    Default The club from HELL!! a rant

    Picture this- Last Friday night, the shift started at 6pm and we had not one customer for FIVE HOURS. There are 25 girls. Eight customers get there and they don't feel like spending........So the owner decides to throw out the managers' schedule and says he's running a promo parade every hour on the hour for the rest of the night!!

    THREE HOURS LATER (2am) more guys finally show!!! OK, I shake it off. House fee is paid but I haven't made anything yet so it's Showtime! I get more dances and a VIP but the crowd's fading fast.

    Two hours later it's dwindling back down to 20 guys. One of my bouncer buddies points out a casino exec who babysits high rollers. Girls are so fed up from not making money all week and all night that they're not even approaching the guy. The bouncer gives me a head's up to schmooze it over. I schmooze and he tells me how the girls are racially profiling him (he's Puerto Rican) I say no and explain it's an unusually busy night so they're a bit tired. He tips me for talking to him. He tells me he's picking up a high roller up from the airport tomorrow and will be showing him around. The DJ calls all the girls--"even those with customers in the dance room" to the back. I thought "Fuck! Another promo." My guys' wrapping his story up. The DJ calls me by name! I slowly rise not to hurt the guy's feelings and he digs to give me his card. I swear to come right back.

    I go to the back and the owner screams at me because "when he calls I must come!" I explain that the exec brings high rollers in and of course I would never miss a promo . He says "it's not a promo it's a meeting!" He yells for TWO minutes then sends the girls back out to find their abandoned custys!!

    Did I mention I made a whopping $160 (not counting a sizeable tip) after this 9 hour ordeal?!

    My first question to the manager would have been "Why didn't we do this meeting in the first five hours when there where no customers??" and w/o waiting for an answer, I would have walked right back out on the floor to keep HIS paying customers entertained.

    Then he has a choice to make-chase me down to try and reprimand me w/o finnishing his meeting, or facing his dancers who are all looking at him like he is a moron for calling this "meeting" while customers sit around wondering where all the girls went.

    Managers hate me! The smart ones have learned to kiss my ass to keep me around, as I will stir up trouble with the dancers. I happily confront managers on behalf of other dancers if the manager is taking advantage of her. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut with people who are stupid and/or on a power trip.

    I think you just answered your own question. Bad management= no business!

    If this person was a better manager, he would have plenty of business and happy customers. I know that dancers will put up with a lot of BS if there is cash flowing. But dancers flee like rats from a sinking ship if there is no money and lot of BS.

    Oh, you better believe he got an earful from me! Another girl said right in front of him "there's no money". He knows we're dyin' and he only cares about feeling powerful!! The manager told him not to have all the promo interruptions. He was told that "it's not his club so just do what he (the owner) asks!"

    When he bitched me out I told him I was talking to a casino customer care guy who might bring in high rollers so I didn't want to further piss the guy off by standing and leaving him flat. I told him the guy was handing me a card so I couldn't walk off. I told him it took two minutes tops to disengage from the guy. He said "when I say come you come now!" He demanded I give him the guy's card so he could throw it out!!! We're not allowed to meet customers OTC so he said taking his office number on TRUMP PLAZA embossed business card qualified as violating that rule! He said "if I didn't like it I could get my stuff and get out!" I said "gladly!" Of course I read my contract and it says no such thing but it's such a shitty environment with his mood swings, ineptitude, and dwindling customer base that I had to cut my losses!

    Now, I'm gonna work at an established north Jersey club I know is rocking every weekend--even in summer! I moved heaven and earth to work by the beach but I should have gone back to my home club instead of fooling with an untested club.

    *sigh* Just another perfect example to show that there are more inept people in "positions of authority". This isn't a case of the bad apples ruining it for the good ones... it is a case of that there are usually bad apples and the good ones (just like smart strippers) are always in the minority. Sad yet true.

    I'm with Paris. I also have dramas as I do not suffer abuse and mis-use of one's authoritive position. I will give lots of respect to those who are good managers whereas I refuse to be treated so poorly by those who really do not know what they're doing (well, they think they know everything lol). I deal with inept patrons why should I deal with the same stupidity and incompetance from those in positions of power (as such).

    I do have some rights and I know them.

    None-the-less, the OP is better of definately.

