    Angry a BIG rant

    my small town club has been making some changes, changes that are going to wind up giving us a bad image...

    the first that irritates me is the new lighing system. it isn't really that effective, unless the idea they had was to blind every one it has no real purpose..we now have about five laser beams each of a different color scanning the room like a security system that hits you right in the eye and makes me look retarded when trying to talk to a customer (plus the custies get blinded too which makes it really hard to focus on anything in the room), yet i don't want to sit there and complain about this, so i got to the owner..who loves them......

    then we have a series of new djs who are total asses and say things like "these ladies are horny tonight! who in here is horny?! do you wanna get some tonight? holla if you wan a horny lady right now?" for one, i'm not horny, two i certainly don't want the guys to think they can "get some" from ANY of us, and third, that is just tasteless.

    then we get to the BIG problem, one of our new DJs has been taking the female custies while they are tipping dancers, and getting them onstage to strip during that dancer's song. i think this is a problem. i feel if you really want to be a dancer, get an application and try it out as an employe. not only does this irritate the dancer on stage, but the guys go wild over it and throw money at the female custy on stage, rather than tipping the dancer for being such a good sport, plus, the girl doesn't even have the decency to tip the dancer for the time on stage OR buy dances, tip other girls with the money etc. they just pocket it and sit back down the rest of the night. that is taking OUR money and giving it to someone who doesn't even work there and not even circulating it back through the club. i think it is rude and looks bad on the club. it could just be me not being "cool" but i take my job very seriously and i don't take kindly to these things. the owner won't start an ammeture night but she allows the dj to pull up customers who don't ever intend on working there, and don't give the money back...am i just being too miffed about this? i have tried talking to her about this but she seems to think it is all for the better. she wants to make the club "more like dallas" (we are in east texas) but of all the clubs i've worked in/been to as a custie these things just don't happen there. they take notice in the lights being too distracting, the djs can't just say whatever they want, most cussing and such is restricted, and custies are NEVER allowed on stage unless they have a special for bachelors and birthdays in which they don't remove their clothing and they don't dance.

    i just needed to get that out..i did come to east texas to get away from the huge crowds and work in a more laid back environment but now she's making all kinds of decisions that really are making the club worse. i've tried giving her tips about how to spice things up without pissing off other dancers and still making the patrons happy, but she's dead set on this stuff. i think it is a little odd that not three months before this one DJ was fired for saying the F word on the mic, and we were under a very strict music selection, classic, country, and techno/dance only. no ands, ifs, or buts, and NO ONE was allowed to jump on stage no matter how they were haggled. the club was great. she didnt' want the custies to get too rowdy and she liked the older crowd he had. now she's had a complete turn around and all chaos is breaking loose. we get nothing but broke ass college students with no manners, and i can't even walk to my stages without getting harrassed. i would change clubs but the only other two in the area are total dives...and i mean they may as well have dirt floors because the only guys that go there are pigs. any one have similar rants about this or any words of encouragement? i'm really starting to lose my patience. i've delt with it for two months now and it only seems to be getting worse.

    thanks for listining ladies and gents.

    For starters, what the DJs are doing is WRONG. Don't ever take crap like that from someone who is supposed to be helping your stage show, not making dancers uncomfortable. Complain your ass off. It's your right. I've seen DJs fired for making comments like that.

    I've gone onstage with a feature twice and only because she was the one that pulled me up there. And I've always tipped any cash I recieve from customers back to the dancer, but I can see why most girls wouldn't think to do that. As well, I've stripped in between stage shows to keep the customers hanging around until the next dancer goes up and again, I tip any money recieved back to the dancers. It sounds like your DJs need a firm kick in the ass from the dancers. It may very well be that they're retarded and just don't get it. Say something.

    Then again, where I am, dancers are paid for their stage shows so they appreciate amateurs in between their shows so people hang around to tip them. And, they adore going up after me since they know any cash I got is going into their pockets anyways.

    I don't know what else to say. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place but it's not going to get any better unless you do some bitching.

    that would REALLY piss me off. that is definitely going to give some customers the wrong impression.

    and the whole 'getting random girls on stage' thing would annoy me too.

    I'm sure you aren't the only dancer at your club pissed off. Get a bunch of you together and say something. Stage a walk out, something drastic. It seems the manager is too dead set on this for one person to politely try to say something.

    It sounds like a bit of a afree for all in your club at the moment. The comments made by the dj are embarrassing and highly unprofessional and i would be mortified if a dj in the club i work said anything like this, it is totally unprofessional. In the past when clubs i have worked have gone downhill ive seen the only way out was to leave. AS much hasstle as it is, most managers favour theyre own opinion over any of the dancers and will not listen to anyone until the club seriously starts to loose money which might not happen for a while. Myabe if all the dancers got together she might listenen but to be honest, in my experience, too many dancers are too complacent and willing to go with the flow. Not many are willing to stand up and complain if they think theyre job might be on the line. Ask around the other dancers and gage the general feeling in the club among them and the customers. If things are continuing to slide, id find another club with a bit more professionalism and class. Good luck hon, x

    our dance manager just came back from her vacation (the club was informed that she was fired...???) and now the onwer might not be hanging at the club as much...i'm hoping that steph is back that she'll start to be a hardass and be more controling over some of this stuff. tonight was the worst monday i've ever seen in the club. one of our regulars came in and left with two dancers to go out to eat because HE thought it was pathetic. we had nothing but jerk-off 20 year olds tonight. i didn't even make my house fee it was so bad. none of the older guys are coming in now. i really am hoping that the owner stops coming in so that steph can get things back in order. thanks for you replies, ladies. i'll put some updates if anything changes.

    Could you maybe go to another club, even if you had to drive a little further than you're used to? Even if you had to drive like an hour or so it would be so much more worth it in order for you to make more money. Cause, hell, it sucks ass how you didn't make enough for tip out and what the dj's are saying! That only encourages them to disrespect dancers more than they do already! Ugh!
