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.
