    Default Dealing with Management and DJ's

    Ok so I've only been stripping for 3 weeks and last week I was off all week due to a hellish sinus infection.

    I go back tomorrow but was thinking about going in for a few hours today b/c I need emergency money to pay my phone bill.

    However, the last night I worked I got in a HUGE fight with a DJ there and management are such assholes about newbies that it makes me nervous to even go in! I do not mind the customers or the other dancers but management makes it so hard to work there if you are new.

    There is a HARD schedule in place. I have to work five days a week Wed through Sun and it's killing me physically and emotionally. I make good money but I end up going in late or calling out b/c I am so sore or just burned out.

    So last time I danced was the day before Halloween and at the end of my eight hour shift I get dressed, speak with the main manager, and walk out. It was crazy slow all night and as I'm tipping out the DJ who is standing outside he says "you're leaving? Get your ass back in there and get dressed, bitch! I don't have enough girls!"

    I just snapped. I am a very nice, open person but I hate being talked to like I'm a dog. I said something along the lines of "Fuck you, I may be a stripper but I'm not YOUR stripper and nobody talks to me like that."

    He backed off but asked me to go back in while he talked to the owner and I refused. I just cannot deal with being talked to like that. I have never worked at a job where I have been cursed at and I will not work at a job where I am talked to like that. All the other girls seem not to care but I will by damned find a day job if this is going to be the norm.

    Also every time I ask for a later shift b/c I am in college and have morning classes I get so much attitude. I've brought in documentation and I just don't know why they make it so hard for girls to work there.

    This is a dive club and they have huge turnover for a reason. Ugh. I'm just so frustrated I wish I could just go in and make money and leave instead of getting yelled at almost EVERY day.

    Any tips on just letting it roll off your back? I seem to have a hard time just letting stuff go and getting over not wanting to go in b/c management is so bitchy.

    Ditto on there is always another club. Find the owner's email and tell them what happened to you and say you are going to another club. I just had a total BS encounter with a manager and emailed my club owner and she is dealing with him. Sometimes the owners just don't know what's going on. But it's better for you to find another club, that schedule seems weird. I'm used to not having one at all, lol
    Yes, I'm real.

    I wish there was another club but I live in a small town and it's the closest to me. I could drive to Atlanta but I don't feel like I'm in the shape yet to work in a big club.

    There's one more bikini club I might check out. I'm going to go in today to see how it goes. My financial situation is horrible right now due to a car accident I had so I HAVE to have steady income.

    I just feel so nervous it makes me physically ill and it's not b/c of customers or strippers, just b/c of the asshole dj's and management.

    I'm taking in a doctor's note which specifies "restricted activity" today so maybe they'll drop a couple days off my shift. My doc knows what I do and said it was horrible for my sinuses to be around so much smoke and perfume so to take it easy. I know management will bitch, though.

    You could take weekend trips to Atlanta and stay in a motel. I know a lot of girls drive hours to work in Dallas so I would imagine it's the same for Atlanta. Also, just because it's a big city doesn't mean all the clubs are big. There's tons of small clubs here. Not that I would work in one... but, yeah...
    Yes, I'm real.

    @Kourtney - that night the manager was awesome and backed me up and gave the DJ shit. The DJ's don't have much power but this particular one is like 18 and a meth addict but his mom is one of the co-owners so he's like untouchable. He's always stealing tips and such too but no one ever calls him out. He hasn't done it to me, obviously, b/c although I'm super nice to management and customers, I don't take shit from anybody. You're right,I mean we PAY them to work there so why do they complain? They should just take my house fee and stfu.

    @goreantx
    I will definitely do that once I get my financial shit together. I'm sure Atlanta has several smaller clubs and it will be busier in general b/c of higher population. I am going to try and work at this club b/c it's convenient for me right now but if I get anymore flak I will be looking elsewhere.

    From what I understand, Atlanta seems to promote all body types. I looked on youtube at some of the clubs and I would be more immediately worried about booty poppin!!! Those chicas got mad skillz! (I think that's the correct nomenclature!)

    I would never return to that club. The job is hard enough without that bs. I recently quit a club bc of asshole management.
