    Default Tipping Floormen Who Do Nothing For You

    I am looking for advice on how to handle a situation that has me highly agitated.

    At the club where I work only certain girls get called to the VIP area, get leads, etc. I make my own money and truthfully could not care less about this practice.

    Friday night two gentlemen came in and I had the pleasure of sitting with them and making some money ($100 for two dances). Said fellas prefer brunettes and I am a blonde. They wound up in the VIP area with a few brown haired gals and I went about my night. No biggie.

    These two gentlemen came back again last night. The one I spent time with said that they came back specifically to get my email addy as I do not give out my number and he'd forgotten to get it the night before. My guy said that he had made a wrong decision the night before because the gal he sat with got drunk and abusive.

    The two guys decided to take myself and another gal to the CP. NOBODY helped my close this sale. My guy and I were discussing the whole punk movement in 1970's England. (He is in his late forties and is from the UK so he got to see it first hand and I am fascinated by that whole thing.) He so enjoyed the convo and my goofball persona that he purchased another hour.

    That equated to 4 bottles of PJ Rose plus what they charge to keep us off rotation and whatever they tipped the host (which I know was somewhere around $400). These guys are seriously high rollers and are every strippers dream in terms of respectfulness, etc..

    At my club it is optional to tip the floormen. I usually throw at least 10 bucks even though they do not hook me up because I appreciate feeling secure. I have one floorman who I worked with at my previous club. He does hook me up with people and I ALWAYS give him 10% of what I earn from said custys.

    So, last night I tip out $20 to head floor guy and throw my friend a 10. Head floor jerk declines to sign my check out slip and tells me to see another floor guy. This prick, who does nothing other than count dances gives me grief about my tip out amount. (I used to drink a lot and I am sure they have gotten double tips outta me before I sobered up.) The counting creep tells me that I will no longer be taken to VIP and that they know how much I earned from the two fellas I was with. I advised him that those two came back just to see me and that I am never taken to VIP or given help anyways. He then says "It's been nice working with you". I just smiled and asked him where he was moving on to. Whatever. When I walked to my bf's truck, one of the floor jerks walked in our direction as if he had a comment to make. When he saw the look on my bf's face he thought better of it and just told me to have a good night.

    Do you guys think I owed them more money? I tipped 6 times the amount most girls tip and they did nothing for me. I am certainly not cheap and I do not mind giving people money that they deserve, however, they did NOTHING to assist me. These people have even asked me to tip the door guy (cahier) on the way out. WTF??? My girlfriend who made almost the same money as I last night I tipped them $5 and they said nothing to her. I have no problem paying for help if I receive it but they did nothing to help me with this custy and his friend.

    This club has had changes in management, bouncers, etc. because of this type of bs before. I was part of the reason for said changes last spring. I would say perhaps they begrudge me, however, these are different employess from when I previously worked there.

    When I checked my email this afternoon I had the sweetest message from the fella who I spent time with. The email clealy states that their sole purpose for stopping in that night was to get my email address. (which proves I had no help from greedy floor asses) He also goes on to state that he regreted dismissing me the previous night.

    Should I go to my manager (diplomatically of course) with said email and inform him of the harrassment that I am receiving? I sell about 4-6 bottles a week, I do not cause any drama and I get along with every girl in this club. I don't want to change clubs but I don't want to deal with this extortion any longer.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Tipping is optional... I think floormen, security, DJ, etc need to remember this.

    To Insure Proper Service ---- if no service is being given.. no need to insure it!

    But, Im one of those old crabby dancers that inform the guys in advance that they will get paid for what they have done and to NEVER ask me for a tip because if they were going to get one, it most certainly will not be given then!

    ya, unless it's mandatory, any tip without them deserving it is as good as a gift. And if it's mandatory, then it's not really a tip, is it?

    I'm a bitch, so if a guy gave me lip about not tipping enough, when no tip was required, I'd probably ask for the original 20 back. If he's going to give you shit about 20 not being enough, then give him 0. It might bite you in the ass, or he might realize that he shouldn't mess with you. It would make me feel better to give him nothing though, if he's going to be ungrateful.

    Yeah, unless they're going the extra mile for you, tip 'em the minimum. They get an hourly wage, you don't.

    crap, I see you posted this twice and this is the one everyone is replying to:

    if you don't care about coming off as a girl that doesn't hook up floor hosts, then say screw it. I think I'd only give in to the extortion if I knew they would make it worth my while in the future.

    Recently Chrissy and I were talking to two guys and the floor/VIP host comes up to her and says they are HIS customers and we should hook him up if we get money out of them. Kinda bullshit, but we had to give in because the host has turned us on to great money before because we give in to his BS.

    Thank you all for the support. Tipping floormen where I am is totally optional. Most girls only give them $5 and I gave $30 total and they had done nothing for me that night. I was just being kind because I was in a great mood. Was being the operative word since they fucked that up for me. lol.

    I had an issue with the GM of this club stealing $300 in funny momey from me. He was fired the following week after I made corporate aware of what was going on here. I was so pissed that corporate did not get my money (and was afraid of backlash for speaking out) that I would not come back. I finally come back and it is more of the same. Ugh!!! Myself and another girl did a CR with two guys about a month ago. She and I each got $400 for the hour. The two guys paid separate. They had an additional $200 charge (tip) on each bill. I did a CR Thursday and the room itself was $250 just for the bottle not includeing my money. He gave the host $300 and never got his change. These floor guys and hosts are out of control!!!!

    The other night when there was an issue the floorguysthey tried to say they "hooked" me up therefore deserved more money. Well, I have an email from the custy that says they came back just to see me. I am the one who found them that night. They had no intention of staying until I worked them. They wound up spending around $4000.00. I have half a mind to show the assholes the email and inform them that they indeed did NOT help me and to keep their grubby hands out of my pocket. I am sure that would backfire though. I am just gonna do as I always have, go in, make my money and get the fuck outta Dodge. I hate them trying to intimidate me though.

    I apologize for posting this twice. After I had finished typing this, the system told me I had to log in (which I already had). I goofed sorry girlies.

    Thanks for the support.

    I only tip my bouncers $5 every night. That is a mandatory tip we have to give before the bar closes, but they get just the minimum from me. They never do anything special for me or help get me dances and they don't even watch in VIP to make sure customers are behaving. So unless they step up their game I just tip 5. These guys are also making an hourly wage as the other girl said, so they need to work for their tips. And yes, if I were you I would go to your manager and tell him. That would suck for you to have to switch clubs because some floor guy wasn't happy with the tip you gave. $20 is a pretty generous tip, and your the one doing all the work not him.
