    Default Do you lock things up at your club?

    I remember talking to a friend about auditioning and saying "Damn, I don't have a lock yet, I have to get one before I audition" and she said, at her club, they don't put locks on lockers because no one steals. I thought that was nuts. I ALWAYS heard to bring a lock and to watch your stuff because someone can snatch it.

    So, just wondering, do you lock things up at your club? Or is my friend just in a club of angels?

    It all depends on the club you work at. I definitely recommend buying one anyway though, better safe than sorry. At my club I leave mine unlocked during my whole shift but always lock it at the end of the night before I leave. Never have had a problem, yet, I am on good terms with all of the girls and know most of them very well.

    Many girls at my club leave their phones out, lockers unlocked, purses out, makeup and clothes out. All kinds of crap. Not to say it doesnt get get stolen every once in a while. Its like that though because its usually not a problem. I always lock my stuff up, no sense in getting too comfortable leaving things out.

    Most of the clubs I've worked at have lockers and most girls keep their things locked up, though many will often leave them unlocked during shifts or at least during stage sets. Maybe that's just our trusting Canadian nature?

    Of course, the two clubs I worked at in Europe didn't have any lockers - girls just left their bags on a counter and that was that. One even had bins for girls to keep their things in when they weren't in. These clubs had small rosters of girls though, so they were fairly close-knit environments.

    I always lock my stuff up. If the club has lockers, you better believe I click it and check that it is closed. If there are no lockers I use a bag with two zippers and a TSA lock to link the two zippers so that they can't be opened. I leave nothing to chance...

    It's partially because I don't want anyone to accidentally take my property. The other aspect is that I do not want any random person putting anything questionable into my bag/locker/purse etc.

    Depends on the club.
    Some clubs have lockers and everyone is assigned one when they start. I've had deposits taken off me for locker keys and the locker itself, I've always got it back apart from one club that closed down and nobody got their deposit back lol.
    some clubs have lockers and you have to bring your own lock.
    Some girls have bags with a lock on the actual bag.
    The club I work in normally, no lockers at all and girls just dump their shit in the strippyroom and I've only had one experience of things being stolen, when new girls came in and left and didn't come back-then again who's to say it was them, it could be a regular girl taking advantage knowing they'd get the blame?But it totally depends on the club.
    When you're new,if there aren't lockers that lock I'd say try to keep anything of value or importance on your person, carry a little purse and put your car key/cash/cashcard/phone in it.
    I sometimes have commuted and had my laptop on me and I've either locked it in my car or tipped a bouncer to put it in his bag for me. Thankfully I don't have to do that at my usual club now.
    I also have had things nicked just for spite!I was at a club a few months back and had my jacket stolen -and because I'm an idiot it had my cashcard in the pocket!I had to cancel the card, stupid thing is, I was in my scruffs when I arrived at work- the jacket that was stolen was a faux leather thing that I'd had about 3 years and was only £40 when new, why the hell anybody would want it I've no idea-obviously just somebody wanting to piss me off!lol

    I don't at my club....there are cameras in the dressing room, but the main reason is that all of us dancers get along and wouldn't steal from each other. We have lockers but I don't see the point if you trust your coworkers. I just leave my money in my backpack but most girls just leave in on the counter..

    Lock up your stuff

    Otherwise one day you'll find someone stole your shit.
    And even if its locked don't leave anything valuable lying around. Even if you trust your coworkers.
    I trusted my coworkers and the lock on my locker. Two hours later my locker was broken into and my wedding ring stolen.

    Lock up your shit and don't leave anything valuable alone. Ever.

    Better safe than sorry. Even if you know and like all your coworkers, all it takes is one unknown entity to swipe something. I'd rather be cautious than too trusting and screwed over later.

    This exactly. ^^^ It just takes one person with sticky-fingers to ruin your day. Even if it is an honest mistake, even if it is a momentary lapse in judgement, even if it is anything... people may use you things or misplace your things. Just keep your property stored away.

    I always have a lock. I am on good terms with girls who have been working at my club for a long time and I have been dancing at the same place for a year but there's so many new girls recently. I prefer to be safe.

    Default Re: Do you lock things up at your club?

    Depends. The 1st club I ever worked at only had a max of 5 girls working. I never locked anything. I would keep my money in my locker and never locked it. I worked at another club that had 8 didn't lock things up there either. The club I worked at that had 40 girls working, yeah sure did. I couldn't always get a locker out of town, but I had a suit case lock.

    I guess this totally depends on the club. We all leave our money laying around, our makeup and clothes and valuables out, and are quite generous with letting people borrow whatever they need. We had a new girl who came in and called us stupid for leaving our stuff out, and it kinda made me realize that clubs like this are probably the exception and not the rule.

    Default Re: Do you lock things up at your club?

    I always put my stuff locked in a locker and keep my key on me in my little clutch that I carry around... even if it seems like the club I'm at is full of respectable girls, I just can't put it passed people I don't know very well. I can assume that a lot of girls who dances are very money oriented, but I can't assume that they all make their own money and wouldn't take things from me if the opportunity arose. Plus, I live in Detroit, which has a lot of extras girls and girls from trashy areas who carry themselves in a trashy way. If they're doing extras for money and have no class, I definitely wouldn't trust them with my stuff! Sure, the clubs I work at have house moms, but girls can be very shady these days so there's no taking chances.

    There was one club I worked at for a while where I didn't have a locker because there were too many girls and all the lockers were taken. In this case, I'd just zip up my dance bag and "lock" it so that the zipper couldn't be unzipped, and keep my bag literally two feet from where the housemom sits. A girl would really have to carry my bag out of the club and cut it open to get into my stuff. And that was the trashiest club I've ever worked at.
