    Default My first NIGHTshift

    Nightshift and dayshift are pretty different scenes at my club, likely at yours, too. I've only ever worked days, and I like it. However, for some wild reason I was randomly sent home from dayshift yesterday and told to come back at night O.o Here is what I learned, to anyone who is about to work their first night also (things might be different at your club, so all or none of this could be true for you): DON'T SPEAK TO THE DANCERS. They'll come to you if they care. Duh... Don't touch anyone's shit. Stayyyy out of the dressing room. If anyone gives you shit, just take it. DO NOT stand up for yourself. Don't. At my club, that's how a new girl gets her ass beat, fast... If you have an attitude, that's nice for you, but hang it up at the door on your way in. You are not a part of any convo the girls are having. BEWARE of any girl who talks to you. That's how I got started with the drama last night...oh my. Keep your money ON YOU at all times. Be discreet when counting your cash. Don't sit at the counter where you normally might. Put your shit on the floor/in your locker and do your makeup somewhere else if you need to. No matter how much you get picked on, just keep a lid on it. Expect drama, expect extreme bitches... Watch your back. Stay on the floor if you aren't on stage or giving a dance. Don't even really be friendly. The girls at my club hate on the friendly girls more than the quiet ones. Don't even walk in and say hi. Better safe than sorry. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into, but I really didn't. There was everything from straight up cold bitches to middle-school style drama-seeking grown women to just plain fucking scary ladies. A couple girls were nice or mildly polite, at least, but that was far between. Apparently, I was on shift with the "nice" girls, too. At my club, almost all of the above is not true of dayshift, and I made the same money. So as far as I'm concerned, me being as small and young as I am, I'll take semi slow dayshifts over the drama and physical threat. For the next few months, at the very least. GOOD LUCK!

    I find that since more alcohol is flowing in the night shift, girls can definitely be more dramatic and catty and some can even be a nightmare to deal with. However, I think it's in a new dancer's best interest to keep to herself both during the night AND dayshift. Sometimes, "nice" girls are just nice to your face during the day, and I've seen more girls driven out from day shifts than night - during the latter there are at least more girls so it's easier to keep away.

    But definitely good advice on not touching people's stuff, checking your attitude at the door (though I disagree with the way you said to just 'take it' if someone gives you shit... If you know a beating is imminent, I think it's important to stand up for yourself and go to management or get out. Sometimes girls just want to see how far they can push), and not trying to get buddy-buddy with the girls!

    i've yet to work a nightshift at my club but when I'm in the back changing into my clothes and the night shift girls are getting ready to go on the floor I can see that alot of this is true. I've heard them being catty & saying "Damn they hire anyone to work day shift" lol I guess trying to intimidate me into not working night shift. They lucky my schedule doesn't allow me to work at night currently lol... I'll def keep this in mind though.

    thanks for the heads up... my first night is this week and its gonna be a night shift. Typically im a really bubbly and social person,so i guess i should tone that down a bit. But i feel like anything you do people wont like ... if you keep to your self they'll say your stuck up but if your too nice they'll think your a push over. Im just here to make my money and go home

    Just be sososo careful. I hate to say it, and it's not true of everyone at ALL, but you're dealing with strippers, not your typical mean woman...Just keep to yourself, apologize if someone thinks you've fucked up, that kinda thing. And make sure when you sit down with a guy that you find out FIRST THING if he's someone's regular. Don't even stick around for a hug if he is! Lol that's a big thing everywhere, I think. Good luck to you chick, just make your money and get on home!

    wow this was great, but i had to learn the hard way lol...im still new to dancing ( a total of 4 days...lol) so beside reading from here i didnt know too much... i learned real quick that the "friendly girl" does not get you far, if anything i feel like it made me look weaker to the other girl....but with that said i tried to talk to 2 girls and ask them for advice and they pretty much was like get a regular job... i was like oh okay...and stayed to myself, but the next night i came back, the same girl brought me a free drink and showed me some dance moves...so i think it is better to stay to yourself also, and if someone wants to talk then they will, if not life goes on

    I'm lucky with my club. I kept to myself and they all flocked to me. They're sweet and show me new moves, but I'm not here to make friends. However I'm afraid I may have to switch clubs and the girls are AWFUL at the other ones as I hear. flajfkdljfdaslkfjs Apparently if you keep to yourself, they'll attack you. If you try and talk to them, they'll attack you. Either way it sucks.

