Mind you, this has all happened to me in ONE WEEK, so let's start there. Now, business at my club ahs been slow for whatever reason baseball playoffs, election, boring girls with no clue, take your pick) so FINALY last Friday I have a half decent crowd of guys who are OBVIOUSLY into rock. How do I know??? Because there STANDING ON THERE BAR STOOLS AND THROWING WADS OF MONEY ON STAGE to every girl (all two of them) dancing to rock and IGNORING the others. So I go up to one of the girls who I DID like (until this point) who usually dances to hip-hop, she should do one rock song. What do I get for looking out???
'No, I want RAP.' Even after SHOW her the guys hooting and hollering she says 'fuck them, I want rap!'. WTF?????? So I call her one away and she YELLS 'and none of that rock shit!'. So guess what???? THEY LEAVE, ALL TEN OF THEM. But hell, she got rap, tipped me under the minimum and hasn't been back since, just great. Is the owner mad, you bet. But you know why I can't do anything???? Because the girls will LITTERALY tell me (yes, this is a quote) 'fuck you asshole, play my fuckin music or no tip!'.
And THEN the owner wonders why I don't explain things to them. Say WHAT??? I don't like being talked to that way, so why bother. Is anything said to them when I complain about being cursed at, no, I get 'Why do you let them get to you?'. WHY????? Because I think I deserve a LITTLE respect when I'm trying to help these selfish girls make a living. Here's a friggin hint, play music guys like, guys stay longer, spend more money, drink more, EVERYONE MAKES OUT. I would THINK it was an easy concept to grasp. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I get girls looking at me with the whole 'What-the-fuck-is-this-your-not-getting-tipped' look on there face as a customer is telling me how cool the music is and 'Who is this, where can I get it?'.
NOW, lets flash forward to tonight and YES, this all happened in one evening believe it or not. Oh, where should I start????? Lets start with 'Hey, are we here to make money or be cool and hang out with our friends and cool guys who will nurse there Corona back from the FUCKIN' GRAVE, but wont tip a canoe?' So I got my young thugs in, chillin' just because a titty bar is the new cool place to be (I blame Lil' Kim but hey) and not spending NOTHING. Meanwhile I have a 40 something guy in a suit with 10's and 20's and ones fanned out in front of him like he was on the world series of poker. Does anyone go and talk to him????? HELL NO. He wasn't COOL enough I get. THIS GUY WAS LIKE QUINT DROPPING CHUM IN THE WATER AND NO ONE WOULD BITE. I just sat in the booth and laughed. Oh get this--two girls SAW the money, HE WAS OBVIOUS HE WANTED TO SPEND...but NO...THEY HAD TO GO TO THE DRESSING ROOM TO CALL THERE FRIGGIN BOYFRIENDS. I swore if any girl told me there was no money tonight I was gonna slug them.
Of course he left and I ACTUALY apologized to him; me, THE FUCKIN DJ. And before someone jumps on me asking why I didn't point him out to the girls, I DIDN'T HAVE TO. As he LEFT he made a BIG production of folding up his money as he looked around. He was BEGGING for some attention, but hey, I guess because he was older and in a suit and not a wearing baggy jeans and a gold chain out of a bubble gum machine with a hoodie on his time wasn't worth it.
OH OH OH get me started on HOODIES now. So, tonights bartender is one of our dancers with an 'I'm the best thing since cheese even thou I've been dancing a month' attitude. Fine, I've dealt with that before. But three people come in and one is so OBVIOUSLY under 21 (drinking age in NJ) it's PAINFUL. So I WATCHER her ask them for I.D. And I WATCH no one give it to her, and she SERVES THEM ANYWAY. Sometimes I have to put on the manager hat (as all d.js may do) so I call her to the end of the bar and ask her just THIS nicely 'Hun, did you card those three?' (knowing damn well the answer) and what do I get, JUST for asking???? 'Yeah I fucking carded them, why don't you just do your job, last time I checked I was the fuckin bartender and you're just the fuckin dj so leave me alone or go card them yourself asshole'. Once again, WTF??????? I'm sorry if you want to be the 'cool' bartender but I know the signs of someone under age after 11 years in this biz. And frankly we could loose our liquor license if they were even caught INSIDE the bar, let alone drinking. So I call the owner over (after telling him what a bitch said bartender was) and guess what???? You got it, NO I.D.! I tried my best to not look surprised but was too busy laughing. So after putting EVERYONES job in jeopardy, LYING about carding them, and catching an attitude with me for just ASKING her, she gets REWARDED by the other owner letting her do a couch dance. Not to sound redundant but...WTF??????? So, you put the entire welfare of everyone in jeopardy and you get REWARDED?????
And then.THEN, someone shows up two and a half hours LATE to there shift and then gets to stiff me on there tip...oh trust me the house got THERE end, but not I. Now this is being walked out on earlier in the night by a girl so, let's just say I won't even post what I made cause IM ASHAMED OF HOW LOW IT IS. And its funny, I have all of 2 girls right now who listen to me, let me do my job, and they make money. I throw them a curve on stage and they know I'm doing it to make them money. Example: Thursday night, hip-hop galore. A customer comes up to me and says 'What, you don't know anything about rock (to look at me you would know how dumb a question that is, ask Worthington, Tori, or MrChristopher)? SO I pull one of my 'I trust you' girls who likes the reggae over and I say 'trust me'. She nods, winks, I rock her and guess what?...VIP room baby. I just want to make the girls, the club, and myself money!...why won't anyone let me??...end rant.for now.
