    Default Here all all the stupid things I want to know

    Okay here goes... I am really sorry if some of these are repeats, but I keep seaching and connot get a clear answer.

    who do I tip when I am working and how much?
    DJ?
    waitress?
    doorman?
    bouncer?

    Do most of you tip a set amout (such as 10%) if the job is well done or just whatever you feel like?

    what customers can I approach with out pissing off the other girls. (I have figured out not to steal men away from the stage seating)


    I have noticed that most of the girls come out in a new outfit after performing on stage, should I do this?

    Do I talk to a customer while I am performing... lean down and whisper in his ear or should I just mouth thank you after getting a tip.

    Basically anything you can throw in that will prevent me from getting jumped by the other dancers my first night. There are alot of unspoken rules and boundries I want to be clear on what not to do.
    As a dancer what do new people do that really piss you off???
    Thanks for any helpful advise you can think of, I love this site.

    Tip outs: For the DJ at my club it is 10%, waitress $0 if you order a drink while sitting with a customer he should tip her, i do however tip the bartender a few $ if i order my own drink from the bar. Doorman and bouncer i only tip if they do something for me like walk me to car, take care of a problem customer, etc.

    You can approach basicly any customer that isn`t already sitting with a dancer, after awhile you figure out which girls have regulars which only spend money on them and arn`t worth your time.

    I keep the same outfit on all night, i absolutely refuse to make more laundry for myself than nessicary!!! Alot of the girls change because they think it will fool the customers into thinking they are a new person but thats never really worked for me.

    When your performing and a customer comes up of course say thank you for a tip, sometimes a little air kiss on the cheek works well also. Usually when you lean in they will say something like "come see me when you get down, etc." but don`t waste alot of time by having an actual conversation at the tip rail.

    So far what new girls have done to piss me off: Coming in and acting like they own the place, needing to borrow something, oh and this one new girl came in and had horrible B.O. Just go in with a good attitude introduce yourself and don`t get in anyones way and you should have no problem! Good Luck!!!

    Tippage: Depends on how much you make, concerning your DJ, for every hundred I make I give him twenty. I make two hundred he gets twenty. three forty and so forth..

    Some clubs make you tip the bar and thats usually ten bucks; Once again it depends on where you work and how much you make.

    Bouncers and doormen get five bucks each unless they have done something for you that day. Bouncers have gotten my money back for me and so forth and the doorman has saved my car from getting peed on. Give them an extra five. They have to eat too.

    If your not sure about which customer is whomevers reg, ... ASK, I always ask them if they are waiting on someone and then go from there.

    if you have questions ask somebody, most of your questions will be answered. Perhaps not in a friendly way but whatever - everybody has to start somewhere. I'm sure you will be just fine. Relax, have fun!

    Personal service is always nice, a peck to the cheek and a thank you for a tip is always welcome. To not do so makes you look like a bitch and well, thats not good..

    Change of clothes, thats so up to you. Do what feels good. if you feel like a certain outfit is not doing you any good change, if not.. work on.

    I hope this helps. Good luck!!!

    Tipping: My club doesn't have a mandatory tipout, so I usually just tip out 10% of what I make. So if I make $200, I tip out $20 total. I tip the bouncer if he helps me carry my bag or takes care of a situation during the night for me, I tip the bartenders no matter what. Once in a while I tip the dj, but we play our music off of a juke box and all the dj does is announce our names when we're on stage, so I don't often tip for that.

    You can talk to the customer after he tips you on stage. Always say thank you, and being on stage is a good time to try to get lap dances. Tell the guy that if he likes what he sees now, he'll really enjoy a private dance. Just whisper it in their ear.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    Really depends on the club. My DJ could be tipped at anypoint of the shift, so long as he got his $15. Other places might suggest a 10% tip out, which would have to be done at the end of the shift. Unless specified, I'd only tip other employees (waitresses, bartenders, doormen, valets) if they provide services.

    I think it's a judgement call you'll get used to as you start working. Sure don't go to a table where there is already a girl there or where a girl is obviously working. But there will ALWAYS be someone who thinks you are entering their territory. Don't let those girls intimidate you.

    Again, judgement call. You don't want to waste all your time in the dressing room changing, but if your stage rotation only gives like one or two performances a night, then you might want to use that as a good changing point. But overall, not a biggie. And if you change TOO much, you might lose business. Most guys don't remember names and can only ask the waitress for "that girl in the blue bikini." If you aren't in that blue bikini, you might have just lost out!

    I think this depends on the crowd. If there's a nice sized group tipping, you don't want to focus too much on one person. But then again, if they see that they get special attention for tipping, it might be an incentive.

    You seem like you've got the right idea already. Everything else you need to know you'll learn along the way.

    * Raises hand *

    I have a question. In many of the clubs I've been visiting, stage sets are done by mulltiple girls at once. In other words, there might be two or three dancers at various sides of the stage. Sometimes it seems like they're working in a clockwise rotation, other times it just seems like a big game of who-can-spot-the-$-first.

    So what's the etiquette here? I would HATE to step on anyone's toes while onstage . . . How can you gather tips? If you're on solo it seems like the easiest thing to do is just to gather them all up afterwards, but if you've been sharing the stage, it seems less clear. How can you be sure that the dude's tip sitting on the rail is meant for you, that he doesn't have his eye on one of the other dancers?

    Also (more generally), when you take a tip from the rail, should you do so after you've given him your 30 or so seconds of attention, or before?
