Background info - I work in a peepshow, Perth Western Australia. The customer inserts coins and the window 'clears' for a set amount of coins. We have no way to communicate with them, other than yelling and mime.
I pride myself in giving a great show for the money spent.
On Friday I had a custie come and spend $20 (about 10 minutes of viewing time) about 5 minutes before I was due off stage. (We swap over, one girl does the peeps the other hustles for strips, but I was actually going home, so there were two girls waiting to start, they were doing a double show) So Im on stage doing my thing. A comes out "are you ready to change?"
"No I just had a custie drop 10 coins, Ill call out when hes gone. Put the flags up please"(the 'flags' is a chain with a closed sign across the entrance to the peep area, effectively closing off the area.)
New custies keep coming in
"Are the flags up?" I ask - keep in mind that there are TWO girls waiting to get one stage, one can EASILY stand NEXT to the flags, and prevent customers from entering.
"they keep taking them down." A bitches "Hurry up Celeste, you've already done $100 coin, some of us want to make money too."
"I have a customer that has spent money on me. Wait till he goes, then we can swap over." Yes ok I was terse, as I HATE talking when Im trying to pretend to be all sexy.
So A calls through on the intercom to say that we are changing,(with out consulting me, so she is now getting paid for money that IM earning) walks on stage (Yes I still have a paying customer watching me) and says "Get off. We've swapped over"
"This guy has paid to see me, you take care of the other boothes, but Im not walking off on this guy."
"bitch bitch moan moan (I cant remember exactly what was said, but it was about how Ive already made lots now SHE wants to get on stage to make money)"
"Jeez A! - FINE" I grab my stuff, apologise to the customer and walk off stage. The customer also leaves, with his booth OPEN so now someone else gets a free show. I get on the intercom to the manager "Can you please apologise to that customer, I was forced to walk off stage, even though he had paid to watch me?"
He does so, and the guy buys a strip ($40 for 10 minutes) then tips me $100 in the show.
Yes it had a happy ending but I felt extremely unprofessional WALKING OFF on a paying customer. These two girls (well one of them in particular) are notorious for chatting on their phone on stage (while people are PAYING MONEY to see them) walking off stage for no good reason (yet again people complain) and abusing customers "Oh come on you cheap bastard, spend more money if you want anything to come off!" (We actually have a "policy" of being naked and doing a toys show after ONE coin - not that any of us actually DO it, but the first coins are 'teasers' as to your better shows, and abusing people at this stage of your performance causes MANY complaints.) These are a few problems, but I dont get into the dramas that they cause.
But THIS time they affected MY show and MY money.
What would you have done?
