i REALLY need advice here. i left my last club, the gold club, to come back to the club i worked at before, the ritz. when i quit the ritz the first time, it was because i got in an argument with a manager and thought he fired me, when i found out later he really didnt. (i was very very drunk and embarrassed myself horribly). so i went to the gold club. i made money so easily there, but hustling drinks is required and i am a BAD drinker. i get angry, i argue, i cry, whatever. i quit there one night when i was drunk after an argument with a manager. i posted before about them accusing me of letting a guy finger me in a room. granted, i was drunk, but they did a lot of things that made me want to quit dancing.
so anyway, i went back to the ritz at 10pm on a saturday night, drunk after working all day at the gold club. they let me work that night and let me come back, no questions asked. i love the girls, i love the bouncers, managers, etc. i have never liked a manager so much, and that counts for a LOT in a strip club, i think. the problem is i'm not making any money. it's a very small club, so the potential to make money is much smaller. it's also more of a bar atmosphere (we dance on stage behind the bar).
so tonight i considered going back to the gold club. i text messaged my old manager, and he said call him tomorrow and we'll talk about it. i'm pretty sure that means yes (with the rule that i dont drink, which im happy with since im trying to stop drinking at work anyway), or else he probably would've just said no. so yay, back to making triple what i make now. i honestly told my manager that i was considering going back there, and would he let me come back if things dont work out? he said no. i understand why he said no, and he understands why i want to leave. he told me he'd like me to stay, and said that for the rest of this week i dont have to pay shift pay. a small, but very much appreciated gesture. it's nice to have a place that wants me there.
but i dont want to be stuck in a club that i'm not happy at just because i'm making more money. i LOVE my club now, other than the lack of spending. what would you do?
