    Default Stripping is Boring

    This is the dirty little secret I have learned from being a more regular customer over the last year. Especially during the day shift, or maybe on a slow weekday night, a lot of the time you're just sitting there, a handful of customers in the place you've already made your rounds of, waiting for your stage set you've done 1,000 times and could do in your sleep.

    From the outside it always seemed like the glamorous life of money and champagne and nakedness and flirting and (maybe) sex ... most customers really don't appreciate the predominance of "geez, do I still have 3 hours left in this dead shift?"

    I disagree, it's still way more interesting than any other job that I have had and I enjoy chatting with the other girls. When it's that dead I will either chat with the girls or practice some pole tricks.

    Way better than when I worked in retail and had to always look busy. It was so ridiculous even when there were no customers the manager would not let us sit down and we had to look busy so I would find myself messing up the shelves just to fix them again - now that is boring.

    yup. When its slow, you can always find something to do to pas the time.
    Bullshit with another dancer, or the dj, bartender.
    Get yourself a drink
    eat
    paint your toenails
    play with your makeup
    decide to curl your hair
    play megatouch!
    read a book or magazine
    take a nap

    Wanna know a boring job? a table games dealer at a casino when its dead. Try standing at a table for an hour at a time. Just standing. Noone to talk to, nothign to do,cant move at ALL, just gotta stand in one spot. It sucks. It was amazing the thoughts that came to me when I did that job. You got nothing better to do than think. and do butt exercises. Id make bets with myself to see how long I could keep my butt muscles clenched. Now thats bored.

    ^^^ I don't see why that wouldn't work while stripping too! Whether dead or not! Hell, I bet with all that definition you're a master at doing that alternate-glute-flexing thing that's all the rage onstage these days!

    I'm going to try it. No one at the stage? No one at the bar? I'll strike a sexy pose and one . . . two . . . three . . . CLENCH!

    OH! I just thought of something else to do when dead! Kegels! Bwahaha.

    Well, maybe you should think about a career change....oh, that's right, you aren't stripper...

    I think he is just saying that telling a customer that you are so bored and that you have to wait 3 more hours til you can go home or whatever is not cool. Common sense if you ask me.

    Not exactly. I probably created a shitty thread title and a shitty thread. Mea culpa.

    I have been one particular place so much lately that I know 2 dancers very well and others on a friendly basis. I hear stuff like, (not SS, we're past that -- I hope ) "Man, so glad you came in this afternoon, there have literally been like 5 guys in here all day and 4 of those were (fill in the blank's) regulars." And I hear about the winter being the dead time, and how that's the case right now.

    So it's not me per se they are bored with, but I do hear about their boring days from before I arrived.

    I've always found great conversation in the boredom of strippers.

    I'm just saying, some get REALLY creative. Like a staged Catfight over a buck.

    I can see that. That would be pretty cool.

    Yesterday 1 of my 2 and I had an interesting conversation about one of the dirty extras girls who we watched -- fully nude -- sit on a customer's face who was lying on stage, just to pick up a dollar. A single one. Getting the inside scoop on what the girls really think of each other is fascinating.

    I don't get bored very often at work. In fact, it's one of the most entertaining jobs I've ever had. When I'm not making money I people watch. Some of the weirdest conversations happen in SC's.

    Boring? Stripping is why I don't work at Starbucks. Not that there's anything wrong with working at Starbucks, but it just seems mundane.

    The club I worked at during the day didn't even have Megatouch. (We were kinda ghetto like that.) We would play with the security cameras instead. Yes, we were that bored. There were days we would take bets on how long it would be before we got our first customer, how long it would be before somebody had an 'emergency' and had to leave, who was going to fight with their BF, etc. Hey, it's all we had.

    Well, the OP is basically right, though. It's not always the most exciting and glamorous job in the world. On the other hand, since most of us are IC's, when there's nothing to do, we can goof off, as opposed to a regular employee, who has to pretend to do something "productive" all the time. This is really pretty awesome. By way of comparison, I got fired from my job as a receptionist because I read books at work when it was slow. They wanted me to sit there and stare straight ahead with one hand on the phone in case somebody *happened* to call or walk in. Blech. I'd love to know what they would have said if I'd been doing alternate glute excercizes.

    When I used to work on schedule it would drive me nuts that they wouldn't let me read or draw in the bar (I can't draw, but I was doing this "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" thing until I decided it was stupid). I always just wanted to say "Know what? These customers are not that polite. They WILL interrupt if they want my company. They KNOW I want their money. They will not be sitting over at a table thinking "Gosh, I'd like to get a dance from her, but she looks really into that novel... well, dammit, I guess I'll just leave then."

    I too have wondered about day shifts, and occasionally dancer friends will tell me about really slow and boring days. But every one of them really likes the day shift and claims to do fairly well, owing in large part to those of us apparently "well off" business PL's who make up their business. Still, I do know that there are times when there are absolutely no customers, only staff, because I've walked in many times under those circumstances. I sort of like it when I do, too. The waitress has my regular drink to me before I even sit down. Dancer(s) come greet me. The doorman latches on for a conversation on the way into the lounge. Sometimes even the manager gets in on the act. Hmmm....

    eh... i use the down time to:

    do homework
    play the video games
    read
    do my nails or make-up
    text people
    eat

    i don't find it "boring" near as much as i find it irritating. the longer a dead shift goes on the more anxious i get about money. i just find things to do to kill the time so that i don't focus on my lack of cash and ruin my mood.

    Yes! That is exactly why I hated working day shift. Most of it is a big waste of time - sitting around talking about nothing with the other dancers, playing the waiting game. I would smoke way too many cigarettes then too. I don't like to allow myself the chance to sit around that much. Then when customers did come in, I wouldn't be ready to deal with them because I'd be too relaxed and not in work mode.

    On slow weeknights, I would mostly tweak my makeup, talk on the phone or eat. Dancing always gave me a huge appetite.
    Talking with the staff (DJ, floorguy, bouncers) and practicing pole tricks helped me stay focused on the club.

    I really enjoy stripping, but it does get boring if its quiet with no customers.
    Last year when things got terribly quiet and the club was empty I took to running over the road to the internet cafe between my stage shifts

    There is ALWAYS something you can do...it can sometimes be boring when its dead and there is no one there but mostly its NOT boring at all. Ok you wanna talk boring jobs? Saturday dayshift at Domino's pizza with only one delivery driver that doesnt speak english!! Now thats fucking boring, you cant just go smoke or get a cocktail or do your hair to pass the time...stripping is far from what I would call a boring job

    It really isn't boring, I agree. There's always a million girls to talk to, a book to read in the back, a phone call to make, food to eat, etc, etc. I don't mind it.

    I have to say though, and no offense to anyone who works day shift, day shift seems REALLY difficult and REALLY boring because of the lack of men coming in .... I decided one day to get to work at 4pm, who knows why, and was literally staring at the walls til people came in at 9, by which time I was ready to leave.

    Maybe I just contradicted myself, I guess sometimes dancing CAN be boring..

    But still w-a-a-a-a-a-y better than any other job!
