Forgive me, but I've only worked at one club, and this:
http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=150805 is our main DJ. My djs dont play shitty music because they're getting back at me for not tipping (even though I do tip every time I make over $100,sometimes when I just make over $50), they play it because they only listen to Top 40 and dont know any rock. No joke, I requested "white wedding" and he asks the who the artist.
I have a day time DJ who is very on his shit and knows SO much music and if he were working nights I would be tipping him $20+ but he works days and days are very lax, and he usually runs out before I can tip him. So I guess I do know what a good Dj is like but unfortunately when it counts, I don't have one. However I never give my djs any shit and I always tip so I'm not a problem dancer. I am very professional.
And our djs do not buy new music or use any of their own equipment so my $$ argument holds at least at my club.
I also believe our djs have some sort of benefits, and that combined with the fact that even if it's a shitty week and nobody comes in, they still get a paycheck (aka basic financial security that NO dancer has) makes me upset when I hear about mandatory tip outs, especially gross ones like $15-20+ or 10%+ when there's more than 30 girls working.
