    Default Tipping CR hosts

    I know there are a couple of threads on whether or not you should tip them, but i want to know how much you guys would tip in my particular situation.

    Last night at work i found a closet sub who after one lapdance completely turned into my bitch. Well of course he wanted a CR, so i took him on the free tour-- at this club CR host shows the rooms and explains the prices. Well they were packed so one of the managers actually did the tour, and the first room he showed was their most expensive, which he immiately decided to take.

    The room is roughly 8,400... its some specific number that i cant remember actually. I only get half of it of course, because the company likes to take as much of our money as possible.

    The customer tipped the host 200$.

    All of the money that i made off of this room is on hold for a month... I made almost another grand off of a different customer, but my friday night was kind of rotten so I wanted to have most of the money i could take home with me on hand.

    I think all in all I tipped 80$.... turns out tips among hospitality get divvied up at the end.

    So how much would you think is appropriate. Should I go back in tomorrow and tip the manager more and say it was because i didnt go home with much money due to it being on hold? I dont like just handing out money to people who nothing, but since at DV the staff conducts the tour, he was a factor-- although the fact that the customer was at this point completely 100% my bitch was a much bigger factor-- after this room he tried to buy another 2,000$ room but couldnt get hold of his bank .

    But, I dont want anyone conducting the tours to make it hard for me to make more money in the future.

    So, what would you guys do? I need some outside input... I am still new to the whole concept of the staff conducting the tour/ being required to help us with sales. And this is the first time i have sold a room that was for this ridiculous amount of money (albeit on hold). So at my old clubs i would just tip them 5 or 10 here or there, and if i felt they helped i would tip maybe 20... or 50 if they helped a lot-- but these were for rooms that were like 400$ and hour... not several thousand.

    So yea, kinda trying to figure out the appropriate etiquette here.

    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.

    You have a room that costs $8400???? What do you do in there? Does it last all night?? I'm intrigued!

    seriously...$8400 american dollars? Where the hell do you work? How long were you in there?

    as for the next part, what exactly did the manager do? Did he actually help sell, or did he just say "here is the first room?". And did you tip him $80 directly?

    well its a 2 hour room... its the top room, and its not sold often (only a few times a month from what i understand). i have never sold one before last night. It is also typically a room that lasts 2 hrs and includes 2 girls... but i did it as a one girl room so i didnt have to split what i made with another girl...only with the club.

    what did i do in there? Well he was a closet sub... i ended up using my booty shorts to tie him up and whipped him with his belt. turns out he discovered last night that he liked being dominated. A lot.

    The manager brought us back there... explained that hte champagne that came with the room was one of only 12,000 in the world... and that the room was the best. that was all it took for the customer to say ill take it.

    I tipped one of the hosts who helped with the transaction and popped the bottle 40, and i tipped the manager who ran the tour 40. I would have been more inclined to tip more, but a. All the money i made off of this particular room i wont see for a month... so i didnt have it on hand; if i tipped a lot it would have resulted in being a signifcant percentage of the cash i actually did take home last night. and b. the club takes a ridiculous cut of the rooms-- it seems to me like the managers have to be earning something off of the expensive rooms.

    i had smthg like this happen in vegas, where the $$$$ was also significant and on hold for 90 days. I tipped the host when i got it in 3 months, A, cause i was scurred that they'd remember and screw with me from then on if i didn't, and B for future social capital purposes. i guess you could tell your mgr that you'll hook him up when u get it - it builds good will - tip him like $200, - thats how much i tipped the vegas host. u want a reputation with your hosts and mgrs as a "team player" (i hate that- there's no "team" in "stripper", but thats just the way it is)
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I would tip the manager additional monies when you get them, but tip him based on what you think he should get.

    I am greedy, though...I feel like, "It's MY money bitch...I did the work and earned it". hahaha...but seriously, if you help out the manager, he'll be more likely to help you out in the future. And if he doesn't, don't tip him well next time.

