    Default I got sent home for having a speech impediment :(

    So earlier today I decided that I was going to work on my game, dress in a new outfit, and take a gigantic dose of vitamins before work, because they seem to have a very positive effect on my mood.
    Today after 1000 mgs of vitamin c, a soy latte and these really awesome naturopathic adrenal suppliments ( they have maca, holy basil, astagalus, basically everything you need to keep your stress levels in check)....I was feeling *mighty good* I mean...strut your stuff good.

    So I go to the club and start making money because I am feeling so great, just really slow and sexy and confident.
    I end up giving a guy from tokyo a few dances and he is so excited that he keeps trying to pull my bra down and suck on me. It was hard to keep him off me because he couldnt speak english...but he bought a ton of dances and was pretty out of breath by the end of them.

    Thats when I get called up to the office.
    First thing they say to me is : "YOU are DRUNK, GO HOME."
    Im like....what? No, I don't drink, why do you think i am drunk??
    "A customer said you were slurring your words, like you are now"
    "Actually, no ...I have a speech impediment where a tooth in my mouth is close to my tongue and when I let my guard down, you can hear it( believe me..its a lot of effort for me to enunciate my words clearly)."
    "NO your DRUNK. You arn't acting like a lady, you let that guy downstairs suck on your boobs"
    "Sorry, I was having trouble with him"
    "YOU cant fool us, your not an idiot, you knew exactly what your were doing. THATS PROSTITUTION and its ILLEGAL TO BE DRUNK AT WORK."

    Oh my god. They were so mean and degrading. I wasn't sure why they thought I was drunk...it must have had something to do with my good mood and a combination with my speech impediment (which I guess I need to work on, even if it does sound cute

    They said I could come back to work, but I am not sure what to do now. I mean, does this mean I have to carry a breathalizer at work, just to prove im not drunk, even though I sound like I am??? Does this mean I should act less sexy or happy???
    Does this mean I am fucked at work forever??

    I don't want to go to any other clubs, because this is as far as I know the nicest club in town.

    Wow your managers are dicks. But, if you are intent on staying there anyways...Yes, if they say something like that, I would have them breathalize you. I wouldn't act less happy or whatever since that can mess with your earnings. Is there an old school record or something that can prove you do have a slight speech impediment? Maybe you can speak with them at the beginning of your next shift about your impediment?

    Wow, what an ass. Keep talking just the way you talk, and you should bring a breathalyzer in, so the next time he hears you talking and accuses you of being drunk, you can prove you're not and make him feel like an absolute dick for accusing someone with a speech impediment. Or bring in a note from a doctor and cause a fucking scene. I'd be so pissed and embarrassed. And who is this customer who "tattled" on you for being "drunk"? God, some customers have no life but to stir up shit in the SC for no reason...

    Well to me the only issue was the "Sucking on breasts" thing. I think that's what really got you in trouble more then the speech. It doesn't matter how much money the guy spends ,you need to call the bouncer or security so they can tell him that's not how he behaves with dancers. The issue is that this same guy may go to another club thinking "all dancers do this". It could cause major issues for him and other dancers in the future. Just because he doesn't speak English, doesn't mean that he's not aware of the word "NO". He was playing dumb on purpose.

    Now for the speech impediment issue , if they hired you then they probably have already heard that you have it. Surprised they didn't notice this before. Now I would suggest you go back in before your shift and sit down and talk with them about it. If you're able to control it when you are 100% sober then you may want to not drink at all at the club. Obviously after a few drinks even if you're not drunk you may loose some control over it which would cause you to be accused of being smashed. It's not fair but if you bring it to their attention, they may be more understanding. Just don't get caught doing anything physical with any of the clients out of the scope of what's allowed. Not only could they fire you but they could be fined if they are caught allowing it.

