    Default defensive stage sharing

    VENT. i work @ a club where on busy nights we throw 3 girls onstage at a time (3 separate poles). for the most part it's been manageable -- you dance 3 songs, when the first and second song are nearing the end (DJ will signal it), you scoop up the money on your part of the stage and put it aside or you could kinda bunch it up and bring it to the other pole with you, it sounds weird I know, but manageable. at times though, this can be a complete CLUSTERFUCK, especially when customers make it rain and their intention is only to do it on one girl up there. so the other night I was in my second song and did some floorwork in front of these guys who were sitting at a part of the stage that was pretty much dead on between two poles -- there was NO MONEY there so i assumed that the girl who danced before me (and was on her third and final song) had already scooped whatever they had tipped her and put it aside. so they clearly tip ME about 20 singles and I scoot myself back over to my pole -- as the song was nearing the end I see her going for the money -- because i'm not a greedy bitch and i'm accustomed to the confusion of this stage set up, i reach for some cash at the same time and say "Hey hon, we're gonna split this." to which she gives me a serious dirty look and says "Um. Well they were here before." basically implying that the tips were hers from a previous song (even though I knew they weren't). I didn't even say shit, just took half and quickly started my last song. Occurrences like that happen so fast that they're not worth resolving later in the dressing room, so I know from this point on that chick is just not gonna like me. Which sucks cause I feel like that was the best way for me to react and I thought it was pretty damn reasonable. Meh.

    scoop your money as you go. put as much in your garter or thong and scoop the rest whenever you move 2 or more feet. I always do this even if im dancing by myself, it makes for a quick exit and when im sharing the stage there is never a question.

    That's bull. Dumb bitch.

    I always immediately pull mine into the center or to a pile on the side... We also have a 2-girl system going where the girl who is topless is generally the one getting the tips (if there is any question), and the customers usually hang onto it until you come over to let them hand it to you.

    On our main stage in particular, money tends to go EVERYWHERE, esp when a customer makes it rain, including on the floor where sm1 else can scoop it up. Support staff & even other dancers are very good abt collecting & returning it to the stage b4 anyone else can reach it. I have long had the habit of sweeping mine from the edge of the stage out of ppl's reach (& I will do this for other girls as well as I am passing by their stage), also to hasten the process of collecting it when it's time for me to step off. I hate when girls take forever to collect their money when I am coming up behind them.

    I would suggest not letting girls like this fuck with you to set a precedent for the future that you will not tolerate fuckery. When a girl at my club tries to pull some shit I will tell her bluntly but politely what the deal is and I've found this prevents repeat occurrences.

    I completely understand, you don't want to cause drama between you and another dancer because it can make work awkward. However you also don't want other dancers to think you're an easy target. If you stop this behavior the minute it happens they are unlike to try stupid stuff with you again. I have a personal policy of zero tolerance for bullshit. However whenever I call girl out on it I will be polite but to the point, I kill them with kindness. So for example if i found myself in your situation I would have said 'Sorry hun but the stage was completely empty when I came over, I earned all this money dancing for these three gentleman. If you want you can ask them yourself. So I'm not gonna be able to split this with you.' If you include facts in your reply it makes it harder for her to argue back.

    I'm very uncomfortable with confrontation so I don't usually stand up for myself especially at work. Like Holly said, it always makes me a target. Any idea how to get over this? I'd like to know before I start stripping. Also, just popped my posting cherry lol.

    Fake it til you make it. You have to start doing it even though it makes you feel really nervous and it will get much easier. Other than that you could undergo years of therapy to build your self esteem so you can handle confrontation but who the fuck has time for that.

    Also remember confrontation doesn't have to be crazy aggressive dramatic screaming etc... I think when you confront someone you should be calm and non-aggressive, just state your point and ask them not to do it again. Approaching it this way makes it a lot less daunting.

    I used to occasionally find girls would throw their tips on top of all the clothes on stage, under which was someone else's tip pile, making it impossible to tell whose was whose. In my naivety, I assumed it was an honest mistake. Often, it wasn't, and some girls would do it on purpose to scoop everything up as they left, their tips and the other girls tips included.
    Now, I keep a bit of my outfit handy, bikini top, skirt, whatever, scoop my tips, and band them up in a bit of my outfit before placing aside. That way there is no doubt it's my tips, I don't lose them, and I never get chewed out for picking up someone else's tips.
    Girls like that often do that shit on purpose to make extra $ off new or shy girls who don't wanna make waves.
