    Angry What's with this stupid "bathroom fine"? >:(

    Catch a load of this bull shit!...my club in AC is fining every single dancer $25 each to fix a clogged toilet! Are these fines a fine example of usary, or not?

    There's around 50 total dancers at my club, probably even more! And I know that the costs of plumbing can't possibly equal $1250. My club is known for giving out huge fines for things such as lateness(as much as $50+) or no-show($75), but at least with those fines, in most cases the dancer is getting a fine that she deserves. But to charge every single dancer a $25 mandatory "bathroom fine"? Apparently they did this to dancers before, except the fine was $5 or $10 instead of $25. The toilet incident occured before my friend even got hired to work, yet she still has to pay the $25 fine like everyone else. It's so stupid and for most of us, it's not our faults!

    My friend/roommate Keith wanted to know if the club paid for any overhead costs, or if they relied on us dancers to pay everything for them! Doesn't it seem that clubs are taking advantage of dancers with fines for everything imaginable? Maybe I should breathe in every 5 seconds, insteada every 6 seconds...or else I'll get a "breathing" fine!! I think you get the idea...

    is it a manager or owner charging this? maybe the owners dont know about it and the managers are skimming off of it. that happened at our club but its a national chain.

    Ugh, that is so messed up! Of COURSE they're taking advantage! You already PAY to work there because it's THEIR club, not yours. Keep a plunger or something around so if a girl does something, she can try to fix it before the managers see it.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Plumbing can be that much money. If even there is a huge bill your friend is not the one who caused it or was even there when it happened. I have no idea why they are holding all dancers responsible. I wouldnt pay it. If its a $25 bathroom fine this month next month itll be a breathing air tax. Its posts like this that make me happy I havent been truly screwed by the club.
    What happens if the girls dont pay it?

    If it's in the dancer's bathroom, it's probably the dancers flushing things that shouldn't be flushed.

    Or just faulty plumbing. At Stiletto NYC the ladies' room toilet was always broken. You'd have to sneak upstairs to the upstairs toilet. If you were caught, you'd be yelled because they skate by on the 60/40 rule and no scantily-clad women are supposed to be in the 60% of the floorspace that is empty.

    Our toilet in our dressing is always having problems from girls flushing stupid things. Like baby wipes. Unless you get the wipes designed for using after the toilet, not baby wipes which are not made to be flushed, then our toilet will get backed up. I hate it, and hardly ever use the toilet at work, so I would be very pissed if I had to pay the $25 fine. Although I can understand managements frustration. We have signs CLEARLY posted not to flush certain items, girls do anyway. Even when the toilet is backed up, stupid girls will still pee/poop in our dressing room, making it even worse. Since almost every girl will scream they didn't do it, they are probably fining everyone.

    hmmm sounds a little fishy to me.... i would refuse to pay it or go to a new club.... thats completely ridiculous... so i'm guessing with tip out on top of the $25 bathroom fine, you're paying about $75 out to the club???? thats a hefty price for to dance somewhere, unless you're at an extremly nice place where you know you're going to make decent solid money every night..... hopefully they get rid of the bathroom fine..

    Everyone who pays that fine is begging for more of the same in future.

    Management and owners need a crash course in the concept of "business overhead." There are certain expenses in the maintenance of a business, and they don't get to simply pass on every incidental expense to the dancers!

    That's nuts!!!! I can't possibly see how that's even legal! If it were me, I wouldn't pay the fine. I would pee right before I got there and hold it the whole night, just don't drink alcohol and don't drink a lot of water. I know that sounds crazy but I'd tell them that you have this thing that you don't ever use public bathrooms and since you don't and haven't used their toilet, you're not paying to use something that you don't even use. See what they say or find another club. I'm not a lawyer but I would think a club could legally get into trouble for that. Even though we're independent contractors (I'm assuming you are at your club) I can't see how they can legally make you pay to use the bathroom! As you said, what next a breathing fine? How about a blinking fine, you pay every time you blink your eyes! Or a heart beating fine! WTF?

    If it's a case of the toilets getting clogged from things that aren't supposed to be in there then they should have the someone monitor the toilets. If dancer X goes in there and the toilet automatically clogs, then they'll know she did it. Or maybe they have old, crappy pipes and are too cheap to pay for it themselves so they're making the dancers pay for it instead. What next when they're electrical wires go bad? Is it the dancers job to replace those since we need the lights for our stage sets?

    Such BS!!!!!

    Is there no other club you can go to PD? This club is sounding more ridiculous with each post you make...

    When the toilet in the ladies room in my club broke we (the dancers) didn't have to pay to fix it but if we flush a tampon down the toilet it's a $1000 fine.

    I know girls will flush some bad things down the toilet (I believe they pulled out a pair of booty shorts from one in a club where I worked) but good god, you'd think clubs would deal with the reality of having dozens of women who need functioning bathrooms and install decent toilets. As far as fining the employees for plumbing costs, I would so totally report that.

    I HAD to pay the fine. When I went up to the cashier to get paid for the dances and champagne room I did, he owed me $170 and told me that he was automatically taking the $25 out of that $170. He said that they were having everyone pay for it that night. So there was no getting around the issue.

    However, I still owe a $75 fine for a no-show one day, so I am going to try and skirt paying it for as long as I can...maybe by the time I quit, I will still be owing $25 on that fine("coincidentally" the same amount of the bathroom fine), so technically I'd be even!

    Wow, I am so glad my club ISN'T like that. In fact I rarely even hear of "fines" being handed out in my club. I feel lucky....
