    Angry Grrrrrr! Useless Bouncers.

    Ok, so by now I've worked at 3 different clubs.

    The first club I worked at, a bouncer actually threw a guy right out of his barstool and onto the ground for me- then chased him right out of the club along with 4 other bouncers into the parking lot, and I can only guess what happened out there.

    Well I got bored with the place after awhile and moved on. At the second club, a guy actually grabbed me while tipping me on stage, and tried to shove his face in my boobs! I (finally) pushed him off, grabbed his chin, and gave him a firm, lightning fast slap right across his face! He almost pulled me off the stage fer crying out loud!

    He then stood around with his buddies, cursing at me in Spanish, and at one point threw his wad of ones while I was still dancing. I picked it up and threw it right back at him.

    The experience was worth it to slap a rude customer (only time I've ever done that), but the problem I had with it, was that the bouncer just sat there the entire time. He'd been sitting on his ass all night, but you think he would at least move it to, at the very least CHECK OUT a physical altercation between customer and dancer.

    I had to call this useless lump over to get him to get these guys to leave, as they were still harassing me at the end of the stage and scaring off would-be decent tippers. He asked me if this was my last song, and I said it was but that wasn't the point, I didn't want them giving me trouble while I worked the floor. He told me they wouldn't be bothering me again- then did absolutely nothing! Eventually the guys left on their own, fortunately without giving me any more trouble, but with NO thanks to "security".

    I left that club soon after, and went to an upscale gentleman's club, where a guy who was flashing around a wad of 100's (ever notice how it's always these guys who try to stiff you in the end?) kept me in the 30-per-song lapdance area for over an hour. I kept telling him I didn't want to waste his money- that if we were going to spend this much time in private we should go to the VIP, which would have been cheaper after all the time he spent where it cost 30 bucks for every 4 or 5 minutes. But he said "money wasn't a thing" (of course) and kept me back there.

    Of course the entire time he was telling me how much he wanted to see me outside of the club, get my phone number, could see himself "falling in love" with me (I stopped him at that point. Come on.) So it was doubly pathetic when, after over an hour, he tried to pay me 150 and acted as though that were more than he owed me. I told him that we were actually upwards of 300, but that I would only charge him 300 dollars overall. Well, he gave me 200 but argued with me about the other 100, saying we'd only been back there for 20 minutes.

    This guy pulled a 180 from the charming player he'd been acting a few minutes before. I told him I could check with the bouncer, who had seen us go in and actually commented about half way through how long we'd been back there. He actually said that yeah, I should do that! What an asshole.

    This of course is just a shitty customer, they happen. But what was really infuriating, was that when I did go to the bouncer, he said he "didn't know" how long we'd been back there- couldn't even give me an estimate as to how long we were gone to back me up. Spineless fucking prick.

    I followed the douche bag customer back to his seat, where his best friend confirmed that he'd timed us and we'd been gone over an hour. I was being called up to the stage- earlier than I was supposed to be called- and they rushed me on, so I told the bouncer this guy still owed me $100, and to watch him. He tells me ok, so I go on.

    Only to watch the guy walk out the door.

    I go back to the bouncer, asking "Did you just let that guy leave?" He then told me, "No, I didn't let him leave- he left. We can't do anything for you if they don't pay you besides ask them to leave anyway."

    MOTHER FUCKER!!!

    NO I don't want you to ask them to leave! I want you to KEEP them there until they PAY me!

    Isn't that your JOB? What the hell am I tipping you out at the end of the night for if you aren't looking out for me while I'm at work?!

    I know I should have gotten the money up front- however, a bouncers job is to assist the dancers when this happens by being intimidating- hence the "mass" required to even BE a bouncer in the first place! Fuck, just because you aren't asked to pay upfront for a dance, does NOT make it FREE!

    You pay AFTER a meal- you are still expected to pay 100% of your bill, even though you've already eaten and can theoretically get up and walk away without paying, after having already been served. No one blames the restaurant when dine-and-dash happens - and you can BET that when they are caught, they are not simply "asked to leave".

    This is such b.s.- these are the SORRIEST bunch of bouncers I have ever seen. I am ASTOUNDED that these assholes are paid a dime for doing absolutely NOTHING.

    Sorry, I just needed to get that off of my chest...

    I'm sorry honey..thats such utter crap. if there is no mandatory tip out..hell if I'd tip bouncers like that. What the hell for?? A good bouncer is worth a great tip...I've worked with some great ones..and some useless ones.

    Great one...threw a guy THROUGH a wall for calling me a whore(because i WOULDNT fuck him in the back room....umm..look up the definition of whore numnuts!).

    I was on stage at one club once..guy comes up, tips me a dollar with one hand...jams a finger from the other up my crotch. I slap him and jump back...bouncer standing not 4 feet away watching. Stays standing there....I said "what the hell ...are you fucking blind???" His answer....he shrugged and said "he's spending money at the bar"....WTF????? Oh..my bad...tell me when he orders another beer..i'll bend over and he can fist me up the ass. I was also hit by a custie at this club..after he called me over, then realized i wasnt the girl he was looking for. "You're not Brittany..."SLAM...punches me in the chest. Fucking PSYCHO. Again..spending money at the bar apparently translates to treat our dancers like complete shit..PLEASE...we'll HELP you.

    Get out. Go back to the club where they actually take care of you.

    We don't even have bouncers at my club. The guy who mans our VIP area weighs about 125 and looks like he'd blow away in a strong breeze. There is no protection for us and evidently that's how management wants it. If I had one criticism of the club, that's it.

    Thats scary. Hopefully your clubs are safer then here...I will NOT work at a club with useless bouncers here. Simply because I've had a cpl literally save my life. Once or twice with a guy that was trying to rape me in a back room....and a few times where a guy hit me..and once when i was being choked by a custie.
    The guys here can be out of control...I would honestly be afraid to work in a club with no bouncers.

    I was working one afternoon in Nashville, and there was a group of really rude guys sitting near the stage. It was finally my time on stage, and about 2 minutes into it, one of the asshole customers came up to tip me. I did my little thing and reached down to get his dollar (I was still standing on my feet for some reason) and the guy snatched it away and called me a c***. He then tried to knock my feet out from under me so I'd fall over.

    I ended up trying to kick him for doing it and the whole time the guy who was supposed to be our 'security' during the day didn't even move. I got off stage and went over and asked why he didn't come help me. He told me that he didn't feel like helping me, he was tired from the night before, and he didn't really like me in the first place. I went to the office and told the manager that until there was a person that could help me on the floor when I was having a problem, I was leaving.

    I hate lazy ass people that don't do their jobs like they are supposed to.

    It's pimp mentality. They really expect to get money from us just for BEING there. These are the guys who couldn't keep a real job because they aren't interested in WORK. I despise these fuckers

    The way to handle a guy like this though, is to tell him what he WOULD have gotten had he lifted a finger to help you. "Yeah so, if you'd helped me get the money he OWED me, I would've tipped you extra. You don't help me, I don't pay you. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Then back it up - no tip that night since he didn't help you. If he DOES help you, tip him extra (10% of whatever he helped you get is a good rule of thumb). A guy like this only gives a shit about "rules" when it's beneficial to him

    These guys don't understand the concept of WORK. And this IS a tip-based business, so you'll get more out of bouncers when they know you'll make it worth their while.
