Ok, so the club i used to work at was a 20 house fee for my shift, 15 or 20 dj fee depending on what day of the week. And that was it. Im at a club now, that even tho the money is good and consistent, i cant get over how much i am expected to pay on a nightly basis. Maybe im not used to it but it just boggles my mind... last night, i "made" 500, which is a decent, not awesome, night. I payed my 20 to the house, 5 to the housemom, 50 bucks to the dj (percentage club ugh) 5 to the bouncer, and 2 to to the valet. Then i ended up being harrassed by any and everyone about not tipping enough cuz i had such an awesome night....? I already had to dish out over 80 bucks out of 500, and everyone was wanting 10+ extra.... call me selfish or whatever, but last i knew, it was me making my money. I feel like im being pimped out sometimes cuz so much of my money goes to the club. Nights that we do drink specials, i end up paying 20 more to the club. Luckily last night during the special, i was in vip so that saved me some money. But on average, i normally pay anywhere between 90 to 200 a night just for tipout. Last week i ended up making 1300 hundred one night, and walked with 5 bucks over a grand. I dont mind tipping people extra when they help me, but i do get kinda irritated when they think they r entitled to a piece of the pie just because i made it. I dont get pissed off when i see a customers wallet full of hundreds and he only tips me a 10. It is his money, he earns it, he is free to tip whatever he chooses. Theres been some nights ill toss the dj a little extra cuz he helped, or was just being cooperative. Same with the bouncers and every now and then the house mom...
I guess my question is, is this normal tip out amounts and i just got spoiled working in a flat 40 mandatory club, or is this a little much? I have been trying not to let it get to me, but i got to thinking about how much money per week i fork over to the club. Id really like to think im not being greedy, like i said i dont mind tipping out extra when people help me, but i do get erked when just cuz i made money, everyone is supposed to make money (off of me). If these fees are ok, just tell me to suck it up. Im not trying to be a baby, its just this tip out system is new to me.

and yet the club gets 50 bucks more than u? Correct if im wrong, but without strippers, thered be no strip clubs. Its amazing how some clubs function and screw over dancers.
