-Girls are required to be on the floor at all times to "entertain" the customers. This means that, even if there's plainly nobody in the club who's interested in in talking to you, even if there's only three customers, even if everybody has already rejected you, you still have to sit and make conversation with a customer even though both of you would rather be doing something else. Breaking this rule (or any of the other 5 million rules there) can get you fined.
-There is literally NO WAY to hustle at this club, the way things work there is really strange. You basically have to sit there and stroke guys egos until they ask you-or don't ask you-for a dance or VIP and any kind of pressure or hustle, no matter how low key, really turns them off. It doesn't make any sense and makes me want to pull my hair out. It is also the kind of place where you have to take the time to build up clientele (and it can take a long time from what they tell me) before you can make the big bucks and I don't know if I have the patience.
-Even though I go out of my way to have toned-down pinup look, customers keep telling me I'm "intimidating" or "scary-looking". Last night I even talked to a former bouncer who was there as a customer and he told me I would have trouble there because of my appearance. This, despite the fact that other girls walk around in dominatrix/bondage costumes and make money. I know I shouldn't let this get to me but it really does, last night I was actually in the dressing room in tears. I'm also starting to get a handle on who the high earners are and they all have a very submissive personality and appearance. (I'm bigger/taller than almost every girl at this club btw, and I'm only 5'6") I'm thinking I just might not have what it takes to make money here and should go somewhere where my look and personality are appreciated.
-This club has strict shift requirements. I am a full time student and was told during the week that management would likely let me work around my class schedule. This was not true. They want me to come in three times a week including 2 weekdays when I have classes all day from 9 AM. It also takes me over an hour to get to this club because I have to fight inner-city traffic. This pisses me the fuck off.
-You can't leave early at this club. They don't let anybody leave until 30 minutes after closing when they have cleared all the customers out of the parking lot. I understand the thinking behind this rule, but I still don't like it. I'm an independent contractor and I should be able to leave whenever the fuck I want as long as my house fees are paid. Especially since I have such a long commute back.
Erg. I dunno, I had really high hopes for this club but I'm starting to think I don't belong there. I have to go get ready soon because I'm working a double (which I guess means I will spend a lot of time talking to broke Saturday afternoon regulars for free) and the thought of being in there all day and night is making me want to cry *again*. The main reason I wanted to work at this club so much is because it is one-way contact and I was getting burned out at a high two-way contact club previously, but now I'm thinking I should just find another place in the city and work as a no/low touch girl there.
