Our VIP host, (I'll call him Vin) has been sabotoging girl's CR sales by trying to work out big money tips for himself while screwing us over in the process.
Our CR works like this: $200 for the room, $250 for Champane (customer MUST buy a bottle) and $400 for the dancer (but she can name her own price if she wants).
When I had a CR custy, Vin takes him aside and gets into a huddle with him, they talk, the customer just walks away to the bar. I asked Vin, "What's wrong? he changed his mind?" He said, "He will book for a 1/2 hr each with you and another girl. He is going to give you $150, ok?"
I said, "No, that's unacceptable. I'm not getting felt up for a 1/2 hr for a measly $150. Besides I thought he was doing a hour."
Vin has the damn nerve to tell me that I should be grateful b/c he's paying in cash and not funny money.
He put me in a really bad position, b/c I ask for $250 for a half hour whenever a customer tries to go cheap--I dont get 1/2 hours much b/c of this.
I tell the customer that it is not the VIP host's place to determine MY asking price and if he didnt have all the cash he should have told me, b/c no one is booking half hour CRs here. I told him that I want $200 (Vin really fucked me over on this, but I didnt want to lose the sale) and no less. Of course, the customer was promised less, so he told me to get lost. VIn gives the room to the other girl. When she returned to the dressing room, she said that she got $300. She only agreed to it b/c she thought she could pull another $100 out of him anyway--but she didnt. It turned out that she saw the customer give Vin a $150 tip.
Basically, the host tried to cut my throat by promising the custy a lower CR price AND get that extra $.
Tonight a dancer friend complained to me that Vin did something similar to her. Her custy wanted to take her and another girl for hour (3 people all together). Vin did the same huddle with the customer and BOOM! My friend lost the CR, the custy took only one girl and Vin got the extra money that my friend should have recieved.
I have heard rumors of this happening to others before...
He has also talked customers out of taking me in the room, by being overly blase' regarding the sale. I dont get his behavior b/c I make sure that the customer tips his sorry ass (for doing nothing) and if the customer doesnt, then I do. Even then I usually tip something--although he doesnt deserve it.![]()
We just got a new GM, so he has no senority time-wise, but was hired to get the club back in shape--fortunately, I have a good repoire with him. The VIP host has been there for a few years now and kisses the owner's ass (who is also a greedy dickhead). One of the other floor hosts has "blackilisted" me with big $$ custies too, b/c he tried to do me in and I called him out on it.
I'm really frustrated and I dont know who to talk to. I am just about ready to leave but I like the club's customer base.
Do I tell the GM and have him reiterate it to the owner? Do I go to the owner directly? Does anyone have any advice for me?
