So, I live in Charlotte NC and I don’t know if it’s been this way everywhere else but we’re in the middle of the worst drought I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure if it’s because of backpage shutting down or because of the season , but I went from making hundreds to literally leaving with $10-30 a night almost overnight.. we even had a golf tournament in town this week and even that didn’t make business any better
Not only that, but when the rush DOES hit it’s usually at 12:30-1 am (as is standard for most places ) but because of the extra slowness lately there’s literally NOTHING to do before that time. I mean the same 3 guys who are either time wasters or regulars will be sitting in the same spot with either their girl of choice or a beer. Usually there’s at least some guys to talk to and try to hustle money from but lately it’s just been sitting around and waiting for 4 hours on people to come in. (I always come in early because I don’t like to pay high tip out fees)
my question is how do you keep your spirits up during this waiting game ..? It’s like by the time guys get here I’m already sick and tired of thebplace and ready to leave. Even sitting around can sap your energy when you’re a dancer , I feel, because the other girls / the environment can be so negative especially when girls are running around screaming about how they aren’t making any money and it’s dead. It’s hard not to let this energy affect you.
We aren’t allowed to get onstage and practice pole tricks or anything even if it’s slow, and there’s not really a quiet place to sit either! The DR is always full of those dreaded bad attitude girls and so is the outside smoke area. I don’t like to sit on the floor because when customers come in it’s not a good look to be sitting doing nothing. help please ! I need to figure out how to keep my spirits high
