    Sad Fired last night.....Strange.....

    So, I was fired last night..... It was the strangest, Twilight zoney chain of events I have experienced in a strip club yet. I just started working at this new topless club in mpls 2 weeks ago. I really liked it!! I had just come over from the other upscale club in town and was liking the change. Anyway, I was sitting with some customers last night and I saw this girl I worked with at the previous club. We both jumped up and gave hugs, etc. I was asking her what happened at the other club because she just never showed up again. She wanted to tell me in private so she led me into the bathroom. We were in there literally 20 seconds when the manager came in and asked me to leave the bathroom. Ahhh...ok...so I did. The managers were asking me what I was doing in there and I told them the truth, talking to an old aquaintance!!!! Well, they asked the girl if she had drugs on her and it turned out she did.....so they fired me!! I guess it's just one of those wrong place and the wrong time situations......F**k! I normally don't even work on Fridays...I just needed to pick up and extra shift to cover rent. Oh, one more thing.....I don't even do drugs. They told me to call them in two weeks to ask for my job back.....RIIIIGHT. C'ya Seville.

    what the hell????????!!! That's such an outrage. Don't they have cameras? Can't they give a drug test? Ridiculous.

    I am assuming there aren't any cameras in the bathrooms there. I guess entertainers are not supposed to go into the bathroom on the floor. So, essentially, I was fired for going into the bathroom. Nice, eh?

    But, whatever way you look at it thats screwed up!!
    * No, they dont have to give drugs tests most of the time strippers are independant contractors Iwould think thats somewhat and invasion of privacy?

    Are they allowd to search your things? But for them to just find drugs on her and not you and they just ASK you isnt that wrong or something?

    Hi,

    Sorry that happened to you. Here's my two cents, with the caveat that I hardly ever know what the hell I'm talking about. But I've been going to the Seville off and on since it opened and I have frequented another "upscale" club in Minneapolis.

    The floorguys/managers at the Seville, who were mostly formerly from the other upscale club, have a history of showing who's boss and of arbitrariness. As for THE manger, I do like him, and I think he's fairly liked and respected. However, he is known for trying to run a clean club.

    It's a minor miracle, in my opinion, that he opened the club with such good support from the powers-that-be in the city. And part of this is that he's determined to position the club as clean entertainment and not a "stripclub." I know that he's told me that he wants to weed out any dancers that are troublemakers, involved with drugs, etc. Also, I'm sure there's pressure to be squeaky clean because I think Minneapolis is trying to crack down on the downtown clubs, notably the nude clubs. I know of one club that has made drastic changes, and because of those changes, has lost many dancers and clientele.

    I agree with you that it sounds like it you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think it sucks that you are held responsible for the contents of your friend's purse. But as long as I've been going, the clubs are not exactly arenas of fairness.

    I hope you find a new club. The scene seems to be in a big shift right now, and I dunno what club will come out on top or more importantly what clubs will continue to exist. I know that my club friends are scattered to the wind right now; it's not a desirable situation.

    Good luck!

    Guilty by association. That really sucks. In my opinion, you should not have been fired, but in the same respect, you should be thanking your stars that the manager caught you and not the po-po's. Had you been in a car or something, it could have been worse. Sounds like you're better off. May be a blessing in disguise.

    Yeah, it's guilt by association. I'm surprised management is so proactive about drug use/dealing,
    most clubs look the other way. Too bad your friend/acquaintence was stupid about drugs,
    but most drug users are. At one club I worked at I noticed a dancer who stopped working there
    kept coming in and giving the other dancers hugs... if you looked close you could see the
    hand off. It got to be pretty obvious what was going on. She came in all "how are you?"
    "so nice to see you" oooh "give me a hug"... and then would leave again then come back in
    a minute or too later and repeat the process with another dancer. Like if she was really
    coming inside to see long lost pals she would have went around hugging them without
    needing to come in and go back out (to get the drugs she was delivering). Very obvious,
    yet management did/said nothing at all.

    The club was a very clean one(from what I could see)and I enjoyed working there because of that. I agree with everyone that says it may be a blessing in disguise though. Oh well, two down and one more topless club in the city to work at .....better get to the gym and audition TONIGHT!!!! Thanks for the support everyone!

    Hi,

    I just re-read your post. Although it may seem unbefitting and unrealistic, they did say you could call in two weeks to see about getting re-hired. That's a good thing and leaves you with some options for the future. I know it's a blow to the ol' pride - I'd have a hard time with it two, but after some time, it may be something you want to think about if you liked the club prior to this unfortunate event.

    Okay, I'll go back under my rock now. Twin Cities happenings are rare on the board.

