So this week the Final Four is taking place in Indianapolis. We also have a feature here. My club expected a huge rush this weekend, so they asked all of us girls to pitch in and take extra shifts. My club has been really good to me, so I don't mind helping them out when they need it. Whatever. They also had tons of girls come in from affiliate clubs in two other cities. We had over 60 girls tonight, whereas we would have less than half of that on a typical Friday night.
The problem is, the crowd tonight was SMALLER than a typical Friday night crowd. For whatever reason, Final Four was just not bringing them in the way the club anticipated. So we had twice as many girls competing for fewer than the usual number of men. None of the house girls walked out happy tonight. EVERYONE made less than they normally would on a Friday night. Some girls had horrible nights, money-wise.
To top it off, cover was $20 (usually $7) and drink prices were all raised by a dollar. Nearly every customer all night long bitched about the high cover, the inflated drink prices, and therefore far fewer men were buying dances.
Here is my big problem: our house fee was TWICE what it would normally be. For more girls, fewer men, and fewer spenders due to the ridiculous cover and drink costs.
I don't know if the club needed to show corporate a big income this weekend because of final four or whether they needed to cover the cost of the feature, or maybe they just wanted to gouge us girls because they can. Either way, the burden shouldn't fall on us. Why do we have to pay EXTRA for a crappy night when most of us took time out of our lives this week to work extra shifts? This is how they repay us?
I don't know what to do, but I would like to make a formal complaint. I am a valuable asset to this club and if they are going to nickle and dime me like this they cannot expect any further favors from me in the future.
Any suggestions? Do I just need to suck it up?

So take it as a lesson learned. Next time they pull shit like this where they're asking you to come in extra shifts...remind them those are your nights off, if they need you to come in it should be free house right? They will most likely say no but it's worth a shot. Sorry it was crappy for you.
