I got hired at a new club, but I'm weary about working there. Lapdances, on Mondays, are only $10. Everyday, dancer gets only $50 from 15 min. room (about $10/dance), and usual lapdances are $20 (air dance). It's hard for me to stack air dances bc they're, well, AIR dances, and I feel like $50 ($100, total, but 1/2 goes to club) is not much money for about 5 songs. Plus, I think the average tip out is $50. I was told that overcharging would get you fired on the spot. I'm used to being able to overcharge - it's usually undercharging that's bad. We are allowed to ask for a tip, however. We aren't allowed to demand one, though. My question is...how would I ask for a specific tip? I feel like I should at least get $100 for 15 minutes, but I'm not allowed to charge that. I'm used to asking for a tip, but not a specific one. How should I word it?

this was a long time ago, but it did make me quite a bit of extra money. our dances were 10 and 25, but when i was done i would be like, "if you really like it tips are appreciated" and it would usually grant me an extra few to a five. on the 15 min you should tell customers that although it is 100, you only get half of that. if they are cool they will usually be like, "oh really? that sucks!" and tip without asking/overcharging. but if you do not feel good about making the amount this place offers you, look at it as a temp job and search around for something better. unless you are 20 miles away from any other clubs, i am sure theres a place where they charge more for dances in your area. even if theres not, it may be worth it to drive a little longer, up to 45 minutes is the norm where i live. remember, you are worth what you think you are and if you think you are worth more than this club, 1, custis will pick up on it and 2, this place may make you feel shitty. weigh your options, and good luck!
