ii've been working in this small town club for a year now, and most of my time spent is talking rather than dancing. i feel like its a huge rip off to spend and hour talking to a guy who is "chillin" just like the rest of the men in the room, and take forever to get "drunk enough" to get a dance. it isn't that i'm a bad hustler, its that the club seems to run that way. all the dancers get the same attitude...minus the ones who do extras, and i would like to know a polite way to get paid for my time if they don't want to get a dance just yet. i spend the first three hours of the night talking, two hours finally rounding up the dances, and pretty much all of it trying to sort out the bull i hear from all of them. i used to dance in dallas so things were much easier when it came to money, if they didn't want a dance (which you knew within ten minutes of sitting down) you would move on, and if they wanted to talk they'd tip, or if you talked for a while then they bought dances they'd stuff $1's in your garter during the dance or give you and extra ten or 20..maybe more for your time and entertainment...unfortunately i lost those kinds of guys when i came out to east texas, and i just can't seem to get it across that if you want me to talk for an hour and not buy any dances, i should get tipped for it. i tried talking to one guy about it and right when we got to the point i was called on stage and he ran out the door. he said i deserved to be paid for my time, and we were talking prices...and he didn't shell out the money. he ran like a coward. many of the guys here do that and i'm not a pushy person. i'm sorrry this is so long but i really do want the advice from some of you guys, how do i get the money for my time and not offend them? i left dallas for a reason and i just need to know what i am doing wrong, and how to get properly compensated.
(i'm still new to this community so i appologize if there is already a thread about this that i have missed.)
