    Default Left alone in VIP

    WTF??? I got a half hour vip customer tonight who paid cash. There's alot of backscratching at this club - EVERYONE who even talks to the customer for vip expects a FAT tip. And we are expected to "encourage" the guy to tip. Sometimes the guy doesn't tip - supposedly no big deal.

    So my vip dude paid the floorman when we went in the room. I don't know what he tipped but I did tell him to tip the guy beforehand and he DID give him something - he handed him some $20s and told him 'keep it' as he paid the $35 room fee.

    35 minutes passed, and there had been NO waitress at all, NO floorman passing by, nothing. I had been completely left alone with this guy for a half hour. If I hadn't looked at my watch we'd have been in there who knows how long before anyone came around. I had to end the session myself and send the guy out - I didn't even SEE the floorman once.

    WTF is up with that?!?! I am new at this club but I know how things are supposed to work. I have NEVER been left completely alone in a vip for the WHOLE time we were supposed to be in there. I could've been assraped for all any of those fuckers knew

    Wow thats fucked up. Um last I checked everone but dancers were employed by the club and why arent they doing their jobs? Thank god he wasnt Mr. Anal Fingering guy or he wouldve lost a hand. Do you think the guy told the floorman and waitress (of course tipping them generously) to lay low while he was in VIP with you?

    ^^No. There was no waitress around at all, at ANY time before during or after the VIP. The host just took the guy's money and disappeared, and I never saw anyone else for the next 35 minutes. The customer was not a problem at all. I was right there when the customer gave the host the room money, and all he said was "how much?" and "keep it" as he handed over the $.

    It went like this: I got the sale and walked customer over to the host, standing at the vip hall entrance. I told him we needed a room and he went to check on which was open. I asked the customer if he wanted the half hour or hour (we had already talked price for both), and I told him it was customary to tip the host at that time. He said half hour, host came back and lead us to the room, customer asked host how much, paid and told him to keep whatever extra he'd given him. I didn't see how much he gave. Host disappeared and that was it. I didn't see ONE staffmember for the next half hour.

    I know damn well it's not supposed to work like that. I suspect the host was not satisfied with the amount of tip the custy gave, but it is NOT cool for him to leave a girl totally on her own like that. That kind of shit will cause me to avoid telling guys to tip him in future. Fucking asshole!

    I would ask the host why he left you alone... tell him his job is to watch you not go jerk off in a corner somewhere.

    I think I'm going to play dumb and ask head housemom about it tomorrow (the housemom actually manages the girls here, is basically part of management). She is a pretty straight shooter so I'm sure she'll tell me exactly what's up. If I play dumb and approach her like I just really want to know "how it works", she might even say something to the dude for me. heh

    Maybe he thinks that's what your tipping him for - to NOT hang around. Some clubs are like that.

    ^^But to also not have a waitress?? I've never been in a vip where we didn't even get a waitress to show up at least once - I mean NOBODY was around for the whole time, not even to tell us time was up. Other times I've been in there at this club, a waitress comes around and somebody comes to say when time's up - they want to get the additional room money or at least kick out the guy if he's not paying for another session. Also in my other VIPs here, so far I think the guys have tipped MORE than this dude did, but I can't say for sure, I just feel like he must've tipped low.

    The more I think about it, the more I wonder if floorman didn't just forget about me, or something. I've never been in a vip where NO ONE came around at all, at least to say time's up...

    I never worked in a club where staff dropped in on the VIP. So your usual protocol is totally opposite to what I've experienced.
    Guys and dancers usually tip the floor guy to look the other way here in LA. Someone very quickly will come and tell you that your time is up at the end. That's it.
    No security, no cameras, nothing. You'd have to run out onto the floor to get someone. The guy is usually too preoccupied with trying to finger you or get away with stroking himself that he doesn't ask about a waitress. I've only had MAYBE one VIP where the dude didn't want to get dances for the whole time. He didn't want to talk either. Just cuddle. I've had other VIPs where it was all fetish stuff, but I digress...

    If I were you I'd talk to the floor guy and ask him what happened. Maybe it's too late now. He might not even remember, or he will pretend he doesn't remember. Some staff are sleazy like that.
    Maybe to prevent this from happening again, make sure you reinforce your expectations as you're about to do your next VIP.
    Say something like, "You'll send the waitress over? And tell me when my time is up, right?". I would do it in a more flirty tone than a stern one so as not to sound pushy, but maybe a gentle reminder would do it.

    I would bitch to the GM. Loudly. But then, I'm a bitch. I would also tell the floor guy that the next time he "forgets" about me in the VIP, it will be reflected in his tip, or lack thereof.

    That's what makes me think maybe the bouncer said to the waitress, "Hey, B's taking good care of us, let's give her some privacy."

    ^^That was my thought too. You should let them know that's not how you operate.

    Ugh I had that happen a few times at a prior club. One time, I was walking back to the champagne room near the end of the night(around 1:15 or 1:20am; club closes at 2). A guy saw me and tried to flag me down for a dance or two, but I told him that I was busy and would be back later. Well the champagne court hostess never came back to tell me my time was up. I noticed around 7 minutes later than the time that I shoulda been outta there. I felt bad ending it without the champagne hostess ending it, because I didn't want the customer to wrongly think I was ending it early or something(although now I look back and realize that I did no wrong). By that time it was too late to grab the other guy for a dance or two. I felt bad that I'd kept the other guy waiting and made a promise that I couldn't keep. So all I had time to do, was to make small talk with that other guy for a min and encourage him to come back the next day that I was working(I don't remember him coming back again). But yeah, it was annoying.