    I don't think going back is a realistic option. I was very upset about the whole thing and I still am. I snapped on the managers last night (after they told me to call in 2 weeks).....and rightfully so, I believe. I wouldn't go back there if it was the only club in town. Time to move on. They completly humiliated me in front of my customers, other entertainers and the floor staff. They also were talking about it with customers outside while I was waiting for my ride. I wish 'em the best! Not the type of people I need to be in business with.

    I once had a girl working for me that I made the unfortunate mistake of accusing of being a meth user ( not without some serious signal's going off first ) and that without any contrary proof I would be forced to let her go. The other girl's in the club where threating to leave as apposed to risking being caught up in a drug raid. to make a long story short she left in tear's and came back 2 hour's later with a urinalysis printout from the hospital from up the road and through it at me...... clean as a whistle, after which I proceeded to beg her forgiveness and eat an extra large portion of crow. She stayed with me for a long time after that with well earned respect. I took the piss test and posted it in the dressing room for all the doubter to see. Shame on me and a lesson well learned.

    Wow! Thanks for sharing that info. I would love to do that!!!!!! The only thing is that they thought I was on my way to do drugs in the club. I wish I could get ahold of the girl that I was talking to and have her call them or something. I doubt that would work....plus if I do ever get ahold of her I am going to give her a piece of my mind. What a dumbass putting me in a situation like that without my knowledge. I have been thinking about it all day today and now I am convinced she wanted me to go back there with her to do lines or something. Whatever.

    Well, I woke up from a nap yesterday and checked my voicemail and there it was....a message from the club asking me to come back. Funny....

    Any advice? I am working for another club now. They aren't as busy but I don't think working for a club that fires women just like that is in my best interest in the long run.

    yeah, but working for a club that's really strict about drug use is in your best interest.

    Supporting my family is in my best interest. I am completely drug free and I was fired for them. I am tired of working for clubs that treat women like a commodity and not as human beings. I did nothing that was worth getting fired over and it really disrupted my home life (mortgage, groceries, etc..). I guess I am just confused about why it's so important to work for a place that is against drug use...since they are not a part of my life at all. People use drugs everywhere. I can't be responsible for other's actions. Oh well.

    *tiptoes in stripping general*

    Okay, I'm replying since I know the area - just kick my virtual butt if I'm inappropriate.

    ruby, I was talking to some gals and I was hearing more "horror" stories about overzealous management at the newer club. I dunno. I know they are very concerned about their image and can be really strict.

    I do think that management can be too strict; I also think they can't be strict enough. The ladies I was talking with seemed to really like where you are working now and they talked it up quite a bit. I haven't heard that in a while.

    So try where you are working now, and know that you have options. Don't burn any bridges unless its necessary.

    Good luck!

    Sounds like a good plan. Thanks a ton for the responses everyone. Yeah, the club I'm at now seems like it might be a good place. I guess a nice smile and huge boobs will win the heart of any strip club though...haha.

    mgrs get suspicious when 2 or more girls go to the bathroom together. That was the red flag. Although I'm surprised that you got fired and your friend didn't. (unless I misread)

    She was just a customer that night but I had worked with her in the past. I did see her at the new club I am working at, I guess she is working the day shift there. She started bawling and apologizing the minute I saw her (she was wasted though, I feel bad for her actually).

    The club should put up a sign that says only one person in the bathroom at a time or no employees in the main bathroom etc

    Have you ever met or even heard of an owner or manager who would do this? Crazybob, you are amazing. The people who get to work with you are fortunate indeed...

    Rubyroo22, it is sad that you were caught up in a policy created to deal with other people. I have seen this shit happen in other clubs.

    If you really like the club, you might want to go ahead and try back in two weeks. The majority of clubs I have worked in regularly hired back dancers who were guilty of some pretty nasty shit, much less going into a bathroom.

    I would suggest if you think you may want to work for the club that fired you unfairly, go to a meeting with the management and see what their reaction is.

    They may have a known problem of dancers selling druges in the ladies room and you were simply an innocent victim...if they believe that. The fact your friend did have drugs on her, was a reasonable basis for them assuming she was selling you drugs, especially if they know that has happened in the past.

    As Susan said, maybe you want to work for a club with a strict drug policy. After meeting with them you can judge by their attitude and if they believe you whether you want to work for them again.

    Rubyroo, could you take the time to post a DETAILED club review (that included filling out the comments section on hiring, earnings ranges, clientele,etc) for the Seville and other clubs you have worked in the Twin Cities.

    I don't see any info on Ricks or Scheiks either.

    This will help everyone.

    I would greatly appreciate it.
