So I auditioned today, and then they had me start right afterward. Dancing on stage was fun (though I definetely need to build a repertoir of moves so I don't bore everyone!) and selling/giving laps went much better than I expected (I give SW full credit . . . I kept remembering tips that I got from here) . The thing is, the first part of the shift was slow, and I was one of the few making any money . . . probably the most, and the girls were, well, not exactly bitchy, but pretty close. They all seemed to be close and they hang out outside the club, and most of them pretty much just ignored me, even when I smiled or tried to talk. And during my second stage set there were about five girls sitting pretty close and just staring at me (also there were only about 4 customers at that point, so it was hard not to notice them). Now if I were an experienced dancer and I watched a girl out-earn me on her first day I prolly wouldn't love her either, but I also wouldn't sit around gossiping while she worked the floor. I wanted to say, 'sorry for making money, but I think that's what happens when you WORK.' So anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if this is a pretty typical first-day type thing that girls do at clique-ey clubs, and can I expect it to get better if I continue to be nice but hardworking? I wish I could say I don't care what they think of me, and I mostly don't, but it makes it pretty awkward in the dressing room when nobody will say anything to me
. Thanks everyone! ~Petals

Best thing you can do is completely ignore them, I mean act like they don't even exist, and keep right on doing your thing and making money!
