    Default Beyond pissed and ready to quit - LONG RANT

    I have to rant. I am furious. Hopefully this makes sense by the time I finish, as my thoughts are kinda scattered.

    First of all, the club I'm working at is fairly new, well, at least new to being nude, only been open since Sept. Though, the owner ran it before as a pasties club for years. In Utah it's illegal for clubs to charge stage fees, and we are considered employees. To get around this, some of the clubs require a drink hustle, you have to get 6 $7 cokes/redbulls/etcs a night.

    When we moved to this club (from it's sister club) we were told we wouldn't have to get drinks, as they were going to have private rooms, that they would take a cut from. (lapdances are illegal in utah, so this was a big deal. it was going to be set up as a peepshow so it was 'legal', but would give us more money potential). Well, they never 'finished' them, and we still have no private rooms, so they decided to require 6 drinks a shift. Originally pissed me and some other girls off, but we got over it and got our dumb drinks.

    Drinks at our club carry over, so I typically got extras on Friday and Saturday night, so if on my one day shift I work I couldnt get all 6 drinks, I had extras and wouldn't be in trouble. So, not a big deal.

    Well, the owner is in town, and he's been pushing drinks like they're going out of style. It doesn't matter how many you have, you're getting yelled at. Last night he ripped my ass apart for changing in the dressing room because i 'only' had 6 drinks. Um HELLO that's what's required, and I have a running tab of 12 extras already. He threatened the dj's job all night, bitched about how all the dancers are a dime a dozen and treated everyone like utter shit. Besides the fact that it was DEAD last night, and none of us made money (hmmm could it be that the guys were spending all their guys on drinks?) PLUS, I have never heard of a club that says "oh hey there's guys in here, so we're gonna raise your stage fee 21 bucks today, k?"

    He's totally fucking everyone that works there over. He's upped the cover so we lost a bunch of business, and is whoring drinks to the point that customers aren't coming in anymore. I'm supposed to work tonight. I don't know if I can bring myself to go. Sorry for the rant, I just had to vent before I blugeoned (sp?) the owner with my stiletto and went to jail.

    Yup. Oh, and did I mention that he decided it'd be brilliant to be open from noon-5am instead of 4pm-5am? So now we're required to work a 9 hour shift if we work nights? Oh, and if we eat/smoke/bathroom we're supposed to 'ask' first.

    What a fucker. You're doing what you need to do. If he's yelling at you, just stare at him until he goes away. Really, ugh! You have to ASK before you go to the bathroom? Fuck THAT! How many times does he want to hear, "Yo, manager dude. I'm gonna take a piss now." !?

    The only time I've accepted a manager yelling at me or even ordering me to leave the changeroom, let alone telling me when I could take a break or go to the bathroom, was when I was working abroad, when the club houses you and if you quit you're homeless. If there are any other options, at all, I would take them. I don't like minimums or quotas - they make me nervous. I don't like people yelling at me and controlling my every move. That just ticks me off.

    Exactly. If I'm gonna put up with that crap, I'll just get a regular job

    I strip so I don't have to put up with it.

    He's an asshole. He's just stressing out b/c he bought a new car or house and the payments are stressing him. Aww. Too bad. No reason to treat people like shit. And yes strippers ARE people. What a douchebag. Can you find a new club? If not is the $ you are making better than a regular job?

    Yeah, it always seems to get worse when the owner is in town, it's always much more strict. It's the same way at my club, well, the not the same, they don't have all that crap that your owner is putting on you guys, it's just that we follow the rules exactly when he's there versus letting little things slide. If you can find another club, I'd do it unless the money potential at this club is the highest one in town. There's no way in hell ANYONE would tell me when I can and cannot piss!!! Hell, I've never worked a "regular" job where I had to ask permission to use the restroom!!! Hah, just to be a smartass you should go up to the owner and say "Sorry but I have a really bad case of diarrhea and I'm about to have an ass explosion, is it ok with you if I go and take a major download?" and do it with a total straightface and then say "You know since we have to ask first, I wanted to make sure it was ok with you before I anything slips out". hahahaha!!! I know that's nasty but he'd get the point!!! Stupid dickhead!

    I'm working on finding a new club right now. I am trying to get an audition at the super exclusive club here. Otherwise, I have to be really careful of where I go to make sure the money is comparable. Yes he's a douche. He wasn't there tonight, and everything was great. He's a total dick. Thanks for the responses, hopefully I can get a new club soon.

    Sounds like he got his financial/legal model wrong and is now very stressed because his anticipated profits are turning into a loss and draining his bank balance. Although your manager clearly can't see it, his anxiety driven actions are making his problems worse.

    Bottom line is that he needs customers to come into the club to pay his overheads, and if he drives away his more popular dancers due to behaving like an assh*le, then all he is doing is making his problems worse.

    It's a self destructive spiral - if it's not worthwhile for dancers to work there, they'll go to other clubs, so he'll have lower quality dancers. And if his dancers don't attract customers into the club, then he can't earn income from drinks, club's cut from dances, etc.

    Although it won't show on the balance sheet, a club's most important assests are their dancers, because that's what the business revolves around. Treat dancers well (which frankly doesn't need to cost him money - how much does courtesy cost?) and you've got happy employees, which in turn leads to a club full of content customers willing to spend.

    Pity your manager can't see that.

    Phil.

    Keep us updated on if/when you get into that new club. Imo, when a job sux so bad it is taking it's toll on you when you're not there, it's time to get out. You're body can only handle being miserable and stressed for so long before something snaps. This place seems totally horrible, and I hope you're looking into that other club :p

    Sorry darlin, that sucks the big one. Absolutely unexcusably ridiculuous. I never understand ownership/management that bitches out its best people. The failure in those cases is always with the boss not knowing how to manage people and operate the business properly. The ship's sinking because they're effing up and what do they do? Eff up even more by yelling at people like you who've met more than your obligations. Here's hoping he finds better things to do with his time and that you find better places to be employed.

    Thanks for your sympathy ladies, I definitely want out, I just have to find someplace good to go

    The funny thing is, is that I'm good friends with one of the managers, and I KNOW what his profit/loss is showing right now...and the guy isn't hurtin for money. He's just gotten extremely greedy. His girlfriend manages there, and she knows that she has about 6 dancers all her security and a couple dj's that are ready to walk...so she's been kissing ass. (Not that it'll work) Ah well, I'll be strip clubbing next week

    Ha, be my guest. He goes on to say something about how nice it would be if you could keep your wife as happy as a stripper by tipping her a dollar. As clever as that is, if I ever saw his act live, I'd inform him a measly dollar tip isn't enough to keep a stripper happy anymore either.

    Wow...that's a lot of crap to put up with.......

    How can a manager expect his employees to treat the customers like princes when the employees are treated so poorly?

    Some folks just don't get it.

    ***UPDATE***

    Went to two of our 'circuit' clubs tonight, got hired for sure at one, just have to talk to the dancer manager at the other. They both pay 5.15 an hour, run 2 hour shifts, no drink hustle, and do their schedule 2 weeks-1 month in advance. I'm going to work at both I think. No more 9 hour shift bullshit! Thanks for all your support ladies

    Sorry I'm a tad bit confused....so you only get to work two hours? And it has to be scheduled? I've never heard of a circuit club....if you're bored enlighten me
    I'd grab my trumpet and I'd do a stripper sound, like the old Louis Armstrong, real raspy. And the people would go nuts! Then I knew that the sexual, sensual, guttural sound, that throbbing sound, is where it's at.
