    work schedule

    Is stripping the kind of job where you can pretty much make your own schedule or do they expect you to work a certain number of days or hours? I'm asking because if I do get into the business, I would like it to be a 1 or 2 day a week thing if possible. It seems like most people do it 4 days a week or so, but I dont know if thats because of $ or some kind of requirement. Is every club different? What has been your experience, ladies?

    also, if you prove yourself to be a high earner and are well-liked by management, you can pretty much pick your own hours.

    Most girls don't do it 4 nights per week. That's more of a stripperweb thing. Plus many of us are full-time dancers and don't have other jobs.

    Ya, I'd agree with Emily.

    Most of the decent girls only dance 1-3x a week most of the time. And 90% of the girls that dance more, are heeding a pimp or an addiction.

    Sad but true

    2 days a week is just fine!

    whoa...slow down there

    Lots of girls have addictions in this biz, but very few have pimps. And the girls working 1-3x/week are just as likely to have drug problems as those that work 6x/week. The true junkies just work enough to buy drugs, which means they come in when they need a drug fix.

    Most girls actually (gasp!) just want to work more because they like having money. Working a lot isn't a sign of desperation or not being a "decent girl."

    I should have been more specific.... in my particular club, about 90% of the girls who work 5-7 days a week have a drug problem or a comtroling, greedy husband or boyfriend (I call them pimps).

    Luckily, there's only about 15 girls, of about 70 working nights, that do work that often. And I know for a fact that they do it b/c their man wants them to or to have a bad drug habit. I'm sure that only 3 of those girls working 5-7 nights do it on their own motivation.... So I gues that's about 20% doing it for a good reason.

    and there's nothing management can or should do about it, b/c they keep it otc.

    I guess....but you really don't know what someone's motivation is.

    In my experience, girls that work 1-3x per week (and not in school or have another job) are lazy junkies with controlling boyfriends that won't "let" them dance.

    See where this is going?

    It depend on the area you work in and the club. Here in Toronto, you can go on schedule (required to work x days for x hours and the club pays you) or you can freelance which means you pay the club a fee and you're free to come and go as you please (within limits, depends on the club). I freelance between a couple places, I only work when I need extra cash because right now I'm busy with school and I have another job. When I work full time (non-stripping job), which will happens once I finish the semester, I plan on popping in/out when I need extra money or if I have a big purchase to make.

    Just like it was said above, it depends on the area. Every club in my area is freelance. You show up when you want, work as long as you want, pay the house fee and leave when you want. Thats one thing about the business that I love. If I want to take a vacation and leave for a few weeks, I dont have to call anyone, just go. My stuff will still be in my locker when I get back.

    My club in Dallas is real flexible- they just want girls to work at least once Sat-Mon to work anytime the rest of the week, no house fees if you're on time, can work as much or as little as you want. (I just went 4 months without dancing no prob) Everywhere is diff though so check around and find somewhere that agrees with you.

    My club is flexible. We send our schedules to our manager every monday morning via text message and she confirms or if there are already too many who texted for a particular night she will let u know that u have to pick another night.

    The only requirement is that you have to work one weeknight and one either fri or sat night.

    I only work 2 nights per week because I go to university and also because I work 10 hours on the weeknight and 12 hours on the saturday night which is enough for me personally.

    Well damn. I wish my club was as flexible as all yours! I havent started yet, but Im scheduled for 3 days a week, 8 hours a day. I think the other good clubs in the area are the same. Which sucks for me because I was hoping to be able to carry on during the school year, but theres no way.

    My club is less flexible. I'm scheduled for 3 days a week but I can work more. Vacations require two weeks notice. Originally, I had to work 8 hour shifts and arrive at my scheduled time. After a few years, I can now show up any time and leave nearly any time as long as it's on my scheduled day and I can pay my house fee.

    At my club it's required to work 4 days a week if not in school, and only 3 days if you are in school. As long as you show up for your scheduled days, you can come in extra.

    My club is completly flexable. Show up whenever you want, leave whenever you want. Work as many days or hours as you want. 1 hour or 15 hours, don't matter. The clubs never close. Work 1 day a week, or all 7.Don't work for 6 months, show up and work again. There's suposed to be a 6 hour minimum, but it isn't enforced, at least for me, not sure if they are strict with everyone else or not.
    I think pretty much, Vegas has enough girls to go aound, they dont need to worry about scheduling or anything, because there will never be a lack of girls. SO they are pretty flexable.

    Another club I worked at, worked 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. 8pm-4am. If I didnt want to go in for whatever reason, I had to call off, just like a real job. Couldn't leave early, had to put in vacation requests....Gave a 2 week notice when I quit. I didn't mind all that then, but now, I'd never do it. I liek being a stripper because of the freedom. Because It's my own business and I answer to no one.

    So true. There's nothing wrong with working 4 days a week... Some of us have a $$ goal to reach for certain things. Or just like having "play(shopping/tattoo/fun) money" on the side all the time

    Amen! I worked 6 days a week when I danced, and not for drugs or alcohol or any other addiction. It's because I went in to dancing with a plan from the start and a limited amount of time that I wanted to be in the business for and with a set amount of money I expected to have at my departure from it. And I did just that! Granted what I did is not the norm, but I've never been normal anyway...lol!

    I love, love, love my club!!! I've gone for months w/out working and have come back. I've worked once a week, I've worked twice a week. I think I've already proven myself to them...so they seem to be happy whenever I show up. I'll be working more days this summer, of course, too.
