    Default manager tells me im not shit cuz i dance!!

    Tonight I worked& This manager tried charging me 75$ for being late one night. Nobody said anythingthing about this for days& i worked so i assumed it was all good but this manager came to me real rude tonight saying"u owe me $$"&id say "4 what?"&he slams door&ignored me like he was mad at me so the house mom tells me to go in & talk to the manager (like i owed him an excuse) & so i did ask him what the problem is & he tells me i owe for being late A few days ago & when I complain cuz thats crazy to me. He says "ur not shit. what u do isnt shit" (like cuz im a dancer im nt shit). So i ask him"and u are something? ur old enough to be my daddy & ur beggin me 4 $$ every night" He gets real mad & keeps goin w insulting me. Im just wondering like wtf is up w some managers do they really think there better than us askin us to pay fees for things like being late...? I should be able to be late if i wanna cuz #1 im an independent contractor & not an employee. What do u guys think about this? cuz im pissed off about this & it just seems wrong to me to treat a girl like shes nobody & flat out say that she's nobody cuz she takes her clothes off for $$! He dont know me at all. he dont know if i have a business besides stripping (which shouldnt matter anyways) or what im doing outta the club.

    The debate about dancers being independent contractors but being subjected to employee treatment is currently being played out in the courts across the country. Until they're told otherwise, there are management types who will always try and milk you for all your worth and treat you poorly while doing it. Really though, just like insults from customers or other dancers, you can't take it so personally. Either deal with it (if the club has good enough money potential to justify the abuse) or go to a different club.

    Ugh. This pisses me off! It's not uncommon for clubs to charge fees for being late/missing shifts... Getting on management's good side can often times alleviate these charges, but the catch-22 is that you probably shouldn't be late if you're trying to get on their good side. But this guy sounds like more of a pain in the ass than he is worth, and probably doesn't HAVE a good side...I would find a different club if I were you.

    i'm like you, i always manage to be a few minutes late and my club charges a $15 late fee. I personally don't agree with it, but I always make up for it. $75 definitely sounds like a bit much, is this a really good club and are you making a lot of money? If not I would find somewhere else

    I would get out of this club...I cannot work at clubs where management treats their girls like complete shit...That crosses a line with me...Get out of there is what I would do personally..I have left clubs before where the owners were clearly not looking out for me..I quit and had no interest in going back..The money for me, in those places where oddly the owners/managers were shitty to me was non existent so it was no loss to me...

    the $ is good there & I even wouldve paid the steep fine if it wasnt for him disrespecting me the way he did. But yea after knowing the management at my club thinks so poorly of strippers I will not go back there. I can work elsewhere& make good $$ & not be disrespected at all. Id rather just not deal with people like this ever! I mean hes no better than us he makes his $$ askin us to pay fines for the owner. and i feel like if he has a problem with what we do he just shouldnt work around us.

    One club where I work we start work at 9 and have to be in the club for quarter to.
    If we get there between 845 and 9 , we pay a £10 fine. We're charged another £10 if we're late AND not ready by 9.
    If we are late and still ready by 9, we still pay the late fee which I think's bollocks lol.
    If we arrive later than 9 we're charged £20, later than 9:30, £30, it keeps going up....

    BUT this guy just sounds like a dick-and if you were only a few minutes late $75 is WAY too high !

    Well its started as a 25 $ fee then I worked a day aftr that&nobody asked me for fine $$ then the next day they told me its 75 $ so this is when I told manager there was no $$ 4 me to make the night I was fined which is y I didn't pay the night I was fined. There was no $$ to be made this night cuz there's wernt alotta custies&too many girls&they were doin extras somethin I dnt do. Plus I didn't even wanna work this night to begin with. The owner foced me 2 work it. So I made these points to the manager&after doin so he says "ok fees gone up to 100 $!" He was just rediculous..

    what he is doing is not probably legal, no.not in most states. but that's strip clubs for you.mine is like that too with fees. as for his attitude, one of my managers also treats us like shit although i don't think he would go that far with verbal abuse! i say find a different club, they are all going to have their hand out for money but you shouldn't be attacked like that.

    I've worked clubs where they try to make girls pay high door fees ($75-$100 on weekends... in TEXAS!), pay $50 for missing any weekday shifts (and you need 3-4 a week... which means you work 5-6 shifts a week with weekends), and then bitch after you've paid to try and get more money out of girls!
    I worked one club for two weeks before they even told me about the 3-4 shifts a week (with a schedule) and both weekend nights policy. The last shift, I paid $200 to the house and walked with $400 after an 8 hour shift (the night was slow). Needless to say, I never went back. My home club is way better, and I was just looking for a side club to work weekends and a few extra weekday shifts a month.
    I've also worked a club in which I'd gotten five dances on a dead night... I was the hottest dancer there by any stretch of the imagination. What does the manager do? Instead of trying to convince me to come back, he asks me for money and mentions that I'm the hottest dancer there!!!! I told him I only made $100, and he told me to learn how to make money as a dancer before coming back. He's been fired since then, but I found out that was an extras club. Instead of seeing how the customers reacted to me on stage on all the nights I'd worked, he saw my hotness as a reason to exploit me and pressure me to do extras.
    My rule is this: if the money isn't 100+/hr on good nights, any little bs from a manager keeps me from going back AND I tell every other hot dancer I know what happened. I work at a big club, so hopefully, my bad reviews travel lol