    My manager does stuff like this too. I don't understand why they don't see how that could be BAD for buisness.

    some managers/owners just do not deserve the power trip!!

    I swear some people who own/manage/run a club or adult service business is so stupid - they in a sense are selling the service of the girls that work at their club/for them so why do they treat them like shit?

    maybe they should go to business school and learn the basics of caring for staff and ensuring that their product/service is in good condition all of the time (meaning that the girls are happy)

    good luck xx

    Thanx, mild2wild! It blows but what can you do. Ironically I was going to sit a bunch of very young girls down to train them since they were successful with some things I told them. It was so cool to see them get hyped after selling to some brick wall customers. Well, they'll learn. Hopefully.

    Write a review of this place in the Club Review section so other women can save themselves the agony.

    9 times out of 10, unfortunately, "managers" don't even have a high school education, and know nothing about customer service or salesmanship.

    Here's something I find interesting: we have dancers on SW (obviously) and customers, as well as DJs. Where are all of the managers? If I were a manager, this would be one of my first pit stops. It's very easy to find SW on Google with keywords like "stripping" or "exotic dance". But most managers I've met wouldn't even know what Google is!

    This guy is a LAWYER!!! I was stunned. He didn't even prepare a complete binding contract!! Good point, though. The heads up will save some the aggravation of dealing with his drama.

    I just tried but the club isn't even listed. Some of the clubs for Atlantic City don't even exist anymore. VG, Velvet, Tina!!! HELP!!

    Are you sure he's a lawyer or someone who bought a diploma off the internet? If he's a lawyer, why in the hell is he working as a manager at a strip club and not litigating for some big law firm? If he truely is a lawyer (which I doubt, maybe he applied to law school but didn't get in), he A) wouldn't be a strip club manager, he'd be the club's lawyer for all legal matters and B) would certainly know how to manage people better than that. That's a terrible way to run a business, to call all the girls all at once in the back for a meeting in the middle of a shift! If he wanted a meeting, he should've done it before or after work, planned it in advance like say "next Friday at 7am we're having a mandatory staff meeting...., or if it was truley necessary to have it right then and there like if there were some problems or issues that needed to be discussed, he could've done it in groups like any dancers that weren't currently with customers or ones that were on breaks and then rotated around. No club will stay in business when all the dancers are in the dressing room. Seriously, even though there are cheap customers that "don't get dances", they're there for seeing the girls, not for the great beer!

    He owns the place. He came in Friday evening and took over, basically pushing the manager aside and forcing the manager to do it his way. Even the DJ suggested maybe he should not be hasty in calling for hourly promos, etc.

    The workers are really convinced that as the owner he should be given the last word. The House mom and bouncer and other dancers tried to convince me to apologize to HIM!! The house mom was sweet and said she thought he was just stressed and the club could really use dancers like me.

    I read the whole story rather calmly until I read that part. I was like, "oh hell no!!" That is ridiculous. So have you left the club? How long were you there for? I hope you at least kept that high rollers card.

    OH yea, and I would've asked him why the hell we didn't have a meeting during the first 5 freaking hours of no customers. What a dick!

    You damn right I kept his card! I had to get out of there and resigned/was fired because I wouldn't give him the card. It's not in the contract that we can't accept legitemate business contacts! I showed the card to the bouncer so he could see it was legit, not a cell or home number.

    I think he called the meeting in the middle of the night because he thinks it's like an office where you can call an impromptu meeting. You don't have to worry about breaking contact with a 'fan'. You're breaking contact with another office worker or client who's over the phone. I don't think it occured to him that he broke the performance and virtual girlfriend illusion these guys pay for.

    I mean, this guy has us do the promo by "dropping the top" and SHOWING our boobs to the audience to get them to buy!!! He gives the milk away and wonders why they don't jump to buy the cow.

    I had to go back to my home club and scramble to get on the schedule a month LATE! The manager was nice enough to book me anyway but CRAP!! Now I've got the three hour commute from hell until I can move north again!!

    UPDATE

    Apparently this club owner has a worse reputation than I thought. I met a girl at work. Her two friends auditioned for this owner and he demanded a NUDE lapdance from each girl before hiring them. He even told one girl, "You can grind a little harder."

    So, the name of this club is Allure in Atlantic City. Be careful if you go there. The owner may sexually harrass you.
