    Default Why be a waitress?

    I was just wondering if anyone has any insight into why strip club waitresses even bother. At the club I'm at the waitresses make very little money (like $30 to $70 on average a night). As the night goes on they start embracing and caressing customers, playing with their nipples and giving out sob stories about their children who need money for medicine. I mean these girls can hustle and they're clearly comfortable physically interacting with customers, so why don't they just dance? Which would make them a lot more money and definitely pay for their kids healthcare needs or whatever else.

    They're already in the adult entertainment environment so why not just take the next step? When I used to waitress I made more than they did and I didn't have to put forth a large effort to get people to tip me well other than being nice and providing good service. If you're going to act like a fun loving sexpot than just dance like the rest of us and make a lot more money! Does anyone understand the rationale behind choosing to waitress at a strip club over dancing (other than at really nice clubs where the waitresses can probably do much more decently)?

    I understand why some girls (waitresses) get dolled up, flirt like hell and still only serve drinks.
    Simply: they dont want to get naked in a full full of strangers.

    ^^^ I agree. They probably are very comfortable hustling and flirting with the customers, but aren't comfortable with the idea of actually getting naked in front of them. Two totally different things.

    ^^^^i agree. some girls just arent comfortable with themselves to dance. others dont want to disapoint their familys or cause problems with their SO. IT is a personal choice. let them do what they are comfortable with.

    I guess thats the weird thing for me; I consider the nudity to be one of the easier parts of the job. Hustling and dealing with gropey guys is more work and more stressful for me than taking my clothes off. I feel very natural and comfortable on stage but not always so when I'm working the floor.

    I agree with that...I often wondered the same thing. I jsut assumed it was a boyfriend thing.

    It's a mystery to me, too. Waitresses at my club have 'regulars', sit on laps, flirt for tips, and sometimes dance on the stage. They're almost in competition with dancers, but for way less money. Why don't they just buy some platforms and a thong and get on with it?

    I can tell you exactly why. I used to waitress.... I had no problem with the hustling, no problem with the interaction... I just didnt want to get naked in front of a club full of men. I enjoyed working in the enviorment I just didnt want to get on stage and strip. I wasnt confident with my body.
    Other girls its a family thing... their familys wouldnt want them doing it. Some its the fact they are in school(ie law or pre-med) and they're scared if they danced it would ruin a future job. Or its just a boyfriend thing.
    I was just way to shy to dance... hell when I first started waitressing in a SC I was scared to even look at the girls on stage, I thought I would offend them

    Well, if they are touching the customers it's a little more mysterious. Most waitresses I know don't do that. They just serve the drinks and flirt distantly.

    At least where I work waitresses make a lot of $$ too... Most of them have established regular customers and they make it a point to flirt and tease too... The waitresses where I work have one advantage over dancers (just like we have several over them), credit cards... Many customers have no problem leaving a huge tip for a waitress off his plastic, whereas they may be a little bit more stingy with their cash...

    completely agree that taking off the clothes is the easy bit. it's having to pretend i WANT to approach these guys and that i care about their crap and i HATE flirting with someone i'm not interested in.... i suppose i'm a little stale seeing i haven't danced in a little while which probably makes it harder and makes it seem worse than what it is. i'd love to come back i just dont know if i can deal with it mentally yet

    same for me. I am not a natural hustler and I'm more used to going to a nightclub and having some dude hit on me and ignoring him so going up to guys and trying to get them to spend money on me is hard and I'm not comfy with it yet. As far as the nakedness, it's a SC and it's dark so it doesn't really bother me. I wish I could just make a ton of money just getting naked and no hustling but I guess that doesn't work, not here in Tampa at least.

    I also agree ^^^^

    Whenever I take off my top I don't even really think about it.

    Let me start by saying that I manage a multitude of people that make their living as a waitress! Your estimation of income for the girls in your club is pitiful...my servers earn a bill or two nearly every night that they step into my establishment...They work in family dining!!!...with that said...!!! It is likely that many people lack the self esteem and ultimatley the salespersonship that is required to be truly successful at what you do. Your profession (particularly your self image) is perpetually bombarded by objectification and political correctness. Perhaps some girls feel that it is o.k. to be a waitress but not a dancer...per se! Mostly let me commend all of you for managing to work proudly in an environment that is constantly under fire and criticism.

    yeah, I don't see why anyone would want to serve in a SC if they only make $30-70 AND they are getting touchy with the customers. Forget that! I have a friend who waits tables in a restaurant and sometimes he makes $500/night or more and he's a big heavy GUY!

    ^^ those are just usual range of sums I hear them tell me. I mean they definitely can make more on a busy night. Tonight one of the waitresses was very happy because she made almost $200 but she also spent the beginning of the night making out with some guy. Same girl told me the whole not feeling comfortable on stage thing and how she was sure she couldn't do it. Eh, to each her own I guess. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting my mouth on a customer in any form, let alone their mouth.
