    Angry Boss threw us under

    So Saturday nite, we have a group of bikers & their old ladies come in & they're there for a couple hours. At the very end of the nite, one of the guys decides he wants four girls to come & do a final group lap dance for the four women in the group. We all got paid up front, hustled them over to the couches since it was the last song of the nite, & got down to business ... when abt 30 seconds later the music is cut & the lights come on. 2am so it's time to kick everyone out.

    All four of us hollered for one more song, & then kept grinding for another minute or so, as long as we could, trying to extend & give them their $$s worth. Two of the girls even tried to give the $$ back since we weren't able to give them the full song, but the guy who paid us said, 'Oh no baby go ahead & keep it.' Their old ladies were happy, we were happy, we thought he was happy so run to the DR before we get yelled at by the manager.

    Once we're in the back getting dressed, the manager came in & called for the 4 girls who did the last dance. He was all 'Don't shoot the messenger' as he told us that the guy who paid for the dances was now demanding his $$ back since their women didn't get their full song. Of course all of us girls are shocked & furious, after we'd been told that we could keep the payment, but the manager wasn't hearing it, we told him everything & he was on abt how the new law is so strict abt him having to close & kick everyone out at 2am & there's nothing he can do abt it if the customer wants a refund.

    It was a very busy nite & I think all of us were too exhausted & pissed off to try & negotiate, I was pissed w/ myself that I didn't think of trying until it was too late. The more I think on it, the more I start to think he took the customer's side b/c they were a large group that spent like mad at the bar, & for awhile now he's been hinting that the club is not doing so hot financially. It feels like he was totally ok w/ shafting us to keep these ppl as customers. It's not just the lost $$ that has me pissed off, altho that's certainly part of it -- it's the principle more than anything.

    Boss held all the dancers & waitresses after closing a few wks ago to tell us abt having to bring in more customers, even going so far as to say that 'before long we may have to look elsewhere for work if things don't turn around.' Ever since that meeting, it's been in the back of my mind that maybe I should be looking for another club, but after this crap the other nite I can just feel the fury building at the thought of going into work.

    Thoughts?

    it sounds shady as fuck to me. the first thing that comes to mind is that the club pocketed that money because they are struggling so bad. find a new club. time is up.

    i agree w Jojox. are you sure that money went back to the customers? Like did yo ugive it to them or see the manager give it to them? the manager saying he gave it back doesnt count.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    That's the other thing that's got me burnt up. Once the girls get called back to the DR at the end of the nite, even once we are dressed we have to stay back there until the floor is cleared of customers. Basically the manager came back, we all argued for a couple min, he told us tough b/c there was nothing he could do abt it if the customer wanted a refund b/c of the new law (yeah, that's pretty much how he put it too) & we had to give the $$ over to him to (presumably) give back to the customer.

    I've been at this club a bit less than 2 months & I've liked just abt everything else abt it, altho I've been wanting to look for a place where the $$ is a bit more consistent. My thought had been to see if I could balance working at 2 clubs since I am trying to build sm regulars at my current club, but at this point I'm beginning to think seriously abt just packing up completely.

    what the fuck law is this? I work in TX and our club has a very strict "no refunds" policy. there is even a sign above the front desk where customers come in.

    also, fyi, this mother fucker aint your boss. you are your own boss. he is just some monkey in a suit managing the club that you work at as an independent contractor.

    you need to ask him exactly what law is this. we also have a strict no refund rule and i think you were ripped off. i dont know about what law hes talking about but there is a law depending on which state where after a certain time you cant sell liquor- it sounds similar to whatever he is saying- and theres absolutely nothing new about it.

    on second thought, there is no point of asking. leave. the place will soon dig its own grave.

    you should have just told him you did the full dance. 30 seconds of music plus another minute or two of grinding? that sounds like a lap dance to me.

    find a new place. and bring your regulars with you.

    I hate it when the managers stand behind the customers...Very sorry this happened to u..Even n my clubs it seems like the bouncers r dealing with more shit w clientele being disrespectful or grabbing people JUST TO KEEP THE BUSINESS N THE BAR. They figure there are so many regular bars n area that r doing well while we r struggling many nights so when people do come n u got to treat them like royalty just for being n the club..But then again at some of my clubs they r low on girls so they do appreciate at the same time the fact that they have the dancers who show up and r dependable. So I do see some appreciation at the clubs that dont have enough girls at the same time Im seeing the customers being treated a little too good sometimes.

    I'm grateful every nite I work there that the bouncers take good care of us. It may seem a bit nuts but this is the first club I've worked at, in over 3 yrs of dancing, that both had security & had security that actually did their job. Finally I'm at a club where I feel safe, & for that reason as much as anything I don't want to leave, but the destruction of trust is one of the reasons I left the flight job I came out to TX for in the first place. When your boss doesn't have your back, then what?

    At this dancers meeting a few wks back the manager was even telling us, stop ordering so many commission drinks, start ordering sodas/redbull/whatever more since that $$ goes to the club. He's touting the 'we all have to help each other make $$ if we want to stay in business' line, at a club that he even tells the new girls 'is basically your neighbourhood blue-collar bar that just happens to have entertainers.' We are advertised as a strip club, but often it feels like the dancers are an afterthought at best. Depressing.

    I'm not American, but I'm well versed in the law (just graduated college as a legal assistant)
    This is absolutely false... there is really nothing in the criminal code about strippers per se except obscenity laws applying to erotic entertainment and what it entails.

    Furthermore, what is the bullshit about being held hostage backstage until all customers have left? You should tell the manager this could be construed as unlawful confinement (sometimes they take FOREVER to clear out)

    This industry is really going to shit ..in part because girls do not understand their rights and shady clubs like the one you work at exploit this.

    Aniela-fuck that don't order commission drinks bullshit. Grab cards and pass them around and for godsakes-get the club on yelp. I'd never even heard of your club til I went on a local review board. But I would make very clear to the manager that pulling together means showing up on time and being the sexiest, best mannered stripper--once he starts fucking with your money he's going to cause a mass stripper exodus and the bar will no longer be a bar with entertainers. You can stick up for yourself after the fact.

    Oh I'm def not buying that 'don't order commission drinks' crap.

    There was a lot of stuff covered in that meeting since sm of the girls were just doing really stupid things like bitching abt late fees when they show up 3 hrs after shift start, that sort of thing. But now that it's gone from that, to the manager actively fking w/ our $$, not to mention a dayshift bartender who pocketed my commission drink $$ -- I'm not liking this pattern here. FG I'm def taking your advice abt Euless, that's the first place I'm going tonite to look for a new club.

    Thnx everyone for all the input.
