I've been a cocktail waitress at a small gentlemen's club for 2 months now. I've lately only been making $60-80 per night, some nights if I work 8 hours I'm not even making minimum wage in Massachusetts. My $2.63 an hour goes straight to taxes. My customers usually tip me a couple bucks each but the younger customers most of the time don't tip at all, and Sun-Thurs its 18+ and the crowd is young.
Has anyone ever cocktail waitressed anywhere? I feel like I'm making very little for a waitress or maybe its just me? I do my job fine and I'm pretty quick at getting people drinks and I am a pretty girl so I just don't get it. I'm also stressing it will just get worse in the summer. I'm thinking of trying another club if it stays like this. I've never danced or anything and I'm not planning to so I thought waitressing would be decent money. The dancers on weekends make at least $300 on a weekend night and thats toward the low end. :-/
