So, Ive been at my club for 6 months now. I work 2 nights a week (Sat and Sun) and MAYBE sometimes throw in an extra. I always tip out well, never start problems, never get drunk. Just work. I am a top girl. Lots of girls only make $100 a night.
So, this night, last Saturday I was working. Since we were closed Sunday I had my Sun reg come in. We ended up in "VIP" (its just a box where we charge extra for dances and can skip stage) Hes usually a couch guy - $20 dances but since I didnt want to go on stage I took him into the back. I usually do 3/$100 but for him did the min - $25/song. Made $200 off him.
The end of the night - Im counting my money - I seriously thought I made more than I had - felt like I was running around all night but I guess I didnt.
I do my tip out - $20 for the manager - $20 for the DJ - $15 for each bouncer (theres 2) then I look and see I had more $1s so I throw the bouncers each an extra $5.
I give everyone their money. Getting ready to leave when the manager Trisha calls me into the office. She says "Audrey, with what youve made tonite dont you think you should have tipped more?" Im thinking "what Ive made? - I didnt make that much"
I know this is about Troy - a bouncer I *thought* I got along with well. Im thinking - I gave everyone $20 - WTF? So I throw everyone an extra $5. Its not the money now - its the point.... Ive always tipped well, why is he complaining about my tip when hes getting what - $5 from these girls that make $100.
I was pissed. Seriously steaming. Ready to quit. But I like this club. I couldnt figure out what happened.
I figured it out. I forgot that I had spent some money with Lois - she made me an outfit. OK, so I DID make a bit more than I thought but not THAT much. AND I think they thought I did 3/$100 dances and made more from my regular. AND I threw in the intermission songs free (theyre 1 min and some girls charge for them) But still - whos business it is how much I make and since when is there a mandatory minimum tip out?!
I went in Wed night and was in the smoking room. Told Gary (other manager) that I need to leave at 12 because I have school in the morning. I said Trisha said its ok on school nights to leave early - his words "OK, but make sure you take care of everyone" OK - this PISSES me off. WTF do you mean by THAT sarcastic comment? I say nothing but this comment ruined my night. At 11 I corner Gary. I tell him all that happened and said Im seriously upset that they would think Im trying to screw them. I told him that I never cause problems, always make money, always tip well, etc etc.
He says - Theyve had a few other girls complain about Troy wanting more money for tips lately.
SO this takes me on another trip. WHY would Trisha make me tip more and WHY would Gary make that rude comment when they KNOW hes been getting greedy about tips? So, needless to say I told him it was Troy or me. Im not putting up with this crap - I can work anywhere but I choose this club because I like the management and girls and I *thought* the bouncers. Gary will be talking to the owner about Troy.
I dont want him to lose his job over me. I just dont want to be hassled about $5 again especially when it wasnt called for. If Id have made $600 and only tipped out $80 then yea - maybe but this was BS. Guess Ill find out what happened tonite - I want to say something to Troy - explain what happened (with the $25 dances and outfits) just to keep things mellow. Blame myself just so theres no tension. Dunno tho - should I suck up my pride just a little bit to keep the waters smooth (thats if hes still working there) Oh I hope he didnt lose his job over me or isnt going to be a jerk to me because he got a talking to over this. Im almost dreading going to work tonite.
