    Default Customer problem with cell phones and DJs

    I encountered a couple of new things this afternoon and was wondering if it was common place from either a dancer or customer perspective.

    I go to a favorite club... met a first time (for me) dancer and during our pre-dance conversation she answers 3 cell phone calls. They only lasted several seconds each - and she told whoever was calling that she was working - but it kind of killed the mood for me.

    Later on - a different dancer - after dance # 4 of 5 the DJ calls her name up over the sound system. She curses and leaves me alone in the lap dance area and heads for the DJ. She tells me afterward the DJ wanted his tip before he quit his shift. We were really getting into it and it definitely killed the mood.

    Does this happen a lot? Perhaps in the future I need to make sure a potential dancer isn't carrying a cell phone or I don't ask for dances toward the end of a shift?

    You need to stop dancing for ladies that do things like this to you. She did not have to answer phone. I always have to yell at my friends that call me at work-they know my schedule. I always get concerned when my phone rings at work, I have a child. When the phone rings, he's the first thing on my mind. And the DJ can wait for his tip. That's what your dancer should have told him-after she was done dancing for you.

    That's really unprofessional. She should've had the phone on vibrate (if she had to have it on at all), and declined the call if she was busy. If it was an emergency, I'm sure whoever it was would've left a message or kept on calling.

    I hate cell phones. With as important as poeple seem to think they are it is amazing we survived at all before them. ARG.

    Oh and if a dancer answers a call while she is dancing for me, that is the end of my money for her.

    I haven't started dancing yet, but I assume I would rather leave my cell phone in my locker than schlep it around at work.

    She didn't handle the situation diplomatically, but if they call you to tipout, stage, or pay house fees, you are obligated to do that. She should have apologized, asked permission, and returned promptly. The process should only take a few minutes, and she should ensure that you have a beverage while you relax for your break. A decent dancer can get your "mood" back up within seconds of her return.

    I know this is silly , but where do they keep cell phone while on the floor, in their G-String, I'd be too worried someone would jack it if its laying on a table while I was dancing for a custy.

    I agree though, rude and unprofessional....

    No club or club manager worth their salt would require a dancer to leave a custy to go pay another employee. That's just trash.

    I leave my phone in my bag in the locker and check it every time I go in the dressing room. No need to carry around and loose it. Also Ive been tapped on the shoulder early evening to pay house fee while dancing for someone. I usualy pay upon arrival,but its kind of rude when you are in the middle of some thing.

    Dancers shouldn't even have their phones on them, stupid bitch (her, not you).

    I wish it were that way. But if the shift is changing and we havn't paid our fees and tips, the DJ will announce your name (he won't say its to pay them, but he won't say "you're next", so we know its not stage.) But we don't have to get up and hightail it over to pay them, just as long as we do it within reasonable time.

    Dancers shouldn't carry cell phones when they are on the floor. As far as tip-outs go, I have seen a DJ call a girl's name every 3 or 4 minutes if its near shift change and she hasn't paid her tip-outs yet. It's a dancers obligation to get that out of the way early in her shift(assuming she's earned the money) so she isn't getting bugged at the end of her shift-which in many clubs is prime earning time. One club I go to actually requires the dancer to pay her house fee within the first three hours of her shift otherwise it goes up by five dollars.

    Sometimes clubs do stupid things. A few years ago, a now unemployed house mother came into the VIP room I was in with my old ATF and demanded that she go dance her shift onstage (girls are excused from this when in VIP) My ATF went and did her shift just to shut the bitch up but we where both pretty pissed. I complained to the manager and got 15 minutes added to the VIP clock but the whole event was a major mood killer. Fortunately my retired ATF was a master at making me forget about just about everything, including my name sometimes, so it didn't take long for us to get back in the groove.

    Cell phones...been there, done that. See the "dancers looking in the mirror" thread for details.

    As for other interuptions, they suck, but more often than not they aren't the dancer's fault, and a good dancer will try to make them as unintrusive as possible. Around here, and in a lot of clubs with a small dancer rotation, skipping stage sets is not an option, even if a dancer is with a customer. If they let girls skip out, there wouldn't be anyone left on stage, or at least anyone worth looking at.

    Personally i think the DJ could've waited, however if they girls know its a mandatory thing then just get it out of the way earlier so you don't get that happening.

    As far as cell phones, if i owned the club i wouldn't even allow them on the floor. You are at work. Keeep your phone in your locker.

    If customer can't wait 30 seconds for the dancer to run across the room, throw a 20-piece at the DJ, and run back, then he has some major problems. If I get busy for 3 hours, its 6:45, and my DJ wants to go home to his wife and kids, plus he's getting kicked off by next shift DJ, then the customer can fucking wait and look at the other girls or something.

    What if, god forbid, the dancer has to take a leak? Will that ruin the mood forever too? It only takes me another 15 seconds of wiggling ass on cock to get them to "forget". Its your fantasy buddy, but its our job too.

    I agree, she wasn't dancing for me yet though. The incoming calls were during the free pre-dance 'size her up' conversation (other than buying her a drink). I got one dance and we parted. If she got another call during our dance I didn't notice it - if she did - to her credit - she didn't answer it. I also noticed she used the cell phone clip as a money clip.

