    Default Waitresses/door girls tipped more?

    I have noticed at my club the waitresses and door girl will be getting tipped more than the dancers on stage or talking to customers. I work a no alcohol nude club, and when I go to sit with a customer and have a conversation he will hand the waitress $1-$5 OR MORE dollars for grabbing him a cup of water or monster but never tip the girls for conversation, get dances, or tip stage! And I know it isn’t in my head because the other night an out of towner was the only one tipping every girl’s stage a few dollars and he asked me why the waitresses cleaning the stage between sets were getting money thrown on stage but he was the only one tipping the dancers. I told him it’s always like that here! Stage is only tipped when the guy actually likes you, not as a curtesy! And when I go to the front for something, the door girl’s tip jar will be STUFFED with money but on the floor it’s like pulling teeth to get dances out of the same guys. I’m not being a hater lol I know they work hard too, but it’s annoying when they sometimes leave with more $$ than the dancers when it’s been a shit night since they also get hourly pay! Any insight into this?

    You could always dress down more maybe & play the part of a door girl/waitress? See if it works in your favor. Or say you are transitioning into a dancer from a doorgirl/waitress. I honestly think the only reason they are getting tipped a lot is due to the fact that they are less "attainable" so to speak. They aren't getting naked so they are more mysterious to the guys coming in.

    When I danced I saw a few clubs like that & I'd dress down & hustle it from that angle. Hell say it's your first night dancing, they may find that sexy who knows. It sucks I know, you either need to find a club that doesn't really cater to that or switch up your hustle. Good luck.

    Sometimes an employee will stuff the tip bar to make it appear that they are getting tipped a lot. Every customer that walks in sees the $ stuffed tip bar and may "feel that they are being cheap" if they don't add any money to the tip bar.

    Ok but do you really know how much they're making? I thought our waitresses banked too because they'd make sure you saw when a guy tipped them $50+, but there were also plenty of guys who tipped jack shit, and eventually a new girl confessed she had been lied to about the $$ potential and had never broken $200 in 8 hours. They pooled tips so it wasn't just her.

    If a guy tips $1-$5, it will take a waitress between 4-20 guys to make what you make off ONE dance. How busy is the club & how often do guys really need a drink? Is there another waitress to share the floor with? Are they having to tip out the bartenders? The math doesn't usually come out that high...

    I agree it's rude that so many guys come in & watch stage without tipping anyone but I wouldn't get too worked up unless they're sitting at the rail itself. What you're describing sounds like just how it is in a lot of clubs. They tip the waitress because it's public etiquette - everyone knows you tip your waitress. Not everyone knows it's polite to tip the dancers. They often don't know we aren't being paid hourly by the club. I'm not trying to defend them, but yeah.

    To be honest, I think alcohol helps a ton in the letting go of money. I also agree that the door girl is probably putting her own tips into the jar to make it seem like she has a lot OR she is asking the guys outright to tip her and they feel obligated.

    Def. have felt like this before on nights when I didn't make money.
    It almost seems like - in the end - by time dancers pay tip outs and
    house fees, which waitresses don't have (or do they?mayb to the
    bartendr?) wait staff and other staff actually clear more earnigns
    than dancers. Their pay is steady considering not tipouts/house
    fees, and also they still get that "wage" that club pays them.
    (at least i think they are guaranteed a certain wage? anyone
    know what it is? so, considering there are nights when we
    don't earn a thing, or break even after tip/house, they
    still consistently earn 'something'. It seems that way,
    but maybe not since I've never been a wait staff or
    house dj.

    I have seen waitresses become dancers. I have not seen dancers become waitresses apart from after having gained considerable amount of weight or for other personal, non-financial reasons.

    ^ They likely have a tipout to the bartender, usually somewhere between 2-4% of their sales. I'd lean towards 2% since it is only bar they tip.

    Tipped hourly pay is not much & then they get taxes taken out based off the amount of tips they claim, which is sometimes a lot depending on credit card vs cash. If all your tips are on credit cards, you get taxed on all of it. My state pays tipped positions $8/hour. I work a few nights a week in a steakhouse & my actual paycheck is <$100/week. Most states pay a LOT less, some are like $3/hour. It's really nothing to write home about.

    I get being salty, especially on slow nights, but I think this is usually a case of "grass is greener syndrome".

    I have been a waitress and and danced 10 years. Waitresses do not make more than dancers. In Texas they get paid $2 a hour which comes to nothing. Most guys do not tip that much and most club's overstaff with waitress. It's a lot harder than dancing and more drama too. You do have to tip out bartenders and buss boys. It's exhausting and you stay at club cleaning up after close. I made good money by matching up good guys to girls . A lot of guys like to use certain waitress too so there's that. A I had a friend who was a door girl who said she made $ 200 . I had nights where I made less than $ 100 and was exhausted. Dancing is much easier.
