    Angry More rules!!!(Rant)

    So now the club I work in has decided to post new rules. Our manager went off on a rant again and imposed some stupid rules. Also this is the manager that is fucking the owner and still considers herself a dancer and our equal when it suits her needs.

    New rules:
    1) No more cell phones in the building. Or its a $250 fine.
    2) If we do not work our one Sunday and Monday a month its a $100 fine for both days not scheduled.
    3) No schedule is made by Saturday you cannot work.

    Now the last one I completly understand and I have no problem with this I always make my schedule.
    But the cell phone thing now come on! I have two kids and a husband that I have to be able to stay in touch with. I pay to work at this club and its my time and my money why the hell cant I use my cell phone.
    She says its because on Thursday last week there wasnt enough girls and she tried calling some in and they wouldnt answer theyre phones so they cant use theyre phones at work.

    The sunday and monday thing, thats fine because most of us abide by that rule. But what started her rage on this is because the girls arent scheduling themselves when she wants them too. Like she asked some of the girls last week if they had worked a sunday yet. They said no but there are two more in the month. So she went ahead and fined them for it just for fun I guess.

    Unfortunatley there is only one other toppless club to work at around here and it sucks. Im stuck unless I want to travel and money has been so shitty around here that I wonder if its worth it. This is all getting so out of hand I dont know what to do anymore.

    The first rule is awful and impractical! That's such bad management -- encounter a problem once and decide on draconian measures instead of trying to solve the problem. And punishing an entire staff due to the actions of a few people? it's a strip club, not an army unit!!!

    Running a club more punitively never works. Lots of club owners and managers really do not have good people and motivational skills. The girls have to want to come to work, not be forced to, and that is why I'm so pro dancer training.

    Since there are no real viable clubs for you to work at in your area, it may be best to just follow their rules. I always have my phone in my work purse, but only use it if I need a ride home earlier than normal, or for a quick important call.

    If you prove to be reliable by scheduling a Sunday or Mondayor both every week, and always have your schedule made in advance, management very likely will see you as one of the good dancers, and cut you some slack.

    In my years of dancing, I have seen so many unreliable and fucked up girls, that I can see how a manager with little patience can lose his/her cool. I have many times worked in clubs when the managers have gone on the rampage with other dancers who are always late, always high or drunk, always causing drama, etc. and they have actually been cool with me because I always show up for work on time, rarely call in sick, never cause any drama, and work the floor hard.

    I bet if you become the "reliable" girl who works when the other girls won't, and never cause any problems, that the shit will escape you.

    Thats not so bad.

    We have new rules at our club tonight as well.

    No more touching your penis... ((how the hell am i gonna get hard ))

    No more heavy grinding on customers.

    If your naked you can't stand on the chairs.

    You can't drink in the club period. You have to be sober. ((never had a problem with this, then again a little yayo in a packed house can get anyone to hustle))

    and a few others that i can't remeber off the to of my head

    One of my old clubs used to have a lot of rules such as your outfit had to be switched every set, you had to be there an hour before the club even opened and if you were even ten minutes late you couldn't work that shift, you couldn't have your hair up ever, you could only spend up to ten minutes in the dressing room after your stage set, could never sit by yourself on the floor, etc. Some of them were OK, some of them just really seemed stupid ... I can feel your pain though.

    If it were me, I would just hide my cell phone. A cell phone can help in keeping you safe, and that is the most important thing.

    Most clubs are moving towards a more structered work ethic. Especially, since the idea of being a stripper is not as "risque" as it used to be.

    It was the first club I ever worked at, so I didn't really know any better. Now that I do know better, I hate thinking about it because if we are not employees, then we shouldn't have to follow so many rules.

    I can agree with number 2, but If I wanna use a straw, by golly I will. I've seen how wonderfully some of those bar glasses are washed, and I'll pass on drinking lipstick or worse knowingly!

