    Default Sometimes I feel like I am getting robbed

    I love my club, but sometimes with the CRs I feel like I am getting robbed. The CR starts at $400 that half hour, up to $600 the half hour...we get half. Sometimes I'll do a two girl room...this can end up costing the custie $1200 or $1400 but we only get 300 or 350 each. I usually try to do the cheaper room for longer and sell a champagne upgrade (we get commission on upgrades) because the custie is more likely to do an hour, and I make more money doing an $800/hr vs a $600/half room.

    Lately it dawned on me that I should be trying harder to get rid of the champagne as fast as possible (I have a joke with my manager that I need a potted plant in all the CRs to pour my champagne in) to sell more.

    Not to mention we pay 5 out of 20 per lapdance.

    Nevertheless, I make good money. I have to work long hours, and I will stay for 8, 10 or even 12 hours if that what it takes to make my money goals. I know a lot of girls make the same amount in half the time. Argh, I really can't complain. I just had a great month and I saved a buttload of money, but sometimes the club's cut seem exhorbitant. Is it?

    We may not have plants..but there is the ice bucket....I pour out half of my glass into the ice bucket when I go for a "refill"..lol!

    Unless i actually want the champagne...but when you are getting multiple bottle..thats too much for me. SO I drink half a glass...tehn tip the glass back as if I'm draining it while I get up to go get a refill..and dump the rest into the ice bucket.

    It's crap that if a guy gets multiple rooms..after the first if he doesnt want another bottle they will give him a $100 break on the price...but you still only get half. So now you are getting $150 per half hour for the lower room...IMO we should still get our $200...esp since the club is now getting money for nothing. Theres no overhead(no bottle) and it isnt like theres a line for the rooms..esp during the day. So $100 to the club should be PLENTY

    $100 is plenty considering no bottle to sell and his ass just sitting on the cushions. Should be called a ass sitting tax to the dancer.. >

    Gah I wish clubs would just make it easier for girls to make loads of money. Rich happy chics bring more customers.

    Dam, only making half of what your selling the CR room, you are getting robbed. I remember working @ Deja VIP was $150 for 30min and the club took $50. I thought that was a ripoff...

    My new club VIPs are anywhre from $200+ (I usually charge $350) and the club still only takes $50. That's awesome!

    Just think Sunnie if you were working at a club that didn't make you pay out so high, how much money you could make in an even shorter amount of time..

    It is a total rip off, but it is still probably more than you could possibly make on the floor in the same amount of time for the same amount of hassle.

    When I worked at a club like that, that's how I looked at it to keep my sanity. Then I moved.

    My club claims that for an hour we are supposed to charge 400- 200 to the club and 200 to the girl. Well, they say that 200 goes to the club, and whatever we want to charge is up to us. Well the fact is that NO ONE in my club sells hours. Ever. I've been there for 14 months and I've sold 4, but I only ever told them I was doing one. The other 3 times I paid the DJ to take me off stage and took all the rest.

    I want to make money for our club but they give me no incentive to do so. I'm not paying them 200 dollars when I can finagle my way out of stage myself and save the customer money (to give to me later).

    I told my manager the other night I'll give them 100 on the hour from now on, but I'm not bsing about it. I'm going to hand them 100, and tell them I'm gone for an hour, don't bother me. And I better be sure they're actually putting it in the drawer/safe and not pocketing it. My club is not exactly strict. I'm only doing it to get myself out of doing stage and things anyway. I figure if I make them enough money over the next few months they'll let me get away with murder.

    Damn! We make NO money off the VIP or CR...it all goes to the club!!! So i think that's why there are a lot of extras given down here! There's no incentive to up sell to one of those rooms because we don't even get a cut! I'd rather the guy save he's $ and spend it on me!

    ^^^WHAT?!?!?!? No cut!!! WTF is that...you mean you make nothing off of rooms a all?

    There is no fucking way i would be stuck in a room for 30 minutes or more with some guy if I wasn't getting a cut. As it is, some nights (like tonight) I try my damnedist to sell a two girl room cause it is so much less of a hassle than being in there alone, even though the money dries up quicker like that. (Cause it is so damn expensive for the custie).

    Oh fuck that! So, can you not make up your own price if a guy wants to go into one of those rooms? See, in situations like that, I woudn't be offering up rooms either.

    In many clubs I won't even try to sell CRs because I can make more hustling dances on the floor. But in this case, if you're only getting $15/dance it'd be hard to get more than $300 for a half hour on just dances.

    I know it feels like robbery (and it basically is) that you're only getting half or a little less on the CRs, but a $200-300 cut for a half hour of your time is actually pretty good money. Girls don't get that much in most clubs.

    I fully encourage dumping some of your champagne in the ice bucket while custy isn't looking. This keeps you from getting too drunk while maintaining the illusion he's paying for And when the bottle is gone - oops! better get another! After dumping most of yours out, you can take a teeny sip then make a show of refilling both of your glasses. Hand him his glass to drink more, then take another teeny sip (or just put it to your mouth, they don't know the difference). When you go to the bathroom, always take your glass and dump out half or most of it in the sink.

    Another thing you can do is get the guy to pay YOUR part of the room fee in cash, then put the club's charges on the credit card. When custy pays you cash, you can better negotiate your own deal. OR you can have him get the funny money for you from the waitress before going into the room. Charge him a higher price for your cut but take him to the cheaper room so he'll pay a lower room fee. Not all guys will go for this, but many will.

    You can also get them to tip you in cash if they insist on paying for all on the cc. Once the room is done, tell him the club takes most of your money and the only way to even it out is if he tips you in cash on the side. Say it with your best puppy dog face. On the way out of the room, walk him to the ATM if he doesn't have any cash.

    Another thing I've done is make friends with the waitress and work out a tipping deal with her. Most guys can tip the waitress on the final tab at the end. You make a deal with the waitress that you're going to get custy to tip YOU on the tab at the end, and then split it with her. Depending on how the club handles waitress cc tips, you can get quite a nice thing going with your waitress to help you BOTH make more money. Careful with this though -some waitresses may just take all the money. Make sure you have the understanding BEFORE going for it.

    I know it sucks turning over so much money to the club but when you feel down about it, be grateful that you have customers that are willing to spend so much money in a champagne room. I have a hard time selling 30 dollar VIP dances because our customers are all so cheap.
