    Default Tipping the Champagne Host/Hostess

    So I'm wondering how much yall tip the champagne host and hostesses. I always tip if the customer is a cheapskate, however my question isn't about that. I did 6 hours on Friday and before tipping out $300 to the DJ, management and bouncers (combined. Another girl was with me that tipped out the same amount as well) I made $2500 off of champagne. They made over $1400 from 5 of the hours and a little over $150 from one hour. They didn't introduce me to these people, I found them on my own. They also get an hourly rate and commission on the bottles. Would you guys have tipped them more?

    I'm asking because they're pretty much ignoring me since then and I kind of think it's crap, because whether it comes out of my pocket or not, I made them a ton of money. I may be wrong though and if I am I want to know.

    HELL NO! I wouldn't have tipped them at all if they didn't take me to the table or help me get paid! But, there's different etiquette at different clubs.

    So your customer tipped the host $1550, you made $2500, and you think you should've tipped more?? NO.

    idk that sounds fine to me but i always fuck up host tipping too. i get a room at least once a week for 2yrs now and i still can't figure it out. some nights i over tip and i'm like "fuck where'd my money go?" and some nights i undertip and i'm all worried that they're gonna be mad at me. its a big pain in the ass. perhaps if they're acting snotty to you now you should ask them if you didn't tip enough or something?

    If it's Sapphire LV, they will expect a minimum of 20% out of your own pocket regardless of how much the custie tips them.

    It's absolutely ridiculous and especially in your case they have no right to feel that way.

    It depends on your club... I tip everyone a dollar a dance, so if I did a VIP for an hour that would be 30 dances, so 30 dollars to each bouncer, the DJ, manager, and waitress. If someone helped me out I would tip them extra (maybe 2 dollars a dance).

    However, if I found an awesome customer on my own I don't tip anyone more, that was on me not them, I just tip them the same as always.

    I agree with JD. When I was working at a club that had a greedy DJ, mgr. and bouncers, I learned my lesson quickly after the first time I was talked into tipping out more than necessary after spending time in the champagne room with a customer I found completely on my own. The only time I'm willing to tip bouncers is when they've helped me to make my money. Other wise anytime I have a great night, the money is all mine!

    Thanks guys. I feel much better about this now. I didn't want to ask them because of course they're going to say they need a tip. Just wanted to make sure what everyone else is doing.

    I think if they got you the customer sure. Or if they were encouraging the customer to spend more.

    My question is why do they get a cut of the bottle? Are there different varieties to up sell? Or is it a steward fee?
