    Default Florida club tipouts.

    So I've lived in FL for awhile so I know the story on most of the strip clubs... I called Lido's my home club for awhile, but the money's gone down and the tipout has gone up. It's basically a minimum of $40 ($20 upfront) even if you work a slow Tuesday afternoon during the summer, in which case you're giving the club half of your earnings.

    Can someone who has worked in central Florida please give me some insight into their club's tipouts? I don't mind working small clubs, I'd just like a place where I'm not $40 in debt the minute I walk in the door.

    (Edit: Well you know what I mean, a tipout that's relevant to your earnings. $40 is okay if you're making more money, obviously.)
    There's only so much you can learn in one place...
    The longer you wait, the more time that you waste.

    Lido's bar fee went from 20 to 40? That's a big jump.

    40 in total? everything included? I would love a tip out as low as that... even the shitty clubs in Miami have more than that..

    Yeah tip out at Lido's is $20 for the house fee (unless you get there after 10 or don't pay at the start of your shift, then it's $30).
    DJ gets $10 or 10%.
    Bouncers used to get $5, now they get a minumum of $10 or 10%. That's total, not per bouncer.

    They just changed it, and I want to say that the way it works is you take 10% and split it between the bouncers and the DJ but I'm not 100% sure on that...

    ETA: The only club I've worked at even sort of worth mentioning is Dancer's Royal in Orlando. Nice place, professional and friendly staff. It's a gown club, and their hiring standards are kind of strict.
    Anyway, I can't remember exactly how it worked (only worked one shift), but I think their base tip out was more than Lido's... plus it's in Orlando, and based on what I heard from the other girls I doubt the money is any better.
    And for me personally, I hate the strict Orlando laws. That's why I never went back.

    [email protected] the 10%. since they don't count dances there, there is no way they can tell what you make. I'd give the minimums unless you had a great night. I've been gone 3 years but they never had a minimum tip out before. not that i think 10/10 is unreasonable. i used to give 10-20 to the dj and five to the guy that walked me out. interesting that they started minimums. then again there were girls that totally stiffed the staff all the time there. bar fee has been 20 bucks there for over 10 years so i guess they are at least being resonable about that still. It's 25 at Cheaters.

    Lol yeah pretty much.
    The minimums have been there since I started about a year ago, with the bouncers' increasing from $5 to $10 last month. And yeah, it was because they were getting stiffed or under-tipped by too many girls.

    there are several clubs in the tampa area with low tipout/fees, but if you have to drive more than an hour to get to them they're only worth it during season. if you're willing to risk being recorded, try webcamming.

    Yeah, my personal rule is 10% unless I don't break 200 but a lot of the girls never give extra and I've heard so many whining about having to even give the minimum.

    At Cheaters it's actually a total of $35, twenty for house, ten for DJ, and five to whoever walks you out. So only five less than Lido's, and if you don't give more when you do well they DO notice. I've been there over two years and am looking at other clubs. It has been super slow, slower than I've ever seen it, and I'm wondering if it's the club or the area now that NASA is officially dead. But I'll also be honest and say that I know I could be doing better than I have been, I've been super cranky and just haven't had the patience lately. I needs me a vacation. I know a lot of girls that go back and forth between Lido's, Cheaters, and Inner Room, and they all say that all three have too many girls and the earnings are down, but at least Lido's doesn't allow in as many 18-20 year olds.

    Tootsy's has super low house, like five or ten or something like that, and I'm sure you have to tip people out, but the dances are only ten bucks. I have no idea what Inner Room's tip out is, probably comparable to Cheaters and Lido's, but their dances are also only ten dollars. I won't do heavy contact dances for that little, plus having to do like ten dances just to make a hundred would really kill my body. I take care of myself but I'm still in my thirties. :/

    Bare Assets is fifteen before 7pm, twenty after, minimum of ten to DJ and 5 to bouncers and you are expected to give 10% if you do well.

    I think that's all the space coast clubs worth checking out.

    like I said I've been gone three years and had worked at lido's/teasers here and there since the mid 90's! I would drop into cheaters sometimes when tony managed there. there were no minimum tip outs besides house before i left at either place. i think that was part of the problem the cheap girls were always going to be cheap or even not tip at all!
    i feel for you girls over there, it's going to get worse with the shuttle program ending. it will affect an area that was already on the way down in so many ways. add to that backpage girls, pill heads doing cheap takeout and it sure doesn't look good.
