    Default Did I do something wrong???

    long story short...

    had my first VIP..myself,another dancer and two custys. they told us to pick whatever we wanted for bubbly...i started reading names off the list until they said "sure whatever sounds great"..i advocated a magnum bottle because we are supposed to get them to buy a bigger bottle to get housefee waived

    champagne hostess pulls both us girls aside and yells at us ..she more or less said "you downsold me on champagne"

    i felt horrible about it..did i do something wrong?

    why would i have the guys buy the most $$$$$ bottle, so they can spend less on me?????

    and i still had to pay housefee..apparently the magnum wasn't expensive enough. whatever.

    Well, if money wasn't a big deal to the customers, then why didn't you choose the most expensive bottle? The champagne hostess was probably upset because you cut in on her share of the $$$ as well. Plus, depending on the club, you could've gotten a bigger cut of the champagne as well.

    So...since you decided to not get the most expensive bottle of bubbly, did the guys continue to spend more money on you?

    i have no clue how she gets paid and i understand her being uspet but she was flat out bitchy and rude about it. Regardless she should have explained in a calm and non-pyscho manner (without pinching and grabbing my arm) and NOT in front of the guys. It looks unprofessional.

    i didn't pick the bottle i read off the names until the guys said sure (and for the record they chose the smaller bottle and i suggested getting a magnum since four of us would be sharing it)

    and no we don't get any of the bubbly money..they can spend 2 grand on a bottle and i still only get the $250 for the hour.

    and yes we did get more money..they spent 2 hours in VIP ($500 each girl, free massages from the rub girls and dinner)

    however, we don't get the full 500 because they used "club money" (like monopoly money- a 10 note is only worth 6 bucks) so i only got two hundred something out of the deal.

    Is it your job description hto sell champagne? How do they expect you to have any expertise in champagne?

    If there is a person whose job description is "champagne hostess" then they should be the one doing the selling of champagne. If she can't do her job then that's her problem, especially since you get no cut in the sale. What incentive would you have to spend the guys money so his wallet is empty for you. You got the guy there and that's where your job ends.

    I do sympathize with the champagne hostess and she does have a pretty crappy job. NO ONE goes to a SC for champagne and its really an annoyance more than anything.

    Wtf?! I'm sorry.. I missed the part where she has a right to be a fucking snatch and yell at you about it. If it's something you SHOULD have done and she'd have wanted you to to it differently, she should have TOLD YOU! Adults are NOT supposed to just SNAP like that! You did nothing wrong and I hope that bar chick sobered up later that night and felt bad about it. You did nothing wrong. I wouldn't have chosen the cheapest champagne, either so I could get more myself. That chick was just selfish and forgot how the game works. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    I have heard of this sort of thing at Delilah's in Philadedelphia. With the massive markup on the champagne, a dancer can end up being harassed (without explanation) if she isn't selling champagne room time, even though she could make more money from the $20 per dance charge if she actually dances for a customer for the whole half or hour block of time. Likewise, I have heard of the champagne hostesses (two of them, over the last few years) acting that way to dancers who didn't try to get the customers to buy more expensive brands or larger bottles. Now that you know, you might want to try to find a way to make it work for you.

    It was totally uncool of her to yell at you, especially in front of customers. Did she really make it obvious to them that she was angry they weren't spending more money? HOW is that good customer service?

    But if you don't know how the champagne hustle works, ask someone to explain it to you and use it to your advantage to get house fees waived, or just to get the staff on your side. They like it when you help them make money -- if you're lucky, they will help you make money, too.

    It always amazes me how unprofessional the staff can be. Yelling you in front of the guys coul have seriously affected your money because it ruins the mood. And if you're not getting more out of the champagne, then what's the incentive for you to sell it? Bad club policy if you ask me.

    I would find out the pay/policy of upselling the champagne room. You may be missing out on money that you don't know about. But, I always felt that when I was in VIP, it was my job to get the customer to spend as much money as possible. Don't forget that the VIP host is going to keep calling up the girls that can "squeeze" out the most money...so the more you can upsell, the more money you will make in the long run.

    It wasn't cool of her to yell and grab your arm, and honestly, you should not take that treatment. Don't be a "push-over".

    Find out all of the ins/outs of VIPs and the upselling...and if she tries to pull you aside and yell at you again, just walk away. It is not YOUR job to make HER money. It is HER job to make HER money and YOUR job to make YOURS.
