    Thumbs down 1st day as a server today

    Hey everyone,

    Well, I just got hired at the old Diamond Cabaret (Sauget), and started today. It's now Penthouse. I hate it...really. I dumped the 1st beer I tried to serve all over me, then flung sweetener everywhere, but hey, at least a guy basically gave me $6 for making an idiot of myself. I still wanna dance, but gonna try to hold out, this server thing bites, less money for more work? I think I made a mistake. What if I dump a beer all over a custy tomorrow? I'm scared to go back, I'm just too clumsy. Oh, well...just needed to vent. Thanks

    ohh, hang in there. You are not the first waitress to mess up! Im sure it could have been a lot worse! And besides, you are probally the only one to think you messed up so bad!

    I'd continue with your waitress job and ease yourself into dancing if that is what you want to do!! good luck

    haha. i used to work there awhile ago. i wanted to dance but wasnt sure, kinda hesitant i guess. they made us wear a tuxedo vest, bowtie, thong, etc. i really didnt like it. and those damn heels. running around for that long in even short heels are hell by the end of the night. people kept telling me that i should dance but i still wasnt sure if i wanted to do it. i switched over to a different club (hustler) and i got tired of waitressing there, so now im going to go up north and audition (i cant dance in STL, i know way too many people here, and i dont want it to get back to my family) to dance. in our area, i would say that if you know for sure that you want to dance, stick around for another week or two waitressing, but make sure that you watch the dancers in everything they do~ soak in everything you can. ask some dancers for some tips. then tell Dave or whoevers doing the dancer hiring these days that you want to dance. you'll have to do an audition like everyone else, but i would suggest working there. its the best club in this area for sure, and that's where the money is. I've seen Nelly and his producer there, August Busch IV- owner of Anheuiser Busch, etc. People with money go to Diamond/Penthouse. i would dance there in a heartbeat if i could. good luck.

    Hang in there, sweet stuff! I've seen waitresses do much worse than spilling beer on a customer. Slow down a bit, try not to be nervous, and you'll be a pro in no time. Take it from a clumsy dancer who after 1.5 years, still manages to trip onstage almost every night

    Good luck!

    haha...Dumping a beer on someone...that reminds me of the time I was working as a cocktail waitress and my tray was full..maybe 40$ worth of drinks...this bitch in front of me backed up (she was wasted) hit my tray and all the drinks went ALL over everyone around me, including myself...I was too pissed to even check to see if anyone was ok...before they fell I was like pushing my way through the crowd, but she was too drunk to move....shit happens o well
