    Default No place to relax or take and dirty conditions.

    Oops! Title should read: No place to relax and Dirty Conditions

    This is long: but please read. I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to work right now, but I just can't bring myself to do it because I hate the conditions.

    I'm not good with always being on the floor, and after I do a string of dances I like to go to the Dressing Room and relax for a moment, re-do my makeup, change my panties, brush my hair (my extensions tangle easily), and just breath for a moment before I go back to the intense hustling. Usually about 3 or 4 times a night, 5-10 minutes TOPS.

    This is a big problem at my newest club because the the dressing room doesn't have a lot of chairs (about 8-10) and it has a LOT of dancers. If I go downstairs to the DR, there's no place for me to sit and reapply foundation, cool off, have a drink of water or anything. Also, I don't have a locker, so all my things are kept in my locked backpack in the managers office which is upstairs, across the club. I have to go find the manager, get my backpack, walk across the club, down the stairs to the basement DR and stand in a corner while I attempt to re-adjust myself.

    Also, the Air Conditioning doesn't work, so its getting insufferably warm in the main area of the club and downright HOT upstairs in the lap dance section. I sweat like crazy, and I have no where to go towel off or take a break from the hustling and loud music.

    I tried sneaking away to one of the washroom stalls, but they're really dirty - toilet paper all over, piss on the floor and all over the toilet seat. The dancers in this town are really fucking dirty when it comes to the toilets; piss, shit and blood everywhere. They smoke pot and cigarettes in the DR (not allowed to smoke inside in Ontario) and coke, of course.

    I had similar issues at my old club, but I would be able to sneak into a empty champagne room to collect myself with a handful of other cleaner, calmer dancers, take a break from the men and the lights, and I'd use the mirrors in there to adjust my hair/makeup. I used the female customers restroom to avoid the issue of dirty bathrooms; but new club said we're only to use the dancers washrooms.

    Are the conditions of your club like this too? The only club I've worked in this city that had a nice dressing room was a dive club; they rest have been like I described. What would you do in this situation? Finding a new club isn't an option right now - maybe in a few weeks. Am I just spoiled and expecting too much?

    I've heard of clubs that have nice DR's with enough mirrors and chairs for most girls (instead of 5 chairs to 80 girls), water fountains, clean toilets....I don't feel like I'm asking for much!

    I've worked in places like this... I couldn't take it, I HAD to find a new club.
    I can't deal with working in disgusting conditions.

    ^ I have a lock on my bookbag, but that doesn't mean some crazy bitch won't just cut into the bag or steal a hard-sided suitcase. Management said if it's valuable, keep it in the office. I might try to see if there's a way I could get something hard-sided and lock it TO something (maybe the side of the set of lockers, the chairs are very light).

    The real issue is not having a place to sit in the dressing room, or even stand while relaxing and reapplying makeup/hair. Also, the fact that I can't piss or change my tampon while I'm at work.

    Can you keep the essentials for touching up make up in your bag that you carry around? and maybe a tiny hair brush? There's no way in hell I want to waste time hunting down a manager so i can get my stuff so I just make sure I carry a little purse that is big enough to fit my essentials. I agree with you completely on this though--those bathrooms ARE disgusting--yuck!

    But I would really recommend bringing up the unsanitary toilet to the manager. I really don't think it's legal to allow them to stay like that.
    I don't smoke at work...r at all, the girls are supposed to go outside to smoke, but they don't. I wish they did.

    I mentioned it to the manager, they said it's our responsibility to look after our surroundings.

    Yeah, I keep a little comb, some lipstick, powder and eyeliner in my purse with my Purel and hankercheif, but I'd really like the ability to get in my bag a few times every shift. Maybe I'll get a little Dollarstore thing of moist-wipes that I can keep in my purse.

    I agree with getting a different bag. More than likely a girl is not going to mess with a hard shell suitcase, so look into those. Get yourself a good combination lock, & keep extras of the same style lock in the suitcase in-case you lose the one you locked your bag with.

    Something like this should work:

    Excuse the Wal-mart link, but Amazon wasn't sorting well for me today.

    Keep another safe place inside as well, maybe a smaller locked case.

    If you can't get a chair, bring a blanket you can lay on the floor to sit on, & a small mirror.

    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    At my club, the management are assholes, and we get in shit for spending any time in the DR at all. (The DJ checks in every few minutes to make sure no dancers are "slacking.")

