    Default Stupid DJs

    Not the DJs I work with - they are delightful. And don't get all offended DJ guys - I'm sure none of you would ever (or at least usually) behave this toolishly. This guy was sitting in my bar last night, at the bar, flipping through a magazine. I am not going to even bother chatting up some guy who is too cool to look at the dancers in a strip club. Seriously. A magazine. He stops me and says: "hey." I smile, because I'm friendly, and say "hey. I'm on stage next, but I'd be happy to join you when I'm done" (yes, I actually do talk like that. I know.) He replies, "Oh, I was just saying Hi. I work in a strip club, so you're safe." I laughed (although I already have the foreboding that this guy is a tool) and say "Well, I would say I was UNsafe with the rest of these guys" and he says (Ta-Da) "Well, I've been a DJ for a while, so I mean you are safe from having to work." I look at him and say neutrally: "Well, I COME here to work." "Oh, I've been in the business too long... I haven't been here in a while though, so I thought I'd stop in." I imagined briefly that he was there to meet a staff member thus making him slightly (although only slightly) less toolish... No. He was there to sit, flipping through a magazine, paying $10 a drink (if he tips at all - after all, he's been in the business too long). There are, by the way, 18 bars in a stone's throw from my club. My thing being - dude, if you've been in the business so long, you should already know that I'm only interested in being friendly for cash. We have a friendly and pleasant DJ here I can hang out with, if I am so inclined. We don't need more."

    Seriously that guy - the bouncer or DJ who "knows the game" bothers me only slightly less than the guy who sits around giving the girls "free" back massages (really the girls who do that bug me as well. We have one of those guys as well. There was a new waitress who got stuck with him pawing her all night because she is not used to dealing with these guys and didn't know how to say no, politley).

    Exactly, he's been in the business so long that he must know that we no longer need money, we just dance for fun..
    Ugh, the true DJs are the ones that know that we work for tips and tips alone, I have met a few that will definitely tip the girls (sometimes every girl in the club) because they KNOW what it's like to be a dancer and they know how disrespected non-tipping men make us feel. The tool DJs bother me only slightly less than the guys that have friends that are dancers so they "know" the business. Grrrrr...
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    This sort of thing happens with bartenders too. I know its the kiss of death when someone says "I know the deal, Im a bartender too, Ill hook you up".

    9 time out of 10 they do NOT hook you up, and they think that because they work in the same job they are exempt from having to act like a decent customer. Its also as if they are saying "I know what you are going through, and since I know, you should hook ME up".

    Actually, last week I had two women who ordered 6 dollar frozen drinks, and when I brought them to them they said "Hey, how about these drinks be on the house for fellow bartenders like us?

    My response? "That will be 12.00. Thanks".

    Working in the same industry in anything does not entitle you to get any free perks when you are on the customer side.

    Is it just me, or am I the only one interested in the ladies when I go to a stip club? Pool tables, magazines, what next LAN games?

    Maybe I can order a double long espresso and get some studying done?

    Maybe I can get a round or 3 of pool in and practice my trick shots?

    Just another guy going being a tool

    Magazine in a strip club..... is there even enough light to read it.

    I tip extra to good servers because I KNOW what it's like to work for tips. Some people really need to start trying on others shoes more often.

    Reminds me of the guys that coem in with friends and pay more attention to each other than they do to the naked chick inches from their faces.. Sometimes they even forget to tip! Sheesh

    Bingo. That's exactly what they're saying, and that's what the dude in the OP meant too.

    When I was waiting tables, some of my worst customers were other waiters.

    God, I know I tip well. One waitress said she loved when strippers came in, because they're the best tippers, hahaha. I've tipped up to 50% (it was Christmas, really, he deserved it) and no lower than 20%.

    Indeed, always 20% and if trhey gave good convo A LOT extra, and I will ask for them again.. My guy and are adored at some of our favorite restaraunts because we are non fussy and great tippers, and always in a good mood..
    I'm glad that most of the "in the biz" people that I have encountered have been great tippers and will buy a dance or two, maybe not from me, but atleast help us out, right?
    I think the saddest thing is when ex-male dancers are stingy, they know EXACTLY what we go through and yet they act like pompous asses that are entitled to our attention.. screw you pay me, he he

    Most of the ex-male dancers I've dealt with are broke ass losers who don't know that women don't want them any more. They strike me as semi delutional, feeling like they don't need a job, that they need a "sugar momma" to manage her stripping career.

    I do know a few that made a good move into their own businesses, but were talking 3 guys out of the scores I've known and worked with .


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I can't stand people who try and take advantage of people doing the jobs that they do!

    I always take care of the people that take care of me. That's just the way I am, and it's the right thing to do.

    I'm going to get a part-time bartending job because I'm curious about what it's like to be on that side of the bar. I'm sure my intolerance for these types will only get worse!

    We're SUPPOSED to tip? Fuck me that's what I've been doing wrong when I hit the tittie bars. I thought it was an option.
