    Dizzy Tip outs??

    So I got hired at the club I really wanted to work at! ... only for DAY shifts for the time being. BUT this is fine with me, the hours work with my schedule, the club is REALLY clean, very nice, great support staff etc. and I'm totally down if it means eventually switching to night shifts.

    BUT...

    I'm making an average of $150 a shift, I mean it's day shift, what can one expect, but I'm needing to step up my hustle, and definately STOP wasting my time with custies who don't seem to intend to close... this AM I DID get "step by step stripping" through dancerwealth and it totally gave me pointers that helped me make at least SOMETHING on what would have been a nothing day for me, so YAY! and after next shift definately the entire DW program is on my list.... but anyways I still see other girls close custie after custie!!! RAWR!

    all this to only really say:
    at my club it's customary (sp?) to tip the DJ and the house mom... but I'm still trying to figure out what is a "good" tip- because I don't want to be the cheesy new girl who tips poorly... I don't really want to ask the other dancers at work but am shooting in the dark, really...

    so would 10% each be appropriate? more? what would you girls suggest?

    I tip out the DJ 10% of what I earn - if I've had a really shit night ($100 or less - its rare, but it happens, especially this time of year!) I tell him I've had a shit night, and he doesn't take anything. For the house mom, I would say that 10% is also good...but I don't have one at my place, so I'm not so sure on that!

    If you can afford - it is always better to over tip than under tip...esp at the beginning, so if your 10% works out to be 18, make it 20. Always round up!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Is there a manager you can ask about the standard/expected tip out to the DJ and house mom?

    Don't be too discouraged about girls closing more customers than you during day shift, as a great many of them are likely regulars. If you keep to a regular schedule and work at it, you'll cultivate your own regulars in due time as well. Also, I find that in day shifts, sometimes you have to sit a little big longer than usual to make a sale. That being said, if you feel like someone is taking advantage of that, try and get them to go for a dance right away - don't let customers skirt around the question or lead the conversation.

    I have to confess sometimes I'm a sort of cheap tipper. I'm not proud of it, but those people get hourly wages, and we don't. In fact, I know a lot of times the bouncer walks out of the club with WAY more money than any of the girls because he has received decent tips from 15-20 girls. If I walk out of the club with less than 100 bucks, I will try to force myself to tip, but it's sometimes only a couple bucks. The nice cats deny my money and tell me to take care of them on a better night.

    Also I come from the belief that it heavily depends on how a person treats you. Some of the DJ's I've come in contact with have gone out of their way to play particular music I liked, played good sets for me, matched my music favorites to the vibe of the crowd, and would actually go home and download music I asked for. I always tip them well because they take care of me. However, if someone (whether bouncer, manager, DJ) is sort of lackluster, doesn't seem to like me, or doesn't cater to my needs, I'm a shitty tipper. You get what you give. It's up to you!

    I don't ever tip more than that at the end of the night because each champagne room I do, $5 of it goes to the DJ anyway and $80 goes to the House. Ontop of my other initial house fees.

    So I'm already giving away enough of my fucking money.
    Lol....I know - I hate giving away my money!!

    The one thing I'll add to what I said already is that it DOES depend on your tip out/comission structure in the club. One club I worked out had a standard to tip the DJ $1 (well, a pound, if you want to be picky!) and the housemom only if you did really well - most girls didn't tip her unless the broke $500. The comission at that club was a $120 house fee and a 16% comission on top of that (even on cash sales). So I didn't feel too guilty keeping the money. My current club has no comission, and house fee is pretty low, so I feel like its better to tip higher, as that is all the DJ gets.

    It also (to some extent) depends on how much work your house mom or DJ does....the best DJs have let me skip stage shows to close on a big customer, and my current DJ (who is AWESOME!) plays songs to cheer me up, helps fix stuff in the dressing room, bought me a locker when some stuff went missing, covers for me if I'm late, and has even lent me money once when I didn't have cash on me. He gets extra money, because he EARNS it...

    I agree. I never tipped people who were rude to me. I also never tipped people unless they were nice helping me hustle, or because we had to. Even the ones we had to I tipped the minimum unless they went out of their way then I tipped them a lot.

    @ shanna dior^^^

    look up "dancerwealth"! I found out about it through SW and it's TOTALLY upped my sales game... everything from how to "read" a custie before you ever approach and what to say when you get there... I'm not kidding, I tried the methods suggested and made $$$ off of guys I wouldn't have known how to handle...

    also, I think britneyireland or kylea2 could send you in the right direction, but if you google dancerwealth that may work...

    on another note about tipping out...

    tipping out a little extra goes a long way.
    i am always welcomed back!
    some of the staff has moved up in the chain of management and remember me treating well.

    i get extra consideration/ flexibility and they are always happy to be working with me in their club because they know i will take care of their workers.

    actually being able to tip out a high amount- and keeping that up had been a real motivational factor for me when dancing and i believe helped me to become one of the best.

    just a little bit more than the average girl will make you stand out
    and its worked for me.
