I had a whole novel typed out but I’m just gonna get straight to the point.
The club I’m at now
Pros
-5 minutes away from home
-cheap house fees
-Flexible scheduling
-Dayshift so I can do doubles
-They let me get away with a lot of shit like never going on stage when it’s empty, never taking my top off, and throwing drinks on customers (which is what I did last night).
-can be on the same schedule as the boyfriend
Cons
-DIRTY DIRTY EXTRAS DIRTY. SOOO DIRTY
-Bouncers do not do their job at all
-The customer is always right.
-bartenders cause a lot of drama and steal money and drinks
I’ve been drugged at this club and management did nothing.
Am constantly molested and again nothing.
And honestly what happened last night really wasn’t that big of a deal but I think I was just so pissed off with how the club handled it that I grabbed all my shit and walked out.
A customer offered to buy me a drink. The bouncer actually overheard the conversation and when the drink gets there the customer refuses to pay. This normally wouldn’t have bothered me but he starts giving me a load of shit, he and his friends start insulting me (I mean some really nasty shit), so I decide to teach them a lesson and grab the beer out of his hand and throw it on his face and take my drink and throw it on his phone in his lap.
They get mad and I go to both bouncers and tell them to kick them out. Instead the bouncers do nothing and they’re allowed to stay and they even get free drinks. The manager tells me downstairs that they’re not obligated to buy me a drink and that they’re still making money for the bar. I then tell him I’m aware of that but if they offer to buy me a drink and then refuse to pay it’s not my fault. Then I proceed to list all the nasty shit they said to me. Then I also remind him that they had three beers and were sitting in the cheap seats nursing them. The manager then tells me the customer didn’t deserve to get his drinks thrown on him. EXCUSE ME? Did you not hear what he said to me?! He’s lucky he didn’t get slapped or a heel to the balls. At that point I assume I’m fired so I tell him I’m getting my stuff, say bye to the housemom who I love so much, and get ready to walk out.
Then get this. The bouncer felt sorry and went down and spoke to both the manager and her and said he overheard the entire conversation and everything I said was true. He also vouched for how the guys treated me and felt sorry I had to put up with that type of verbal abuse. So all of a sudden there’s a change of heart and I’m told I’m not fired and it’s not a big deal. I appreciate the bouncer coming down to stick up for me but WTF why didn’t u stick up for me up there?!
Honestly I don’t know why they don’t fire me. They’ve fired, demoted, put on probation a ton of girls for little things. But here’s my dilemma.
I’ve started a new club an hour away.
Pros
-Way more money
-super clean
-no drink commission so no forcing girls to drink
-bouncers really do look out for you
-the customer is not always right.
Cons
-mandatory topless
-strict scheduling and fines
-you’re either nightshift or dayshift. You can’t mix and match
-one hour away
-high house fees and cab home
-lose my good regulars in my old club (they’ve already said they can’t visit me at this new club because it’s too far)
-completely opposite schedule from boyfriend
Then there’s the third option which is mix and match and work some days at my old club to keep my regulars. This one would be the hardest and most costly because instead of taking public transit to my new club I’d have to take a taxi both there and on the way home and pay a higher house fee and a fine for being late.
There’s also my pride and going back to that club makes me feel like I don’t have any self respect for myself. But there’s the convenience factor. I feel like I'm trying to leave a bad relationship.
I think I know the answer already but need that extra push. Any advice, similar stories, and words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
