    Default poeple treating u diffenrently bc u have more money

    i started dancing for the first time last tuesday. so far it has been great in 3 shifts i have already made a little over 3 thousand dollars. anyway, it seems like since i have been making crazy money poelple around me have been acting different, and it is pissing me off. see i wear hair extensions and when i went today to get them put in, the lady that has been doing my extensions was like u should be paying me more seeing that now u are making so much money, i don't even charge u to take the extensions out. also the lady that does my manicures and pedicures and other spa treatments well all of a sudden her prices have gone up. and she is pushing things on me to buy like crazy. also my hair dresser is saying things like u should tip better seeing u are making money like crazy. i want to slap these people across the face when they talk like this. i find it so rude, i am so mad at the lady that does my extensions that i am no longer going to her for my hair. do these poeple not realize how stupid they sound when they talk like this. like i own them more and they have the right to charge me more bc i have more money. does shit like this happen to u ladies also? if so how do u deal with it?

    what are you doing? telling them how much money you make? but yeah, it's crass and unprofessional for them to say that to you. and no I don't recall ever encountering that sort of treatment. that sucks.

    How did these people find out how much money you made anyways? Secondly, If someone is going to 'charge you more", or even treat you differently because of how much cash you bank. You need to cut the ties on that crap here and now. It's silly.

    I've never had someone treat me differently because I made more money than them, or what have you. I still shop at wal-mart, and eat at Burger king. No one notices much.

    well its equally impolite to brag your earnings to someone who is undoubtfully making less!!

    Not a problem to brag on here, but not to people making minimum.

    Yes, how do they know you're making more money? I get a large yearly bonus and am flush with cash right afterwards but no one knows it. Are you telling everyone that you have a lot of money? If so, stop, it's not only rude but self-defeating.

    You need to find some place else to get your hair done, and what not.

    i know what u mean. my hair dresser even told me once that he charges more based on what the person does. and the lady that does my extensions used to tell me how she does this strippers hair and she raised the price bc she knows strippers make money. this treamtment is so common in the city i live in. u hear it all the time how hair salons charge more to dancer bc they think u are so wealthy.

    I dunno. The salons I always went to had the prices for services clearly listed by the stylist's experience. Your salon sounds shadier than some of the strippers I've worked with lol

    edit to say: so find a new salon and don't tell them what you do. say you're a starving student!

    Like RD said, time to find a different hairdresser etc. And I would let the old ones know why you're moving on. Is this a small town? I can't imagine someone from a city doing these things nor finding out that you are now a stripper.

    Here is what you tell the people asking for a bigger tip.

    OK !! Tip of the day !!! Don't go out in the rain without an umbrella. Then give them a penny or 2.
    ROCK ON !!!

    Either switch up or tell them all you decided to stop dancing. Of course you may not want to trust a shady hairdresser because your hair is important for making money and jealous hairdressers can do quite a bit of damage to your appearance!

    Burger King is Hungry Jacks here (Australia). Hungry Jacks has a Vegie Burger. It is actually more fattening than any of the meat ("normal") burgers

    As to the original poster - yeah.. just have a different story next time. I also don't dress like I have money as well.. that might be another give-away. Dress more "average" and don't wear jewelry.. this way your "poor starving student" story can pass easily... or they just wont ask.

    If someone asks what I do.. I say I work in the local clubs. If they ask.. I do lie as well.. I will say as a cocktail waitress. The ONLY times I tell them my "real" form of employment is when the prices are fixed.

    Good thing tipping isn't compulsory or even a standard custom here in Australia

    I have had some wierd experiences like that only because they think just because you dance that you make like 10K a week or something??? Hahahaha. They are just ignorant. Bleh.
    Anyways, that is soo rude of them to ask you to pay more. If that person is giving me a deal on most services I always tip well to show my appreciation not only for doing it well but for giving me a deal.
    I think that you should let your people know they are losing a valuable client because they are over demanding of YOUR money.

    Huh, the veggie burgers at burger king here have [without mayo]
    300 calories
    60 calories from fat
    8 g total fat

    whereas the original whopper [without cheese or mayo]
    540 calories
    210 calories from fat
    24 g total fat

    the regular hamburger has
    310 calories
    120 calories from fat
    13 g total fat

    ^ don't know what's up with Hungry Jack's, then. This is all from the Burger King website.
    Amusingly it's mostly the bun that has 160 calories each time.

    Anyway, yeah, switch salons that don't know your occupation. I find it kind of silly that they CAN charge based upon that anyway.

    It does suck though that if you have something nice or make a nice chunk of cash people think you have money flowing out of your butt endlessly. I don't like to talk about what I make or don't make with anyone but it peeves me no end when I hear someone say something like "Oh, if I got hit by a guy in a Porsche I'd sue," or whatever. Still, most hair places I've seen just charge what they charge. I'd find another place.

    Welcome to the world of Jealousy and Greed.

    People hate being left behind, and will try to bring you down to their level if they think you are succeeding.

    Just smile, and ask them if they would like to dance to make the extra cash
