We have a new manager. He wears all white suits with patent leather white shoes and he's supposed to be really experienced managing clubs, tells us at the meeting how he's going to make us tons of money because it's all about the entertainers, that we're going to double our income in 90 days,, blah blah blah.
We had amateur night wednesday and I guess he hired a bunch of new girls because the sign outside the club says "60 beautiful girls" instead of the 40 or so (i think) we used to have. There were atleast 30 girls, probably more, working tonight. The club wasn't THAT packed, maybe 3/4 of the way full, the VIP section was mainly empty except 3 tables (when i left at midnight anyway). So there was a pretty high girl to customer ratio. We have two narrow runway like stages with no pole, and for each set they were putting three girls up on each stage, for a total of 6 or 7 girls dancing each set because it was so full.. and it kind of sucks when you're stuck in between two girls on a pole-less stage and can't even walk up and down it to work the stage or do anything but stand there and dance in place.
The customers weren't tipping very well, i made 3 dollars my first set and 7 dollars my second, but it was probably because I was just in a bad mindset to work and wasn't putting any energy into it.
The manager likes to go on the microphone and embarass us when we're on stage too saying obnoxious things like "No one is tipping those girls on stage! Someone better go up there right now and put some money in those garters" blah blah blah.. he thinks it helps, but I notice no difference in the amount of tips i get when he's on the mic hustling the customers and when he's not. I get tipped the most when the dj is playing awesome crazy rock music and I get really into the song with no obnoxious microphone voice overs from the DJ or manager about tipping me.
The dressing room was pretty full of drama too, because I guess a girl that got fired for pulling another dancers hair was back and the victim dancer got really upset about it. The girl shouldn't of been back but she was. The only reason the manager says they're lowering house fees is because he wants to make the girl count so high that it makes up for the lower fee. He's doing what's best to make the club and himself money obviously, but not us.
So yeah.. I went home at midnight because i had only made 29 dollars and kept crying while i was dancing because i'm really upset about a stupid ex-bf problem and moving and school and .. just generally stressed out..
but tomorrow... I will make a grand. off one guy. and we will be in VIP all night drinking champagne. well i'll be drinking water, but w/e. and he will be young and rich and cute and want nothing but conversation and flattery.
