    Default I think I got fired for hustling ( rant warning )

    I had a recently popped into a club I had worked for that was under new ownership. I had not danced since October and I was quite nervous going in since I hadn't danced in a while. I went in well dressed, tanned, mani, pedi, hair done nicely ( ok, a really nice wig ). I wore my favorite outfit, a playboy shorts set that always makes me money as opposed to the standard bikinis everyone else was wearing. I had brushed up on hustle hut posts and dancerwealth and made sure to apply those techniques throughout the night.

    When I had been doing my research on the club and on all the review sites there was a common complaint from customers was that none of the girls really approached them and just hung out in a group BSing with each other and that the most effort they would put out was "wanna dance". I figured it would be like shooting fish in a barrel and it was. I just smiled sunshine out my ass the entire time, was super friendly and flirty and did light to medium contact dances all night. No more than 20 people came through the door and this was a Thursday night during high season while a major event that brings in thousands of businessmen was going on. I was a bit surprised by the thin crowd but did decent even though the dances were only $7.00 on the floor and $10.00 in VIP. Although it wasn't the most profitable, it was one of the most fun and stress free nights dancing that I have had since the recession started. I had been stressed about going back and by the end of the night I was really looking forward to dancing again.

    After giving the DJ a generous tip ( he did a great job ) The club owner pulled me aside and said something to the effect of " I'm not saying you can never work here again, we are just going to cut you loose. It is really slow right now and it is not fair to the other girls if you work here." I was so taken aback that my response was "ummmmmm.......ok?" I wish I would have asked for a more solid reason than that and pointed out that the other dancers don't hustle or ask why there was no effective advertising other than billboard that is an hour out of town. How about the fact that it is season the club is a few block from a military base and thousands businessmen in town and only 20 head through the door. This seems like a bigger problem than someone who is a skilled hustler taking all teh moneys. Nope, I just left and bitched relentlessly to my boyfriend about it.

    Best thing to do is just forget it and move onto another club, but it has been bugging the shit out of me. I can understand auditioning and being told to tone up or that I am not what they are looking for. These are solid reasons and something that I can personally fix. I've also been told they have too many girls (bullshit) when i have requested an audition. That is fine as well. I have never worked an entire shift, done well and then told to get lost. This is a new one on me.

    I've been stranded out in AZ for the last month since my van broke down. I haven't worked since that night because I have been sick and now I really need the money to get back home. I have a choice between the faux upscale club with shit management, the slummy club that I've never made money at, the ghetto shoot em up club with extras, the semi upscale club near the airport that no one really talks about and the locals bikini bar that there is very little info on ( which I am honestly leaning towards ). Really, I just want someone to give me $500.00, two Iron Maiden pit tickets and maybe a pony ( a girl can dream, right ). Any feedback on this matter is welcome.

    SEVEN DOLLAR LAP DANCES?!

    I've never been to AZ, but I'm going to assume that isn't normal anywhere in the US. And you got fired for, of all things, actually bothering to sell those dances? It sounds like you had no problem remembering how to be a stripper and have the skills to work at most any club. Please don't let the fact that you wound up in a bizarre situation on your first shift back make you doubt yourself. Absurdly insulting dance prices, no advertizing, favoritism towards incompetent dancers. . . I'm sorry you picked the wrong place to try first. I'd vote for trying the one that at least pretends to be upscale next. Bad management or not (and really, how much worse can the management there be than at the last place you tried?), after a shift or three you'll be out of AZ and off to see Iron Maiden. Good luck.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yeah, floor dances here top out at $10.00 and 20 in VIP. I think its the prices are fucked when the national average is $20. I often use that fact when selling dances here since the client base of this town are a bunch of cheap asses. I admit that I have been a wimp about going back to dancing but I really hate working in Tucson. The dances are way too cheap and all ghetto in the worst way. I enjoyed working in Los Angeles more the desert shithole clubs in this area.

    Again, thank you so much for your kind words. They give me some much needed confidence to go back out tomorrow and find somewhere to work. Once I get there it won't be so bad but the anticipation just kills me.

    Sounds like maybe you were the victim of some drama among the other girls. I don't think a manager would independently decide, "Wow, that girl is approaching customers and selling dances and making money and that's not fair to the other girls who sit on their asses all night." However, I have worked at clubs where particular girls could throw their weight around and make management do things that weren't in the club's best interest...I've seen two DJ's and three bouncers get fired cold because they wouldn't tolerate a dancer's bullshit, and that dancer was fucking the owner and told the owner she wanted them gone, and then BOOM. I think you actually got lucky in this situation because you kinda dodged a bullet...there is nothing worse than working in a club where the inmates are running the asylum, so to speak...in a club where jealous dancers influence management decisions, it's usually a cesspool of corruption and you end up experiencing really unnecessary drama and stress that will ultimately mess with your money and your sanity. Fuck that place. Find a club where you are rewarded and appreciated for doing your job.

    Agree with Firemaiden. I have been a victim of this too and it was from dancers who were jealous and fucking the manager. Sorry this happened but I'd go some place else.

    My boyfriend suggested that this is what happened. It seemed logical but it always confounds me when stuff like this happens. I just think it is silly because I don't think I have the universal appeal that a majority of the girls that were there that night. I am about 5'10 with a large athletic frame so I looked like a friggin giant next to these girls. Before I went out to the main floor I had to give myself a pep talk that I was way hotter than any girl in the building, blah blah ( I wasn't, but my subconscious does not need to know that ). I mean, any one of those girls can do their research and learn how to effectively close sales. I didn't wave my damn magic wand and make all the customers spend money on me.

    I really appreciate both Kelllydancer and Firemaiden for corroborating this theory. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around some of the highschool mentality antics that happen in the clubs and in traditional businesses for that matter. Maybe it was because I was homeschooled, lol.

    I know, right. Not only that but the club rule was that we couldn't charge more than 10 for a dance. Ummmm, we are private contractors and I can charge 100 dollars for a dance if I damn well please. The cheap dances are one of the reasons why I don't work In AZ. $10 is standard here for a floor dance and I have not worked a club that cuts the song. I really didn't want to work here but I'm stuck between a rock and a cheap place.

    I still smell Suavitel even after a week of the damn thing at work. You were NOT kidding Thrillgirl. And you're wayyyy better off going somewhere else.

    Try christies, I worked there and made some easy stress free money. The girls were all nice and they didnt seem to have a lot of girls. Its topless and super cheap to work there. Management was so happy to have me there and it was a nice feeling. I know its not the best club in arizona but it was a clean and stress free club when I worked. Descent money too.

    ITA with all of these ladies! What an outrage! I'm not sure if I could have left as politely as you did! Appearantly you were too good for that cheap price of nothing anyway! Take you beautiful talents elsewhere. I have been in the situation myself where the dancers ran the place. So if this was the case, you are definitely better off somewhere else worth your time!

    Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. You support, advice and well wishes were greatly appreciated. Long story short, I went to a different club, ran into an old reg of mine who hooked me up with more than enough cash to leave town and get my tickets. I am gladly out of the land of 7 dollar dances.

    7 dollar dances *shudder* that's like my worst nightmare. I charge $40 for a good dance at my club, and I still feel like it's not enough.

    Its a good thing you no longer have to work there!
