    Lightbulb Tipping out

    So I was wondering how much do you ladies usually tip out your house mom? We are required to tip $5 and I always tip $20 but I feel like I am being cheap. We don't have to tip out to much to other ppl either so its not like the tip out is outrageous or anything. Should I start to tip out $30? I know money talks and bs walks soo

    I tip $20. that's more than minimum & I only use her baby wipes. I was told that the housemom does not get paid by the club but must also pay a fee as well. does anyone know how this usually works? but I agree with above about the part that money only talks so much.

    It's mandatory to tip mine $5 and that's what she gets. I bring my own baby wipes, come with my makeup and hair already done, and basically have everything I need in my bag that I lock up in my locker. The housemom has never (in any club) been a help to me so I don't tip on top of what I am forced to do.

    Ours is mandatory $10 and that's what I tip, unless I had an incredibly good night, or I used a ton of her stuff. At the most I usually just drink some of the water she brings in or whatever, so I feel like that's what she's there for. If we have to tip more just for using their stuff, then that means that we're tipping the mandatory amount just for them to sit there... it doesn't really make sense to me. Some girls tip a few bucks extra but nothing outrageous, and some girls are cheap-asses and argue about paying the $10 every night.

    I don't go all crazy tipping at my club. Call me cheap but those people don't do shit for me.

    People say we should tip the waitresses and the bartenders...but we DON'T serve alcohol! I'm not tipping $10 a night between the waitresses and bartender for handing out juices and pops to customers. And frankly, I don't appreciate the waitresses taking $5.50 away from me for half a bottle of Vitamin Water from a customer.

    The guy that walks me to my car can have a couple bucks but the parking lot is well lit and I've never had an issue with people waiting for me or watching me walk to my car.

    I give the DJ a few bucks. Most of them have attitudes and play shitty music so I don't really care to tip them. They make excuses and play the "good music" for girls that tip them $20-30 a night but I don't care. I'd prefer to be skipped on stage when I'm in VIP anyway so at that point they aren't doing shit for my business anyway. It's not like they refer me to people, and the crowd gets excited when I do tricks whether the DJ talks me up or not.

    I like one of our DJs a lot, he's really cool. The rest of them are pretty lame and have attitudes.

    When I make a nightly run to McDonalds I will bring back coffee for anyone who asks though; DJ, manager, greeters, bartenders, etc.

    When I work at a club with a house mom I tip the minimum because I never use her for anything.I always have my own stuff. Now, if I did use something of hers, if probably tip a little more, depending on what I used.

    Minimum five bucks to the housemom and thats what i give her. if i have a great night, i'll give her ten. if she helps me with something, like a broken shoe, i'll throw her an extra five bucks.

    If the required tip is $5 Im not sure why you would tip 6x that amount... seems excessive. Tipping is not the norm here although the house takes a massive share of our earnings. (Around 40%) I usually only tip if I make over a certain amount and will tip depending on who helped me most on the night and how much. The more money I made, the more I will tip. But Ive definitely never tipped one single person more than $20.

    You're not being cheap. Just practical. I see no reason to tip either unless they've done something for me. It should NEVER be mandatory to tip a housemom unless you use her things and/or eat her food. I'll tip the DJ anywhere from $5-20 bucks depending on the night I've had.

    At my current club, the managers are the ones to tip out but there's just one that's dumb enough to ask for tip out even when you've had a bad night.

    When I worked with a house mom I tipped her anywhere from $5 to $20. I had to do with how high maintenance I was that day.

    If a house mom has a great personality and was there when needed her I had no problem tipping her $20 bucks.

    Think of it as if you were a customer in a strip club. Are you cheap or generous? Generally I tip on attitude and quality. If a girl makes me feel like I need to be cheap I avoid the service all together.

    I've only worked at one club with a house mom and she didn't do shit, was always drunk, picked favorites and gave all her favorites special treatment (i.e. letting them leave early, letting them show up late, letting them skip stage, and gave everyone else fines) and was a crazy pathalogical liar. I never tipped her anything because I didn't think she deserved a tip.

    I would just tip her the same way you would tip the DJ: a combination of how well you did that night and how much she helped you out.

    I tip house mom's the minimum because I never use them.
    On the RARE occasion that I do... I tip based on whatever I used. I'm not gonna go crazy and tip $5 because I used a bead of eyelash glue, ya know?

    $30 to the housemom is excessive. I'd rather spend that money on someone who actually HELPS my money... like the DJ (who helps by promoting me well on stage, putting me up when I want to/skipping me when I want to, tells me which customers have money/like my type, and when customers ask who gives a good dance he says me) or the waitress that sells me a lot of drinks (in clubs where we get money for drinks)

    There's nothing wrong with being a good tipper... if the money is well placed.
    If the house mom isn't helping you make $100 a night... tipping her $30 is stupid.

    Most clubs its a mandatory $5. I usually tip 10 if im not using any of her stuff... I tip 10 so she keeps an eye on my stuff... She lets me know if girls have been poking around my locker or hanging around my area longer than they should be...

    I abhor tipping the housemom. I use absolutely nothing of hers and she does nothing but sit on her ass all night. She doesn't have a hand in the schedules or anything like that either. The recommended tipout to her is 10 and I used to give 10 every night, until recently I docked it to 5 and I feel much better about it. I feel like I am subsidizing all the girls that use her crap instead of being responsible for themselves. Why should I do that too, when I have everything I need for myself?

    I'm taking a little break from stripping, right now but when I am dancing I'm pretty much with everyone else....if I don't use anything I tip the minimum (usually $5) and more if I use something, eat the food, etc. The only exception to that is the house dad at Shotgun Willie's in CO....that guy is soooooooooo nice, really funny, will go out of his way to help the girls and makes the night fun even if the money is bad. I always gave him at least $10 and definitely more if I used his stuff and/or had a really good night.

    We don't have a house mom at the club I dance at but we are absolutely required to tip our DJ $20 no matter if he's helped us or not. I think this is a little excessive to say the least being that no matter how much each lady has made at the end of the night, that number stays the same.:/
