I'm posting this in the 'Newbie' thread because whichever club I work.. I will be the 'newbie' in even tho' I've been dancing for over 2 years now.
I need some help in coming to a decision as to what I will do this Easter Long Weekend.
I plan to work from Thursday 8th April for 4-5 nights in total... I have two options open to me and am wondering which option, in your personal opinion, will be the better option overall:
OPTION A:
There are 4 strip clubs located pretty close to each other (locally). Only two of them are decent enough as far as earnings goes.. one is Players Showgirls (who I just quit from so I can't go back so soon) and the other is Crazy Horse.
As far as I know, Crazy Horse operates on a 'tip out/fee' basis. Since I'll be working the min. 4 shifts it will only be $50 per shift. They also will only be open until 3am each shift I do work (new law here on the Gold Coast.. only Players is able to have a 3am 'lock in'. It isn't a big club however there will be a decent number of dancers working. It is local so I don't have any travel expenses. The downside is that the working environment is VERY competitve and catty. You have to watch your own back.
OPTION B:
Go 'up north' to where it is warmer and might also be a little wetter (it is the wet season here in Australia). I have chosen Cairns ( http://www.cairnsinfo.com ). It only has one strip club to service all of Cairns and nearby (the other one went bust) called The Club International ( http://www.theclub.com.au/ ). It also works on the 'tip out/fee' basis. This option will incur expenses such as airfare, accommodation and food. Cairns isn't that big and is relatively safe so I can walk to/from 'The Club' back to my accommodation.
At the moment, I'm looking at expenses around the $1500 mark at the very most right now. That means I would have to earn approx. $280 per shift to 'make back' all money spent for the trip... I'm thinking 'The Club' has more potential due to it being the ONLY strip club in town. They also have a 3am 'lock in' hence allowing me to have an extra 2 hours to earn money on a Friday and Saturday.
Just FYI... I quit Players because I was a little sick and tired of how things worked there lately. I had lost interest in working there.
Option A will allow me a greater profit margin in that I won't have any travel and other expenses except the tip-out/fee each shift. Yet the punters will be shared between this club and 4 other clubs.. esp. Players. It isn't the only strip club therefore the possibility that I might not make $400 per shift does exist. I would only be doing 4 shifts at this club. This isn't an 'unknown' to me.. I have visited the club in the past plus I now the local strip scene generally.
Option B won't allow me a huge profit margin due to travel and other expenses incl. tip-out/fee. Yet it is the only strip club to service Cairns and anything close by to Cairns hence the punters will only have the choice of one strip club instead of many. Also, since I will be in Cairns and only working 5 nights out of the 7 nights that I'm staying.. it is also a mini-holiday as well. I can have the option of always doing an extra shift (work 6 nights) if I feel up to it. This is an 'unknown' to me as I havn't heard much at all about the scene up in Cairns - so I would gain much more in experience in Cairns than Crazy Horse.
Hence.. should I stay where I am to try and make good money over those 4 shifts or go 'up north' and work whilst also having a holiday (working 5 shifts) ? (BTW - I havn't been to Cairns since I was a toddler so the experience (holiday) would be like a first visit since I have no recollection of that holiday to Cairns.)
Which option would you choose and why ...
I'll be making my final decision Monday .. I'll keep you updated
