have expected more business.
I sat down with him and actually got a few dances out of him (sweet!). It was a good start, and I thought perhaps the day might turn out well!
Bwahahaha......no.
Maybe 2 more tables of customers in the next few hours (I kid you not). One of them looked like blue-collar types, and didn't buy anything. They actually moved their table UP to the stage...touching it almost. I cringed when I had to dance on stage. They gave a few dollar bills to another dancer, so she could tip me. Normally, that wouldn't make me feel uncomfortable, but this dancer does not like me (or so it seems). We are complete opposites in everything from appearance, to dancing style, to music - EVERYTHING. She seems really tough and does not smile or talk to me. Ok - so I had to do some sort of nervous, weird little dance for "her". So awkward.![]()
Then - I got rejected for the very first time. This nice-looking guy in a suit, about my age....he tipped me well on stage, and when I got down, I went to sit with him. I thought it was a sure thing. He proceeded to tell me that dances were, "too personal", "too intimate", and that he felt guilty that he was even there, because he was married. <----WTF. Are you kidding me? Guilty.....my ass. Is that a popular BS line custies give when they don't wanna fork over $$ for a dance??
Anyhoo - so I'm pretty defeated at that point. I had been there for 2 hours and had what....$50-60? Not normal for my club AT ALL.
I was holding out until 2pm. At 2, we were getting a 15-person table in VIP. Ah ha! Maybe I could turn this sh*t day around!!? I was anxious to use all the "Large Group" tips I've learned in HH....
Uh....no. Turns out, half the table were women (wine reps), and the guys weren't buying. So ridiculous! I gave up and left at 4, after one last stage rotation. Not ONE customer on the floor at that point (other than the big table in VIP). I was dancing for the bartender and waitstaff I guess. LMAO.
I'm trying not to let this get me down, but dammit if it isn't really tough!!
Today was a waste of gas and makeup. I do feel slightly better now. *phew* Thanks for sitting through my vent![]()

Part of our job is a VERY unsteady income, and you've just experienced that.
