Ok, so in my club it is optional to tip the bouncers (but highly encouraged). I've been tipping $5 - $15 a shift depending on the cash Ive made that night. Last shift I had the one bouncer I'm not so fond of, ask me how much I made during a pretty casual conversation. I made the stupid mistake of telling him that I had earned about $250 and stated that I felt it was not a great amount, but decent.
He laughed and said, "Oh thats so cute. Well I guess thats a decent amount for you considering your still a rookie." (Seriously Im considering never going in fri - sun just so I can avoid this guy.)
Anyway, at the end of my shift he tells me, "Give me $25 (10% of what I made) and Ill go grab the manager so you can leave." I kind of brushed him off and got the manager myself while handing $7 to the other bouncer. He thanked me and has always been sweet like every bouncer there with the exception of the one mentioned earlier. I paid my house fee ($20) and left for the night.
So my question is... am I short changing the bouncers? How much do you give to your bouncers?

Gawd, the tips strip club staff get compared to the tips of the average staff!- its the lack of gratitude that oozes off them that would turn me off