    Another time, this club made me and a highroller wait for over half a hour to clean out the champagne room! The fuckin' nimrods coulda placed the divider in the one champagne room(to cut it from one big room into two), but no that takes too much common sense I guess. So I had to wait over 30mins for the 2 girls and guy to clear out. THEN they made me wait until it was "cleaned out and re-set up," and FORGOT to go in and re-set it up! I was livid! I actually threatened to quit that night if they didn't get the room set up in less than 10mins. Nine mins later, the room finally got set up. Luckily though, my very sweet customer tipped me in excess to make up for the wait, since he could tell that I was annoyed at the floormen/managers and that I coulda been making money during the 45mins that I waited with him. So it turned out ok in the end, but most customers are not as nice as him.

    People need to be more attentive!

    Yeah we can thank the good 'ol extras girls for giving the bouncers that idea! Extras girls want privacy so they can do certain illegal acts. We all know that Bridgette is NOT an extras girl, but perhaps the bouncers do not realize that, since Bridgette is new there and perhaps the club is rampant with extras?(I do not know if it is; just an idea)

    Bridgette, I've had the same thing happen and it infuriated me. I was in a 15 min. champagne room. The champagne room guy's job is to let us know when our time is up. Well, I just kept dancing and he never came. Eventually I had to embarrassingly ask the customer, "Hey, I think it's been longer than 15 minutes!" It had been almost 10 minutes over. When I exited the room the door guy was at the bar, trying to flirt with a waitress. I let him have it, and then later that day, he told one of the housemoms that I was letting guys touch my boobs! Luckily, I had already told her the situation and she trusted me. He was very vengeful after that. Bad situation.

    OK, in the previous VIPs I did here, the guys tipped ALOT. I am sure they must've tipped MORE than the guy did last night, and in those cases we at least had a waitress and someone to say time was up. I don't know for sure because I couldn't see what he gave the guy, but this customer wasn't a big tipper anywhere else, ya know?

    No one even came to say our time was up. In the previous VIPs I've done here, someone came EXACTLY on time to end the session and ask if we were staying again. It doesn't make any sense to me that they wouldn't AT LEAST come tell me time was up, no matter how much the dude tipped. Hell, if he was a good tipper I'd have thought they would be running in there hoping to get another tip for a renewed session - that's what they've done before.

    I have worked alot of clubs in alot of different areas and I've NEVER done a vip before where no one even came to say time was up.

    I know, and it's so infuriating because you should have been paid for that time! I couldn't believe when it happened to me. I was so pissed. BTW not to get off subject, but I checked out your website Brigdette and it was awesome! I am going to get a whole bunch of BodyZone stuff soon. Sorry this happened to you...

    holy crap. I've never heard of that happening! Very lucky the guy wasn't a creep.

    So what will you say when you go back to work next?

    Oh I got paid, I just didn't get tipped. I got my money up front - I realized right away I was gonna have to collect it myself. He just didn't TIP me. I know some guys will tip the bouncer and not the dancer, but this guy didn't strike me as that type - he wasn't exactly free with his money. The biggest thing that makes me think the bouncer "forgot" about me is that no one even came to tell us time was up. If nothing else, in a vip situation someone has ALWAYS done that at least.

    Is it possible that the customer you were with OVER tipped the bouncer and the bouncer thought he was doing the customer a favor by giving you privacy? I would ask the bouncer in question very very sweetly while tipping him 20 dollars and make up some shit about how some dude attacked you at another club and you get really scared when you're left alone with a customers. Catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, you know? Also, at several clubs I've worked at, I have been responsible for keeping my own time. Yes, I have a collection of sparkly stripper watches, as I once scratched my expensive watch on the pole.

    A waitress should have at least come by and pitched some drinks. In Houston VIP, NO ONE comes by the rooms/booth. And we all know what its like to strip there!

    No, this guy didn't OVERtip for privacy. He gave the guy some $20s, but not that many. The room fee was $35 and the floorman was to keep whatever the extra was - I have a feeling it was only a $5 tip.

    So I did another cash vip tonight, and this time the waitress took FOREVER to show up. After sitting with the guy for 15 minutes I finally went out and found the floorman and asked - he said "waitress hasn't come yet?" No. "I'll send her." Geez. Another 10 minutes passed before the waitress FINALLY appeared. She took his money for the room and then 2 minutes later came back to say time was up but that we could have an extra 15 minutes for the wait. Needless to say, the customer was not happy.

    What's funny is we could have done our entire half hour and left without paying the club's room fee - no one would've been around apparently, if I hadn't asked.

    So now I'm thinking it's just a matter of poor service, crap work ethic, being understaffed, whatever. It always takes FOREVER to get a drink at the bar because they only have one bartender per bar and it's always crowded. SC bar service is famous for being crappy, but here it's EXTRA slow. One bartender who's always busy, not enough waitresses, etc etc etc.

    Anyway, I think that's the problem. Not enough barstaff and/or barstaff who aren't terribly attentive. Whatever. Now I know how I have to play it.

    Damn! I was thinking like everyone else, they were giving you privacy, or maybe even watching you on camera in the back, to see how you operate.

    After reading your last post though B, I agree, SHITTY SERVICE!!

    Sounds like they need to beef up the staff.
