So tonight I'm upset. This guy came in tonight and we were having a great conversation on the floor... he asks about VIP, and I don't know the rates for a half hour in there. (The Vip room is rarely used... one girl in there a night is average and doesn't always occur) I asked the manager about this (telling him that this guy just wanted to talk to me for half an hour). He tells me that it's $75 for half an hour, and that on top of that, the dances are $40/song (as always) with $10 going to the house per song. So we go in VIP... the manager takes the $75 at the start. I have a great conversation with this guy for half an hour, with him buying me drinks and not interested in any dances, just conversation... he gives me $20 at the end as a tip. After the half hour the guy leaves.
I asked the manager for my money and he says that it all goes to the house; it's my own fault for getting cheated by this guy and not getting him to spend any more money. He said that I should have already arranged to get a separate flat rate for time spent talking and that I wasted that half hour when I could have been spending that time selling dances on the floor. However, he didn't tell me this when I was asking about rates. It completely sucked for me... I know to some girls that $75 isn't much at all, but at our club the VIP room is rarely used and it's a treat for everyone to go in there. The guy had said he had brought $200 in with him to spend and tipped everyone very generously, both the bar staff and on stage. He had told me that he wanted to give the money directly to us and not to the club and I'm upset that ultimately I didn't see any of it.
Anyway, I ended up crying a whole bunch and my night was totally soured. Luckily I'm out of there, I'm home, and I am taking tomorrow night OFF. Bla.It really sucks when club policy isn't really explained, doesn't really fit the pattern of the regular club workings, and when it cheats me out of money that both myself and the customer thought was going to me and not to the club.
(I'll also say that the potential here, barring regulars, on a Sunday night, is about one-two standard dances an hour. It would be not easy for me to get those 3-4 dances in a half hour period.)
