I've been dancing three months, been having good nights recently, I've been more confident, using new lines, etc. But tonight I was told that, apparently a LOT of girls think that I purposefully steal customers. As noted, the VIP room is away from the floor, so when I get back from there or from my dressing room I: look around, if a guy doesn't have an extra drink at his table or is talking to a dancer, I go up and talk to him. If he says he just got there, I talk to him for a minute and say something like "I'll talk to you later, sweetie." and go off and talk to the next customer. I always ask if he wants a dance.
Apparently, girls think that I wait for them to stop talking to a customer, either to go on stage or something else, and then 'steal' them, ie, ask them for a dance. My club is small, if there are only 15 guys there, and 8 dancers, this is a problem... and I don't know what to do about it, if I spend ten minutes after every VIP I do watching to make sure no girl goes up to a guy, I'll lose out because, duh, other girls will go up to them in that time. Plus customers are always bitching about girls not talking to them, because the majority of our girls spend half the night playing video games or talking to each other or something... I guess this is why, if you're chatting to customers you might be stealing. Oh, yeah, I've gotten 'spoken to' [by our DJ, as other girls complained] about this once before, and when I say that I'm not purposefully doing that, I'm told to just be more aware of what's going on.
I want to quit right now, because I hate jobs where I try my hardest to do something right and I can't...
I don't know what else to do, I don't want to have a 'devil-may-care' attitude and just keep doing this, because I don't really want enemies, but I also don't want to have nights where I make less than minimum wage... Any advice?
And I can't switch clubs right now, I've been to the other ones around here and don't really want to work at them, and I don't have a car so I can't drive further out... It'd be quitting to not dance at this club.

To do him credit, though, he never fucks with a girl's stage set, even if he really hates them. He might not go over the top for them, but he doesn't purposefully undermine them.
