    Default what do you guys think of this? Tipping situation...

    Ok, I'm working at my summer club because they were kind enough to let me skip stage because of my wrist ( there's 3 stages). Whenever I come in town everyone is really nice and say where have you been yada, yada, The guys( I don't know what you call them) they are outside all night. I've seen them carry in girls bags( never mine) and when I came with another stripperwebber they'd walk us to a cab at the end of the night. We would take turns tipping 5 bucks. The one guy is super nice. He's giving me a ride to my hotel before when there wasn't a cab. So I've been going in with a local girl. The first night he didn't even greet me. I gave him 7 dollars and she tipped him too. He didn't say thanks. so I ask her what his problem was when we were driving in the next night and she's like you really wanna know. Well they say you don't tip good and you of all people, because you make so much should tip really well. Um I really don't know his job description but he doesn't do anything. Tip out at the club is 50 during the week and 80 on weekends. I tip the DJ between 40-60 ( because even when I don't have permission to be off stage he works with me and were supposed to tip the bar 5% of our earnings. Wtf is that. I've worked for other cubs in this corporation and they don't do that. in fact I've never worked at a club that did. I usually throw the bar a 20. I mean is this cheap? I'm most concerned about the guy outside. I think 5 is adequate. My gf said she gives them 10. She's only been dancing 6 months and they told her to give them that. that makes me furious to take advantage of new girls. I said he doesn't even valet your car! She said he usually does but he didn't the two nights we've gone in. Thoughts.

    Just off the bat, it sounds like they automatically expect $, just cause?

    I don't know. Our contracts say tipping isn't required but try that. They've always been super nice when I give them a 5. Last time I was her with a girl and we were suppose to take turns and she said she tipped them when it was her turn but maybe she didn't. i mean she was giving the dj 10 and he was complaining. You think 5 is fair?

    If the guy valets your car (& doesn't do dumb shit like leave windows down, 'forget' to lock or go poking thru closed compartments) & helps w/ your bags, esp if you're practically hauling around a steamer trunk, I'd say that's worth $5 from each of you (you + travel buddy or local dancer buddy). Is he seeing you up the block to find a cab or are you guys in a good location & cabs are easy to have come right up? I ask bc my home club in DC was on the outer skirt of a busy tourist district & it was often easier for them to walk me one or two blocks in either direction to hit decent cab traffic at 4am. If he is doing smtg like that, then he deserves more bc he is being taken from other club duties for a longer time in order to see to your safety.

    You say you've worked at this club, I am assuming multiple times since most of the staff seem so open toward you. Is this guy new since you were last there? Could just be that he has a bug up his ass too. I believe in tipping ppl well when they help me, & very well when they help me lots & I can afford it, but don't get me wrong, I do not believe in rewarding bad behaviour. Would it not be possible to take this guy aside & see what his 'problem' is, or if he even has one?

    When I was here and took cabs they were in the parking lot so he didn't have to go far just whistle one over. Since I've been driving in with a girl who lives here he hasn't valet the car and he only carried our bags in the first night. I think they look for naive girls and he knows I'm not one. My gf said he told her well we protect you. Lol. They aren't bouncers and their outside all night. I believe it may have been when I was here last time. i don't think the other girl was tipping him on her day to. and he didn't know we were taking turns. just like when we'd take a cab in I would tip 3-4 dollars on a 12 ride and she's give exact amount. I'd say something but then he's going to know my gf told me. So Idk.

    If all he does for you is hail you a cab or walk you to one, I think $5 is more than enough. If he's unhappy because he hasn't been able to train you to tip him more for doing fuck all, tough. He's making enough off the new girls who don't know any better. It's not like he can affect your earnings anyway.

    Yeah. I'm kinda training this girl how to hustle. She only made 40 last night and 300 the night before. And she wants to start traveling with me. I told her, a tip is earned. Like we have to earn our money. Don't just let them bully you into giving them more than they deserve. I'm also sick of because I make a lot here they seem to think their entitled to my money. I really like this club ( which is rare) but when she said they were talking shit about me. I'm like WTF, I tip good and fair.

    Yea, what you think is fair, (&, I'm sure it is)..but they always feel entitled to more!
    I worked @ one place, the bar tender would NOT stfu about me tipping him.
    That other club you liked, (it's torn down now) the mgr. screamed @ me for like 15 mins. after a shift, over 10 for the bouncers..

    I tip all of my bouncers at least $5 if I make a minimum amount of money. More if I get drunk and happy. These guys are constantly cleaning the club, running money or drinks for the VIP/Champange room, DJ takes very good care of me stage-wise, always keeping an eye out for cell phones(no phones inside the club policy) or customers acting dumb, and escort EVERY dancer to their car. If I happen to use the club cab (the club has a cab driver that they pay on Fri and Sat to shuttle customers and dancers) I will tip him or buy him breakfast. I'm also at a divey bar where very few dancers even think about tipping, so a few bucks goes a long way.

    I agree with Shanna though. Minimal work gets a minimal tip. If he is going out of his way to drive you and that girl, I would have given him a few extra bucks. But if he can't even say thank you, I wouldn't give him shit.

