    Default What do you do after a bad night?

    Again I had a bad shift. I was there for 3 hours (12-3)... Made tip out and then my sons daycare called and said he has hand foot and mouth disease... Erg...

    So I go home with maybe 7 bucks in my pocket and the shift just sucked. Probably like 5 custys the whole 3 hours.

    One guy I danced for tried to pay me $20 for 2 dances..... Occasionally they do 2/$20 and thats when I asked but he said no... Then like a half hour later he wanted and dance and I told him it was $30... he wanted me to go get change and everything.

    Erg.

    My son is feeling better but I just need a way to cope with lame shifts.

    can you work nights? it might be better

    I consider bad nights jsut part of the deal. I think as long as the good nights outnumber the bad ones, I'm doing okay. It's just the cost of doing business.

    I could but I go to work right after school... I live an hour away (they are within 10 min of eachother) so the afternoon shift works out perfect.

    Besides I go to bed everynight at 9pm and wake up at 5am... I wouldnt be able to last 2 hours into the shift LOL.... and on top of that the place is small and gets crowded... I have anxiety disorder I would hate to pass out on stage or somethin.

    if this happens continually maybe try to find some other work?
    but as to your question...
    What I do is try to put things into perspective-it's not me, it's them
    Then I make myself something yummy to eat, or take a nice bath or shower (candles, music, etc.) Or maybe give myself a mani/pedi, play with my dogs, go to the gym orgo for a long walk, get on stripperweb...

    I have a drink (or two, or three) and get on stripperweb and bitch.

    Some nights are just like that. You'll probably have a good one next time.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I do all the same things, except I won't go out for breakfast after a bad night, because I'm spending money to eat out, when I didn't make enough as it is.

    I was all excited cause I had two great nights in a row and then tonight sucked. Oh well, I'll just have to hustle harder tomorrow.

    Yeah..work has sucked lately. I find myself waking up now dreading going into the club. I wont work nights because1) i like having a life which is hard to do when youare working nights and your husband works days..I did that for far too long 2) night shift is now only allowed to play techno music which I HATE..the 2 hrs the shifts cross and i have to deal with it is bad enough! and 3) there isnt THAT much more money at night to make all that worth it.
    I also cant go to another club as this is the only one in 3 counties that I DONT have to compete against dick sucking whores...:-(

    SO i'm kind of stuck and trying hard to retire. Take heart that your situation will at least most likely get better and it was just one bad day as opposed to a bad month!!!
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    On a normal day could you stay a few hours later to see if you could improve your earnings. I used to do that and most of the time it helped. Oh and when I have a bad shift I eat comfort food, read SW, call my friend who is also a dancer at another club and we vent about our shifts.

    Hey CollegeGirl, SexyGemini may be one of your co-workers, or at least she used to work there. Kind of a twist on Gemini's suggestion is that if you find yourself having a really good shift, you can ask to stay a little longer and try to keep the flow going and keep banking to make up for some of the slower days.

    Shifts can vary greatly. My friend who works there did really well on Sat day, and Sun day, but then only cleared $120 on Mon night.

    Yeah Tuesday day is slim pickings in that place. Unless you've got some regs., I think you just have to grin and bare the quiet shift and try to bank on your other shifts. I'm assuming of course that they are requiring you to work either Sun, Mon or Tues day as one of your three shfits, and you chose Tues. day. What other shifts are you working?

    Hint: Best shifts to work there are Fri day (although very Brazillian), Fri Night, Sat Night and any Sunday when the Patriots are having an afternoon home game.

    You may also think about trying to schedule at least one night shift. There have been plenty of slow week day nights when my friend makes all her money in the last hour. It's like all the guys realize the place is closing and they scramble to get dances. You don't really get that effect during the shift change. Just something to keep in mind. Although that does spark an idea...

    LAST CALL! You could start going around the place at 5PM and let all they guys know that it's last call before the end of your shift and while it may be their last chance to get a dance before you leave, you'll certainly make it a "Happy Hour!" Just a thought. I don't think I've ever really seen anyone take that approach, so you could be the first and see if it works! I'll admit that there have been a few times when I was sitting in a place eyeing a dancer only to see her disappear into the dressing room, and then left kicking myself when she re-appears in street clothes heading out the door.

