    Default it really -does- add up

    i know this may sound "obvious" but i really started to think about something.

    when it's slow and you see those guys you "know" won't buy dances. you know the ones, you can tell they aren't going to spend much, if anything. maybe it's because you've seen them before or maybe they've been there awhile and you can tell they're "time wasters". so what do you do? you ignore them because you don't want to be "stuck" with them should someone better come in. or maybe you do the quick "wanna dance" hustle instead.

    well i have a new plan for "these guys". i've started trying to hustle dollars out of them. quick little saying hellos and cute comments work best. i don't "stay and sit" because i still don't want to get stuck. i don't try to get them to buy dances (unless it looks like it'll go that way) and i don't try to get them to come up to the stage (god forbid they walk). instead i try to get a buck or two out of them right then and there.

    seems like trouble for nothing? that's what i thought too. that was untill i did some math.

    say you are able to "bleed" just 5 bucks a day total from time wasters when it's slow and you have nothing else to do.

    say you work 5 shifts a week.

    that winds up being 100 dollars a month.

    or... say you're able to get 10 bucks every shift total from guys like this, and say you only work 3 shifts a week, that's 120 bucks a month.

    you bleed them out of 10 bucks a day and you work 5 shifts a week, you now have 200 bucks more a month... etc.

    i always knew in the back of my head "it all adds up" but i never really did the math. maybe 100-200 more a month doesn't seem like a lot to you, but to me, that's my phone bill at least or my car insurance bill at best.


    so from now on i think "those guys are going to pay for my car insurance"

    You're right about dollars adding up. I recently started to refocus on getting more tips on stage. When you're on stage the routine is to pick up your tips from the rack after each song, so I've just started picking them up after they get set down, I give the gy an extra little show so it doesn't look weird, or greedy - but, I'd guess 50% of the time they put another dollar or two right back up to keep you around, and they wouldn't have otherwise.

    I had just really written of stage money, but since I'm up there anyway... and you're right the dollars do really add up.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily

    thats so true. and it comes into play at other times, too. like last night i was thinking to myself at the end of the night that i didnt need one more dance, what difference was $20 more gonna make anyway? my club calls last stage dancer and we can leave, or stay to do lap dances. the guys arent allowed to stay unless theyre getting lap dances at this point. sometimes i try for more, and it can be a good money maker, because the guys there are only there for dances. but sometimes im just like oh fuck it, its the end of the night, my feet hurt and im tired. even if i got just one more dance a night, and worked 3 shifts a week (which i will during school) thats $240 extra a month!

    Yep, I do that. And anytime they say no to a dance I ask if they'd like to "tip me for my beauty" or "stick something in my boobie bank." In a slow club, it's an extra $10-20, but in a busy club it can be $50, cause a lot of guys will give you a five or a wad of ones if they like you but just don't want a dance.

    i'm starting to think i should keep an envelope in my *locker that is strictly for 1s... which i only "take home" once a month.

    i'm curious to see how much it would add up to.

    *at my club, lockers are assigned to girls by seniority, so we leave the lock on at all times, even when we aren't there.

    dont they get pissed off when u ask? i try that but it usually just gets them upset.and then if they wont even give me a dollar after i get offstage, I just get upset -- cause thats cheap and wrong.

    I really like that idea, as well as what you 1st posted. I come into work early (around 4) because I usually can't work late into the night when it gets really busy, so often its slow, so any moneys worth it, its not like theres something better I could be doing.

    oh and btw, I LOVE your avatar. My bro in law got some sotra air brush paint thing for cars, and my bf likes to do all sorts of shit to all his cars, and is also a wee bit homophobic, so we plotted to air brush a unicorn pooping rainbows and glitter on his truck.

    I like this idea, but I would not be comfortable with leaving money (any amount) in my locker, especially over night. Why not keep the envelope at home.

    i trust our dressing room. i've been there over a year now and i know the house moms..... plus there's cameras everywhere and i have a good lock on it.

    plus, i'll totally spend that money somehow if i keep it at home.