    I always tip the guys who take care of me, I don't really care what they think of my tips or whether or not they expect them, I just like to take care of someone who takes care of me. If you never tip them, and they are used to being tipped, I understand why they get upset. If they are not satisfied because of the amount of the tip, they should be grateful to have gotten anything at all, because many girls can't afford to tip or are too stingy to tip.

    It doesn't sound like these guys have much clout with staff that actually can help you make money. I wouldn't stress it unless they're tight with hosts.

    I wouldn't give a single fuck about these guys. I know my house mom hates my guts because I always tip her the bare minimum but guess what..? She doesn't do shit for me. She doesn't help me get dances or rooms, she doesn't clean up after me and I don't use any of her wipes, sprays or any of the other shit she brings in. I'm basically giving her $5 in charity. Sounds the same with these valets or whatever they are. If they don't help you make money, why the fuck should you tip them more or tip them at all? If they don't like it they can go find a better job.

    I always tip the guy who walks me the 3-4 FQ blocks to my car $5. Maybe $10 on a great night but probably not. I will however tip at least 10% finder's fee to whoever helps me actually make money in the club whether floor guy/ waitress or if a dancer is a big hustler and talks the guys into spending more money/time than I know I would have got alone. Other than that there should be 0 guilt. The club pays everyone except the dancers. At smaller clubs I find they make the dancers give the floor guys at least $5 in addition to tipping out the dj. But could you imagine if you had to tip $5 to every floorguy or host in a larger club?
    I think what happened is maybe some of the Diva egos might be rubbing off on him. Like he might have gotten $10 and $20 tips from a couple of the girls so now he feels he's worth at least that much from everyone and any less is insulting.

    It sounds like these guys are just whiny and feel privileged to a higher cut of your earnings.

    Tipping is something they should be more thankful for. It could be worse and nobody tipped them. But that's not the case as you describe.

    I myself like to tip beyond what is required especially when I earn a lot more than expected or I feel someone went beyond job requirements to help me out. But complaining that you're not tipping enough is kinda tacky to me considering the fact that you are tipping and others are tipping too.

    At my club, tipping was 'done away with' and replaced by higher VIP cuts for the club (even though the staff didn't get that money) So when I tipped my favorite DJ's, even if I could only give them $5, they would be beaming! They were so grateful they would hug me cause I was the ONLY girl who tipped. IMO if a DJ/staffer is awesome and helps you you should tip regardless of club norms but I digress...

    It really pisses me off that those guys tricked the new girl into giving them more money. So sleazy. It's great that you are helping her... In fact, she should completely stiff them from now on just for doing that.

    His anger is misplaced and is just a ploy to try and get more $$ from you. He is pretty stupid for thinking that getting all pissy is going to work -especially for someone like you who has been in the game and sees through all that crap

    Yeah. There are girls that have worked there for years and he saves the 3 front spots for them and there's more but I don't wanna say here. I travel and work at a lot of clubs so I come in june-sep for 8 days each trip. I'm here now because they are letting me skip stage( I have a broken wrist.) I've worked at 3 doll house chains and we have 4-5 bouncers and you have to give them 5 each. At vip chicago you have to give 20% to the vip host and by the way they don't hook you up. I've given them 3-600. Joke.

    Just to clerify, this club doesn't have bouncers. we do have 5 directors working but no bouncers. We don't have vip hosts either. Our waitresses run our suits. And this guy is outside all night. He literally wistled a cab over and zi gave him 5. I get him and the other guy confused because they look alike but he was nice.I really think it was when I was here last time, I don't think my gf was tipping him. I'm very generous if someone helps me. I mean I give the dj 50 most nights and I don't even go on stage.

    At my club, tipping is really up to our discretion, but you are expected at least tip House Mom and the DJ. I usually tip at least $10 to each, dependent on how good my night was. I also just realized that I should also tip the floor manager/dance counter if he's helpful with getting us good customers.

    I agree with you, michele11, that a tip is earned. One of the bouncer/managers I love, the other one is a lazy sleazeball and I will NEVER tip him. I don't drive, so I also never tip the valet/bouncers.

    associating with her they probably lumped you into the category with her and assumed you wouldn't or don't tip.

    I had a friend I used to dine out and eat dinners with and we would always split the bill however this dumb broad never tipped because she was cheap as hell. I knew I wouldn't be able to change her mind about tipping service workers so I just left extra tip to make up for stinginess. But after a while it got old and I stopped dining out with her.

    Plus I didn't want to be lumped into the category of black people don't tip so I stopped going out to eat with her.

    Fuck that shit ^ These "staff" people feel so entitled to our hard earned money when they rarely do anything to earn it. I don't ever tip anyone except the dj & he gets the minimum at that (unless he plays what I want , then I'm more giving)! They never try & help me so why bother with them? I don't give two shits if they gossip about it behind my back to others either bc it's like someone else said ^ they're taking advantage of most if not all of us. I hustle on the main floor, I always make my own money & never have anyone's help when doing so, they can kiss my ass! Michelle11, I would say screw it & go about making your money If these assclowns can't be greatful for a tip then they don't deserve it to begin with!