    Wow, that sounds horrible.

    I work nights at two clubs here, and "mean girls" don't last long at either place. It's much more a feeling that we're all here in the trenches together, us-against-the-assholes kind of mentality. Granted there are girls that keep to themselves more than others, but I can't imagine feeling physically threatened at work.

    Maybe I really do live in la-la land. I'm gonna start counting my blessings more!

    Bitches get hardcore here. I have yet to see a fist fight, having only pulled one nightshift, but whenever I walked in that's ALL they would talk about. "Oh, so and so kicked that bitch in the back and went after her and fucked her ass UP blahblahblahhh" "I beat that bitch down in the parkin lot mmmmHMMM you know it she ain't comin back uh uhhh" that kind of thing. Apparently it's the worst on the weekends. I refuse to work nights on weekends now, I'm so tiny....It's not worth the mad cash at all, imo. I def don't look at the night girls the same anymore....

    Wow taco ur club sounds so mean. That doesn't happen everywhere I promise. I've worked about 10 clubs and none have been that bad. Be careful, tacoprincess. I don't want to read later how u got ur ass kicked.

    But yeah night shifts and days are different for sure. For nights, keep to yourslef, be friendly but not too friendly if spoken too. But don't show weakness otherwise the dancers sense it and attack. Be careful.

    I work in the Bay Area, the south bay. It's not like we're in frickin oakland man, you wouldn't think it would be that bad...And I plan on moving up to Oregon this summer because the money's better, but now I'm scared to because of this crap! I really hope the club I go to isn't as bad as this. It might even just be because I'm the new girl and one girl decided to have a problem with me and drag a handful of other dancers into it...Ugh. I hate that I have to be walking around on eggshells when they come in now.

    They're really horrible here too :/ It's just my club all the girls get along like family. We look out for each other. There's little drama but nothing huge. I love my club <3 Be careful taco! :/ Theres a club here where I could make tons of money but I'd rather not get my ass kicked for no reason

    There's just a certain number of girls who will start the most pointless, random shit with the intention of a: scaring me off or b: getting me fired. It sucks knowing that I have to just be quiet and let time prove them wrong when they make shit up about me to the club owner or other staff. I think some of them really don't have souls anymore....lol It was like I was afraid to sell dances because they'd shoot me evil looks and whatnot. ERGH.

    Man, I'd find somewhere else to work if I were you. That sounds like way too much drama, and consequently it sounds like you are limiting yourself to working day shift, which isn't bad ( i love dayshift!) but it just seems unfair that you can't work a nightshift without having to walk on eggshells the entire time.

    I'm a pretty passive person, I tend to just let things slide, and even more so at work. Dayshift is nothing like that and I still make decent money (reminding myself to count my blessings). I'm going to wait a while and see if it gets better. From what I get, I think they're still putting me through the wringer...I think there'll always be a few girls, wherever I go, who I have to just ignore/be extra polite to.

    so i survived my 1st club and it was a night shift .. i came in mid-shift and during that time the girls were mainly caucasian and a little older. they showed me everything where i could put my stuff and introduced them selves and how long they've been there they typically worked the day shift and was out my time time the night shift girls came in. they were really nice,but kept stressing about watch your things once 10pm hits . Ten came along and omg .. these night shift girls are crazy. i came into the dressing room and they looked at me and said nothing .. i didnt speak unless i was spoken to. there was alot of yelling talk of beating up so and so.I got changed into my new outfit and went to the floor, Im at a local dive bar and people kept asking me how the hell i ended up there, im 5'11 without heels,long brown hair and butt. I made alot of my money on the stage and doing couch dances while alot of the night shift girls huddled up in a corner pointing and talking among each other . i tried to stay away from peoples regulars but they just kept coming to me. thinking about going to the in the city.

    the advice definitely helped tho ... thanks everyone

    You lived! Haha it sounds a lot like my club...Yeah that's what I hated most, I think - having to point regulars (or customers who'd turned down other girls) who really wanted dances with me away, and fast. But congratulations! You went and did it and probably learned a shitload about more than just hustling when it's busy, if you know what I mean. Keep your head up