    Wait needed to update realizing you didn't drink at all. So the only reason you got called in really was because of the custy that was grabbing and licking on your breasts. If that never happened you most likely wouldn't have had any issues with management. But still talk to them and yes take the test in front of them showing them that they were dead wrong in accusing you of being drunk. Now this may backfire because some of those club heads don't like to be wrong. So try to approach him with kid gloves, because again he'll think ok so you weren't drunk then yet let some guy suck on your breasts sober?

    Most of these incidents will be forgotten by next week and you did make great money of that one custy.

    I don't think she was allowing it-or at least, I am under the impression she was trying to stop it. I've been in a similar position where a guy buys a shit ton of dances, but he is very handsy and you are constantly fighting him off, but don't want to call over a bouncer because the money just keeps coming. I probably would have kept dancing as well. Everyone has their limits of "enough is enough". If this was the case, and she was fending him off and he just kept at it, the managers are also at fault for not coming in on their own to defend their dancer.

    It sounds to me like some jealous hater with nothing better to do, tried to get you in trouble......I would keep my eyes peeled for the bitch, and watch my back. I like the idea of getting a doctors note too...what assholes. But usually my experience with dick heads like that, has proven that they never change. even if you prove it to them you were not doing what the said you were...they will still be assholes. I would try to lay low for a while...and stay out of their way so hopefully they wont focus on you and will forget about what happen.

    I have to agree it was another dancer. I have rarely known customers who would turn in dancers, because so many of them want sex or extras. Can you get your tooth fixed?

    omg, I feel your pain. I also have a mild speech issue(narrow top bite) but took YEARS of speech therapy and yes even if you work on it consciously and have the right therapy it can be barely noticeable. But it's always there.

    I used to be really self conscious about it to the point i would over enunciate and have a "mid atlantic accent" and always have ppl ask where I'm from bc I'm exotic looking and the voice. My classmates and old co workers when i was doing high end retail started to noticed when i got comfy around them, it would just slip.

    At some point you just have to say "i don't GIVE a fuck, and i will NOT let you give me one"

    honestly a breathalyzer might not help, because even if you blow a 0 they might assume the slurring is due to drugs instead.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Yeah, honestly - it sucks and the management were dicks - but, I'd say just forget about it and go back to work. Who cares about proving them wrong? They don't sound like they respect their girls and likely will not believe any evidence you bring in anyway. They work in a strip club, so you're not the first person they've sent home for 'drunken behavior' and probably not the first girl they've sent home for incorrectly believing she was drunk. If you don't want to switch clubs then shrug it off and just go back to business as usual; who the hell cares what they think - you know they were wrong.

    Go back to work like nothing happened, be on your guard and watch your lisp/slurring.

    Sorry girly, I know it's frustrating when you get wrongly accused of shit like this. *hugs*

    ^on the bright side though, at least they care about stuff like guys sucking on titties. thats more than you can say for most clubs.

    i feel bad for the op. but in the future, if you work at a clean club, work harder to make sure the customers dont lick your tits. regardless of language barrier, the message 'no' should be clear.

    Ya, that's my experience too, and not just in strip clubs but in any job with a dickhead boss. They can't admit they were wrong because they're such insecure little fucks. They act like dickheads because they are insecure little fucks. They don't get better.

    It is also highly possible that the person who tattled on you is banging the manager.

    I would go in a little early for next shift and talk to him first thing, in a VERY professional manner. Explain calmly about the unruly customer and that you kept trying to tell him no and fend him off, but he didn't speak english and was spending so you didn't want to stop dancing etc etc. Sometimes a little "apology" goes a long way with these morons. "I'm sorry, should I have called a bouncer? I will next time." haha

    I would NOT just lay low because if he's just picking on you, then avoiding him tells him you're scared and that is the wrong message to send to an asshole like that.

    Agreed that the customer understood you were telling him no but played dumb just to manipulate you. You need to learn to take more control with these guys. It is possible to keep them spending while keeping yourself out of trouble

    I wouldn't stress over it. strip club managers love to go on power trips but without us the club would just be another bar
