    Default Money issues at my new club

    Topic 1: Management keep trying to refuse my house fee

    I started in a new club a couple of weeks ago and it hasn't been going well. I've worked 6 days 4 of those have been dead and on one of the busy days I did terrible. I haven't been dancing long, I haven't got my hustle down yet and so far at this club I've been running a loss.

    Anyway, the management know I haven't been doing well and two nights now they've tried to let me off from paying my house fee (50/70 depending on the night). I know there have been girls who have made a loss on some nights, although not as much as me, and I'm sure they're not being offered the same deal.

    Now, my view on this is I don't want to be pitied as a charity case, because it makes me feel like I'm not good enough. How am I supposed to learn how to do this job properly if I'm not on the same playing field as all the other girls? So last night I explained to them that while I appreciate the gesture I don't need other people to worry about my money and that I wanted to be professional - I worked so I pay house fee.

    So I just want to get an opinion from the girls here about this. Am I doing the right thing? Am I going to be respected for this or will they just think I'm an idiot? What should I do if they try to refuse it again?

    Topic 2: Not sure whether to switch clubs or not

    Yes I know, making a loss is not good and I don't like it one bit. But the key issue here is whether another club will be any better. House fees will be just as high anywhere else and I expect there'll be way more competition (this club only has about 10-15 girls a night, sometimes even less). And most importantly, I don't think my hustle will magically improve by switching clubs.

    Apart from the really terrible day I had when it was busy, I don't think I've been lagging behind all the other girls money-wise. It's not like I've made a huge loss, if I hadn't had that bad day I would at least be breaking even. And while I don't want to be breaking even, I'm in stripping for the long haul and with my financial status it would be acceptable right now.

    At the end of the day, I need to pick up my hustle as quickly as possible without bankrupting myself in the process. On the money front the potential to earn is here and there's less competition. On the hustle front, some of the girls here are supportive and obviously the management like me. Even in these 2 weeks, bad as they've been, I feel like I've developed so much from where I was at in my last club.

    But then, all that could just be me getting attached to a club too easily due to liking familiarity. I really don't have a clue what to do :/

    WTF?! Your being offered an opportunity that most new girls get anyways (free house for the first few days or bad days) & your gonna insult them or other girls by turning your nose up at it???

    Take the goddamn free house & roll w/ it. When you have to pay it then pay it when you don't then don't! Continue to observe & take in & judge what will be your best next move in the mean time. trust me -dancing is an opportunistic career or job in many ways -so adjust to that & start to use it!

    most new girls dont pay house right away. it takes awhile to get into a groove and management knows this. trust me once u start having to pay, youll be wishing for the days you didnt :/

    Wow that's great of your club. In my club if you don't make jack, you better be running to the atm to pay them at the end of the night. If its slow, find some guys who come in quite frequently and is a loner or girls haven't approached them because they are labeled the "non spenders". Strick up a conversation and see where it goes. You never know what could happen. If nothing, at least he will remember you and possibly might tip you on stage or more. This happen to me plenty of times when I worked in NJ. It is quite suprising how people really are after they are labelled. Good luck!

    I'm not new to stripping and I don't wanna be treated like I am. Yeah, I'm still learning shit but I know how to make money. I'm not sitting on my ass trying to figure out what to do like a newbie, I'm working every customer I can get my hands on. It's just most of the days I've worked there hasn't been any money to make (club's been dead cause of half term/Halloween/Guy Fawkes Night).

    Doesn't matter if you're new or not to stripping, you're "new" to this club. Take what they're offering you and be thankful. You said it yourself-it takes a little bit to get used to a new club and get into the groove of things. Enjoy this little reprieve.