    It was more like a few minutes. And while I'm waiting in my chair I have to beat back another dancer wanting me to leave our prime dark corner spot so she can dance for her customer. I told her we weren't finished. But I did feel uncomfortable just setting there by myself. And when my dancer finally gets back she tells me she and the DJ were arguing about our dance quantity. Apparently she pays him $2.50/lap dance. We had four but he wanted payment for six. Do you girls have to put up with much crap from DJs?

    Not nearly as much crap as we put up with from our customers.

    DJ's do have a modicum of power, considering that they can play whatever they want, regardless of what they SAY they'll play. They also have the micropohone, so they also have license to spit fire if they wish. But my club doesn't go for that kind of thing. Customers will contact Corporate on a dancer, manager, etc. So the stuff that goes on in this thread is dealt with.

    As a customer, if I sat with a girl who had a phone ringing, whether she answered or not, I'd tell her straight up how rude and unprofessional it is to carry the damn thing around the club and that because of that, I wouldn't be getting any dances from her. People in other jobs are not allowed to carry the damn things around (unless of course it's PART of the job) while working because it's considered bad customer service - neither should strippers. I don't care what the excuse is. As I've posted here before, this is just another example of how the young ignorant girls are coming into the biz with their MTV attitudes and ruining it for all of us Leave the fucking phone in your locker!!!

    With the next girl, I would've stopped any dances with her and NOT bought another after she came back from the DJ booth. That's bad business on BOTH the dancer's and the DJ's part. If they can't wait until the girl is done with her dances, they BOTH need to be kicked in the head. I would've spoken up about that also.

    I'm thinking you should've spoken to the manager about these problems. Clearly they need to start making and enforcing some rules in that club. Girls should not be allowed to carry phones on the floor, DJ should not be calling girls away from lapdances and girls should not be LEAVING lapdances to see what the damn DJ wants.

    These dumbasses do this kind of crap because customers let them get away with it, and even encourage it by buying dances from them after they've pulled these stupid stunts. The few customers who protest or refuse to buy after such stunts, get ignored and called "assholes" by these stoopid bitches because they know there's another guy down the line who'll buy anyway.

    Unfortunately, with the continuing trend of management to turn their heads to what's going on in the clubs and NOT give new girls any kind of training when hired, this kind of crap will continue to get worse. It's up to you custies to vote with your wallets and don't reward these girls for their bad behaviour and poor customer service.

    A-fucking-men!


    To elaborate just a bit more on the girl getting called away by the DJ. At my club at shift change, the night DJ simply makes an announcement when he first comes on, that "if any girls haven't seen (dayshift DJ's name here) yet, please come quickly". That's our reminder we need to come tip him if we haven't already, and he hangs out a few minutes at the bar while the girls who're busy with custies reach a stopping point to excuse themselves properly and go tip him out. THAT'S the way it should be handled. The friggin DJ can wait a few damn minutes for their $ - I'm sure they won't die if they don't run out the door as soon as the clock strikes "shift change".

    And a professional girl knows how to excuse herself to use the bathroom or freshen up without killing the mood for custies as well. It's one thing to cool down to a point and excuse yourself for a few - it's quite another to run out abruptly in the middle of dances.

    Its a pretty steep fine if your caught with a cell phone on many club floors.

    As for the DJ,wow,thats grounds for an ass woopin where im from,you NEVER stop a girl while she is making money,ever!

    If the building is on fire,they are the last ones you evacuate,and only after its determined that the fire will burn out of control and take the VIP room with it.

    we're not allowed to have our cell phones on us where i work. i was suprized that the girls even needed to be told that. we're supposed to keep our phones in the locker room. as far as the dj thing goes, that was VERY rude of him and she should have ignored him. he should have waited for her or asked her earlier, and if he really needed to leave at that very moment, then he should ask her for the tipout the next time he worked. at my club we don't have "mid shifts" so the dj for that particular shift always leaves at the same time as the dancers. he usually waits around about a 1/2 hour while the girls get off the floor and do their tipouts. they won't let the girls stay much longer than their shift anyway.

    on a sidenote, whenever i'm in the locker room during shift i hear a dozen or so cell phones go off with different ringtones/songs. it's getting kind of old, lol.

    The cell phone ep is pretty tacky. I only carry mine when I'm expecting a VIP reg to text message me to let me know he's arrived. And all I feel is the buzz in my purse, so it doesn't disturb anyone's groove.

    The DJ/housemom thing can't always be helped. I was onstage in Dallas once and the housemom picked that moment to ask me if I was planning on tipping her and the DJ. I told her no and went back to doing my job. Don't front me when I'm onstage. If you really need my $10, you'll wait till I'm off. I did end up tipping the DJ though.

    At my home club, that doesn't happen. It's well understood that asking for a tip from dancers who AREN'T troublemakers, problematic, new to the biz, etc... is bad form. Then again, we don't have mandatory DJ/Housemom/Bar tip outs (we pay one flat fee between $25 - $55) so it's highly unlikely anyone would bug a dancer for a tip here.

    When it comes to house fees though, the DJ will call out a list of dancers before 12:30a, which serves as a warning that if you don't pay now, you'll be charged a $5 late fee.