    I also don't smoke, so I never get a break. Luckily the washrooms are decent, so if I want to make a phone call, or take a minute to relax by myself, I hide in a stall. Sorry I have no good advice, just commiserating.

    We have a disgusting changing room. Its disgusting because girls arrive and don't keep it clean. They flick cigarette ash everywhere and leave wet wipes and dirty glasses and rubbish everywhere. We have a bin. We have an ashtray. FFS use it! I know this is all irrelevant but I fancy having a rant about it, because its me that ends up coming into work early and cleaning and tidying it at least once a week, and have I ever heard a thanks? No.
    Some girls are disgusting!!

    I have no advice to add to what's already been mentioned, but I do have my own tale of dressing room woe.

    It was the first club I worked at ever. When I started, there were two large garbage cans in the dressing room (not regular sized, like extra large sized) and they were literally overflowing with garbage.
    There was a bathroom for ladies attatched to the dressing room with two stalls. One stall was functional. The other was not. I made the mistake of opening it one day, and saw the toilet was full of some kind of brown sludge, and the stall itself was turned into a storage area for all kinds of miscellaneous stuff.
    The two sinks in the bathroom were routinely backed up with vomit and cigarette butts, and I never saw them cleaned except for when one of the dancers did it.

    The garbage was never taken out. The dressing room was never cleaned in any way except for what us girls did, but not that it really mattered when you had a pile of garbage hanging out 4 ft away.
    The broken stall was never fixed, and apparently had been broken for 4-6 months before I even started.


    The club itself was mildly better, but I still wouldn't call it clean.
    In my few months there, I never saw the carpet cleaned besides sweeping it. No vacuum, just a broom. Gross.

    The last straw for me was when I found out the garbage was in the dressing room because the owner didn't pay for the dumpster to be taken away (which was also overflowing) and then finding out he had the money to do that AND remodel our shitty club but he blew it all on sleeping with dancers... That was the push I needed to go somewhere better, and I'm so glad I did. I work less than half the hours and make more than twice the money, and I don't have to smell garbage while I touch up my make up!



    Anyways, I have many more horror stories but this is already plenty verbose.
    I blame the wine. Cheers!

    there is NO way that can be legal for any of you girls who have experienced this. if your management won't do anything about it, i would "anonymously" report it to whatever bureau in your state/country is responsible for safe working conditions.

    piss, blood, shit, and other bodily fluids on toilet seats (and being told you're NOT allowed to use any other bathroom) is putting your health at risk and telling you that you have no other option.

    definitely report it. but do it anonymously. that way the ppl will come in and tell ur club to clean that shit up, but you won't suffer the consequences for being a "tattle tale".

    maybe report the other clubs that were like that, in case you ever decide to go somewhere else--hopefully those bathrooms will get the regulators in and cleaned up!

    I usually just fix my makeup right out on the floor. I carry a compact in my bag and guys think it's so hilarious to see a girl powdering her nose right on the floor. grab a glass of water and take your break at the bar. kick your feet up like you're just relaxing and enjoying yourself. it usually works in my favor. a guy will walk up and be like "haha takin a break?" and I'm like "yeah wow I've been so busy tonight!!!" try not to look bored.

    You might need to learn to adjust and travel lighter ! My recommendation would be to keep a few outfits with the manager but get a larger purse so that you can keep all touch up makeup ON you. I'm not a huuggeee outfit changer though ( I usually only do a time or two in a shift ) . I have worked in a place with closets for a dressing room ( seriously ) , so on a weekend, there is just like no chance in hell of doing anything in there . My purse has everything I need to touch up makeup and I would just arrange my bag to have my next outfit change on top so that I only have to be in the closet for like one minute to quickly change the outfit.
    You might have to adjust and learn to zone out / chill right at the bar or a corner of the club if there is no where to sit down. I had to do the same with the club I described. I actually sort of avoid it on weekends now because of the conditions.

    Wow, sounds like my club! lol
    There used to be a group of us in the corner who would lay down a whole bunch of blankets and pillows. It made our corner so inviting and homey=)

    Is there anyway you could bring your own pillow or folding stool to sit on at work? It would be a bonus if you could bring maybe a blanket too, or a candle...or something that you would consider pleasant and relaxing(to distract you from your surroundings while you are trying to have a breather)^^

    If you decide to do that tho be sure that you're not the only girl who has been complaining about the conditions. My mom was fired b/c she was the only one who complained about the conditions in her workplace. When someone -not her, I know for a fact- called the health department her employers blamed it on her and fired her.
