    Default What a crappy night

    I usually do really well on Wednesdays, but not tonight. We had young dipshits and rude oldies all night long. None of the big moneymakers did well. I left with less than $200. I normally don't talk numbers, but when it's this bad, what's the difference?

    Ahhh, well, Saturday is but a few nights away. I just hate nights like this. It's frustrating and it feels like a total waste of time.

    after stripping for a month i've noticed that the ends of the month tend to really suck because people have bills that are due the first week of the month. is that the case with everyone else? after tipping out i only had $80 to take home last night (tuesday). however, money is money.

    In Australia most bills are paid weekly so none of that monthly bullcrap. Except a lot of higher-end jobs pay at the end of the month (with still weekly bills) so that means people celebrate having money at the club so it's usually better, actually.

    Yeah, tonight sucked for me too! There were barely any guys at all by midnight. It was so bad, that they let 3 girls audition past 12am! I only stayed there for about 2 and a half hours before saying "fuck it" and leaving. It didn't look like the night was going to get any better. There were less than 10 customers in the club by that point, a good third of them were girls who'd came along with their guy friends/boyfriends, and more than half of them were playing pool so they weren't available for me to get money from. Good thing my credit card upped its limit...and good thing I have other employment to fall back on...Restaurant Week is coming up in September and apparently it brings in tons of restaurant business, so hopefully I will make slammin money at the restaurant I just started working at.

    I second the end of the month phenomenon. Also, you might want to consider working on Mon. nights now that football season has started. I did notice that more customers seem to come in when the local team is on Mon. night football, so I would definately check the schedule to be sure. (Well that is if your club televises sporting events).
    Anywhoo, it's been slow down here too, and I know that it doesn't really help your bank account to know that, but at least you know it's not just your club.

    I had a crap night last night too! Thought it might just be the new club... blah. I'm gonna give this place another two weeks- that way I'll be sure it's not just the end of the month blues.

    I actually did very well last night. The club was packed with NYPD all night, some of them were serious assholes but they all tipped very well I dunno, I'm sure next week will return to a "normal" Wednesday.

    I had a crappy night too. Very slow... Some one broke into my EXPENSIVE MAC makeup case, broke the lock, stole my perscription medication and spilled liquid latex all over my stuff. Which made my mood very bad, which my hustle worse, which made me like $100. <<I don't usually talk money either, but I am pissed so....

    Restaurant week is the 10-15th in Philly. It's basically popular places having specials so people will try them.

    PD1982. Sounds like you weren't at the Horse. I'm taking this week and next week off. They are going to be BRUTAL.

    And Bella....NJ is going to have the same effect. It's not jsut end of the month. It's end of the summer. So people want to be outdoors as much as possible. It picks up around Sept 8th.

    Wednesday's have been sucking large here in Canada too! I don't even bother to go to work on wednesday's anymore. I used to bank on that night pretty well. But I think it has something to do with school starting in a week down here. Soon though, those college boys are going to pack the club and be spending the remainder of the their OSAP money on...MOI!!!!Hehehehehehe(does evil laugh!)

    Jeez, last night in PHX sucked but was crazy at the same time. It was slow with not many spenders. I think there was one or two tables in VIP all night. I made decent $ but worked up a good sweat for it.

    It was a weird night though. A transexual couple. An 80 year old man taking down his drawers and whirling his dingdong around! He was so drunk he couldn't pull his pants up when security came over. They had to carry him bare ass naked to the bathroom! HeeHee! Good for him. Hope he remembers it!

    Last night wasn't good for me either, only survived cuz a guy tipped me a hundred bucks on stage. End of the month sucks here because all the dancers actually decide to WORK since their rent is due. We ended up with like 20 some odd girls when we should have had 12.

    Being a dancer who works 20-24 days a month I will say that EVERY dancer will have under $100 nights in their mix. Anyone who works regularly will attest to this. It depends on the club and how it is run, how many girls are working, how much volume there is, and who walks in the door.

