Hello ladies!
I am posting this out of curiosity, and also because I want to gain some perspective. I have a male friend who is a DJ in our local club circuit. He claims that he helps the girls make all of their money. Fact: the newer girls need to be educated on tipping protocol, and sometimes they are just too broke to tip the DJ more than 10 (weekday min) or 20 (weekend min). This particular DJ works at a dive in a small southern city where all of the local clubs treat the girls like poo... like they owe the club. He is also very vocal about claiming his 10% from the girls.
I sort of agree with the 10% rule, and I definitely agree with the 10 & 20 dollar minimum tip out. I have my own internal standard for tipping, however, and I would like to see how it compares with other dancer's opinions and habits. I tend to tip 20 min and 10% up to 300. After that, it really just depends on the DJ, if I was even on stage, and if I had a ton of regulars or not. The most I've ever tipped a local DJ was $50, and he had earned it. When I travel, I always tip very very well, especially because the DJ's are always the so helpful and kind. But I've heard stories of some girls tipping this DJ several hundred dollars, and not because they are selling thousands of dollars in lap dances. What is going on here?
How do you tip your DJ? What are your club's standards? What conditions would cause you to tip your DJ more than or less than 10% of your total?
Thanks!
