    Default Last week=shit

    Summer is winding down (thank god) but lately it's been showing more than ever. I'm so stressed and frustrated with the amount of cheap customers, it's making me want to throw chairs


    Anyone else feeling the August pinch?

    Is there generally an August pinch ? Cause yeah .... I'm feeling it big time and didn't realize Aug. was like that. My last few shifts fall in the " eh ... it's money ... but not great at all " category.

    Yes. $6.15 an hour was my average last week. (28 hours)

    I just couldn't handle going back in this weekend. A million out of state girls making it worse than I have ever seen. Most did not even make their house fee back.

    Yep, pretty shitty for me too lately. It really is hard to get motivated to go in after slow nights.

    I had a good $750 Saturday a couple weeks ago... But totally average on other shifts.
    Really the last few ( if I could only know in advance what ID come home with !)...I wouldn't even have driven out for. When I factor in driving time... I made less hourly than bartending with my clothes ON .

    Down here it's so bad that I'm not going in at all, even though I am running dangerously low on money. It has not been worth it at all lately and super emotionally draining.. Like I am working to make the house fee back plus some change.

    So is aug traditionally bad ? I've only worked sporadically in 08/09. 2010 is the only year I've worked enough to see ups/ downs with different times.

    august was bad last year, but i don't know about before that. *shrug*

    it's been fairly consistent (consistently mediocre... :/ ) for me. i'm not very diciplined and therefore have to make myself stick to a schedule, but the 4 days in a row i normally work, i've been doing the same amount almost every night.

    what really gets me is the girls who don't understand that august is bad everywhere, and decide to come to my club because the money is supposed to be better. >.< GUESS WHAT! IT'S NO BETTER HERE THAN IT IS AT YOUR CLUB! GO HOME! and then also the girls who only work 1-2 days a week, and complain that now they have to be in there 4 nights a week to make the same money. oh boo hoo. stop crying about how you can't pay your rent. you should have saved money at the beginning of the month instead of blowing it on stupid shit.

    /rant

    idk. august makes me annoyed. i'm ready for the winter.

    Yes!!! Last Friday, I went home with $2. I am actually thinking about switching, but it probablu won't be much better. Are you in Dallas too? It's awful over here. I didn't know that August is known for being bad. It is discouraging for me also. I can barely make myself go in. It seems hopeless. When I leave with that little, I feel like I should've stayed home. All we do is sit around anyway. Hardly any men are coming in and the ones that do just want to "relax and have a beer". Jesus Christ why don't they go to a regular bar or do that shit at home?

    I am also sick of the club organizing these lame events at a poor attempt to get customers in. The few who do show up are only there for that and not for us. I guess the club doesn't give a rat's ass as long as they're still getting food and alcohol sales.

    We got lucky in Cocoa Beach the week before last with a British Royal Navy ship (horny sailers=happy bank account for me) but ever since it's been like pulling teeth. I was kind of expecting August to suck and have picked up camming (it makes sense, I just throw on a wig, touch up my makeup, and hop on cam when I get home from the club, I'm always up all night anyways and I've been wanting to cam for a while now) to make up the slack but it's even worse in the club than last year. I'm still paying my bills but... I'm a stripper because I like lots of money, not just to pay my bills.

    I'm actually going to try out an Orlando club tonight with my friend, even though I swore up and down last year that I would never work in one again because they are notorious for not being good to make money in, just to money on gas and time. I drive an hour to and an hour from my Cocoa Beach club so working here will save me two hours four to five days a week and allow me to cam more.

    I don't intend to stop dancing but golly, do I ever miss spring break, and golly, I hope it gets cold early this year, because that's when we start getting really busy.

    Well .......... I'm totally excited it's just not me. I used to do really well ( I mean ... well enough for me anyway ) and the last few weeks have been really mediocre. So .... when does it traditionally pick back up ? I'm trying a new club today and I'm hoping it's alright.

    I think since the recent heatwave finally started to subside a bit, people are trying to get some last minute outdoor time in before summer ends. The past several weeks were just far too hot to do anything!

    I feel better that I'm not the only one stressed and struggling. What kills me is how much the club is profiting. Before I never complained about the house fees because it seemed so minuscule compared to the amount of money I was making, but now with lower and lower profits the club fees seem enormous. Many nights its a 50/50 split or worse 80/20, wtf.

    That's how I feel too. Lately, I was making 50/50 or worse house and take home and just decided I will not work for that. Plus, for some reason I felt very degraded for the first time, because I cannot put up with nasty behavior for no pay.

    Here's Las Vegas - 3 guys come into the club and 30 girls start running to get to them. How can I make $ when so many girls are acting so desperate? Like the guys aren't going to notice! We have 10 strippers to-1 custy out here even on the weekdays. It's unbelievable.
    In the past when things were bad I could just stay till 6 in the morning and wait for the herd of girls to give up. That's not happening anymore because they aren't making their house back. I sold my first dance last nite at 2:30 am. That has never happened before. Usually I can sell at least one dance by 1am even on the worst nights.
    I have to drink now just to have the patience. I usually only drink if I can make at least 500 off of one guy.

    I may have spoken too soon. The week is starting to redeem itself. If I do good today, it'll be totally redeemed.

    It's 11pm on a Saturday night and there are 2 guys here...and waaay more bouncers and dancers than customers. The girls and the bouncers are just standing around doing nothing but annoying me. Ugh.

    I won't even work weekends in Vegas anymore. I just can't understand why we have so many girls coming here from out of town. The weekdays out here are bad enough but the weekends are ridiculous.
    Don't strippers watch the news? We have the worst unemployment in the country yet we have out of state girls coming here in droves. I don't understand. If I go looking for a job I would never go to the place with the highest unemployment in the country. It makes no sense.
    I think that we should charge 2 times as much for anyone from another state for a business license and sheriffs card. I also think that the clubs should do the same for house fees for anyone who comes here from another state. If you are not a resident of Nevada, and you are making an impossible situation even worse for the residents who live here, you should pay the price.
