    Default Manager's a dickhead

    I've been dancing at the same club for almost 2 years now. It's a small club with a great atmosphere, and since the club is small, the girls all get along because we're like a family. Money is also pretty damn good most of the time. However, the manager is a total prick. BUT he isn't a prick to ME. The club has only been open for 2 years and I've basically been there since the beginning, so he treats me like something special. I don't even pay a house fee. Still, it really bothers me how he treats some of the other girls.

    Example 1. About a week ago, one of the dancers injured her ankle. She took some time off but had to come back because she needs money. She asked the DJ not to put her on stage, but said she'd still try to sell dances. It was a very slow Wednesday. I mean, terrible. There were probably 3 guys in there for the first 2 hours. The girl with the ankle was talking up one of them for a while, but he wasn't buying a dance. Still, he was compensating her for her time. The manager noticed the guy tipping her and he called her over to reprimand her. She told him she wasn't sitting with him for free, that she'd made about $50 off of him, but he just wasn't interested in a private dance. "You're getting paid, and I'm not," he bitched. Then he decided to raise her house fee from $20 to $45 for that night... sending her home soonafter. He basically robbed her, taking all of the money she made from that dude, and then prevented her from making more money by kicking her out.

    Um.. I thought we paid a house fee so that we could use the club to make money for ourselves, first and foremost? You can't force someone to buy a dance if they really don't want to. Does he expect her to club him over the head and drag him back there? Of course she'd much rather have the dance, she profits more.. but what is she supposed to do? This was the kind of night where you just take what you can get. She got fired a couple days later.

    Example 2. It was Saturday, about 3 AM and the night was winding down. A fellow dancer and myself were sitting down at the bar to do a shot. We both expressed that we had to pee, but someone was in the bathroom. So, my friend ran over, passing a married couple, and knocked on the door. Then she came back. When she got back to the bar, the woman from the couple stormed over and grabbed my friend's face. She kissed her on the lips and said, "I respect you, you crazy bitch, but if you ever grab my husband again, I'm going to kick your fucking ass. Have some respect, that's my husband!!" Then she let go of her face and walked away, leaving my friend confused. "WTF? I didn't touch your husband," she defended. The manager ran over to my friend and said, "What's going on? You're drunk, go to the dressing room." My friend (who was drunk, but that's beside the point) was upset and in tears when I went to console her. The manager came back and argued with her. She said the woman should be kicked out for laying her hands on her and threatening her, but the manager disagreed. "The customer is always right," he said, "You're just a waitress with tits."

    NO customer, man or woman, should EVER be permitted to abuse the dancers. (And WTF lady? Don't bring your husband to a strip club if you're gonna go batshit psycho crazy when strippers interact with him. If your self esteem can't handle it, stay the fuck out!) This woman was not removed from the club, and my friend was chastised. She felt violated and disrespected, and wasn't able to make money for the rest of the night.

    Now, like I said, I make really good money here, and the management treats me like gold. But it's really disheartening to see how these other girls are being disrespected. There was also an incident recently where a customer fingered a girl on stage and wasn't kicked out. It's very frustrating. Has anyone ever had to deal with anything like this before? His blatant disregard for the safety & comfort level of his dancers really baffles me.

    As long as you're being treated well, try not to let it bother you too much. Many strip club managers are dickheads who play favourites and there's unfortunately nothing that we really can do about it. If you happen to be on their good side, milk it for all its worth!

    I would be a little concerned about customers not only being allowed on stage and touching girls but also FINGERING them, not only for my physical safety but also because that's just begging for a raid to happen.

    Personally, I really do not like when managers have favorites. It subtract professionalism from them; they should be neutral towards dancers.
