    Default ch2's been bought!

    Rick's Cabaret bought crazy horse too philly as of yesterday. they came in and fired our GM whom we loved and was awesome, and got rid of at least one bouncer. i feel really bad for management in this situation, emily said she asked a manager we like if he was still mgr and he said, "for now."

    i just hope that this goes smoothly and is better for the club.

    Love it!

    hmmm. Only one way to find out. They fired a really cool GM at the one I worked at and replaced him with one who didn't give a crap about enforcing the formerly strict contact rules, would hire anything and anyone as long as they could pay house, and only cared about the door numbers -- whereas your business is based on quality not quantity now, I would fear a shift in the opposite direction. They had a huuuge problem with manager turnover.

    On the other hand, I've talked to some girls who adored dancing at the NYC club, and the corporate management seems to actually hear dancer concerns about certain things, so who knows. I once sent an email to corporate complaining about our dangerously disrepaired women's restroom and I swear to god, in 48 hours it was repaired.

    Best of luck! I went through a whole transition when my old club, Centerfold's was bought by Rick's Cabaret last August. They had fired our old GM, too, whom everybody loved. There were a lot of changes I liked and a lot of changes I DID not like. I think it just depends on the location like Susan said. I ended up quitting Rick's after a couple of months and went to work at the club I work at now. I'm much happier. I don't think I'll want to work for a chain again after that...they had too much control over the dancers, and I did not like that! Let us know how things transpire.

    I hope they don't suck. They seemed nice yesterday, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Rose...you work there?

    Not to be totally gloom and doom, but if I were working there now, I would start scoping out other places to work and making a backup plan. It might not turn out badly, but I'd be prepared....

    Bridgette makes a lot of sense. In this business you have to keep your options open.

    yea, i was jsut about to say... rose you work with us?? what do you look like? say hi dammit!

    well, tonight we found out that the vip price has changed "for the summer only" (heh we will see if that's really true) and they've removed the easy bit, the 3 songs for 100. booooo! that was so easy to sell, and eaasy to upsell to the half hour. now the half hour is $150 and the hour is 300. so now, it's hard to make the optimal 200/half hour. i had a customer in tonight that knows the old pricing so i just had him pay me that, but the other vip i did, a 3 hr one, i overcharged. he was ok with tipping me the extra but.. im not banking on guys to be ok paying the extra $100 an hour. bleh.

    on the good side, there was no stupid showcase at midnight tonight. they are "enforcing" (meh half-assed imo) no-contact floor table dances.

    bad side is repeat air dances are tough imo, and 3/100 was a GREAT easy sell. so far, im unimpressed with rick's. and the guys who had VIP keys before will not be able to use them now. which is a bad move imo, bec now they are forced to come in the front like everyone else. stupid move, sometimes those guys really spent money.

    Love it!

    That sucks really bad, but maybe it will bring in more and more customers since they might advertise more. I hope everything goes ok.

    What's his name and which Ricks did he manage? I worked at the original one a few years ago.

    things are changing and I can tell it's already not good. They lowered the price of the VIP from $200/30 mins to $150/30 mins. Club cut is still 10% but they are making it really difficult to sell at the old price.

    They say it's temporary to drum up more VIP business for summer, but it doesn't make sense to lower the price of the VIP and then bring it up again unless they are getting us used to making $150/half hour...and add some new charge to the customer (like a bottle, which the VIP host told us he was instructed to push.) It seems logical since the CH2 was apparently in the red the whole time, so they have to devise ways to make more money. Might as well gouge VIP customers!

    That's what I'm saying. I think they are going to raise drink prices in the VIP soon.

    What shifts are you on? If it's day, it's usually a waste of time.

    ^ which mom? if it was sue, you can ignore her. she's a waste of space. amy's the one you want to deal with. and, most definitely is a waste during the day. see if you can't come in later.

    Love it!

    there are two blondes, but that sounds like Sue. She's the daytime housemom and tries to pressure girls to work her shifts.

    talk to Amy. She's the night time HM with really wild hair. Tell her specifically that Sue bullied you into days. Trust me on this. Sue has done this kind of thing before and it sucks because we need quality girls on nights and Sue shouldn't be doing that.

    BTW are you pretty tall? I think I saw you last Saturday night on my way out (left early, had one more damn night at CR Bristol). I'm always weird going up to girls and asking if I 'know' them. We need some sort of SW secret handshake.

    yea, and if she is/was near lockers, often standing with me, i've got long red hair.

    ugh i >DESPISE< sue.

    i also think im gonna talk to shane and ask him directly why he thinks lowering the vip "for the summer" would work? and why he's wanna do away with 3 songer. im gonna point out how most girls sell that with ease.

    Love it!
