I recently got hired in a more upscale club, but they had me sign a day contract & apparently all the managers have to agree or something to get me on nights. dayshift is 2pm-10pm & ive worked 3 shifts so far, the $ is alright but obviously the pace is totally different. Im in an urban tourist city so im not sure how it goes cultivating regulars.
Id been working in a dirtier club down the road doing alright as a clean dancer on nightshift. Everything there has seemed to be sliding down hill for awhile so I decided to find a club with a better reputation. Its really been a relief working at this new place & I feel really comfortable. On one of my dayshifts I ended up staying till close & could see that it has good potential. So then for another week I just started showing up for night shift. The managers didnt seem to notice, one of them actually came over & asked my name and "welcomed me to the team". (I was thinkin, lord, Management is actually nice here! This is great!) I made a bunch of $, the girls all were cool to work with, customers didnt constantly press me for extras,everything is good.
Then I go in a few days ago (Again for nightshift) and the one manager who had denied me a night contract comes over and says all the managers have tohave a meeting to give night contracts and I have to work days.
So...right now I am scrambling between pulling days at the nicer club & nights at the not so nice club, workin around 3/4 days a week. Clubs here dont schedule & now I dont know how the hell to schedule myself!
I dont see why the one manager wont put me on nights. I know they need girls for days, but im wondering if I put in enough days ill somehow "prove" myself and get nights? A seniority type of thing? (have you any of you experienced this before? Is it because its a nicer club or because its corporate?) It could be my look- the girls are pretty hot, glam Barbie type, and I am petite, dark haired, natural boobs etc, but then again ive made $ there on nights, so I figure I just have to show the manager that customers like me?
Have any of you been able to bob back & forth between workin day/night like this and maintain sanity? Should I just work days at the nicer club & stay till close sometimes pullin a double & working less days? Have any of you switched & grown to prefer dayshift? (I can see the benefit of a more normal schedule, being able to go to the post office, spend more time with my bf etc)
Trying to coordinate the options is overwhelming me, its a funny limbo, any perspectives/personal experiences?
