    Default crappy audition...feel like i was hired and unhired

    I live in NYC and decided to start dancing in a city club after a long-ish break. I went to Sapphire's prepared when the bouncer stops me and says I need my ss card and id card. I pull out my passport and said I know my social security number but don't have the card with me (long story). He seemed annoyed but calls the manager and then looks at my passport says, "Wait, who is this person?" I say that the photo is from last year when i had a pixie cut (my hair is shoulder length now). I thought maybe he was joking around but then he says, "Are you even a citizen?" I'm so suprised but I really wanted to try out here so I say yes. The manager came and the bouncer was telling him that my passport isn't real while I say politely that it's my only photo id but might have other id with me. The bouncer keeps saying they can't take it because it's fake. He hands me the passport and I realize there was a smudge on my birth year. I wipe it off and the manager lets me in.

    I get changed and the housemom asks me where I worked. She made copies of my passport, explained the rules, then asked me if I could work tomorrow and Saturday. I said yes and she took down my number. Then I went on stage and I barely took my dress off when the manager told me to get dressed. She said sorry, thanks for coming but we're not interested. I asked if she could say why and she said, "He only tells me yes or no."

    I just don't...get it. I've worked in 5 city clubs and thought they tell you they're not interested right away, or at least before making a schedule. My friend says that maybe the bouncer recognized me or that they really thought my id was fake. I'm feeling upset about it because I had a good feeling about this place before.

    I'm sorry that happened..I'm in Chicago but it happened to me too. I was all ready in the dressing room, the mgr. came in & told me to forget it. That club's now gone though. Eh, these people are mostly flaky at best.
    I would just try another club, & if you wanted to, maybe after a time, you could go back to Saph, when another mgr.'s working? Good luck don't let it get you down.

    That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Many management decisions are arbitrary and even nonsensical, so don't take this personally. If you've really got your heart set on this club, go back on a different shift in a few weeks, but really I'd just recommend trying out a different club.

    When I auditioned they did not take my info until after the audition. Then I got on that little stage and the owner said get undressed really quick I did and they ushered me down then my gf went and they said tell her to take her clothes off alreadty. Then they tookj us in the back and said we were hired. We waited forever for the housemom who took us in a room and video tapped us while telling us the rules. They didn't ask a schedule we came in when we want which was 1 shift because I didn't like it and went to Ricks.

    Strip clubs are crazy disorganized. The house mom could have assumed you were back there because you'd already been hired. Who knows. If you really love the place and want to try again, go back , have two I.D's on hand , and try a different manager a few weeks later. Sometimes you've got to be aggressive.

    This feb will be 2 years. Idk if they still do it or not. She was all like sit close and act like you like each other. Wtf. She said no one would see it , it was just for their records? Weird. I kept rolling my eyes because the girl I was with kept asking more questions and prolonging it. I'm sure the housemom saw. Lol.

    ^ Um we sat on a couch while she told us the rules. Chicago takes a pic of your ass and tits( everynight) at a club in the city since they changed the ordinance that you have to cover your whole tit with latex and your whole ass needs to be covered( for legal reasons). This club use to be scores east so....

    Probably for legal purposes they did it.
    I got audio recorded at Cheetah which has a history of being raided.
