    Default Rant

    Tonight I did worse than I've done in months, probably 1/5 of my usual. I wonder if the breakup with my boyfriend has affected my work. The dances I did do I did well (so they said) but getting them back there was hard. Plus there was a ton of cheap fucks and one guy (mid-dance) got up and said "I can't do this! I'm a Southern boy!" I calmly said that he still needs to pay up, and was so proud of myself for being assertive. However...the bouncer told me to just let it go (GUARANTEEING HIMSELF MINIMUM TIPS FOREVER). I mean, it was only half a dance, but obviously he was just trying to get half a dance and not pay. This sort of ruined my mood for the rest of the night. There were so many cliques of random dudes who weren't getting dances, two bachlor parties (I really don't like these), and of course, a bunch of women just sitting there staring down their noses at the girls. It's like Saturday is the new Friday. I don't know...something was off. I am going to work all nights this week and see if it gets better.

    ^^ That bouncer's on my shit list now. What a tool! Sorry you felt so unsupported!

    It's just one of the downswing times in the biz. Try (I know it's so hard) not to take it personally. Even when it's like pulling teeth, I try to remember that it just takes that ONE GUY in a sea of cheapskates and assholes. ONE big spender who's totally into YOU is all you need. Believe that he's out there & you just have to find him.

    Good luck sweetie!

    Those bouncers and management do not have your back at all there, so feel free to tip minimally. I'm sorry you had such a crappy night! God, the weekends there suck. Didn't use to. I blame that DJ. The bar does great with liquor sales, but the "party atmosphere" he creates is the furthest thing from what we need to get a good-spending crowd in there. It's not like, party with the strippers! it's party with your boys, yo, and the semi-stripper chick friends you brought with you! spend money? what for!

    Hope it improves for you this week.

    yeah, i was there last friday and it seemed slow (was kinda hoping you'd be there susan, *wink wink*)

    is that dj only there on the weekends?? he is so f'ing annoying! even the girls i was with were saying that. and i swear to god i'm gonna take that damn strobe light that he flashes at random spots in a song and shove it down his throat one day. it blinds me for like 5 seconds min afterwards! it eventually gives me a headache.

    oh and get this...he played MMM BOP!!! By HANSON!!! WTF! seems a bit wrong to be playing a song sung by 10 yr olds in a sc!

    oops, sorry to threadjack!

    Not sure what club we're talking about... that SUCKS.... What are you TIPPING the asshole for? I've never had a bouncer pull shit like that on me, but then I haven't been doing this long....and can't hustle the floor for dances, so I don't sell all that many...

    Ah well, Karma is a bitch... I'm sure he'll lose MORE money over it in the end than he would have from just insisting the cheapo pay you...

    It's the Dolphin II, and usually it's a pretty professional, profitable environment to work in, but the bouncers wouldn't really cause conflict over a few dancers, so I was told to just let it go. It's so funny that his Southern morals would prevent him from getting a dance yet he refused to pay even half or tip or anything. What a loser! They have rearranged the whole club where the VIP section is just a room with couches (no gauzy transparent fabric dividing the couches giving an illusion of more privacy) so that VIP sale is stupid. The couch dance area itself is rearranged in a way I don't like. I just had to deal with so many douchebags who had no money. Louie plays MMMBop more than appropriate. I hope to work all week tonight (trying to save) and hopefully I can get my groove back and hustle some dudes this week. I'll keep y'all updated. And yes, I'm going to tip them all minimally. I don't care if they hate me.

    It's funny, maybe I just didn't notice the decline so much because I had this amazing regular. Well his expiration date is up now, so I have to find some more, hone my conversation skills, and step up my looks. I guess it's easy to get lazy. Every night I worked there I was flying high as a top or near top earner with no hustle, and now I'm back in the game!

    ^Ah, I just realized that might have sounded like I was "bragging" about a regular. Well, I've only had a few regulars like that in my whole life, and now since I won't do OTC the regular is gone. I was just saying that now I have to struggle again, like everyone else. Basically more ranting about the demise of the regular that made my life easy for a little bit.

    Great advice, Rose! I've been the same $$$ wise...the Spurs Playoffs aren't helping a lot here in San Antonio, either...business blows right now!!! I pray for better shifts ahead...I miss my good money without the emotional drainage.
