at my club, girls get $60 per shift. day shift is noon-7, and night shift is 7-2. so it is less than $10 per hour, but it helps. you have to go on schedule to get paid for your shift, meaning you have to do as many stageshows as they want (it's usually one every 1-2 hours, so about 5 a night). the girls who pay the fee and freelance only have to go on stage once and show up whenever they want. getting on schedule is first come/first serve and there's usually only 6-7 girls because it's a small club, so you have to plan a week in advance if you want shift money.
anyway i was wondering if it is common for clubs to pay the girls? i've only worked at 2 clubs so far. i called deja vu to ask them about how everything works (cuz i was thinking of trying out a new club) and they said the dancer never gets paid anything by the club, and you have to make enough money to cover your fees or else you will owe the club. THIS IS TERRIBLE! i can't imagine going home after a night of stripping IN DEBT to the club...
i hear girls on the forum say they only made $40 or whatever. just wondering if you are counting any base pay? cuz if i only made $40 in tips/dances i would still make $100 because of that extra $60, you know what i mean? it gets me off to a good start. in my opinion, your base pay should at least be more pay than a minimum wage job. you are a stripper for gods sake! also with the club business getting really slow sometimes, it is good to have guaranteed money.
so if i'm going to switch clubs i would REALLY prefer clubs that give base pay. is this unrealistic or do a lot of clubs give base pay? is it rare? also do you know of any clubs in the U.S.A. that give base pay for sure?
