    Default Tipping hosts--how much?

    Hey all,

    Maybe you guys can give me some guidance. I work in a club with very expensive VIP rooms and frequent extras. The hosts have their favorite VIP girls, and they'll pull them into rooms with their high spending customers. They'll also actively try to prevent other girls from getting rich customers into rooms. It's all very political, and I totally get it, but I've heard varying opinions from different girls about whether or not to tip the VIP host.

    Basically if I sell a room on my own, and all the host does is put me in the right room, I don't usually tip. As is, my cut is less than half of the cost of the VIP room. I'm not trying to be greedy, but I don't understand why I should tip the host 20% of my earnings from the room just for being there. I absolutely want to help the people who help me, but if the hosts aren't helping me sell extra time, extra alcohol or get me tips, why should I be paying them? My customers always tip the hosts very well. On the other hand, if a host hooks me up with a courteous customer, I'm more than happy to tip.

    What do you ladies do? I've heard some girls never tip. Other girls give the VIP hosts over half their earnings from the room whether or not they help out. Is there a "correct" policy?

    I tip generously the first couple times i start somewhere new. To start fresh and see whats up with the employees. Then, if they give attitude, don't help out and play favorites (as most do IME) and in your case even prevent others from getting rooms, I do not tip. I was told to tip the dj and bouncers. I always tip the dj and one bouncer who helps me, is kind and walks me out, but I don't tip the other one. He's rude, never around, and acts like the dancers are beneath him.

    Sorry if that's wrong but they get paid hourly, we don't. I don't tip when you're rude and I don't tip if you literally don't do anything for me there. And no way in hell I'd give a host half my earnings from a room! And I don't tip if all they did was walk me there.

    Well, how is your lack of tipping working out for you? Do you pull you out of rooms or otherwise prevent you from making money? If not, keep doing what you're doing -- especially if you're getting your customers to tip them for you. It sounds like the main reason girls in this club are tipping the hosts is to look the other way for extras, and since you don't need this added service, it stands that you don't need to pay for it. Of course, if you find that they're fucking with your money, then maybe you do need to start tipping out of your own cut even when they don't do anything for you, simply to keep them from going something against you -- that is sadly the case in many clubs.

    What Shanna said. It's very likely that the hosts are picking specific girls because those are the girls who provide extra services, and those girls tip the hosts more to allow them to. They also probably are charging more for the room than you are. If this rings true, keep doing what you're doing. If you're certain that extras never happen in your club, start tipping more and see what happens.

    I tip anywhere from $60-400 per night to my floor guys depending on how helpful they were. They play favorites (luckily I'm one of them) and totally hook me up so it is worth it. Example: One night they pulled me into a 2 hour ViP where I walked with about $1450 Just from that one room (the club takes a percentage from credit cards) so I gave them $400. I would not have met the customer otherwise because he just told the floor guys to pick someone out. If the sale was already made for me I give them more, if I had to work for that sale I wold have only given them $200. I typically tip them 10-15% of my totall earnings.

    FYI I don't do extras. The staff at my club are not a fan of extra girls and expect a much higher percentage than 15% from them.

    AlenaRoza, I once worked in a club where neither the hostess nor the FOH personnel got paid: just tips.
