    Default Tipping out the housemom???

    Should I tip the house mom? She doesn't seem to do anything but talk and smoke. I wasn't told to tip her when the manager was telling me the deal on tipping at this particular club. What is her job?

    The house mom, is the lady that has extra bad-aids, ( shes suppose to ) can sew, will have extra tampons, body spray, make up anything that a dancer can need in the dressing room.

    She is like your stand in mom, she gives advice and so forth. Yes indeed, tip her, shes like the outdoor guy - hes always there and it might seem like he doesn't do much, but ONE DAY you might need him to cover your little butt.

    The housemom at my club has EVERYTHING that you'll need...tampons, hair clips, baby wipes, nail polish, polish remover, nail files/clippers, super glue, food, snacks, etc. She also kept a keen eye on everyone's stuff.

    I rarely used anything from the housemom, but I still tipped her (it was mandatory). When I did use something from her, I tipped her more.

    I think tips should be earned and not expected. I've found that Housemoms, DJs, and Floor guys become lazy when you just GIVE them money and they don't have to work for it. But throwing her a couple of bones a night can be looked at as charity, rather than a tip I guess

    Our main housemom doesn't do a whole lot in general (well, with some rare exceptions, nothing that would warrent a tip over the $5/dancer she's already getting) so most will tip her $2-5 bucks if at all. I adjust accordingly. For example, when she sews something for me, or lets me borrow something, I'll give her like $10. Some of the ahem...more inebriated dancers ask her to hold their money so they won't lose it and will tip her $20 or 10% of their earnings.

    Sometimes I wish our club had a housemom. It's great to have someone who has everything. Then the girls would stop taking all of my tampons and using all of someone else's eyelash glue.

    You have to tip the housemom. Our housemom during the week actually has helped me out by fixing my rhinestone jewelry.. she was such a lifesaver! Plus other things like snacks, supplies, rubs lotion on your back... LOL. Just basic shit.

    I have mixed feelings on this one...

    I've had a housemom who was awesome - he had everything and anything you could possibly need. I never had a problem tipping him because he was always there and I could always depend on him if I needed him. He looked out for the girls and watched everyones stuff in the locker room.

    The current housemom is a different story. He has NOTHING, but a few curling irons and hairspray. he'll do girls make-up and hair for a fee, but if you need anything from him beyond paying him to do your makeup (i can do my own, thank u very much) youre screwed. Girls get stuff stolen a lot more now that he's there because he's always sitting in this little closet watching tv, not the girls belongings. He has no supplies... and tip out is mandatory to him. You better believe at the end of the night, he's running up to me yelling "Belle give me money!!!" It irritates the shit out of me. With him, it is like a mercy tip, because in no way, shape, or form has he done anything that could even remotely be considered helpful to me.

    lol
    alot of clubs dont have house moms and thier duties fall on the dj.

    My dj bag has barbi bandaids,tampons and pads,super glue,snacks,etc.
    And yes,i will sew if its needed,i got the needle and thread.

    Its all about keeping the ford assembly line going and your atheletes out on the field during the game.

    Yea some house moms suck,but not having one can really suck!
    If you have one,unlike the one Miss Belle has,tipping is just a good idea,you never know when you will really need them at an important time when it could mean the difference between money,and no money.

    oh,and SCISSORS!!!!!!

    Kripes,i bet i buy a couple pairs a month,just to get lost in the dressing room during the night.
    Scissors in a dressing room are like the lost socks in a dryer,modern science still hasnt discovered the black hole they fall into.

    alas...
    One day,all entertainers will carry a spair pair in thier dance bags.

    Super Glue! We only have one housemom at our club, so she's not there every night. Nonetheless, I don't think she has any super glue. Nail glue works just fine, too, for things like fixing shoes and a quick fix for just about anything that breaks! One of the girls at my club told me the other night I'd be a good housemom, because I bring everything to work. I was brought up in a very small club with no housemom and no DJs like BGMM....

    But even if I don't use anything of housemom's, I still tip. Why? Because she's there, lending an ear if I whine about my day, my night, my roommate, or whatever. She's in the dressing room if I get my outfit tied in a knot right before I go on stage and she will untangle me just in time.

    Elle, I totally agree that he should charge girls to do hair and make-up; however, you have to admit that beyond that, he really has/does nothing.

    Corey is sweet and I dig him as a person, just not as a housemom

    what is the manditory tip out for him?

    Corey has always done a lot for me(maybe because im constantly bitching to him and asking him to do things) But yea, i guess he doesnt do as much for others as he did for me. Although he is constantly babysitting out of the club for dancers for almost free!

    But then again, ramone never did anything for me. (and i know other girls loved him)I tipped him out just because....

    I thought she was talking about ramone. Funny I worked with him twice and he asked me for more tip because he said I made more than anyone. Though he did nothing for me. Funny when I was 17 he worked at the salon next door to were I worked and came in and hit on me. He was like 20 years older than me yuck.

    It's funny, i read this post, and thought my god, these issues and problems over housemom tipout happen everywhere, not just at my club! LOL. We have the same problem, one housemom tues-sat who does everything. She does watch tv in the dressing room, but she always has food, and baby wipes, and likes to joke around, which i love. But the housemom on sundays and mondays, well... the only thing she does is make food. She sits there and let's girls take advantage of her. there's supposed to be no smoking in the dressing room, and she will jsut let the girls walk on her. I feel like I am more a housemom than her when she is there, and I am always telling her to stand upto the girls. I have since stopped working her nights, because I feel like she's just a waste of space being there, and totally undeserving of a tip, but it's mandatory so I do it. But there's nothing I hate more than someone who doesn't do their job... so i feel your pain ladies! lol

Iliked him alright until I worked those two shifts with him and he tried to get more money out of me just because I was the highest earner those shifts. I could see if he did anything for me but he did nothing. Oh well.

    What I keep wondering is: Is the $20 tip we are required to give our housemom really worth it. She has band-aids, make up, perfume, sweets, hairspray. All the things that I ring myself because my stuff better. So to me she doesnt do jack for me but ask me for money at the end of the night. She serves nopurpose whatsoever, didnt play me some hot stage music like the DJ, didnt save me from a rough customer like the bouncers and didnt give me my jo like the boss.
    SO Im pretty pissed off every night when i have to hand over a $20 ill for jack sh*t. Id rather give it to the DJ.

    YES it is rude not to tip her something. She has to sit in the dressing room all nite that has got to suck. Honeslty i can't belive this question was even asked.

    I had a housemom in Reno. She was very sweet and brought healthy snacks for the girls and my stuff was never bothered. I always tipped her only because she took great care of us while we worked. We used to blab to her about who was an @ss and who was being nice.
    I gave her btwn 5-10 depending on what I needed her for or even just b/c she was a great gal. Anyways, she was a big help so she always got something.

    Im ok with this solution!!!!


    kidding!!!!!

    Ask a DJ who doesnt have a housemom and he would probably swap the extra 20 bucks for the mom.I know I would.

    With 30+ girls in a dressing room,its always good to have an extra body to help when needed.
    If you have a housemom,be thankful,and tip her with a smile.
