I've been wanting to for quite a while now, but since I am graduating (AA) in two weeks and will only be 20 hours from my BA, I finally gave management the ultimatum:
I cocktail, or I quit.
Summer is approaching and the number of girls is dropping and, since I've been at my club so long, the GM wasn't thrilled about losing me as a dancer. But, I made it clear it would happen anyway. I just can't do it anymore.
I got the call on my way home from my dayshift manager telling me that our general manager said all is go and I have the job. So, in two more weeks (ish) I will no longer be dancing. I will be the (only) dayshift cocktail waitress.
I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders, as cliche as that is. I think I will make a better cocktail waitress now anyway. I'm good with customers because of my wit/sarcasm/humor, but that has stopped shining through do to the pressure of needing dances and the general hatred of doing lap dances anymore.
Has anyone else transitioned from dancer to cocktail waitress? I know it's typically the other way around.
I will only miss two things about not stripping anymore:
-the ability to randomly take a day off whenever I feel like it
and
-the stage
