Okay, so I've been doing this a few weeks making about $100 a night for six hour shifts, having never made more than $200 a night (which has only happened twice). I was beginning to think that I am ugly or that there is something wrong with me when a girl said that I was just 'trying too hard' and that 'everyone has "their" nights'....
She said that I should forget about how much I am making, need to make, etc., and just have a really good time, and I'll have my first $500 night, guaranteed....so I do as she says, and after tip-out.....ta-da....$5!!!!
I didn't even make back gas money for getting there and back!
I'm sick to death of hearing girls talking about their three and five and eight hundred dollar nights while I'm just as broke as I was before I started doing this, plus a whole new list of expenses (make-up, clothes, shoes, etc).
I'm beginning to think that this was just a huge mistake on my behalf. This would be a great job if I could make a friggin' living doing it, and if I wasn't just wasting my time. Every night I work the other girls say things like
"Don't judge this job by tonight, it's a dead night." and "Give it a good month before you give up, so-and-so didn't start making any money for awhile, either" and "You're going to do great, just give it some time..."
I'm so tired of this!!
I started doing this because I'm $1000 behind on my elec. bill, I go to school full time and have 3 year old twins, and I can't pay my rent! Now I still can't pay my rent, I'm sore all over, I'm exhausted, and I'm not any closer to eating something other than macaroni and cheese.
What is going on here?
I just want to cry!
Am I doing something wrong? Am I doing everything wrong?
The closest I came to any real money this week was some tool at the rack who was there with a bachelor party. I suggested that he buy his friend a dance and he said 'Oh I'm sorry, all I have are these $100 bills' with a big stupid smile on his face as he flashed a wad of hundreds in front of me.
I went in the dressing room and I really did cry then
I don't know what else to do
What do you do when your 'last resort' isn't working?
