    Default Ques About Club Contract - Charging More than Club Price

    Background: I work at new club that charges $150/half hour room ($75 goes to dancer). I don't like this, so taking some ppl's advice, I charged $150 as base, but told customer $15/dance. I was then told, by staff, that I'm not allowed to do so, and that it's in my contract. Well, I read over my contract, and I don't see anything. The closest that I see to covering the same topics says:

    Entertainment Fees. In consultation with entertainers who lease space on the Premises, the Club shall establish a fixed fee for the price of certain performances engaged in on the Premises (referred to as "Entertainment Fees"). Entertainer agrees not to charge a customer less than the fixed price for any such performance, unless the Entertainer notifies the Club in writing of any changes to her customers of a lower amount. Nothing contained in this Lease, however, shall limit Entertainer from receiving "tips" and/or gratuities over-and-above the established price for such performances. THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ENTERTAINMENT FEES ARE NEITHER TIPS NOR GRATUITIES, BUT ARE, RATHER, MANDATORY CHARGES TO THE CUSTOMER AS THE PRICE FOR OBTAINING THE SERVICE OF A PERSONAL ENTERTAINMENT PERFORMANCE.

    So what I'm getting from that is that the dancer can't set a lower fee than what the club's set. I don't see anywhere where it says that she can't set a higher fee, though. Am I missing something?
    Also, does charging $450 for the cheapest room sound completely crazy? I'm not used to doing this room thing, because to be honest, I guess that I never felt as though I was worth $450 for half of an hour. I mean, I don't think that I have low self esteem - I just think that amount would be ridiculous for anyone. However, after charging someone $300 for a room (since it was after a certain time, it wasn't half price) and then him paying an extra $180 for dances in that room, I think that I feel more confident that people are willing to pay that...

    Just my opinion...
    Get whatever you can, and don't let anyone at the club know about it, including other dancers (especially).
    If the customer gives you the money, it's yours.
    Treat every shift like it's your last, maximize maximize maximize.
    Yes I agree it sounds like a lot, but if you can get it, get it!

    ^Yeah, it often doesn't matter what your contract says if the manager wants you out. If you're going to charge more, be smart about it - don't do it when someone else is within earshot and don't tell anyone you're doing it.

    Also, some customers do complain to the managers and/or owners when dancers try to overcharge them (eg. the 15 dollars per dance). So, regardless you haven't told anyone, a manager and/or owner may had found out because of a lousy customer. I had seen this happen a lot. The best way to get more money on a VIP and/or CR is by requesting a tip. Plus, if there's a contract present you could get sue for breaking it.

    Damn $75 for a half hour isn't much. At my club the mininum for VIP is $150. A dancer can charge up to $500, but most usually do between $200-$250. If you were to charge $200 for example, you would get $125, and the club still only gets $75. However for lapdances, we would probably get into trouble for charging customers more than the set amount if they complained to management. Most people tip a few extra dollars anyway.
