    Default $15 dance, and I keep 1/2

    Ok, yesterday I called this club in KY. The manager told me to come on down, and that when I get here I can get a look over of the place and see if I want to get hired. She did fill me in that "this is a slow time"

    I get here, and she is RIGHT! There are about 9 girls working, and 4 customers. She proceeds to tell me dance prices. There is no VIP, just $15 couch dances.

    Now this is what threw me....The way they handle the money

    Couch Dance = $15 (1/2 to me, 1/2 to club)
    Stage Tips= You keep 100%

    ****End of the night****

    Whatever you have for the end of the night, you take half of that, and then give the other half to management. The girls get paid (by check) every week

    So basically, if I work and make $200 for the night, $100 goes to me. But..I am only taking $50 home with me, while the other $50 goes into my paycheck.

    Has anyone else ever heard of a place like this?

    sounds really shady to me.

    What was their reasoning behind that? Find somewhere else, keeping half of what you make is asanine.

    LOL Money Abuse! Ok -not funny screwin with the money though!
    Thats absurd! Half?! Im guessing they dont have house fees there? Id rather pay a stage fee and keep everything.

    I wouldnt go for it unless the club is SUPER busy - maybe when chocolate pigs fly. Yea, go find another club that wont rip you off. Even as I do the math on higher totals its not worth it. If you do work there either charge $20 for a dance or hustle LD tips.

    Avoid, avoid, AVOID that club!

    Also, cinammonkisses, give the girls here the name of that club so that way they know not to go there.

    Please do tell the name of the club, as I like to travel sometimes and do not want to go to that club.

    So they take half your money and it's NOT a Deja Vu club? Wow, that's a new one!

    Seriously though, look at other options. It's bad enough that the money potential isn't great, but when I've worked at similar clubs at least the fees were tiny enough that I kept the $200-$300 I'd make in the joint. Take your stilletos and run sister, run like the motherfucking wind!

    Walking out of the club with $50 after making $200??That's definitely some kind of bullshit.What did they say about their checks,how long does it take to get them back,out of curiosity?

    Hahha oh trust me I did! It's called the Playpen. It's located in Wilder, KY it's only about 10min from my house (I live in Ohio)

    I wanted to try a closer club like this because I do not drive...but after spending a total of $30 to get to/from this place to check it out, I'd rather take my business elsewhere! The girls were tired looking, I would give (the best looking) girl in there a 6.

    It's just frustrating cause there are no strip clubs in Cincinnati (Illegal due to zoning regulations) so my best bet is to go either to Indy, Batavia, Oh (20min or so away - Deja Vu club) or be in hell-hole northern KY.

    For anyone looking for a club that is good in ohio go to diamonds in centerville ohio, babydolls in medway ohio, or cheeks in centerville ohio. I have worked at all of them and recommend them for money, management, and clientele.

    So if we do the math..... $15 for a LD... club get's half... So we're at $7.50 and then they keep 50% of that until you get a paycheck.... So you're walking out with $3.75 per table dance?!?

    I agree with everyone else.... RUN!!!

    I couldn't do a $3.75 LD and not at least get a Value meal with it j/k

    I remember back in the 80's when girls would dance behind the glass and they would get paid that way because all of thier money would go into the little machine that opened the sheild over the window. The girls would get an hourly wage and then they would get a commission off of what the customers would spend on the show. But because she was in a little room and had no way to get tips from the customer directly, she would have to wait until management paid her via a pay check until she made anything.

    Sounds like this place is oporating off that same business model, but is stage and lap dancing instead of peep show. I agree with the others. It sounds like this place is not worth the trouble. You might as well work at Wal-Mart, you will probably make about the same money for your shift. Plus you'll have bennies at Wal-Mart.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Well, from the way I read this, for every $15 LD the club confiscates 7.50 and the dancer is handed the other 7.50. Then at the end of the night the dancer 'declares' half of her actual income as her 'real' income which is run through a club payroll system. Thus the dancer keeps $3.75 in undeclared income per dance and runs the other $3.75 through the club's payroll system which eventually regurgitates maybe $2.00 in the form of a weekly paycheck after tax withholding -> meaning that the dancer actually gets to keep $5.75 of the customer's original $15. This also means that the dancer can't legally report the $3.75 that was not run through the club's payroll system as income (because she officially declared only half of what she earned), thus it can't be used as official income to justify loan applications, investments etc. The dancer can't report the $3.75 as independent income without violating IRS law, either by failing to report it to her 'employer' the club, or by attempting to fraudulently report it as income from an independent business venture which doesn't actually exist.

    This is even worse than it looks !

    That's some of the worst shit I've heard yet. Why would ANYONE with a lick of common sense work there and get taken advantage of like that??? It's sad, disturbing and the owners of that place should be arrested for running a joint like that. Giving lap dances for less than minimum wage??? Oh damn.....

    Given the LD percentage and club payroll system, any dancers who are taking home more money as a dancer in this club than they could earn at WalMart must have something 'extra' going on !
