    Default Can't work more than 6 hours

    I just can't anymore. Maybe it's because I'm 30, maybe it's because I have a child who wakes up early, maybe it's because my tolerance for bullshit has gotten lower but seriously.... When my shift is over it's OVER. I used to put in 8, sometimes 10 hour shifts. I just can't find it in me to go on. Whatever I have when 6 hours is up, win , lose or draw is what I have. In a way it's liberating, not prowling around for hours after I'm mentally done for that big hit, but then again I feel like I could be missing that LATE money.... But shit, it's Vegas... My club is open 24 hours, if u don't set a time to go home it gets a little crazy. You COULD luck up at 5 am or you could leave at 5 am pizsed you wasted 2 extra hours for 60 bucks. I sometimes wish I had that I'm gonna stay no matter what mentality but shit.... My kid wakes up @ 7:45 and I got shit to do in the day. I did decent tonight but I feel if I had anther 1-2hours in me I could double my money. But maybe not. Such a gamble

    I don't have a kid but there's a reason when I'm not working more than the five hours required by my club - I call it lazy. Not saying that's you - I only speak my own experience - but there is a lot of stuff I tell myself I "can't" do that I find myself doing when my mindset changes.

    Why any one would want to stay more than five hours is a mystery to me.

    Here is my rant and it is not directed towards you Pure.

    For me six is pushin' it but I'd better be makin' bank if I'm there more than five hours.

    I have to just say it and that is that is drives dancers up the wall when girls are there all day.
    If you're not making money go home already!

    Successful people in any business use their time wisely. Hoping, wishing and crossing fingers is not a business model.
    Of course you can miss a good customer by leaving early but you can miss a better customer not being on top of your game due to being tired.

    I cannot imagine sitting in a strip club for more than six hours let alone eight.

    What is the point unless you're making money hand over fist?

    To me the whole point of being a dancer is so that I don't have to work 8 hours on any given day.

    Pure I'm glad you came to your senses.

    Don't burn yourself out.

    I am not a lazy person whatsoever especially when I'm at the club.

    On weeks that I do really start taking time off. You need to have that balance in your life.

    Call me spoiled. It's one of the many perks of living the stripper lifestyle.

    The club i have been workin last two months requires ridicolus schedule. They open at 5 pm so they wants us to be there at 5 oclock till 1.30 weekens 2.3o... cant handle i always go around 6-6.3o and have to listen comliance from managers-owners. Its fuckin long shift, we are tired and no we dont get paid hourly... i hate being there so early till 1.30 at least.

    I usually pull about 7, but its because my house fee is lower if I come in early. Let me assure you, you're not lazy. Most of the dancers in my old club only stayed for 4 hours and worked 3 days a week. I got spoiled by it and after coming here and working longer hours/more often, let me tell you, I was beat! Its a physically demanding job. I find I'm at peak performance if I stick to a healthy diet, high in protein and calcium. It helps incredibly if I get a solid 8 hours of sleep, but it rarely happens. Just remember, you're doing some serious exercise that burns a lot of calories- be kind to your body and you'll see a difference!

    Fair, but if you are making money and there's still more money to be made, why not stick around? I've definitely stayed later after a few shifts and even pulled doubles because there was still money in the club and I had the energy to go after it. For a lot of girls it just makes more economic sense to work longer since they can make more money without paying another house fee, gas/cab fare, or whatever other expense comes along with going into work.

    When I first started I worked 4-5 hours. Then I moved to another area where 10 hour shifts were standard. Quel horror! But I was able to make it after a few shifts. Man, do I wish I could go back to working just 4 hours! I think 6or less is ideal too but these days I have to be flexible and stay later if I want to keep making the same money as in years past.

    I work 8 to 9 hours every time I work. Always have. I have been dancing for three months now, at three different clubs in Miami, all the same shifts basically.

    I feel ya! I used to work these insanely long shifts ( in order to get a lower house by coming in early AND also get late night money ). I probably still could .... but not on any kind of regular basis. Eh. ;(

    I shudder at remember a club that told me after I worked 5-2 that they "needed" me there till 4-5 a.m. ( shudderz)
    ^ I could have left of course but I traveled to this place and there wasn't another club I wanted without driving 6 hours!

    I'm always aiming for $1k+ it's really hard to make that in 6 hrs where I wrk although it is possible. I used to do 5hr shifts but I suddenly realized I was making $200-300 less. Now I stay at least 7 hours or more.

    I completely understand. At my old club, the shifts were usually 3-9 and 9-3. But on Sundays, we opened late, so the shifts were 6-midnight and 9-3. I came in at 6 and could leave at midnight or stay til 3. When I first started, I always stayed the 9 hours until 3. But, as time wore on... I just couldn't. Even though I knew that most of the money came in after midnight, I couldn't bring myself to work a 9 hour shift anymore.

    I am going to the clubs that make you work 10+ hr shifts and then ask you to stay until 4-5 am...whaaaa? I guess I'm lucky that in my state, every place that serves alcohol must close down at 3am, and they never bother to open earlier than 2-3pm. So shifts generally are about 6 hours, which is my breaking point now too. Props to anyone who can stay longer!
