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.
