    Angry I got screwed over in the Champagne Room!!!

    It's very unfortunate that my first experience in the champagne room (I just started dancing less than a month ago) was a total disaster but if I could prevent the same thing from happening to someone else than I would feel like it was an important learning experience. Sorry for it being so long.
    So last night a group of guys came into my club for a bachealor party celebration. The guys appeared to have the money so I thought it was totally legit...wrong! Each guy in the party got a girl for themselves and it just so happens that my guy was having some other guy pay for him which sketched me out at first but I was totally assured that the cost was taken care of.
    The champagne room costs $400 for the first hour and $100 for each extra hour. It was my impression that the champagne room managers took care of all the money-handling and I even told the manager that I was charging $125 per hour in the champagne room so you would think that he would just add that onto the minimum charge of $400 right?(especially when I was told we're not really trying to make the guys think about how much they're spending, just how much of a good time they're having.) The guy that was covering my guy dissapeared half-way into the second hour saying that he was going to the ATM or something to get more money. Well, he never came back which I knew did not bode well for me. My friend who was up there with me and had the guy who had dissapeared found out that we were supposed to get the money we were charging up-front from each guy. So another guy said that he would some-what take care of my friend and gave her $125 which she later kindly split with me since I would have walked away with nothing after sitting on my ass in the champagne room during prime hustling hours. I was so upset I just left after that and didn't even say anything to management about it which in retro-spect it would have been wise to do
    Now, I'm out $300 after last night and I'm wondering if I should say something to the management when I go back for my next shift-just so they can prevent such an unfortunate event from happening again which really, wouldn't reflect well on the club at all for dancers working there in the future. Should I just go talk to management and explain what happened in-person or should I write up a statement of what happened since they are usually busy?

    I don't think writing a statement is necessary, just tell them what happened, how this is your first CR experience and how you were really upset and don't like to be emotional in front of others. And get the money up front next time, girlie.

    We are independent contractors...WE are in charge of making sure we are paid. Yes, at my club we have VIP hostesses which collect our money (UPFRONT, EACH HOUR), but if for whatever reason she slacks off it is up to ME. Yes it may be a bit of a party pooper to say..."we need to square up before I can stay the hour with you", but o' f'ing well. Any guy with half a brain should realize and understand, I'm there to work...yes I'm going to party and have SOOO much fun with him...after he compensates me for my time.

    I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson the hard way. Remember this goes for dances too. If you take it upon yourself to dance 20 songs for a guy and all of a sudden he's gone...you have no one to blame but yourself. Next time be sure there is clear communication as to your fee...and get it upfront! My VIP hostess gets 10% of what I make, as I said she collects the money for me, suggests the guys tip a little over min. rate, cashes in any "funny money" I get, and watches over me if I have too much champagne. Maybe you could strike a deal like this with your staff. Again, sorry this happend to you. Better luck next time.

    Yeah, saying something to management now is only going to annoy them. They'll patronize you with some bs and brush you off at best; at worst they'll tell you to fuck off. They don't care - they got their money. It is up to us to make sure we get paid, so take it as a lesson learned: make sure you get your CR money up front.

    Sorry.

    /\/\/\ Yah, that's what I figured the management would probably do now that they have already gotten THEIR money. It really surprises me though because usually my club is very good to the dancers...at least that's the image they try to sell us.

    Always get your money up front for VIP rooms. The customers are used to this and don't mind paying in advance. If a customer makes a big deal about having to pay first and you can't close the sale with the up front fee, then walk away. He is likely trying to get free time in the VIP. Just keep that in mind for the future, a customer that won't pay up front for VIP is trying to steal from you.

    You should have had the Bouncer talk to these guys right at that moment. I have an agreement with the bouncers I work with, that if they can collect from a dead beat customer, they get to keep half of the money. I'd rather have half the money and a protective bouncer than nothing at all.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Also, If a guy ever goes to get more money or something...go with them! Accompany them to the ATM. Obviously, don't stand over their shoulder, give them some space, but always go with them. On the same side of things, If a guy your dancing for owes you money, and say he needs to use the restroom, make sure you get paid before he gets up from the table. never let them get awya with"I'll pay when I get back" Just tell them you may get called to stage, or get called away while they are gone, so you need paid before they get up from the table.

    Agreed with Paris and Kaylinn.

    Oh and the clubs just SAY they want us to be happy. It's only so much smoke. In reality they couldn't care less if we live or die, happily or not. As long as they get their money
