My club is getting out of control, and its really starting to anoy the shit out of me. EVERYONE is hustling for more tips, and Im ready to find a new club because of it.
Example #1 - My drink costs 9.50, I give him 15 dollars and assume, since I do this every night, he will give me change for the 5 so I can give him a tip. He gives me back one dollar and keeps the 5.....$5 tip for a $9 drink?? Uhh, no. I ask for change for my 5 and he gives me an attitude, pulls the 5 out of the tip jar, gets change and throws it down.
#2 housemom - I buy a pair of 5 dollar panties off her, and give her a 20. Wait for my change,wait, wait..finally ask for my change, and she says, Oh you wanted change for that?? Wait, I just told you how slow the club is, its a tuesday night, and you want a $15 dollar tip? Mabye on a friday or saterday. But I was gonan tip her $5, as I do every night, but that made me really kinda sore on tipping her anything.
The waitress- I am sitting with a customer, he orders himself and me a drink, it comes to $23. He gives the waitress $27, and she stands there, and looks at him dumbly, and he asks if he gave her the right amount, and she says umm, its just that the drinks were $24. And he says yeah, I gave you $27, Im sorry, I dont have any more change. And she says yeah, whatever. He said come back in a few minutes and I will get change for you, and she says yeah, ok,uhhuh...and storms off. First of all..she got a $4 tip...almost 20%, even if that wasnt good enough for her, she shoudl have acted appriciative of what she got, because this man happened to be a doctor that had a lot of money, and was a good tipper, and she would have gotten more, had her behavior not been so appalling.
The icing on the cake - the bathroom attendant. I use her perfume, or take a breathmint, whatever, when I get off stage every night and go in there to freshen up, I give her my ones. Every night. This one night in particular, I go in as usual, feshen up, use her perfume, and she says, make sure you tip me for that, it isnt free. I looked at her, appalled, and said, I tip you every single night. Why did you feel the need to tell me that tonight? she said, in case you forgot. Well....her tip just got much smaller.
Then...I go in the next night, and she has signs all over every single tray of perfume, on her little tray of breathmints, and all over everythign she owns in there saying THIS IS NOT FREE!!
Well...how tacky. I told her that looks tacky as hell, and that everyone knows they are supposed to tip when they use her stuff, and putting signs up isnt going to make the non tippers tip, but it is going to make the tippers tip less. I cant even stand to go in there anymore, and avoid that bathroom as much as possible now.
My club has been slower lately, and I assume everyone is feeling the hurt, and trying to make their money, but this behavior has made me really sore on my club, and normally I am a great tipper, but I dont want to tip anyone anything now. I always thought a tip was a gratuity, something to show you appriciate the service you got, and when it is not only assumed, but asked for....makes me not want to give anything, but of course, I can do that, I would feel bad, but I started tipping the bare minimum.
Its a shame...their behavior is costing them money, when they think they are trying to get more.
