    Default nice club, not the best area...

    How do you differentiate between a "safe club" with good security/ management and an unsafe club? I was just reading the "rape thread" It's awful what those women went through. I'm going to do my best to make sure that is not me.


    * I recently checked out a club that seemed to have good management/ decent girls. It's known for being a no extras kind of club. I'd like to work there however it's not located in the best area. I'm very careful but I grew up in a fairly safe/ small town. I'm not accustomed to crime ridden areas.

    Is it possible to have a positive experience at a club that isn't located in a good location? Can anyone share any experience? Good or bad? Thanks.

    IMO, there are very few areas which I would consider very comfortably safe after a certain point in the night. If you're looking at other clubs for comparison, keep in mind that at 3 am ANYWHERE you should be overly cautious about your safety.

    It's funny. I mean, I've done pretty extensive research and so far the best club seems to be located in this bad part of town! I suppose the only way I'll know is if I go ahead and audition.

    Good luck. May your experience continue to be a positive one.

    you can work in the most dangerous neighborhood and be perfectly safe if you take the right precautions, but money is NEVER worth risking your safety. if you feel scared at any club, try a different one. there are TONS of clubs and sometimes driving out to another town can be worth it.

    anyway, here's what I did when I worked in a dangerous area (and still do even though the club I work at now is in a nicer place. you can never be too careful)

    1. Park your car in a well-lit area. Park your car as close to the street and as close to the club as possible. you'll be less likely to be robbed if you're closer to the street because you're more likely to be seen by a passerby and if you're close to the club, you won't have to walk across a parking lot between cars and reducing your visibility. if you're working a night shift get there EARLY to get a good parking spot. it's WORTH it. the best way to avoid being robbed or kidnapped is to be SEEN.

    2. the bouncers SHOULD walk you to your car when you ask them. it's their job. tip them 5-10 bucks and they'll appreciate it and be willing to help you in the future. be friendly to your bouncers. it's also a good idea to go to your car in groups with the other girls. even if you're not getting in the same car, get another one or two girls to come with you when it's time to leave and bring a bouncer.

    3. you can buy a stun gun for like 30 bucks. you can get a personal alarm ( a keychain that makes a REALLY loud beeping noise when you pull a pin) for 10 bucks as well. I'd recommend getting both if it's a really dicey neighborhood. thieves target strippers leaving work.

    I always clip the personal alarm to my pants, not my car keys, to avoid risking dropping it. practice using your alarm. some have a pin that you pull and some just have a button, know how to use yours.

    my stun gun looks like a cell phone so I just have it in my hand when I'm walking to my car with my finger on the button.

    4. I put enough money in my pocket to pay the bouncer. I put the rest of my money in an empty coin purse. I've never been in a situation where I've had to hand over my money to a thief, but like I said, money is worth risking your safety, so I would rather have it ready to hand over to him without having to lose my ID and credit cards.

    5. let SOMEONE know where you are. let a parent or a friend know what club, what nights, and what hours you're working. if you don't feel comfortable telling anybody, leave the club an emergency contact number.

    unfortunately a lot of the bigger cities with the bigger clubs are the best money, but the most dangerous. be careful and you'll be fine. I honestly think my #1 and #2 tips are the most important tips. people are less likely to commit a crime that they don't think they'll get away with. the more eyes you have on you, the safer you'll be. you don't see people getting robbed on busy street corners often so bear that in mind.

    I live in Sydney which is a relatively very safe city if you compare it to other places. That being said I have worked in the Cross which is one of the more dangerous areas. A guy got his throat slit in a fast food place literally right below the club I worked at and if anyone is going to be shot in this city it will probably happen in the Cross. That being said, I never felt unsafe because the crime is mainly gang/drug related. Its not like they are walking around messing with civilians. I just went straight to my taxi and kept my money in my pants instead of in my bag. I also rang my husband as soon as I was leaving and again in the taxi so he would know to expect me home soon.

    A lot of clubs are located in more crime ridden areas, because there are ordinances that keep them out of the better neighborhoods. I was always just very careful leaving work, usually had a bouncer walk me out or had my husband pick me up and come in to get me. Don't ever wait outside for a cab or try to walk home in a bad area. Also, always carry pepper spray or a stun gun.

    If I do work there I'll def look into purchasing a stun gun and learning how to use it. I'll also leave an emergency contact at the club. The empty coin purse idea is great as well. Thanks girls.

    If you work at a club where you're allowed to walk to your car alone... you need to find a new club. If you work at a club where you're allowed to leave with someone who has been inside as a customer that night.. you need a new club.
    I've never worked anywhere that you weren't walked to your car whether you paid the bouncer or not. Of course... the bouncer is a lot likely to be more concerned with your safety for $10-20 a night than when you've never paid him a dime... but you should be walked to your car regardless.
    Likewise... I've never worked at a club where you were allowed to leave with customers. Even if it's your roommate, your bff, whatever... if they were inside as a customer... you're not leaving with them.


    A little common sense goes a long way. Don't stop at the gas station around the corner from the club... ect.