    I'd also recommend that, when you tip him, make it obvious you're tipping him b/c he helped sell you the room. Make sure it doesn't come across like an assumed tip. I'd say something like, "Here, this is for ____. Thank you SO much for helping me sell the room!"

    It is customary to tip staff that helps you 20-30% it keeps you in good spirits with them and makes sure they help you in bad and good situations with clients. You want the VIP host and especially CR hosts and management to know that you mean business!! Wait until you receive ALL your money and then tip the guys who helped you the most. You want to thank them and this is a nice way to do it. " Hey thanks for the help with that nice client and the help with my sale of the CR room here is 20% of what he gave me ENJOY and make sure to always send the best leads to me and I will ALWAYS take care of you!"

    Congrats hun, and keep up the good work!

    eep... that would be an 800$ tip. considering the club already took out slightly over half of what i made on the room... i feel like an 800$ tip is a bit much...

    i did find the client myself. He was downstairs, i found him and quickly sold him a dance and made him my bitch. If they hooked me up with him,... that woulda been a separate matter.

    i would tip ten percent. that's my standard, esp cause he didn't bag your customer, and you couldn't show the customer the room yourself. :/ tip him and make sure to tell him this is for x, i would have given it to you yesterday but all the $ i made was on a credit card... i'm sure he will understand, and i'm sure it happens all the time.

    Okay in that case 10% of the total sale is customary but do the same line I told you about so that they know who you are, that you will hook them up when they do the same for you, and you stay on the good side of things!

    yeah, only the bloodsuckers in vegas expect 20+ %, the rest of the country is a lot more reasonable

    I'd tell them you are going to tip out in 90 days when you get your share of the money. There's no reason for you to be tipping out of pocket! Besides, what happens if the guy tries to cancel the charge, and then you've already paid out your tip and have no money for the time in the room? That wouldn't seem fair. If the club makes you wait, then everyone else can wait for their share too. Just be sure to keep track of who helped you out.

    Yea, yesterday I had another awesome night, but not so crazy awesome that they had to put the money on hold-- i tipped out appropriately for what i made last night, and casually mentioned that i felt guilty for being stingy before, but i was just waiting until I was actually able to get my money.

    nobody seemed too upset, surprised, or concerned. And they were as helpful yesterday as the day before. So I guess there was no harm done . I was just really worried that the employees were going to get together after divvying up the Sat night and be like "fuck that bitch ___. She made a lot and barely helped us, we will make her life difficult from here on out." But i didnt get that vibe at all, phew. I will take your guys advice and help out when i actually get the money.

    I totally agree with this hun! My rule is ( and I dance in Vegas) when you find me a VIP client you get 20% when I find him myself you get 10%

    My club's standard is the same as what XAnastasiaX said: 10% of what you made if you find the customer, 20% if the host pulls you to put you in the room. It's not even like the unspoken rule, just about anybody in the club will tell you that's what you need to do.

    I'm almost positive the managers in DV clubs make commission off the rooms you sell, or get some kind of brownie points to benefit from. So if I were you I wouldn't go crazy with the tipping, esp because you found the guy and he was dead set on buying a nice room anyway. Def give them something though so they don't have a reason to bitch.

    I just think it sucks for you to be expected to tip out all that money when half the money went straight to the company anyway! And if you filled out a 1099 for the club you'll see even less of that money. Grrrr Deja Vu makes me mad. The club I worked at took 40% and the dancer kept 60%, but then if you factor in paying taxes at the end of the year, you're really only keeping about 40% of the dance money you pull in. Pretty messed up.

    ^ Yea im assuming that they get something out of it, otherwise they would have no reason to be excited or really give a fuck what rooms are sold, beyond the fact that it would make them look good. Plus its deja vu and they like to have their stupid corporate reward points for things.

    at this club they keep roughly 50% on the rooms.... and more when you factor in the amount they take out of 'beaver bucks' . They dont take as much out of the dances though fortunately. It sucks, but i really cant complain considering i made a ridiculous ridiculous amount of money there this weekend, especially on the particular day mentioned in this post.
