I'm just so sick of my work right now so I wrote a letter to the boss. I work in a no contact club - thats the licencing that we have, and everything that pisses me off here is something that goes against club rules. Oppinions? I feel like I sound like such a goodie two shoes / prude, but the work situation is beyond ridiculous!!!!! - What do you think? (If anyone would like to correct any spelling mistakes, feel free) (-:

I love working at __________ and I hope to come back when I return from overseas. However I am finding the current work situation almost impossible to work in; Not entirely due to the lack of customers currently and the fairly substantial number of girls working at the club but also due to an ever increasing lack of work ethics amongst some dancers.
They include...
* Dancers approaching customers around the podium and / or sitting with them around the podium.
* Dancers cutting in on other dancers customers or people other dancers are talking to.
* Dancers slagging off other dancers to customers.
* Dancers touching or rubbing against customers in order to try and sell a private show.
* Dancers offering a little more than is acctually legal in a private show. (Thats not to say that anyone's acctually doing extras in the shows, just that they offer is there.)
* Dancers undercutting for private shows.
* Dancers "over-cutting" on the podium. Ie. Only doing a topless show for $20 then asking for another $20 to complete the show. Or insisting that stage shows are $50, sometimes working in twos or threes on a podium which means that when the next girls get up the customers either feel ripped off and don't want to tip or they don't have enough money to tip anyone else or to get private shows - except of course from the girls who undercut which are generally the same ones who over-cut on the podium.
* Dancers not sharing the whole podium when on stage in pairs.
* Dancers doing long shows on the podium when paying customers are scarce to stop other dancers from getting a look in.
* When the club / podium is near empty some dancers do a free show in order to try and sell a private or in hope of getting a tip. Often hogging customers for the full 15 minute set and disregarding the fact that the customer may want to tip the other girl on stage.
* Dancers pretending they don't understand English properly when the rules are explained to them or in any other situation where it works to their advantage or weaseling out of a situation. (By no means am I implying that all the dancers who don't have English as a first language do this, nor do I care about anyone doing this is it's a fair situation.)
* Dancers / waitresses not informing other dancers when a customer specifically is interested in them.
* Dancers waitresses telling customers not to tip or talk to other girls, or sometimes choosing specifically who they should and shouldn't talk to.
* Dancers getting up on stage late when no-one's tpping and jumping up early when they are.
Unfortunatly I think there is more than what I have listed here. I am a big beliver that if we all work fairly and together we can all keep our heads above water. It's extreemly disheartening to all of the dancers who work fairly to watch ourselves and each other sink whilst others are swimming due to working unfairly.
In some of the other clubs I've worked in all dancers are issued with a club rule / law book and have to sign a statement to say that they understand the rules. Dancers who bend or break the rules are at first given a warning but repeat offenders are fined and then sacked if they continue to keep disregarding club polacy. Would it be possible to have the rules and legalities on display in the changing room?

Otherwise, you make it give them the opportunity to say, "Oh, it's not that bad."
