    I had one guy that spent about $75 on me over the hour, it wasn&#039;t busy or anything so I didn&#039;t mind sitting with him. That plus my stage tips got stolen. >.< After that I think I made about $50. Tip-out was only $10 and the DJ knew I&#039;d had my money stolen. I just couldn&#039;t sell a dance, even a free one.

    Hey I worked all day shift and part of the night tonight. I left early at 10:30pm.
    I got overmarked for a dance-thankfully the manager was understanding and let me just tip out my one dance and he didn&#039;t even charge me for my drink sale or stage fee. I was glad to get out of there. It was not busy and it got worse until there was one guy. He wanted a big boobed girl and wouldn&#039;t give me the time of day.

    Don&#039;t get me wrong. I usually love my job but tonight was just a shitty night. I&#039;m glad that I wasn&#039;t the only one who had a bad night but I think tomorrow will be better. I want to keep myself positive but it&#039;s so hard.

    Thank goodness I can vent here...I totally understand the way you girls feel. *Hug* Remember that tomorrow is another day and that mean a fresh start for the next day I will try to take my own advice and remember that too.

    It was back to school time for the kiddies AND don&#039;t forget most guys blew there cash on whatever end of summer vacation thingie they had planed but YES(here we go......) It sucked the likes of which suck has never sucked before. If tonight was a movie it would have been filmed in suck-o-rama with stunning suck-o-vision. And.....in conclusion ladies and jelly spoons.....if tonight were an ice cream flavor it woulf have been Pralines and ASS.

    Yes, I had a shitty night also. I expected it though due to the hurricanes and all the chaos going on. We were actually pretty busy, but nobody was spending money. Better nights to come, hang in there....

    Yup, welcome to the "slow season" for clubs in most regions. From a club customer standpoint, the kiddies have returned to school and needed money for clothes and school supplies. The credit card bill with the summer vacation charges on it just arrived. The &#039;heating season&#039; is about to begin meaning utility bills are going to take a jump. Self-employed club customers (like self-employed dancers) have a whopping third quarter estimated tax payment due next week.

    I hear you....my Friday night (right before the holiday) was just like your night last night -- my worst money making night in my dancing history.

    Don&#039;t let it get you down though. You may have to pick up an extra day or two, but it won&#039;t stay this bad. My Sunday and Tuesday were okay. I think the dog days of August and September are the months when we have to work a little harder for our $$$.

    I can tell you one thing though -- no more Memorial or Labor Day work weekends for me. I&#039;m planning a vacation for myself on those holidays next year!!

    Well I&#039;m across the world but we had a crappy night too - it&#039;s been VERY quiet lately, probably because it&#039;s cold for this time of year!
    At the beginning of my shift (8pm) a guy came in selling cheap shoes and outfits. I spent $40 expecting to make it back fairly easilly. By 1am I&#039;d only made $20, lol. It was a classic big night of the non-spenders! Some of the other girls spent more and made the same or less, we felt like we&#039;d jinxed ourselves! I managed to have an ok night thanks to a stroke of luck and staying an extra hour, but hell - most of us have shockers from time to time. I&#039;ve had nights in Queensland where it&#039;s been so bad I&#039;ve made nothing and worked at a loss due to club fees and transport and so on.

    I didn&#039;t work last night because I knew it was gonna suck. Tonight was better, though only because I hustled my ass off for it.

    Melonie made a lot of good points about why September isn&#039;t a rip-roaring start to money getting better. But it will, it will...

    Speaking of Melonie, that reminds me to call my accountant about estimated tax payments!

    Hope it picks up for you guys-

    I hear you! Whilst I did only start at 9pm... I left around mid-night. I had made a grand total of $2 by that time.. I could&#039;ve stayed.. and MAYBE make something more... however since I would be starting early today (Friday 5pm start)... I figured I would cut my losses and go home instead to get a little more sleep.

    I feel so damn used :&#039;( ... I dispise this feeling.. the major pitfall of this job. When you make under $100 for working 5-6 hours... I can&#039;t help yet feel used and crappy. :&#039;(

    I just didn&#039;t have the patience for tonight... and I mean it was sloooow... when I left.. there was a grand total of 6 people in the club.. and you could easily tell that none of them were going to spend any money. There is a reason it is called "Sad Girls" amongst dancers who have/do work there..

    Oh yeah.. two other dancers before me had left too.. due to the same exact reason..

    Well I actually had a pretty good night on Tuesday, nothing spectacular but good; BUT we have a bunch of baseball home games this week and that always helps. However, that same night, two girls walked out in the middle of the shift screaming "fuck this place", two girls got screwed out of a champagne room payment (club got screwed also), and it seemed everybody (but me) was a crabby bitch at the end of the night. We had customers, but I think most girls didn&#039;t do well due to what we&#039;ve been discussing in Tina&#039;s &#039;girls don&#039;t approach all the guys&#039; thread over in Hustle Hut.

    i havent been to work in 8 days. i NEVER work holidays. however i think in my case it might be good this weekend as no one did anything for labor day here except weather a hurricane! so i&#039;m hoping people will be out this weekend in full force. where i work there was only minimal wind damage.

    I feel like I haven&#039;t made shit in weeks. I was TRYING to work some weekend days to pick up the $ and I&#039;ll be damned if there was no better money to be had. At least not for me. Last night I made 68$ tonight I didn&#039;t make more than 100 and the last 60 came at the last minute. WTF is going on? I am starting to think about a regular job. And belive it or not I have been happy go lucky the last 2 days.So it&#039;s not me being a downer that&#039;s killing the $. But seriously it&#039;s making me crazy. I am really worried with winter coming. An we all know March suck major culo.
