    Default Is anybody else having a slow week?

    This has been the slowest week I can remember. Is anybody else ahvng this issue?

    Where are you, and to waht do you attribute it?

    I am on Manheim Rd west of Chicago, and the current thinking in my bar is that peopel are already scared b/c they just announced higher heating costs this winter.

    No, not at the moment. This week I decided to work 3 days instead of 2. I can fully judge the week after Im done working 2morrow.

    Well, gas prices are going down here just a tad...like .15 in the last 2 weeks. That makes everyone happy. Pulling cash isnt like pulling teeth right now. But we all have our slow moments. I always always keep hope that one bad week is just off-set for the great weeks Ive been having before the bad week.

    Bad week because of the Jewish holidays-
    Wednesday and Thursday were a holiday, and many people don't work.
    I know this is why many clubs didn't do so well-

    I've been haivng a slow few weeks. I think the increased gas prices has really caught up with people now. That and threat of very high heating costs this winter. Luckily in Oregon we don't get very cold in winter, just an average low of about 40 degrees or so, but still we have a few cold weeks every year getting down below freezing.

    My Ebay auctions have slowed considerablly as well. When I do sell something, it is for much lower then it sold over the summer. But a lot of my auctions are ending w/o any bids at all.

    Maybe if you have a few dollars saved up now might be the time to "make a deal" on that big ticket item you've been waiting to buy!

    the past week or two has been really slow for me (I'm in NYC). This week might be the rain, but it's also that wonderful time of the month for me so that might have something to do with it. The rain is supposed to stop on Sunday so next should get better.

    Yes, it was slow here in SAT. I worked Monday and Wednesday and $470 - $200 of which came from a dancer who I let use my phone to call in her regular (he gave her $$$$, so she insisted I take $200 - nice chick, lol). Not a normal work week. If a dancer didn't have a regular she was ass-out this week.

    Good call! I got a set of new Raquel Welch human hair extensions (lol, I know) on eBay for $9.95- w00t!
    My stuff isn't selling either [].

    I can't tell if it's busy or slow...I'm getting paid the same. Dances didn't sell well last week, but than I was working daytime stage shift, so I wasn't expecting much.

    Feature costumes for sale!

    I'm thinking the pennant games have a lot to do with it. Everybody is eithr going to sports bars or ele having their own little white sox parties. GO SOX!

    While I'm sure that particular clubs and cities may still be doing well, IMHO it's time to admit that the vast majority of clubs and cities are facing the effects of an economic downturn yet again. Besides the energy cost issues starting to seriously impact club customers' 'discretionary income', a host of other signs are present that the economy in general is taking a turn for the worse (much more discussion in Dollar Den).

    This is likely to be a 'bad winter' for dancers all over the USA.

    Now all the Jewish holidays have passed it should pick up some... I hope.

    Though there are plenty reasons to believe Melonie when she says this might be a bad winter all over... fuel and heating costs, inflation, blah blah blah.

    This business is slower. The masses just don't have the disposable income they had in the past.

    Our economy is getting much worse, and the focus in this country is in fattening the pockets of big business and the rich, while not realizing that substantially more money in the average Joe and Janes pockets is what's needed to grow the economy.

    I see more slow days than busy ones on a regular basis no matter where I go. It's not just in strip clubs either.
