So yesterday my club was really dead, there is this large group of guys who comes in very regularly, 3-4 days a week. I usually just nicely say hello and stop by to chat for a minute when I have time because the group doesn't usually spend a lot of money on dances, maybe someone will take you for 2-3 songs if you sit with them for a half hour type thing. One of the older men they call "Dad" will often go for more songs, like 5+. Yesterday since there wasn't a lot going on, I decided to try hustling him since I had nothing else to do and 2 hours left on my shift. His friend, the "Boss" gave me $20 and told me to take him for one dance. He mentioned something about his limit on his card being reached but I didn't pay much attention to that since I figured he was just saying that so that I wouldn't think his friend had a lot of money and wouldn't try to get more than that one dance out of him. But since I've seen him take girls back for lots of songs I basically disregarded. Sure enough I finish my first song and he asks me to stay for another. After the second song, being a nice person, I actually got up and said "Well, I'm sure Boss won't mind that you got one extra song anyway." The guy literally pulls me back into the chair and says "Where are you going I'm not done yet." To which I say, OK, and start dancing again. It's my job to dance for people that want dances. You would have to be either stupid or a money hater to have said anything else in this situation amiright? Anyways, Dad stays back there for 10 songs all in all, after 5 I even checked with him that he had cash (or so I thought), remembering the comment about his card limit. I said "So we're at 5 songs right now and your friend mentioned something about your card limit, are you sure you're ok to keep going?" To which he said yes. I continued to remind him of our song count every 2 songs, until his friend came into the champagne room and said "That's the last one" to him. I was very confused, as I've never seen this kind of bossy behaviour before between dudes. Like, dude, your friend is his own person, he'll do what he will, back the fuck off. So I finish up, and tell Dad how much he owes, and he says he needs to go to the ATM, I say I'll meet him over by the ATM. I walk out of the champagne room and he is talking to Boss.
Boss gets super pissy at me and says "I told you to take him for one dance, here's your money count it, I don't ever want you to come over to my table again when we come in here, you got that? I don't want to ever speak to you again, we're done."
I tried to interject that staying for more than one song was not my idea, that his friend said he had money, and I was not aware that that meant HIS BOSS'S money, that I was just doing my job, etc, but he just kept yelling at me, the manager was standing right there and did nothing to back me up and just let this dude talk to me like I was some kind of badly behaved child that needed punishment. I talked to the waitress afterwards and apparently "Dad" comes in and gets really drunk and ends up in the back forever and spends all of bosses money every once in a while. This is a regular occurence I guess, and obviously Boss is getting pissed about it.
I should probably just forget about it and ignore the whole table for a while but I really hate bad blood and people being mad at me, especially when I did nothing wrong. I really would like to work out the situation if that's possible, but I probably missed my chance to defend myself when I just sat there shocked while he was yelling at me instead of yelling at him right back that all I did was my job and he was being a rude asshole, and if he doesn't want his friend to spend his money he should probably stop bringing him to the strip club if he knows he behaves like that. For fuck's sake this guy is a contractor, he should know that it's just bad business to say no to a contract when someone solicits you to do it. Jesus talk about double standards.
