    Default My club is a DUMP!

    I have been working in this club for a few months now because it is close to home and while I am in school I don't have to worry about travelling too far. But this place has gone from bad to worse....and I don't mean business wise...that is surprisingly okay.
    It was raining down here pretty hard and I tell ya, we litterly had an indoor watrefall happening behind the stage! Water was gushing down the brick wall getting all of our stuf wet. The midnogth special was going on and all the other girls were out doing the table dances. Since I was on stage next, I didn't have to go out. So I moved all the girls stuff out of the way so it wouldn't ruined. The girls at my club are all nice so they appreciated it. There were buckets put out everywhere on the floor to catch leaks, a couple of the toilets backed up, so there was water, TP, baby wipes and tampons all over the floor in the bathroom.
    This all on top of the fact that on any given day you are sure to cut or scratch yourself on the ripped and torn up "VIP" couches. There are sink holes in the cushions, springs poking through, nails sticking out. The stage is ALWAYS filthy, and some of the tile is broken and chipped, so you have to be careful not to catch your heel and trip! Nasty, nasty, nasty! Needless to say I am trying a different club that about an hour from where I live. The extra driving time is a hassel but kinda worth it! Sorry about the long rant, but I had to vent....anyone else work in a dump?

    I've worked in high class clubs, and I've worked in dumps. Needless to say, the cleanliness, broken spings, etc I'd want to see fixed...but if the money was good and everyone was nice and got along...I would stay. I'd rather work in a "dump" where we got along, had funand made money any day over a "nice" club where everyone is nasty and bitchy and the money isnt as good(many of the nicer clubs I've worked in had A LOT more competition and a lot of custies who were there just to watch the eye candy..NOT spend money)
    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.

    I forget who it was, but in another thread a girl complained about the dressing room mess. She made a deal with the club to let her not pay house fee on days she goes in early and cleans a bit.

    Maybe you could set up something where your club will set aside a day to do some repairs and girls will come in and help in exchange for no house fees for the week or something like that. That way, the club gets repaired, cleaned, and they get the 'workforce' for free as they don't know how many girls would come in on a given night anyway to pay house fee...

    It's a long shot, but it's worth a try...

    I've worked in "dumps" before. They are always the best money for me, and thegirls tend to be nicer than they are at the "upscale" clubs.

    If you like your place...stay there. You are dancing to make money, bottom line. If the couches are scratching your legs, wear legwarmers, lol

    Our club appears to be nice down on the floor, all remodeled and such. But it is ghetto. The sewers are old, and have to be drained? (unsure of the word for that) and if they aren't sewer gasses start coming through the drains/toilets, and it smells RANK in the dressing room from it. The sewer also will back up on the roof if no one empties it. Super! But, the money is good, and the smell keeps me outa the dressing room...soo...*shrug*

    I'm one of the few that will take working in a nicer club for less money than in a dump with good money. Why? It is all psychological. The tiredness and just plain unkept look of a club does get to me. I won't feel as happy and motivated to work in such an environment if I know that the owners don't give a flying fuck about the club (let alone me).

    Yes I know the owners still don't give a flying fuck about me in a nice club however it is the outward appearance that helps me make money in the end.

    I have worked in plenty of dumps and even started out in one .......and the difference in the feeling I had about working in the dump compared to the club that looked well kept is huge for me.

    Like I said, it is all psychological for me.

    My club is kind of a dive I keep finding roaches in my locker...but I like it. And for South Fla, they are relatively small roaches. I have had ones in my house bigger than my cat, lol.

    I used to work in a "dump". It's closed now. However, the money was great for a bikini bar. I averaged about $350-$400 in six hours, no nudity.

    It was in Northern Cali, where is rains quite a bit during the fall/winter season. The club was in a basement. We had so many leaks, especially in the VIP room. It got so moldy, we had insense going all during work and it didn't help. I got mold poisoning that lasted a good month. It wasn't until I quit and moved down to sunny LA and got on anti-biotics that it went away.

    Now i work in two clubs. The one in which there is some money, has ventilation issues nad the one that is really neat and clean, is really hit and miss, extremely up and down when it comes to money.

    Ah-h-h, compromise

    The clubs with the most upscale facades, valet parking, owners who are finicky about the dancers, and high priced VIP and Champagne rooms, for the most part have such a competitve atmosphere that money is more miss than hit.

    Ask the girls who are actually full time dancers who make their living in this business. The clubs that look nice are money hungry, and for some reason more dancers than the club can handle work at these clubs thinking that is where the money is. The problem is that there is not enough business to support all those dancers hoping to cash in on the "supposed" wealthy customer base.

    Mnay times but not always, a small club with an amount of dancers that the customer base can support offers more STEADY earnings than the big "hit and miss " clubs.

    The one thing that baffles me though, is why some of these small club owners can't remodel and upgrade their facilities.

    I'd take the nicer club too. Like GC said, its pschological. If the place was a dump to the degee you're talking about, I would not have lasted a day.

    I think I can beat your story Sinder. When it rains heavily sometimes, they actually put a trash can onstage to catch the drips. And one time, I swear I'm not making this up, a dancer was doing her set onstage when part of the ceiling came crashing down ON HER HEAD! I don't even want to get into the condition of the rest of the club. And yet i make good, consistent money here. I can't fathom how so many guys can continue to patronize these dumpy places, but stay far away from the nicer clubs. WTF?!

    Nicer clubs could sometimes just be intimidating to people wanting to kick back and have a good time. Places that theres a dress code and only top shelf liquor or what not. Harder to kick back. If I were a guy I'd probably hit up smaller clubs.

    When I read the title I immediately thought about my club. I've been working there for two years and it is the nastiest club I've ever seen. I have stayed because of the other dancers mostly and the fact that the management leaves you the hell alone. Some of the things that I hate there are:
    Smelly bathrooms that are rarely cleaned and the fierce desire to put up "potty training classes" fliers behind the stall doors.
    The men's urinal is one of those old time basins filled with ice except they don't keep it iced.
    It reeks of piss at the pool tables because of the above.
    Waitresses that are not required to clean tables or vacuum carpet. I don't think they ever get shampooed.
    Stage floor falling apart in spots.
    Lap dance area used to be a ripped up bench along the wall. It's still there but rarely used.
    Manager's alcoholic tirades.
    If a bartender/manager doesn't like you for any reason....you can't work their shift.
    Dancers that are part-time escorts working their business in the club. Please choose one or the other!
    No ATM machine.
    Grouchy door guy who runs off customers. (he is gone now, woo-hoo!)
    Grouchy day bartender woman who takes her time and runs off customers.
    Money-making has gone to HELL!!!

    Things I like:
    No schedule but once you show up....they want 8 hrs.
    Managers/bartenders leave you the hell alone.
    Not pushed to sell drinks AT ALL
    Kick-ass VIP room was just built
    Awesome co-workers. Only three of about 20 will steal a customer. I look forward to coming in because of the fun, friendly attitudes of these girls.
    The money used to be banging. Couldn't walk 2 feet without being asked for a dance.
    The entire stage used to be full of tipping customers on Fri & Sat.

    I don't know what happened to the money, but except for this club two years ago...I couldn't make money in the FL panhandle. I'm too laid-back. I wish ATL and NO weren't such long drives. I would kill to be back at a place like Louie's in Missouri.

    I worked in a club once where we had a bucket onstage on rainy nights.

    Some dancers still banked there, but it could be irritating.

    As a former club mgr. I can only advise that you get out of a filthy club . . . I have found that filthy clubs attract filthy customers.
