    Default Weird New Club Rule

    So I've been at the mid tier for about two months, so far so good. The money was really great until the post holiday slump too, but recently it's been really slow and to make up for loss of income the club owner decided to change the rules: No more being topless onstage and we must wear full-back bottoms. We can only be topless in the VIP/lap dance area. He is supposedly doing this to avoid paying pole tax. My question to you ladies is this: has anyone else worked a club with rules like this? Is it even possible to make money with a strip club where they won't allow you to strip onstage? There's only one other club in town and it's a nude BYOB, so I have a feeling we're going to be losing a lot of customers once this goes through on Monday.
    Any advice? Should I scout for a new club (which means traveling out of town)?

    EDIT: This isn't due to a city ordinance or anything, legally in my town you can be topless without pasties and wear a regulation thong. So it's all about saving the club owner money in the long run but I have a feeling it's going to completely screw over all of the dancers that work for him.

    Hmmm that's kinda weird. My club is the opposite. It's a bikini bar but the mngr requires us to wear pasties for one song only(second song) onstage & we aren't allowed to take our tops off in the vip rooms. It's beyond pointless IMO. Our business hasn't picked up at all since they changed it either, still a stupid air dance club. Ours is due to a city ordinance thing.

    So your manager found a loop hole to avoid the pole tax.

    Go-go clubs do okay... mostly because they CAN sell liquor in the club. Some customers just don't want to BYOB.

    You'll still make money with the topless private dances... and I have found go-go customers to be good tippers on stage.

    This is good news for you as you can enjoy entice more vip sales with the benefit of being topless.

    Probably good to prevent freeloading on the main floor if this happens in your club.

    Trust guys will still tip on stage even when girls don't get topless. just wear two layers to act like you're stripping down and have something really skimpy underneath.

    Thank you guys! Tbh it just worries me since lately the customers have been really lax about stage tipping as it is and only 20% of the customers come in for dances as it is. I make a large part of my money from stage and I'm worried this will be a pretty big blow to my income. At least we still serve alcohol, there's always that to be thankful for.

    That's how it was at my club in London. I liked it. But stage tipping is pretty much non existent though.

    I've worked in a couple clubs where there was no nudity on stage but lap dances were either topless or nude and I was into it. This was in Europe, mind you, so stage tipping isn't really a thing there anyway, but I didn't find that it made patrons unwilling to buy dances. If anything, I think it makes them MORE likely because they can't just buy a beer to nurse all night so they can watch free tits/pussy on stage -- also cuts down on the amount of dudes asking to see you up on stage before buying a dance, because it's not like they'll see anything more than you show on the floor anyway.

    It might stop some guys from coming in but they might just be the customers who sit and watch and don't get dances so who cares. I feel like a lot of clubs might as well have this rule because so many guys are such shitty tippers why should any of us get topless/naked?

    Damn, I hope it works out for you, Skye! If you find your income goes down, time to switch clubs. But until then, have faith. Maybe this will make guys buy lap dances more often, like miss.a.p said.

    All the clubs in my area are like this and I've never had problems making money. Just wear more so you have something to take off on stage.

    I've never worked at a club with a rule like that, but at least guys will actually have to pay to see boobs! It could encourage more customers to get a vip. What I learned early-on in stripping is not to show too much skin - the guy needs to have a reason to take you to vop and if you're walking around wearing something that already shows your ass and boobs, what are you leaving to the imagination? I don't get why girls will walk around in a fishnet top that shows their nipples or a skimpy g-string with nothing covering it. Then what do you have to take off in the vip?

    You can make money without getting nude on stage. I worked in a very strict bikini bar and the recipe for success is just eye contact and a smile, seriously. Were you making a significant portion of your income on stage before, or was it coming from dances? Because I agree with others that this new rule will just be a great lapdance incentive. Also, for what it's worth, I think pole tricks tend to be better-received in non-nude clubs.

    I make most of my money from stage, because of my pole work and onstage energy. While I'm decent at working the floor, it isn't my forte tbh. And I work at a gown club so there's already the element of mystery when it comes to keeping covered up. I'll work the Monday shift when the rules change and see how it goes. Crossing my fingers.

    There's been a huge exodus of customers going to the nude bar in town since the rule was implemented Monday, so I guess I'm going back to the dive bar at least temporarily.
    I really need to make and save some money right now so I can't chance a bikini bar with high house fees.
