    Default Lost an entire night's money in parking lot

    So I had one drink at work tonight. ONE. I made $201 tonight and it was pulling teeth to get it. Since I had the drink in the last hour and felt buzzed, I had the general manager breathalize me in the parking lot after i got my keys from the valet just to make sure i was ok to drive.

    I always put my money for the night in my front right pocket. Tipout money goes in the left. I emptied the left pocket for tipouts. I get home, and my money in the right pocket is gone. Not in my front walkway. Not in my pockets. Not in dance bag. Not under seats in the car. Gone. An entire nights earnings. Lost. SOmeone made an easy $201 bucks that it was hell to make for me. I got naked for free. I called the club to see if anyone had in the slight chance been honest and had the mgr check the parking lot for me. No luck. Didnt think so.

    Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like shit, but too tired to cry. I feel even stupider because i got buzzed at work, which i NEVER do. It's one of my rules so i can keep my mind on the money and the money on my mind. Break it once, get fucked once. I didn't think i had a lesson to learn. I know i did the right thing by blowing at the end of the night to see what my blood alcohol level was. ANd i get fucked.

    Moral support? Please? THis feels horrible.

    Sorry that happened to you-losing money sucks. Is it possible that you could've put your money in a weird spot and then forgot, like in one of the pockets of your dance bag or suitcase that you never use, or in your makeup bag or something? Sometimes at the end of the night if I'm absentminded or rushed, I put my money in a weird spot and then have trouble finding it later.

    Awww, sorry it happened, espically on a tough night. But at least it wasn't an awesome night. Like, it's easier to make back 200$ then 500$, you know.

    I'm sorry that happened to you, I can imagine how terrible you must feel.
    Sometimes when I'm drinking I get extra paranoid about fucking up and losing things (like I'm afraid that my lowered inhibitions will fuck me over) so I end up being even more careful. I'll put things in a "safe" place that turns out to be wayyyy too hidden. As in, even I can't find it the next day. Like Blondhottie said, check around in random places.
    If you can't find it, relax. Think about how blessed you are to be stripping, and being able to make that much in a night. Maybe karma will smile on you and you'll end up with much more than you'd normally make some night in the future. Anyway, I feel for you, it totally sucks to lose hard-earned money.

    Girl! I feel for you, exact same thing happened to me in January, I think I must have dropped it getting out of the taxi. I felt shitty about it for a day or two then forgot about it. I did an extra shift the next week and on that shift made more than double what I had lost, I feel that made up for it.
    But, yeah, on the one hand it really sucked because it had been a quiet night and I had to bust my ass to make that £100, but on the other hand at least it hadn't been a good night and I'd thrown away £300.

    Yes, it happened to me a few weeks ago. It was my first night going back in a while and I think I made like $250 or something. It was like pulling teeth then too. So my cab driver picks me up and brings me home. When I get in the house, I shower and go to bed. When I get up in the morning I could my money, and I only have like $127!!!! I freaked, and called my cabbie. He hasn't seen my money (he's an honest guy) but told me after he dropped me off he picked up some folks from the greyhound...

    I was so upset I cried..I try to look on the bright side about things though. I just felt like God wanted them to have it more than me. Maybe them finding that money was a blessing..that's how I like to think it worked itself out.

    I forgot my purse in the CR one night, back when I was still kinda new. I was drinking...I don't drink anymore at work, but for many reasons. Anyway, I realized I didn't have my purse on me while dancing for another guy. I had only been there a few hours, but it had been good so far (I had made at least $400...all of which was in that purse). SO I had to leave the guy I was dancing for, who was spending well, and go looking.

    I knew where I left it, and sure enough- one song later- it was gone. I was very upset. I also lost the spendy customer to another girl because he didn't want to wait. It sucked. I got my shit together and made some more money that night, but I sure learned my lesson. Also, I kinda new which girl did it. I didn't have the balls to insist the manager check her bag, but they fired her soon after anyway because they caught her stealing other stuff. Losing money REALLY sucks. I feel for you.

    I've ALMOST done it... But it always ends up that I put it somewhere that i don't usually (like my purse, another area of my dance bag, in the pages of the book that I'd brought, etc). I say to check again!

    On the bright side, at least it wasn't a larger sum of money!

    That sucks. I'm sorry. I think Lilylove is right - karma will come back around.

    I lost $100 bill from a nights earnings one night last year. I was hurrying to get out of work and it must have fallen out of my purse in the parking lot.

    It's a horrible feeling. I sympathize with you.

    Thanks for your support, girlies. I had a good night tonight at work so i don't feel so bad about last night. I was so mad at myself until my boyfriend kindly reminded me that everyone makes mistakes and that includes me, and that i'm allowed to make them too. Figures it was Friday the 13th!! It's almost funny.

    My purse got stolen a few weeks ago, while I was dancing. I thought i did a good job watching, but apparently not good enough. My mgr found my purse out by the valet station at the end of the night missing the almost 700 bucks, but nice guy left my lipstick and perfume My advice is to get over it, pretend you never had it, you will be in a bad mood for too long and it will effect you.

    Aww hugs to you hun!

    The same thing happened to me once so I know how you feel! I was working a weekday shift which is usually DEAD and I had managed to just scrape past the hundred mark. At the end of my shift, I walked out to my car and what do you know... a PARKING FINE! So really, I had wasted my night and the petrol to get to work to leave in the negative zone.

    So as hard as it might be for you now, chin up! Hopefully something good will come your way soon. =)

    Lol I was already going to post DON'T THINK IT'S "KARMA" --shit happens. Being superstitious makes it worse, then when u said it was Friday The Thirteenth...lol I feel you tho. Yea --you didn't deserve it, and it wasn't because you had broken a rule and some unknown force is punishing you...


    Glad you made it back, and it really does suck.

    What a drag. I'm sorry that happened to you.
    Maybe it is the Universe's way of reminding you not to drink at work. Your man is right...we all make mistakes. But like everyone on here said, at least it was only $200 and not, say, $800.
    Somehow it will come back to you.

    absolutly!!
    hopefully the person who found it needed it so much more then you sucks to be you tho. i hate losing money, but i figure, easy come, easy go. $200 is an easy wage for us even on a bad night, 200 for someone else on the other hand...

    I had my purse stolen from right under my nose during check out. Cheap purse with 500 from that night. I was really tired, but yeah, I still cried. Went back the next night for an extra day and made almost 800. That was just a couple months ago.
    Area there cameras in the cr? If so, and someone cares, you can find out. but, i guess if she left...well, they always come back.
