    Default How To Handle This Situation

    I have been at my club now for a lil bit over 2 months now. I love my club it has the best staff all around in my area.

    However, I have begin to notice something that has been bugging me a lot. My DJ makes little comments you know kinda like crowd motivators when particular girl is on stage. A few I have noticed in particular. Well he used to do the same for me when I first started. Now I often find him down in the floor or at the bar, during my set. I mean a whole song will go by and not a purr, "wish I could get a piece of that action", nada.

    Thing is I tip him 15-20 dollars every night I work, we get along, I never complain about rotation, Im on time. What gives?

    I have been thinking about talking to him about it and seeing what is going on. I dunno, what do you girls think?
    I appreiciate any advice you ladies give. I still have so many questions.

    Many DJs just play favorites. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do they just have their faves and there's really nothing you can do about it. Also it's possible the girls he's talking up so much are tipping him more. I'd just have a lil talk with him and ask why he doesn't talk you up like he used to. See what he has to say.

    OMG!! My dj does that too! I tip him well and consistanly and I also hope for the attention getting comments and nothing. Half the time, I look over into the booth from the stage, and he isnt even in it!! If you find out the trick, let me know!

    Nikki, Im going to have a conversation with him tommorow, turns out most of the girls do not tip him or tip him very little.
    I thought maybe he had a bladder control problem, or maybe I was giving of this terrible funk that traveled all the way to the dj booth.
    But, Im sure it is him, and I plan to call him on it (respectivley of course). This is driving me crazy. Glad to know Im not alone, I will let you girls know what happened.

    Def. say something. Even if he's a jerk and still doesn't do what you ask, at least you can say you tried. Always stand up for yourself, especiallly in this business! Your $$$ depends on it!

    I've really never had that problem because our DJ's aren't allowed to hang out on the floor. They have to stay in the booth and dancers are not allowed to hang out in the booth, for this exact reason

    I agree with the other posts - I would definitely say something and if he doesn't start acknowledging you while you are on stage, cut back the tip outs to him.

    TYPE out a script of what you want him to say on stage. Give it to him when you get to work along with his required tip + $5-7.

    Tell him what to say if you are paying him money.

    If he doesn't say what you tell him confront him on it and cut his tip down.

    Some guys, or some people in general, have a tendency to take a good thing for granted. They need to be reminded that good relationships take some maintenance.

    "I'm always nice to you when it's time to tip out... do you suppose that you could rustle up some dances for me?"

    Or.

    "Hey, sparky, I gotta ask. It seems like the more I tip you, the less you pay attention when I'm on stage. Am I wasting my money? Do you not like me? Should I tip out less for the same service?"

    Depending on what his ego can take.

    Hey everyone,

    So here is how I handled the situation. I waited till the end of the night when everyone says their goodbyes and tips our dj.
    I slipped him his money hugged him really close and said, "You know it is okay to talk me up a bit more when Im onstage." He looked at me and replied, " You feel I do not do this now?...Me, "No, not as of late, and not like you do (insert seven names here).
    He said okay, I will remember that.
    I work tomorrow night, so we will see what happens.
    (I found out most girls tip him like 7-12 dollars.)

    I love one of my DJ's for this very reason, though he doesn't necessarily do it on the mike when I'm onstage. He does it whenever I walk by, when he cruises through the dressing room, etc. He'll say, "Damn, Brooke! You are soooooo HOT!" or "Ooooh yeh, I love those 'fuck me' boots! You're gonna BANK in those!"

    This guy is essential when it comes to morale and juicing up my motivation. I don't tip him for the songs he plays for me; I tip him for his sweet, golden tongue.
