    Angry Drama with bouncer/thief - advice?

    Bear with me as I give the background of this situation.

    - I'm a day shifter.
    - The breakdown for VIP rooms in the daytime is as follows:
    Between noon and 4, $100 (70 for the girl, 30 for the house)
    After 4, $170 (90 for the girl)

    My regular came in around noon and wanted to do the VIP. When we went to pay the bouncer (a retired cop who carries a glock with him on the job), he told us the rules had changed, and now it was $170 at all hours. (This was fine at the time, because my customer has plenty of money and tips me really well, but still disappointing nonetheless.) So we went back there, did our thing. A few hours later, after that guy had left, the bouncer comes back to me and says we need to talk. He told me "I was wrong, it IS $100." I was like, "oh, so what happens with that extra $70 my customer paid?" He was like "I don't know, the management is gonna keep it, but when you pick up your share at the end of your shift make sure you don't mention to them that the guy actually paid $170." Which basically means "I pocketed the extra $70 this guy paid and I don't want you to tell the managers." WTF?! This bouncer is basically overcharging MY customers and then pocketing the balance, and then telling me not to tell the house? I was fuming over this with my coworker friend, who had the ovaries to confront him on this, and he basically ended up getting cornered enough to say "maybe I did end up keeping it, not really sure, here's $30 for you." Which still means he pocketed $40 of what he overcharged my customer! Argh! I hate getting involved in drama at work (I don't mess with anyone who's trouble), but it's kind of important to a) have a good relationship with the bouncer and b) not have the bouncer ripping off you and your customers.

    I would go to management with this issue. You don't want to take the chance of losing VIP time with your custy over this jack ass's immorality issues. Maybe talk to them about putting up a sign with the prices on the door to VIP or something that way the bouncer isn't able to get away with it again.

    HOw good of a customer was it? I would probably tell him and let him go to the manager but I'm not really sure of the dynamics of your club and wheter or not that would be a good idea.

    I agree, go to your GM since he/she is the person who can likely do the most about the situation. If that's not possible go to whichever shift manager (if you have a choice) you get a long with best. I would do this -before- telling your customer about it. If your management is fair and smart they will deal with the bouncer and then talk to your customer themselves next time he comes in. They may even offer him a discount on his next room (taken out of the HOUSE not YOUR pocket). When you talk to them about it, my best advice is to be as non-emotional about it as possible. Explain your concerns without sounding over accusatory. Make sure you emphasize how valued your customer is to you (and thusly the club) and how bad this looks to him (esp if he gets charged a diff price by a diff bouncer next time).

    One time at my club a customer paid on credit card for 3 girls to do VIP with him and his female friend (one of the dancers being myself). He also put 100 dollar tip for EACH girl on the card (which is allowed at my club.. tipping on the card). Well, the customer didn't tell us about the 100 dollar tips because he figured the club would give them to us. After we were paid our normal room fees and the customer and his friend went back out to the main floor.. she (the female friend, not a GF..that I know of) asked us if we got our tip. None of us did. The bouncer would later explain he thought it was a tip for him.

    ok, right. the customer tipped you THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS just for ringing him up. Chances are he was just hoping we would never find out we were tipped in the first place. I was pretty miffed. That sort of thing happens all the time at clubs, you have to be careful and mindful.

    Wow! I got angry just reading this and it didn't even happen to ME! lol

    I can tell you right now if it were me I would have been like, "Fuck that! That's mine. You can go earn your own money and until you do stay away from mine." I would definitely say something, because who knows? He might try and pull this stunt again with some other girl.

    I'd defintely tell the manager. The fact that the bouncer didn't want you to mention it clearly shows he was trying to cover his own ass just so he could continue stealing.

    This guy will not quit. (He is tight with management so complaining about him is not an option...) Last week he was telling me that if a new customer wants a lapdance, tell them they are $30 instead of $20, and give the ten to him (or split it with me 5/5). I was like, you have got to be kidding me! I am not trying to rip anyone off! And if customers want to tip me or the bouncer, that's always cool. He was totally serious, so I passive-aggressively/sarcastically acted like he was joking. Then he tried charging my customers double again for VIP. I was having an awesome day and he saw how much money I was making. He went up to my friend/coworker and was like "See how much money she's making?" and started cursing and complaining about me. He told her I hadn't even given him a cut from my earnings yet. I have no problem tipping people who work at the club, but this guy doesn't even supervise lapdances! I have been groped/kissed/grabbed many a time on his watch. Whatever, I slipped him a $20 at the end of my shift because my coworker warned that he was really upset and definitely in a position to cause trouble for me. And that being prideful/principled is not ok at a SC, where covering your own ass is most important.

    i had a bouncer/floor guy take a tip like what happened to pretty penny, but since it was only 20$ i let it slide and just didnt tip him on my way out like i normally do.

    another girl had something similar happen like this at my club. She told him right to his face, no, its actually 100 dollars less. If you do this, the customer wont hate you because you are being honest with him and it will make the floor guy look bad. if he keeps trying it, i imagine the customers themselves will complain to management.... once the customers start complaining then they might want to get rid of him.

    If you are in the mood to 'rip people off', you can come to an agreement with hte bouncer that you charge 170, and each pocket the 50$. How long is this vip for? If its for a half hour, I would honestly consider doing that... 170 for a half hour is not a rip off by any stretch even if its more than is usually charged. My club charges 200 a half hour, which i think is reasonable. I personally think 100 a half hour wiht 70 in your pocket is exceptionally low. If its for 15 min though, then you might want to stick to the club pricing.

    Note... be careful about overcharging. It could give you a bad name. If you make it out to be that is your price as opposed to lying and saying its the club price then you should be ok. Sometimes I charge more for private rooms saying that it is my price.... but i never say its the standard rate.

    And on your way out, i would have told management. if you did it like that it would have made him look bad, especially if you included the fact that he told you not to tell them. That or you could have gone up to them and innocently asked when the VIP prices changed... and then be like 'oh, such and such said that it went up and charged 170..'

    Maybe he will be appeased if you ask the customer in front of him to tip him extra. However, it doesnt sound like it. He sounds like a greedy fuck.

    Since this guy is repeatedly trying to take advantage of the customers and screw the club out of money, do not pass go, do not collect $200, GO TO THE GM. I like how Athena suggested phrasing it.

    If you tell your customer, make sure that he knows YOU were not involved with it, and that he really should go to management about it as well.

    Clubs hate it when you screw them over, it doesn't matter if you're a dancer, bouncer, or customer.
