    Angry Shitty Management ruining a club

    I have worked at my beloved home club for about 7 months and have finally admitted that I have to look for work elsewhere . My home club was AWESOME until this new manager who ran a sister club downtown (a shittier club mind you) took over and completely rewired the system to be the same as the much shittier club downtown that they send all of the fat chicks and new girls to.

    The old system: Simple. 20$ lap dances on the floor. private dances upstairs 5 songs/100$, half hr for 200$, and an hr for 400.

    The new system: Much more complicated
    10$ air dances on the floor.
    20$ wristband to have vip dance access
    20$ dances in the vip room
    private dances now 5/100, half hr for 200$, and an hour for 350.
    and there is a 20$ discount on each half hour if htey have the stupid vip wristband

    I get having the 10$ airdances and the 20$ lapdances, but the stupid wristband is ruining it. maybe if it was 10$. A fair amount of group of younger folks come into our club, and i used to make a lot of money off of them. in this new system, i no longer make money off of them. they are not the type to each purchase a 20$ band, and they dont want to go in the private dance rooms because they dont want to be separated from their buddies for long. and they dont want to buy as many repeat 10$ air dances.

    Im not the only one who has been hurting. yesterday i heard a girl who is typically a top earner in the club on the phone saying she only made 150. other girls havent been doing as hot either.

    and to top all of this off, our management has been hiring new girls left and right and now there are way more on shift than when i started. when i started working there, an average night would have betweeen 10-15 girls, and weekends would be 15-20. now, its like 20 girls on a tuesday. and last thursday there were 25 girls. our club is small and upscale... it doesnt have enough customers to sustain 25 dancers.

    and another thing, the 10$ air dances which were supposed to be strictly enforced are now turning very quickly into the same contact as the 20$ lap dances. so i give a guy a dnace and make a huge deal about how there is NO CONTACT or i will be FIRED and then he spends the dance staring at the girl next to me who is getting her thighs groped. Then he goes and gets 10$ dances from her. and the door guys spend a lot of time emphasising how there is sooo much more contact in the VIP and upstairs dances... and quite frankly advertising or promising supercontact is not my favorite way to make sales. because i am not comfortable with super heavy contact... now the customers seem to expect the world upstairs. i have never dealt with creeps at my club really until these past 3 weeks, barring a few exceptions.

    meh sorry for the rant but i am really upset. in july during the "slow season" i averaged 400-450$ a night. I had one night in the whole month where i made less than 200$. In the past 2 weeks i have walked out with less than 200$ 3 times. And my average has dipped to slightly less than 300$. Maybe if i came into the club and this was the system it would be bearable, but to have them switch it up on me and see a huge dent in my earnings is really difficult to deal with. Im out finding new places now.

    Thanks for readin. I kinda just needed to vent. maybe you guys have had a similar situation where people in charge damaged a club that you really liked. either way, it sucks.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I had that once... This winter through spring... My old club brought in a different manager for six months after my favorite manager quit.
    He hired a bunch of skeezy girls... and changed out club from one way moderate contact to "anything other than penetration is okay".
    My average went from $800 a night... to $80 a night... the ENTIRE TIME HE WAS HERE. Funny enough... within a week or two of him leaving and policies returned to what they were before... it went right back up.

    Just goes to show these guys are not interested in paying for whoring. The guys who want prostitution know where to go and the guys who want dancing know where to go. That approach just gets the mooching wankers who just want the world for free.

    Re desuvs death: The manager doesnt promote more dirtiness, at least not on the floor, thank god. he actually made a huge deal about air dances on the floor, cut the floor dance prices in half, but since he isnt actually enforcing it it seems now guys are practically getting the same thing for half the price. our club previously had dirty girls and to be honest, management doenst give a fuck what girls do in the private rooms. they try to say they do and say they arent a whore house like the other clubs, but if they really cared they would put cameras up in the private rooms. Another reason why i want out... im tired of doing dances with no cameras. I dont see the manager going away any time soon, maybe the bracelet system will dissappear if enough girls do what im doing and go elsewhere. I dont even think the manager is a bad guy, he is just hardheaded and ignorant. I am hoping he will snap out of it... since he has come in the club has had some DEAD days like ive never seen before... he looked really stressed on one monday when there was like 2 customers in. Im not sure if it was personal stress or "oh fuck my club isnt making any money and i am working with a bunch of pissed off strippers" stress... i hope it was the latter so maybe he will realize that the new system is failing.

    Im sorry you are in the same boat as me, Jayatee. It is rough. I also loved my club but this stupid new system has made it no longer worth it. I swear the club makes max of 100$ in wristband sales a night and my pay is cut by more than 100$ a night. It is fucked up when the profit gained by a new sys for a club is less than the damage it does to a single dancer's income, let alone the entire income cut across the whole lot. that and the sudden addition of new girls is making everything stupid.


    Good luck finding a new club, I hope all works out. I need to decide how to leave my club gracefully so I can come back if i ever feel like it.

    the club i worked at was very similar...wristbands, coupons, constant promos to get guys in free AND discounted dances and even free dances once in a while. wtf! the way I saw it was if you advertise to get the coupon clipping tight fisted haven't opened their wallet in a year type customer through the door THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPEND MONEY WHEN THEY GET IN THE CLUB EITHER.
    I guess the manager thought the money the custie was saving would go towards the dancers or the bar..but a cheapass isn't going to spend money supposedly saved esp when he knew the club was cheap- thats why he came in the first place.
