I have a situation that I'm wondering about. Here's some information. We have two owners. We also have managers that ocassionally act as champagne hosts when the dancer do champagne courts. They expect tips, and usually that's $20 per court (it costs $400 and the girl keeps $200). Most of the time we get the customers to cover the tip so we don't have to out of our own pocket.
Okay.....
tonight was a great night. This guy brought three of us in there all night. We each made pretty good money (over $1000 each). When the guy signed the receipt, one dancer in particular pushed him to tip the manager, and she got him $500 for the night.
At the end of the night, he went on about how great that one girl was for hooking him up and then put us two on the spot for not helping him with it. We felt like he was being way greedy since he basically got a bigger tip than normal (should have been about $100 per girl) and just taking advantage of us two who did not push for the tip. And side note: she and I would have each said something if the other girl had not, but she took over.
I didn't tip anything yet since I still have "funny money". Part of me just wants to tip him like $50 so he will get off my back and not feel any resentment towards me. The other dancer that he's annoyed at wants to go to the manager and tell on him for taking advantage of us and his position as a champagne host (many other club employees would be thrilled to have that job). I'm not sure. I can be pretty passive. I prefer to pay the money and not make trouble with my manager, but on the other hand, I see her point about it being very unfair. I would imagine the owner would be unhappy if he knew that the manager was doing that, but I'm not sure. I might be making a big deal over money which isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.
