I am currently working in San Francisco California. The working conditions are absolutely horrible for dancers here. Let me explain. You must be on a schedule work 3 days a week. Some clubs require one of those days to be a Sunday or Monday. Clubs open at 6pm. You show up 5pm-7pm and on the floor 30% of dances goes to the club. 7-8pm 40%. After 8pm 50% of dances go to the club. If you show up on days you are not scheduled 50% goes to the club no matter what time you show up. (If you are at a full nude club it's always 50%) On top of that they make you walk around with a small caboodles make up box, that they lock with a plastic zip tie. Which you're expected to put all your lap dance money into. At the end of the night they cut your plastic zip tie open and take their half and hand you yours. I find this rules absolutely crazy and it just makes for a not enjoyable work environment. Mind you the strip club industry in SF is getting slower and slower every season some nights we don't even seen 20 guys come through the door, clubs do no promotion. It's always been hard to make good money in San Francisco but now it's a rarity without extras.
I would like to know what other dancers think of this work environment. Would you put up with all this? Or is San Francisco just taking advantage of their dancers? Let me know your opinion!