    I'm keeping my tan too

    1. How are they going to enforce this rule? Seriously! Plus not all of us want to make our skin leather-like by having to use solariusm or even risk skin cancers. I know I don't !! Idiots.

    2. Understandable. This one isn't that bad however I can see how it can hamper you if you have that certain outfit that is your "money maker" as such. At the same time, esp. in my club, if someone leaves and comes back later in the night and only remembers the outfit you wore... and now you are in a new one.. that patron (and potential customer) may not recognise you and I know club staff aren't that observant.

    3. I agree with Jayda. Straws are more hygenic even if it causes wrinkles around your lip area plus .. um.. if they use straws when serving the drinks.. it's a bit silly.

    *Sigh* They are foolish....apparently the reason for 1. is that we are making Mr. Simon Warr's chairs very dirty - they get goodness knows what else on them 16 hours of the day, wash them! This REALLY annoys me, and I won't abide it.
    2. I don't really mind, as I usually change at Midnight anyway as the dress code is loosened. I don't have to wear a gown! But I don't think it should be a rule.
    3. Do you know how long it takes me to apply my make-up, without having to re-apply lipstick ever time I have a drink?! Do you want me working for you, or stuck in the dressing-room!
    The no mobile-phones with you at work, is by far, the stupidiest thing I've ever heard though.

    This chic is obviously S-T-U-P-I-D. Geezuz, the cellphone rule is more stupid than any stripclub rule I've head of, and that's saying ALOT. Does this moron not remember what SHE felt like when some idiotic rule like that was imposed? Is this crazy bitch trying to run off all the girls or what??? Ugh

    Sorry girl. I'd make tracks to a new club.

    If we use our cell phone anywhere but the dressing room or bathroom it's a $25 fine but at least we can still have them in the building.

    Our 2-4-1's are $25 with $5 to the house, just this week we were informed that even if we don't sell it we still hve tp give $5 to the house. This is geat when there are 20 girls and only 10 custies.

    $250 Cell phone fine?? Uh-huh. Maybe the labor board would like to hear about that one.

    Even my 7th grade step son is allowed to bring his phone to school, and even into class if he leaves if set to silent mode.

    Combined with the other fines, I would ask the owner for a corporate tax ID number so that you can issue them a 1099 at the end of the year, as the amount of fine money you are spending will be required to be reported to the IRS as income. That should get their attention.

    Edited to add: incidentially, corporate tax ID numbers are not secret. If you know the corporate name (official name of the business is often different than the name that is on the signage) and the mailing address, the tax ID may be a part of public records. You can even find out who all the share holders are and the officers of the corporation. Unless the incorporated in Nevada, then getting the names is a little harder, but the tax ID number should still be available.


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

    the cell phone rule is completely fucking retarded. we have the "no phone on the floor" rule, but that's understandable. the dressing room though??? WTF? hell, my manager will even let a girl carry her cell out onto the floor if (and only if) she is honestly waiting for an important call. i had mine on vibrate between my breasts all day a few days ago because i was waiting for such a call. heh

    the second rule is semi understandable, but the fine is a little ridiculous. the third one i can agree upon.

    also, i see a massive loss of girls in your clubs near future. especially if there are other clubs in the area.

    Oh-Oh! no cell phones? That is so stupid. It sounds like she is trying really hard to make it almost impossible to work there. I bet she knows there are no better clubs in the area and that's why she takes advantage. It would be a lot better if you had the chance to leave the club and get a better one, then you could just give her the screw-you finger and get the hell out of there. But, you say, you want to keep this job. So, go talk to her. Ask her if she has 5 minutes and go to the dressing room. Tell her that you completely understand her reasons (* the truth is she's a crazy manipulative bitch who hasn't gotten any in god knows how long), but explain her that you have a family. You have two kids, and you need to keep in touch with them. You can say you won't be on the phone all night long, just need to check on them a couple of times during the night, which won't take you more than 5 minutes, and that you need to have your cell phone with you in case anything happens.

    If she still doesn't understand this, then I would truly try to find a new club.
