The bouncer at my club is driving me crazy. He doesn't really do his job. When I'm giving a couch dance I WANT a bouncer to be at least within eyesight of me in case the guy pulls anything, especially since now the dances are in a completely different room because they're remodeling. Last night, I did not see the bouncer ONCE all night. He was busy standing by the front entrance (which I understand is a place they could possibly use a big strong body in case anything goes wrong, but I would prefer him to be watching the dance area, if they really need someone to watch the front and dance area, they should hire TWO). We're expected to give this guy minimum 10 dollars. On a slow Monday, when I didn't even see this guy all night, we still have to give it to him. I feel like handing him 10 and saying "thank you for existing". I realize that he's there just in case anything were to go wrong, but how is he supposed to do his job if he's not even watching? The manager was the one peeking in the couch dance area room, not the bouncer. The bouncer did absolutely nothing for me all night, and still expected his 10 dollars per girl to stand by the door. There were 15 girls, so thats' 150 dollars, just for standing by a door? I wouldn't feel so angry about tipping him if he were to do something like help me carry my bags out to the taxi, watch the private dance room, or actually engage in conversation about which customers are spending (there's no floormen so IMO he doubles as floorman/bouncer) ... but he doesn't. ugh.
I even said to him when I gave him his tip "gee I haven't seen you ALL night".
what to do....
