After a long hiatus from dancing, I began again last week. Since one of my old clubs was closed for renovations, I started dancing at another one. I prefer dancing at smaller clubs, as I also have a civilian job (don't want to go to my state's hot spots) that doesn't mesh well with dancing. Anyways...this new club is in a small town and is only a year old. I have some mixed feelings about it.
Pros:
There is no house fee in the daytime, or on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. Nice...I like being able to keep the money I make.
Nice setup...the club is also clean.
They attract features, and consequently, lots of customers.
Many people come...I hear that the volume is good on the weekends, although not right after New Year's.
Managers are nice and reasonable.
Cons:
Lots of the people that come are young...and I mean very young. 21 year old guys who bring their buddies and sometimes girlfriends. They buy a drink or two and stand around in groups, rarely tipping on stage, and even more rarely buy dances.
Some of the girls are also really young....not a bad thing in and of itself, but a few engage in drama. Yuck. Case in point: on Sunday, I accidentally mixed up a girl's sweatshirt with my own costumes and put everything in my backpack. She couldn't find it, freaked out, and went through everyone's stuff...leaving mine on the floor and accusing me of stealing instead of asking me to look through my own things, or having the manager do it. I had also worn a black sweatshirt to work that day, so a simple explanation and a review of the security tapes showed that while I was careless, I wasn't a thief. I was mad that she took it upon herself to have a tizzy.
The same songs are played over and over.
I was told I had to sell a porn DVD as part of a 2 for 1 promo, or purchase it for 15 bucks. I think not. I did end up selling it, but apparently the person who told me that was in error (attempted power trip or something of that nature).
Some of the customers are also....hmm...strange. One drunk guy regularly drives a lawnmower to the club. He asked me if he could kiss my breasts on the floor....to which I said "hell no" I remember Cherry_sin mentioned a similar thing in another thread, and I never thought I'd see it myself. Small world! It's also located in a small town. 45 minutes from my house without traffic.
All in all, I didn't do too badly money-wise for mid-January. Made enough to make the trip worth it...and I just got a call that my old club is reopening. Gonna balance the new one with my old one. The new place just feels so surreal....lol.
