    Default Confused about tipping everyone!

    Just started at Spearmint Rhino in Vegas recently & realized I haven't tipped out to people as I'm supposed to but had some questions first. I want to make sure I tip out the right amount & the only reason I haven't is because I didn't know. Definitely don't want to be known as the girl that doesn't tip.

    - Do you tip when dropping off your car in valet to begin your shift? Or just after when they get your car after your shift? (I've been tipping $2 just when picking up my car recently not dropping off, not sure if that's enough but that's what I'm used to)

    - We checkin with the DJ at beginning of the shift & go on main stage once & 2 side stages. But make no song requests & checkout with him at the end of the night. Do we still tip the DJ or only when making requests?

    - When reading about tipping out it says tip VIP hosts 20% of what you make in VIP. All we do is say our name when we get to the VIP Room & we find our own booth so is the VIP Host the person in the VIP room taking your name? And do we give the tip before or after?

    - House mom in locker room I never see but in the restrooms even if we don't use her stuff should we tip her? I find when reading on here to tip $5-$10 but that is alot especially if I haven't really been making money yet & not even using anything.

    - Is there anyone else I should be tipping??? I never see the manager so it doesn't make sense to tip him.


    Thanks for helping this newbie out!

    When I worked at Rhino I tipped valet when picking up my car usually $5 ($10 if I had a good night).
    Checked in with the DJ beginning of the shift and to keep your ears open for when he calls you to stage; they get super irritated if you miss the stage; check out with them and tip out $15-$20 per DJ (If I didn't do so well, then $10)
    Yes, the VIP host is the person taking your name. You are not really responsible for tipping them -- the customer is. So when your customer pays with a card they'll write it on the tip line usually. I honestly dont even tip UNLESS you specifically have been approached or approach a floor guy who takes you directly to a customer. I suggest introducing yourself to all the floor guys just standing around and let them know you'll take care of them if they lead you to the right table. I only tip them after I've made money -- otherwise I let them know that it was a crapshoot but still to keep me in mind.
    I don't tip house mom unless I use her supplies. Couple bucks.
    Tip the guy who checks you out $5 (the one @ the register when you exit to the valet)
