Ok DJ's... I have a question.... here's a quick background. The club I work at has been going through a lot of changes the last few months (renovating, new managers, new staff, etc.). Some of this has caused us to lose a large customer base, but it is slowly coming back. We are also located out in the middle of nowhere Tennessee. Most nights the girls are lucky to take home $50-$60 after paying house fees (for an 8 hour night). There are many nights that I have made less, but due to loyalty and convience I am staying put. So here's the problem. Because of this, the girls just don't have the funds to tip the DJ, or if they do it is very little. Trust me, we all feel badly about this and wish we could tip... it's just everyone if really strained right now. The DJ does get paid by the house, I'm not sure how much, but I am sure it is more than we are making right now. So anyway, our DJ was so mad Friday night that he didn't get tipped, that when he came back Saturday he refused to play any of the music we requested (at our club we pick the music for every set), or encourge tipping from the crowd, etc. to teach us a lesson. He also said some very nasty things about the girls over the system (we're a bunch of stripper whores and so on). We don't need a lesson... we just need some understanding. So, is this how you as a DJ would handle this situation, or would you understand the dillema the girls are in? What do you suggest?
