    Default Waitress Job

    Hi All,

    I am after some advice, sorry this is nothing to do with dancing but thought you guys would have some ideas. I currently work in a family restaurant, the wages and tips are crap. I saw an advert for a waitress in a private club, went to the interview and got the job, big surprise !

    Wages are a bit more but I know the girls make big tips. The problem is the uniform is basically a skimpy thong swimsuit. I think I am OK wearing it but when I was at the club the girls looked very vulnerable, just wanted some advice on this I can handle comments but being touched I could not cope with. Is this a problem? Anything else I should conside? Just some advice
    help.
    I guess the uniform is standard amongst waitresses? Sorry never been to another club

    I am keen on the job, the money is good and the other staff seemed great, even other waitresses wished me luck whilst I waited for the interview.
    Cheers all

    Niks

    The waitresses at my club and every other club I've seen wore normal clothes (at my club the uniform is black pants or a skirt and a white top). I guess this is different because it's a private club.

    Ask the club their policy on touching. Most clubs would probably kick a guy out for groping a waitress. See if that's the case. Your comment about the girls looking "vulnerable" gives me bad vibes, I'm not really sure what you meant though.

    It depends. In clubs where the customers are allowed to touch the dancers, most waitresses let the customers touch them a little. The guys may slap them on the butt a little as they walk away or make a joke, put their arm around their waist as they are placing a drink order, etc. This is what I've seen in guys when they are drunk or are "regular" customers of the waitress. And most waitresses make their big tips off regulars. A guy will often, after he finds a waitress he likes, ask for the same one each time he comes into the club. I've even seen waitresses call in customers on their cell phones when it was slow.
    So if you're going to be working in a club where you can see there is contact between the customers and the dancers, you can bet that sometimes the waitresses get it too. Maybe not as much as the dancers, but they still get touched from time to time. If this would bother you, you're probably better off either not working in the club, or you're going to need to be aware, a little tough, and more of a "hustling" waitress rather than a waitress who develops regulars that run up big tabs.
    But in the clubs I've worked in that didn't allow the customers to touch the dancers, the waitresses often wore outfits such as you described. I know the Men's Club in Dallas used to have uniforms like this a while back when it was the top club in TX. And I didn't see the dancers get groped that often. I did see it from time to time in no contact clubs, but not as often as in the clubs that offered higher contact.

    Hi All,

    The club has a definate no touching rule was told this very clearly at interview, in fact was made clear to me that I was not to encourage it (made me laugh when you think of the uniform!)

    Was not sure if guys actually kept to the rule normally ?

    When I said vunerable did not mean it in a bad way, guess just my view as a newbie in that environment.

    LOL. In most clubs, the guys don't keep to the rules unless the bouncers make them. And usually the bouncers don't enforce the rules unless law enforcement is very active in the area and is making them do their job.
    Like I said in my post, if you see customers touching dancers on the floor, then waitresses probably let customers touch them from time to time too. If you don't see contact on the floor, then the guys touching the waitresses will happen less, but from time to time, you will see it happen.

    It really varies from club to club. The two clubs where I danced, one had waitresses wearing a short skirt and thong underneath with black almost opaque hose (and a skimpy top) and the other had waitresses in nicer street clothes. Neither club had a prob with waitresses getting hit on.

    I've visited other clubs, and never SEEN a problem. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I've just never seen it.

    I do know one club, though, where there was a huge shortage of dancers one night (it happens) and plenty of waitresses. A big crowd came in (some sort of convention or something) and there simply wasn't enuf dancers to handle the crowd. The manager made a big deal of "encouraging" one of the waitresses to step forward and dance. One of them did, and she was nervous as hell but cool about it. The next night, she was back to waitressing and never stepped on stage again.

    Ya just never know!

    Niks.

    Have you started yet ? How did it go ?

    I worked a few years ago as a waitress wearing virtually same type of uniform may be its the same club. We work the outfir with fishnets and killer 3" heels.

    To be honest my memories are not great do remember being touched frequently amd the feeling there was no escape, I often remember often having to wait on a table with a group of idiots on it knowing full well that every time you went over you got comment or a slap right accross the bum !!

    Hope its going OK ??
