at my club, we have taken on quite a few girls who have never danced before. they make good money cause they are new. one problem: they tip out most of it. we have minimums. on bad nights, i tip the minimum. on good nights i tip a percentage more than the minimum based on what i make.
the minimums are as follows:
10% total to dj (before other tip outs)
$25 to house
$3 to valet
$5 to bouncer
$3 to bar
quite a bit of money if you are repeatedly making $150 before tip out.
here's my issue. my bouncer and i always got along very well, but since these new girls have come in, i've been getting s**t on. there are several girls who work at my club and get trashed all night and make no money. or they lie about how much they make to avoid tipping out. i almost always can pay at least the minimum. there have been about 7 nights in my 1yr & a half working there where i couldnt. honestly, i believe that if i'm walking out with under $100 i shouldnt pay the house fee. i have no problem tipping the others. most girls i work with have this attitude. most of the time, they dont make us pay house fee if it's been super slow- as long as we take care of everyone else. except the new girls, they happily dig into their wallets for tip out if they have to. and this isnt a super big money club! it's wrecking it for the rest of us. these new girls tip out half of what they make! one time a girl made $200 and tipped out half of it! this isnt required! last night i walked out with no money cause my bouncer made me pay the $25 house fee. i have never had to do this before- ever. and i dont lie about how much i make. he accused me of lying about my money. i was so pissed!
ever had to deal with this issue? my club is getting bad. they are getting very demanding on us and it's been very slow. it isnt our faults! i dont mind, but on monday, three girls didnt pay house fee (same bouncer collecting) and they dont pay it as much as i do. i just dont like being told repeatedly that if i dont make it, i dont pay house fee and then have to pay it. my bouncer also got mad at me cause my vip customers werent tipping him. usually they do, but lately they havent been (even when i ask them to!). i cant help that! i try my best! he got mad cause i havent been getting as many vips as i used to. i try, but it's not happening. if i could change it, i would.
ARRRGHHH!