    A $180-$200 night AFTER tip outs isn't that bad much of the time nowadays. For a dancer who puts in 5-6 nights a week, it is not uncommon to have some $50-$150 nights, several $175-$250 nights and 1 or 2 nights over $300 after tip outs. If that sounds like you, that is realistic. If a girl works enough in the best clubs available to her, some good money nights WILL be in her mix. Just showing up 1 or 2 nights in a week expecting to make $300 plus after tip outs is not that realistic anymore.

    I work with lots of different girls in clubs where dances sold are tracked, and I see what girls make.

    And many of you guys work in tougher situations than I do since I work 6 day club bookings with base pay and a fixed amount of girls.

    The more structured a dancer is in regards to treating dancing like a career, and not just quick money, the more her slow nights will be balanced out by better ones. I know Emily and Bridgette can attest to this since they work full time like I do.

    ^^^ For sure.
    I look at my 2 weeknights as tickets to work Friday and Saturday night when I know I bank. Whatever I make those 2 nights I accept because after the weekend it's pretty even.
    But yeah last night in PHX was shit. One big baller and the rest thought a $10 dollar lapdance would put a hole in their wallet. Whatever thats life in the stripclub.

    No, I wasn't there that night. I was working at my other bar, a smaller place out in the suburbs. I go there occasionally when I need a change of environment, or desiring a shift that usually lets out earlier(e.g., 6-10pm), so that I can get fully rested for work the next morning. And yeah, I've been warned about how bad it's gonna be over Labor Day. Good thing I'm taking a 3-day weekend!(cause of how bad it'll be, plus it's my birthday on Monday) Hopefully it'll really pick up next month and if the Eagles do really good(like in '04), maybe that'll help our earnings a lot! Go Eagles!

    I could not agree more. I have always told myself never to get to excited about a really great night and to never get to disappointed about a bad night, because it all works out in the end if you go to work to work.

    Also because 2/3 of the strippers don't have their rent and come rushing in at the absolute last second to scramble for it. So not only is customer spending down, but dancer volume is up, which makes for a very frustrating week. I can't tell you how many frantic chics I've watched cry and squawl in the dressing room about how shitty the guys are, "and I've got to make $800 by TOMORROW or I'll get EVICTED!!!" Ugh.

    I called out last night and tonight. I will go back after the monthly scramble is over - there will be hardly any girls working after about the 4th of the month. Watch and you'll see; it happens every time, in every club

    It's been a loooooong time since I had to scramble at the end of the month for rent so I tend to avoid working during that time of the month. Too irritating.

    but rent is REALLY due on the 5th of the month, so it's actually the beginning of the month that rent is "due". Then there is always drug money or boyfriend bail money.

    I forgot Speaking of which.....oh shit!! I gotta go to work today.

    (I really hate perpetuating a stereotype, but it's so effing funny.)

    LOL!! But in some places, it's due on the 3rd. Rat bastards, making us pay early!!

    Don't forget the car repair money.

    Or.....Oh shit!! I planned a trip for next week and I'm flatass broke!! I gotta get my ass in and work doubles for the next 3 days so I can still go on my trip!!

    Or......FUCK!!! I scheduled my boob job for Monday, it's Friday and I'm fucken broke and the rent's due!!! And my doc says if I reschedule I'll have to wait a whole 'nother month! But since I waited so long, if I don't do it on Monday, I'll lose my deposit!! SHIT I better get my ass in to work! I gotta make $8000 by Monday!!!

    Or.....GODFUCKENDAMMIT I just got my tits done 3 days ago, I'm broke, rent is due in two days, my landlord has already threatened to kick my ass out twice before, my doc says I shouldn't work for at least 4 weeks but I gotta go make money! Fuckit, I'll just dance reeeealll slow.

    I find the end of the month is actually good because it's pay day for most people, at least in Vancouver. What I find sucks are the long weekends and the week after the long weekend. I don't bother going in those times, or at the very least I lower my expectations of what I should make. THe only guys that are at the strip club are the ones that have no life and no friends and can't figure anything better to do on a long weekend but go to a strip club. And the weekend after? Either the same losers as the week before or people who spent all their money during the long weekend and now are broke.
