    Default Toy Chest

    Anyone have experience dancing at Toy Chest in Dearborn/Detroit? I'm a struggling college student, mommy of a princess(so she says and who am I to tell her otherwise :-) ), have a full-time vanilla job and all but times are getting tough again and my hours are getting cut. I was thinking about dancing at Toy Chest part-time. I've heard they offer tuition reimbursement and that they don't allow "extras" which is good because I don't want to do extras at all. I just want to dance and I need to make some extra cash.

    Toy Chest is heavy on extras. For legal reasons and the possibility of VICE reading various forums online, they will always tell you they are anti-extras. They recently removed their VIP curtains, but if you read on other forums, doing so has not stopped the extras girls from prostituting. They do require a cabaret card though.

    I worked there once, back before they took down the curtains. The money was pretty good but their vip rooms are super small and their dressing room is the size of my closet, lol.

    My sister claims she's about to start there, since a girl we went to high school with (who used to be an actual ho) claims it's non-extras except for "a couple girls." I also know some non-extras girls who migrated there from the 8 mile brothels and seem to like it. They might let you audition / work a few nights before you get your dance card, or they could be really strict. You could call and ask. Good luck!

    They will help u get the dance card. They'll loan the $ and even have a driver to take the girls to get their cards. Whether or not you do extras is up to you regardless of the club you're at but in my experience TC was NOT big on extras, but be prepared for foot fetish guys (they had foot fetish parties that drew them all in). I don't know what their day shifts are like now but when I would come in at 7 it always seemed dead. Nights were busy. If you're juggling a vanilla job, child, school (not sure about that tuition reimbursement, I never heard about that) AND dancing-good luck. I had a difficult time finding clubs that would work with me on a schedule without fining me for leaving early/showing up late/not working a minimum amount of 3 days. Shifts are from 12pm-7pm (days) and 7pm-2am (nights).

    I work at tc now and let's just say business is bad. Guys don't come in anymore because of the curtains, which is very frustrating. Also when I tell a guy we don't do extras or I dont, they get up and leave. I think every single club in Detroit and Dearborn should take their curtains down and reinforce on the anti extra law or vice should start cracking down. tc was really good in the summer but I worked on a Saturday night and nobody was there. Though.... They are going to make changes to the whole bar. They're gonna have new stage, new sign, new carpet I think?? And this is gonna be done after thanksgiving. I would say try out tc if u haven't danced before so u can get use to it, then maybe go to another club that doesn't have curtains. Bouzouki doesn't have curtains and I'm about to try out there cuz tc has no customers as of now

    My sister works at Toy Chest and is always complaining that business is bad. However, business has been awful at Bouzouki these last few weeks. It's terribly slow for November. Legends around the corner jas also been slow. This time last year I was making like a grand on average. The last month or so my average hasn't even been close to that.

    If things don't pick up within a week I'm traveling out ofnstate.

    This thread really should be in club chat. nbd though.

    I worked at Toy Chest this past August and it was terrible (though I was only there 3 weeks). Believe it or not, the curtains HAVE gotten rid of extras. I was asked maybe 3 times in 7 shifts to suck/fuck. Problem is, no extras customers means no customers period.

    I was there one Monday, 19 dancers (half black/half white) and only 5 customers before midnight when I left (arrived at 6). On Fridays, there were never more than 4 VIP booths taken. It was sad. A lot of the girls talked about $150-200 as a good night. I was lucky enough to walk out with 350+ 5 of the 7 nights. Only upside is their tipout for being on time for night shift (7) is only $15 (+10 housemom and 6 or 7 valet).

    Fwiw, August is one of the months in Detroit.
