    Default Would you risk it?

    I have to live at my parents' house and I would like to make some money. I was thinking of just working in this city on the weekends but I'm scared my step brother and his friends will come in or something. I'm not really scared about my dad because he's quite cheap lol. Would you risk it and work there? The other option is going to a club about 45 minutes-1 hour away and then I would have to pay for the train etc.

    what would you do

    For me, it would depend on the chance they would come in. Like do you know that is he an avid strip club goer? If so, personally I prob wouldn't. Not sure how big the club is but at one of my old clubs I showed the doormen a pic and names of a couple guys I didn't want to come in while I was on shift. They were only denied once in 2 years tho.

    For your piece of mind it may be best to endure the drive, especially if the money potential is worth it.

    I have no idea if he goes to strip clubs or not tbh. I was thinking of wearing loads of makeup and fake lashes and hoping for the best???
    I don't drive I would have to take public transport

    Ugh, an hour is kinda long to be on public transport. Maybe just try it and see if you feel comfortable enough that nerves won't mess with your hustle. On the plus side, experienced strippers tend to be great at knowing what's going on almost all the time. Like which customers are coming in, leaving, getting dances, etc.

    One of the best ways to combat this possibility IMO, is to turn it right back round on them if they come in & they or other family give you shit abt it

    'I am doing this to earn a living, rather than be a mooch, & improve myself & build my financial security. WTF are YOU/THEY doing here?'

    Choose your club based on income potential, not the hypothetical whims of hypocritical Drama Llamas.

    Unfortunately I can't really say that. I mean I could but it wouldn't really hold up. Even my mother knows that I have been to a strip club before. Lots of people go to a strip club for a laugh and leave. Plus they'll just ask me why I didn't just get a normal job (because I can I just think stripping is more fun).
    I'm thinking I might just wear lots of makeup etc and be on aware of who is walking in the club. Maybe even ask if I can give them a picture of him so if he comes in they don't let him in.

    I'm only going to work at this club for about 4 weekends if that. I'm also pretty sure this city is the only place that has strip clubs (there's 2) in a 20-30 mile radius.

    Personally, I'm out and proud so I wouldn't give a damn. If it's possible to be out about your job, I feel like it helps a lot. If that's not possible, then I'd head to the other club.
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    I totally agree with Aniela. But I understand what you're going through Newb2. One of the reasons I stopped working at one club is because a friend of my family keeps coming in there and it's not good. It's a hard call. I think it also depends on how your family will react. And how much you need to work. You could try it and if your brother comes in then deal with it then

    Could you work day shift when your brother is least likely to show up? Also, if you are working days, no one will suspect you're a stripper.

    Unfortunately there are no clubs open in the day anywhere near where I live.

    from personal experience, I would say go to the club further away. You will get used to the commute. I worked at the closest club to me for a few years (30 minute drive) and my uncle saw me there after me being there for 3 years and told my whole family and ruined my life for a few months. If you can't imagine dealing with that, then go to the further club.

    Could you talk to management about it proactively and see what they would do in a situation like that.

    I worked at a club 15 miles from my tiny hometown for 4 years. I saw tons of people I knew. It generally wasn't a big deal, but once my uncle and cousin came in, and I ran to the dressing room, got another dancer to get the manager and explain the situation, and they let me hang out in the dressing room until he left. Then a big group of guys went to the VIP room so another dancer loaned me a wig and the bouncer walked me up to VIP "hiding" me and I stayed there until my relatives left. They never knew.

    A couple years later I saw that uncle and told him about it - we're really close now - and he just laughed about it. He was as embarrassed as I was. You might ask management if they'd do something like that if you needed to "hide".

    ^^ this is great advice, however I would like to note, I asked my club the same questions before I started working there and felt confident about it. HOWEVER when my uncle came in they basically said that was my problem. You can't always expect people to follow through with what they say they are going to do. Just keep that in mind in your decision.
