I had a situation happen yesterday and I would like other dancers opinions about whether I was in the wrong. I was working the day shift yesterday at a club in Clearwater. It was extremely slow, one of those days where your lucky to make tip out. We had 2 guys come in, both extremely **** up and they started flashing a wad of $20s. A friend of mine (another dancer) and I went up at started talking to them. After about 20 minutes we had both made a little bit of money, however these guys were very grabby. I had one guy ask me to go back for a dance so before I went I went to talk to our bouncer. Now keep in mind we tip out our daytime bouncer $5 for 2 1/2 hours work AND from 5pm on the customers pay a $5 entry fee to the dance area which goes to the bouncer. So I went up to the bouncer, explained the situation and asked if he could stay back in the dance area while I had this customer back there. We go back, the customer pays the $5 dollars and I begin the dance. Within 30 seconds this guy tried to grab my croth and tried to force my head in his crotch. I look around for the bouncer to get some help and he is nowhere to be found. Finally I get away from this guy, run out of the room and theres the bouncer in the DJ booth not paying any attention to what was happening.
I had another girl witness what happened and she said I had to go to the manager and explain what had happened because that wasn't right that I had no bouncer back there. I don't like complaining but I decided to. I went back to talk to the manager, explained the situation and the managers response to me was "if you knew he was going to be a problem why did you take him back, you could have said no". I said it was because it was extremely slow at I decided to take the risk in the back because the bouncer agreed to be back there. Long story short, I got in serious trouble over this and the bouncer gets away with being lazy and doing nothing.
I really would like other dancers opinions about whether I was in the wrong or not or what they would have done in a similar situation.
Thank you

" or something to that effect. If he wanted you as bad as he seemed to, he would have waited happily.
