    Default Stupid Fines

    Hello all,

    I have worked at clubs where the girls have been fined for things that they truly should have been fined for and some things that were so stupid on the club's part that it was laughable. I have been fortunate to not be fined for anything more than being late.

    I would like to know what outrageous things some of you have been fined for at your clubs. This should be interesting.

    In our area they only fine the girls they want to get rid of.

    At Hustler Baltimore I was fined $10 for missing a FREE bachelor party because I was in the couchroom doing a $25 lapdance (club took $6 of each dance) at the time of the party. So was every other girl doing a dance during that song. Club policy was: all girls who weren't in vip or couchroom doing dances had to do the free bachelor party. However at that particular time most girls were doing dances so few went on stage for the bachelor. The manager (a new guy of course ) slapped every girl doing dances during the party with a fine with no warning, even though we were doing what we'd been TOLD to do previously.

    A girl was fined £50 by one manager for checking her texts on her mobile on the floor which is understandable as it doesnt look professional but then a 2nd manager saw her (the same time) so he also fined her £50 which I thought was a bit unfair, 2 fines for one thing. £100/$184 thats one expensive text message!

    On the way to work I had seen on of my fellow dancers getting off the freeway with a flat tire. I got off at the next exit and circled back to try to find her to help, however, I could not find where she had gone. When I got to the club I was 10 minutes late...and I told the manager what had happened and maybe they should send someone from the club to go try to find her and help her. She finally showed up 90 minutes late after getting her car towed and a new tire put on. I was fined $100 for being late, she was not fined at all because she had a reciept from the towing company showing she had a "legitimate excuse".

    I've never been fined myself but the most stupid one I have ever witnessed was a girl being fined $20 because her heels were 5 inches instead of 6 inches

    the real trip on this one was the dancer was a really tall woman to begin with, nearly 6 foot tall !

    Thankfully my current club doesn't do fines. Rules are really relaxed but they will suspend or fire you if you get too out of line. I love this club!

    i worked at the same club for years and in that time i only ever saw 1 girl get fined. my best friend and i quit the club together because it got really bad there, and went to do agency work instead. unfortunately, my friend quit during the week and hadn't taken all her stuff from her locker. so they tried to fine her $200 for quitting, and said that unless she paid that fine, she couldn't have her stuff back. it was only a pair of shoes and some club clothes, so she told them to keep the clothes and if they wanted money so badly maybe they could sell them on eBay

    they were just trying to squeeze whatever they could out of her before she left. when they realised she wasn't going to pay they gave the clothes back, hah.

    A few of the girls in my fav club have been fined $20. when the custy touched them while giving a lappy. The bouncers peep every minute and even charge $5. extra for a wrist band but no extra privies come with the band so I pass on them now. I think they hurt business even more when the custys hear about the fines.

    I wouldn't keep working at a club that handed out fines over nothing. How disrepectful to their moneymakers.
    The interesting thing is many of the low-end dancers put up with this exploitation because they're afraid to go elsewhere. If they would be assertive about their rights, maybe management wouldn't get away with it.

    ^^Why I don't work at above-mentioned club anymore. I told them straight up on a couple occasions I could make money anywhere and have no problem heading out. They tried to say once I'd be back in a month. LOL yeah right. I'll move across country or even across oceans to get a better working environment if I have to. I'm not hanging around for bullshit.

    MY best friend and I were fined after not making it in to work after Hurricane Isabel swept through Richmond.. We had no electricity, no running water and were both new in town so we didn't know anyone close by that did. Neither of us drive and since most of the cab companies weren't running we weren't able to get a cab to work. We called the club and were told that no one even knew if they would be open.
    I wrote a detailed letter explaining what had happened and that we would work an extra day to make it up. My manager read it said thank you and fined us each $150 as a no-show..
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Oh, I do recall an incident that was disgusting. Tropical Storm Jeanne was barrelling through the Carribean, and the club made us all show up even though the island was on lockdown advisory. They just wanted to collect on our stage fees, our safety be damned. My guardian angel came through that night and a friend of mine showed up and bought me out- I left my number with one dancer in case they got trapped by the storm.
    Shortly after that I dumped that booking- that club was infamous for maltreating dancers.

    Oddly enough, I actually think I've met this person you are referring to. If not, it was a dancer with the identical story which is also possible.

    I think I've got the one that will top all of you guys' though. I met a dancer who told me this story as she witnessed the aftermath first hand. A dancer was fined $20.00 for being late on the floor for her shift, which is normal for many clubs. The reason she was late though was because she was having sex with the GM of the club in his office. After they were done, she went to work and one of the other managers caught her being late and said something to the GM about it. The GM, who just got through having sex with her five minutes earlier, then fined her the $20.00. Talk about a scumbag. From what was witnessed thereafter was the dancer walked into the office and yelled at the GM with the door open so everyone could hear. Phrases such as "You just f**ked me and now you are going to fine me for being late you !*[email protected]/!# ?!" were heard throughout the club and the dancer grabbed her stuff out of her locker and left for good.

    I've actually known dancers that were warned/fined for shoes that were too short.. These were usually older women who didn't have the leg strength to tolerate our huge heels.. They wore pretty shoes and made money and were loved by dancers and paying customers alike. Plus like another poster said they were already tall..
    For a manager or owner to care what our shoes look like is ridiculous! Plus this was a club where "If I don't see it you can do it" was the motto.. Just weare platform shoes if you give a blow job I guess.

    Plus, the reason I didn't walk out was because I DId need the money at the times (we had had a crisis and used up everything thing on clean water, ice and non-persihables... It was a long week and a half). I forgave them forit becasue I made the money back in no time since it was a good club at the time, I don't think it is anymore... I now work at a new club where you are only fined if you are late walkinginto the club or if you leave early without permission, it's a fairly cheap fine that's only 10-20 so nobody is bothered by it.

    We get fined 100 bucks if we don't come in on Friday or Saturday (100 bucks PER DAY) and 45 dollars any other day of the week. We are scheduled 4 days a week, 2 of which are REQUIRED to be Friday and Saturday. Ugh...
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing
