    Default Friday Night Bag Of Rants

    ARGH. I know there's a rant thread in the Private Party forum...but I need to vent about club stuff for a minute!

    First tonight, I realize that I left my little box of jewelry on the counter in the DR at Club A. The problem with this is a) girls there will even steal dirty thongs if they're left out; I just KNOW it's too much to ask that my entire collection of gaudy rhinestone stripper jewelry will still be there when I go into work on Sunday....and b) I can't just swing by the club and look for it on the off chance that it might still be there, because Club A is all the way across the state line and I'm scheduled at Club B in my home city tonight. I ended up replacing it all online...b/c I'm sure it's gone for good...but now I have to wait 7-12 business days for any of it. I feel fucking naked without any sparkly jewelry! FUCKFUCKFUCK. Especially the huge rhinestone choker necklace that I'd beeen wearing every single fucking night since I bought it...the one that even stopped custies from licking my neck when i leaned back or put my face close to them in LDs (b/c all they would have gotten is a mouthful of metal necklace, so they don't even try when I'm wearing it!).

    I can't even really blame anyone else either; my fault for leaving it out in the first place and leaving it at the club and being stupid.

    So I slink into the Vu wearing a pathetically tiny pair of drop earrings and sulking.
    The club is DEAD. I got there about three hours later than I usually do, and paid more house fee because of it, trying to avoid the whole "sitting around for hours" thing. But no...I get there at 9 and am STILL sitting around for hours. Then in come two bachelor parties full of cheap rude assholes. No help there.

    Finally I sit down with two guys and decide that I can't fucking deal with this anymore and fuck it, I'm just going to get drunk with them. I have a large amount of vodka, and one of the guys asks for details about the CR. I halfheartedly give him the rundown, not expecting to actually make the sale, but he goes for it, and is actually pleasant to dance for!

    Then I get out of the room and go onstage...make $40 onstage, and have literally 15 guys asking for LDs and telling me to come see them when I get offstage b/c they want dances. W00t! My night is turning around; first a CR and now I've got a waiting list. Oh but first, the girl who was supposed to go onstage after me just missed her whole set. So I'm stuck up there for two more songs. OK...

    So I get down after doing two stage sets back to back, and sell multiples to the first two guys waiting for me...and then I hear "last call for alcohol!"

    say WHAT??! I thought it was only midnight! Noooo...it's 1:45 and just now that I've got enough LD prospects to last me an entire fucking NIGHT, we're closing!
    ARRGHGHGHGHGH! This has been happening every single night at this club for the past MONTH. Sit around and wait for hours making no money, then scramble around trying to get to as many people as possible b/c once the clock hits 12:30, everyone suddenly wants a dance--even the douches that turned me down earlier in the night, b/c now they see everyone else snatching me up.

    The DJ and I joke that whenever I dance to "this aint a scene, it's an arms race" it's like the cue to get the night started, because for the past month or so, it seems like I'm *always* onstage and dancing to that right when the rush starts hitting. But really, where were all these guys that want LDs so badly now...where the hell were you all two hours ago?! DAMNIT!

    I figured out that if I'd had the time to do even one LD for everyone who asked me after my last stage set, I would have made $300 more than I did, and literally walked out with nearly twice as much as I actually made. And that's only if I sold each one of them ONE dance...which, if the way my night was going after I got out of the CR was any indication, I probably would have sold multiples to at least half of them. FUCK! Sitting around for HOURS making shit, and then later all these guys are lined up for dances that I didn't even have to hustle for and wanting to give me money...and it's 15 minutes till closing and I don't have enough TIME!

    Excuse me while I beat my head against the wall. Bah. I'm going to bed now. Just had to rant.

    What a stupid club for not staying open to make a buttload more money.

    cities have laws regarding closing times.

    Maybe you should have called club B and asked one of the managers or other staff members to look for your box before the other dancers went in... if something like that ever happens in the future... but I know this sounds bizarre, there might be a bright side!

    A couple of years ago I was driving across the country, broke, with everything I could fit in my car. (2 people gave me gas funds before I left.) When I got to Texas it was a saturday, so I was hoping to find a club that would let me work for just one night. Luckily I did (although it wasn't the classiest or busiest club I had ever worked at) but I made a little cash so I was grateful. I left my make up bag in the dressing room and didn't realize it until I was packing up to leave the next morning.

    So I had 2 choices. Leave without my makeup bag and try to replace all of my products when I could afford to. Or waste a day and wait for the club to open so I could go back and look for it. I waited. And it turned out to be one of the best days of my life. I went to a canyon outside of town and went hiking by myself (lots of other people around, but strangers.) Then I got an ice cream cone (a rare treat for me) and went to see a movie. Finally, ate dinner at an auhentic Texas style restaurant, and by then it was late enough to go back to the club and get my make up bag. It was an adventure.

    You said the guys loved you- even without the flashy jewelry... maybe this will be an opportunity for you to try different looks. This is a stupid post, but I'm just trying to help you look at the bright side...
    sorry you lost your stuff.

    I'll tell you why guys really don't start wanting to crank out the dances until at least 11pm is because when they first walk in they're sober, they're "settling in", "window shopping", maybe watching the game if your club has a TV, etc. So by the time 11-midnight come around they're drunk, the club's packed by then so they have more competition because there's more guys than girls. Trust me, I totally feel your frustration, I can't tell you how many times when we're about to close in 10 minutes I'll find a cool guy that ASKS me to go to VIP and I have turn him down because we do minimum 30 min. There's been many nights I haven't made shit, no VIP's or anything and right before we're going to close I find a customer that wants to go to VIP. I've asked many girls in the DR and they say the same thing.

    Our club closes at 2:45 am. A couple years ago before Atlanta passed this new stupid law clubs were open 4-5am and they also had 24 hr clubs that were awesome! I wish my club was open til 5am, I'd stay, many girls say I don't want it open that long, my wish is, that we could be open 4-5 am and have the option of leaving at 3am. Think how much more money I'd make, by 1:30 I'm like the energizer bunny-keeps going and going and going.........

    Uhhh.. even when I lived in the States the clubs would stay open for more money. Here the clubs HAVE to close at 3am, it's the lockout time... I was actually referring to my American experiences.

    Yep...when I used to work nights, that would pretty much ALWAYS happen...the guys couldn't understand why I wasn't available during the last 15 minutes. In my state, they have to close at a certain time, no exceptions. To help stop this unfortunate trend, I'd let guys know in the last hour or two that they should get a dance now, else they'd have to "get in line and hope for the best." That worked a good deal of the time

    Well, in QLD, we have lockout yet the club (at least the one I'm working within and I know the one across the road does this as well) will stay open to way after 3am. I've known of girls getting hour long bookings at 4am !

    For the rest of Australia, most clubs will only stay open as long as they are licensed to stay open. Some will stay open after their licensed time if it is worth it for them because they are a 'percentage' club... just that they close the bar. Usually when the bar is closed (the club's licensed closing time), the club closes shortly after from my experience. When the patrons can't be served any more drinks (even water), then they tend to leave within half an hour or so.

    Once again, my experience.

    Oh btw, there IS a rant thread available for everyone to use regardless here .... y'all KNEW I was going to post about it so I did

    edit to add: If the club can't stay open if the bar is closed (no serving of drinks even water) due to state/county regulations, then nothing can be done. OTOH, if the club could stay open past the bar closing time ...it probably chose not to do so because they don't make any money from the customer. You paid your stage/door fee - that's all the money that they are going to make off from you basically for the night. Plus since the bar is closed, it now stops the club from making any money from the customer. So the only person making money off the customer is you .... and we all know that the clubs don't give shit how much we all make or do not make when we work.

    Grrrrrrrr......tonight was ridiculous. Zero fucking customers (literally) from the hours of 10pm-11:30pm, people coming in but spending no money (11:30pm-1:45am), then EVERYONE and their mother wanting dances from 1:45am-2:15am. There was a line to VIP (many guys were buying multiples), so only about 30% even got dances.

    lol, I was so annoyed (I was one of the girls waiting in line that never got to do her dances) that I turned to my customer and said "Let this be a lesson to you. When you see a girl you want, grab her! Don't wait, 'cause stuff like this happens...." He had been there since 11:30 and every time I went up to him for uptimes/dollar dances he showed no interest and waved me on. Yet in line he had been talking my ear off about how hot I was and how he had been watching me all night, etc. etc. Dumbfuck....

    Anyone think tomorrow night will be any good?

    Babe, it's against state law for us to be open after 3am Mon-Sat and 1am on Sun.

    If we got caught still open after hours, the club would get shut down, and people would go to jail, lol.
