    Default screw you guys, i'm going home

    Last night I could not stand being at the club. I got there at 8 p.m. and by midnight I had collected $9 from onstage (went up four times). It was crowded with girls -- two other girls had already left because there were too many girls! Barely any customers. One of the last straws was when a motherfucking birthday party came in, cake and all, and ignored the racks. Fuckers! I ended up just telling them I'll pay them house fee next time I worked and used emergency cash to get home.

    I just felt like I could not stand being there anymore. I had absolutely no momentum. Trying to make house fee felt like it would take about two more hours of grovelling and it did not seem to make sense since if I was focused and working smoothly I could make it up in twenty minutes the next time I came into work. I left work, changed my clothes and caught up with friends I hadn't seen in a month. I'm sure if I had stayed I would not have actually made any profit whatsoever and may have just started bawling -- I basically felt like I was paying to ensure my mental health, and that was okay.

    Has anyone else ever just said 'fuck it' and left work? I've never done it before and certainly shall not make a habit out of it, but I'm so incredibly glad I did last night. I hate to say 'there's no money in the club' but the amount of competition and my ability to compete werre simply not on par.

    Well, you definately made the right call. Ya you could have stayed and made some okay money, but for 6 hours of dealing with a bad crowd and too many girls isn't worth it.

    I left at about 7 yesterday and it was going downhill fast. I totally bailed early also. I only was there about 3 hours. The crowd was hard. I did okay, but absolutely noone bought more than one dance from me. I don't know what makes some days just get so off.

    I know I have. In fact, the immortal words of Cartman have also so often danced through my head as I tossed the heels into the locker and stomped off to the parking lot. I've never left with less than $100 though, but some days I wonder if that's only a matter of time.

    for better or for worse, my new club lets us leave early with no hassle as long as we pay our way out. we have to do 5 hour shifts. it costs $5 for every hour you leave early. there was one night recently where i used my only $5 to just get the f#*k out of there. i don't wanna make a habit out of it but that night it was leave or go insane/homicidal.

    I've gotten in the habit of taking time off between New Years and Superbowl. It just isn't worth trying to earn the money this time of year.

    I love the cartman reference too. You are NOT alone. I have done this when I have used MY OWN MONEY to fund a work trip and need to make profit or else I will be going back to the GC with nothing (being in the red not the black).... just some nights aren't worth it and I am always ALWAYS looking out for my long term mental health.

    I've made some incredible decisions in my time in this industry to ensure that I stay sane and thus never fall into the "abyss" which involves drinking and drugs. I must look after myself first and foremost before I can even THINK about looking after anyone else (and in a way we do "look after" the customer... we are being self-less).

    This past week I went home early due to being frustrated...Wednesday we had no one come in until 8pm and there was a steady 5 guys until 11pm...then we got packed but no one was still getting dances. Probably didn't help that Wed is college night, LOL. I paid half house and went home with $5, it was the second time I went home early in the 6 months that I had been working at this club.

    It just gets to that point when custys are rude and no one is dancing that you get discouraged...sometimes it can be salvaged but sometimes your patience is already gone.

    I've been there. Sometimes the club is so dead, all of the girls are in the dressing room bitching about the horrible night, the manager is pissed off because the girls are getting annoying, the few customers that we have don't want to stay because they are being asked if they want a dance every 2 seconds....
    Yeah...it gets crazy. Thank god it doesn't happen so often, but when it does, all I want to do is GO HOME!

    I've desperately wanted to pull the cartman line one or two nights... but its kind of a hassle to leave early at my club and I've just stuck it out or took a long break in the back to chill for a bit and then try again. I hate these nights.

    Really, I never had trouble leaving early from any Texas club. And yes, if its pretty bad, I would just take off. Management has never given me trouble for it as I was a very hard worker.

    I can imagine that at St. James, with all the prostitution, that they would be strict. I only left early once working there, as I was very drunk and crying, Fortunately my girl and I were working together.

    I like the way you said" screw you guys, I'm going home". ha ha ha I think nobody like it when business is bad, especially when you are use to making a certain amount of money.

    My average this week has been the same as my averages all through Nov. and Dec. Certainly there are times to check out, but for the most part it's there if you are willing to work for it.

    We had a full club tonight and girls complaining they hadn't made $100 yet (at 2:00). The one and only reason for that is laziness. The money was out there, unfortunately I lost my momentum or I would have made a few hundred more. But I still left with well over five.

    This I've done many times. I can act like a friggin' princess sometimes. If someone REALLY pisses me off, peace! I'm out. $hit happens.

    I can count on one hand how many times I've bounced early. I try to stick it out no matter what. Call me a masochist, lol. I think sticking around can pay off in the end. The other night, I had worked on a friday. SLOOOOOWWW as molasses. I had made $200 (before tipouts), many of the others had less. That half hour of the night, I stopped to talk to this one guy not thinking anything was going to come of it, but I was friendly nonetheless.

    After chatting for a few minutes he asked me if I wanted to go home with him, I said "Nah, that aint my thing, but I give great dances, so we can have some fun with your clothes on and mine off!" I thought was going to say no but he bought 2 dances ($40) then we went and did a 15min private dance (custy pays 150, dancer gets $90) then he tipped me $50 extra. So, I made 180 bucks the last 20 minutes of the night AND he's coming back on tuesday. LOL

    If I had left just 5 minutes earlier I would have been out $180. Sure, it aint alot of money compared to what a better night would be, but thats $180 paid my phone and cable bill!

    When I feel like leaving i tell myself, "Ok, I'll stay 15 more minutes and if I dont make anything at all then its a sign that its ok to leave." I always end up getting something.

    it really is the little victories that make me happy, lol.

    but that time i had food poisoning...oh yeah...time to go home...the manager and dj was flipping on me to go onstage...i said, yup, "screw you guys i'm going home."
    I'm getting my Dial-A-Stripper service up and running again. If you are in NYC or NJ and are interested in private party dancing, email [email protected] with your SW handle, contact info, photo (if you have one) & best time to call and I'll get back to you asap.

    If you're having a party and need strippers, email me with the details and any questions you have. Thanks!

    I almost left early last night. My club was packed but there were so few customers actually spending money...even the DJ and managers noticed. And I could not get a VIP to save my life. But it's a major hassle to leave at my club, especially since there were a ton of girls that wanted to go home, so I sat in the dressing room for an hour, read a little bit of a book, and touched up my makeup. I didn't head back out until my last stage set of the night, after which I had 12 guy lining up wanting dances. Unfortunately, there were only a handful of songs left until closing time but I still managed to make an extra $100 before I left. And keep my sanity in tact since I had chilled out for awhile rather than run around and stress myself out.
    If it wasn't such a pain in the arse to leave early I definitely would have done it, though.

    I don't do it often at my home club because it is normally okay there. But when I try new clubs and it blows ass, I bail for sure. This is why I am always a liitle leary of trying a new club, for this reason. I am comfortable at my home club, and I am treated well there.