    Wow, all this text, but I didn't really answer your actual question. Apologies.
    Here's a suggestion. About 2 miles down Rt 138 in Easton is one of the best choclate places you will find - Hilliards. It's on the left hand side. Maybe get yourself a little treat for you and your son, and then soak in a bubble bath with some scented candles to help regroup.

    Best of luck CG!

    Hey Verfolgung! Yes, I used to be where Collegegirl is now. I actually sent her a pm with some pointers about a week ago. It is funny I know more of you online than in the club. I *think* you were close to Annie and she might have introduced me to you a long time ago.....Maybe? Anyways

    I would suggest Sunday day or night over Mon or tuesday. In my experience both Monday day/night and Tuesday day/night suck hardcore unless you have regs to come to kill the time with you. Sundays used to be my best shift since I never worked Fri or Sat nights. Fri days are ok but like you said it is very Brazillian dominated and that *could* work in CG advantage. I personally liked Wednesday day and Thursday day when I was there but if my shifts weren't up to par I used to stay late those days.

    Last call idea is a good one!

    Good luck CG and it will get better in time late Oct-Dec are usually pretty good.

    Another thought on shifts...

    If your schedule permits, you could also try talking to the managers and see if they will let you work a "swing shift" (aka "Ida shift"), 3PM - 11PM. Gets you out of the day and into the night shift without keeping you to closing. Not sure if they still offer a swing shift option, but you can try to explain your travel and school situation and see if they'll make an exception for you. If they allow it, perhaps you could hang out at the college library and get some work done, then start your shift.

    Also forgot to add the Friday days before a holiday weekend are dates to circle on your calandar.


    (Hey SexyGemini, yeah that was prolly one of those Sunday day shifts when we'd hang out popping champagne bottles with Ms. Tiffany. heh. Hope your doing well.)

    I give all my big dogs a hug, and pass out, then the next day I bitch about it on myspace haha. But I realize that I have many good days, few bad days, and so it all evens out.

    No more 3-11 shifts. That is part of the reason I ended up leaving. Mainly I had out grown it. It was my first and only club. That club will always be my home but it was time for me to get out of the nest. Anyways the GM decided that he didn't want other girls doing whatever they wanted in terms of a schedule. Night girls were coming in early and then walking out early even through they were scheduled for the night shift. So the got rid of midshifts with no exceptions.

    V...I remember champagne (I used to drink way too much of it) and who can forget Tiffany. That girl could put on a great show! Along with Annie and Azure. They were the pole goddesses of the club. I need to stop in one of these days and see who is still over there. Reminder of the good ole days..

    Amen. Last night I gave this guy two dances (and he KNEW the price beforehand) and he told me to go fuck myself when it was time to pay because he thought the price was too high. Grrr, when another custie heard him giving me problems he paid the difference.

    But still, is it really necessary to be a total fucking asshole over $40?

    after a bad night, i go home, run a nice hot bath with some salts. light up the room with candles and take a long, relaxing bath with a cup of tea and biscuits. if i have a book at the time, reading while soaking will take my mind off things. take everything out of your dancing bag and wash it all so when you put it back in for your next shift, everything is fresh, new and the smells and vibe of the club have been washed away ready for a fresh start.

    i usually eat comfort food, smoke (if i have any) and drink a bit. i also take realllly long showers. the kind where you sit in the tub and let the water fall on you while your mind drifts away.

    actually, combining all 3 of those things has proven semi dangerous. since, i wake up in the freezing cold shower a little dazed and confused

    is it just me or have there been a lot of bad nights lately? maybe its just around my area, but ive heard from girls at a lot of clubs that they arent doing great right now. i'd heard that this time of year, business starts to pick up! and it sucks for me, because its REALLY hard for me to work tues or wed nights because of school, and my club is closed on sun & mon (stupidddd i think, when i worked at scores for the first home ravens game we opened the club hours early and it got busy immediately), so i can only work thurs-sat. if i had a bad night but was working thurs-mon it was ok because i could make up for it! now its harder.. sorry, just wanted to vent a little bit!

    I had a BAD night tonight! It was my own fault, not the club/customers...I went in, and just got anxious or something. I couldn't bring myself to go talk to anyone, all night! I didn't do any dances! This is so out of character for me...I'm normally a hustlin' machine. Quite frankly I'm worried. Can someone's hustle just up and walk away???

    So, after my bad night what am I doing? Bitching on Stripperweb, of course! Next stop hot shower, next stop bed.
