hello girls! i've been dancing for about a month now while i'm home in denver for the holidays... but i've got some tip out issues and want to make sure i'm not being stingy!
our club policy is to tip the dj $5 min, house mom $5 min, and door guy's $5 min for walking us to our cars/cab, whatever.
i have some issues with one of our house moms... i think she's really rude. i rarely use the house mom- and i never use her, for reasons below... i'm self sufficient in the club, i do my own hair, make up, and bring my own food. i asked one of the other house mom's (just to be safe) what typical tip out was, and she said the $5 and anything else is up to us--- like if they cook and we eat it, give em some extra. so i'm fine with that, she's said it's ok, and all the house mom's are really cool with the exception of the one (there are 4 total working different nights). i actually take advantage of the 3 that i like, i eat their great cooking, and chat with them, but the one, we shall call her mamacita... she's a bit greedy i think... i get the vibe and always have from her that she feels that she's entitled to more than her $5 from me(and all the girls for that matter), when she doesn't do ANYTHING for me! and i specifically make sure that i don't use her b/c i get that vibe from her.
so the last shift i worked was a double... i wasn't even supposed to be on, i stayed late from my day shift and literally walked to the locker room twice throughout the night to change. when i went to give her my tip out at the end of the night, i gave her $5... her response?! " oh... just the minimum huh?" WTF!?!?! i was livid! but i kept my cool and simply said yes, you know, i didn't really use your services tonight... and left it at that. she gave me nasty looks the rest of the night and i actually felt guilty!!![]()
i typically give the dj above the min, but again, i'm with some girls in the $10 range, unless he had to be particularly accomodating for me, and i almost always give the door guys at least $7-10- unless my night is awesome and i'll hook them up even more. but the house mom? i feel stingy, but i work hard for the money i make, and i don't like the idea of having to give it to some woman who sits in the locker room and talks to her boyfriend on the phone the whole night.
sorry to vent, but is this bad? i'm only at the club for one more month until i go back overseas, so i'm not too terribly worried about a long term impression, but i don't want to be cheap. i guess i just need some validation... am i thinking the right way, or should i step up and start shelling out more?![]()
