    Default yet (another) horrible night....

    excuse the rant.

    I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. I go in with a positive attitude. I look fantastic. My outfits are awesome and well put together. I'm energetic on stage. I smile constantly.

    I was on stage last night, the last set of the night, and there was 4 guys at one end of my rack and one at the other. The four guys were a group and were being obnoxious, but tipping well. When I got on stage the ringleader said "you better perform better than the last girl who was up here". I started dancing and more people started coming to sit down, so obviously I was doing something right. I slide down to the floor to do floorwork and am doing the clock-leg thing slow and sexy ( i practiced in the mirror at home so I don't feel stupid... it's actually a nice move) and the ringleader goes "damn, I feel sorry for whoever marries you". Now I don't know if he's saying that because I'm a stripper and he has something against strippers or that he was alluding that my pussy is un-desirable, beat up, whatever words asshole men use to describe our vulvas... but I almost started crying on stage- that is so mean.

    What the fuck did he mean??

    So I was really upset, wanted to leave.. so I called a cab when I got off stage because they usually take 20 minutes to get there and the manager always tells me I should have called earlier when I'm stuck there waiting for it after all the girls have left. I got dressed and went to go wait on the chair by the door, peeked out 10 minutes later and it was there. Now, the manager spongebob-fatback as some call him was having an egotistical power trip, and decided that we were on "lock down" (cue dramatic music), and that all the dancers had to wait until he said so to leave. I can understand clearing the parking lot for girls who are driving their personal vehicles home, carrying out big rolling suitcases, etc... but I only have myself and a backpack, and the distance between the taxi door and the back door is only about 6 feet, no danger to me to leave when my taxi gets here--- plus, if no one goes out to tell the taxi guy to wait, they will leave and i'll have to wait even longer for another one. The manager wouldn't even ask a bouncer or personally go tell the taxi driver to wait. He just wanted to sit in his office and count his stupid money and mess with the safe and do other "authority position" menial jobs.. making it a big deal that we were on "lock down"

    So I told him I was upset and that my cab was here and that I'm leaving. He said if I left I was fired- so I left.

    Which I guess means I'm fired... I saw him standing outside the door as I drove away in the taxi shaking his head at me.. he's such an asshole.

    So now I'm jobless.. I know I can probably get my job back at the D2, I have no drama with anyone at all except GREG........the other managers love me, the DJ and I are cool, all the girls and I are on good terms.. just this male chauvinist fat pig manager drives me crazy. Probably because he's a scorpio.

    ugh. What to do? Go work at Jiggles? Stars Cabaret? call rockstar and try to get shifts at 205??

    that sucks that you got fired.

    you shouldn't have let those guys get to you though. i know it can be hard, but they're just assholes. plain and simple. it doesn't have anything to do with -you- at all. they would be assholes no matter who was on stage. they're just power tripping idiots.

    Girl, I would have quit too. "Lock down"??? What does he think your club is, his personal whorehouse? You are an independent contractor--leave when you want to. There are PLENTY of other clubs in town-check the list and start visiting them. Good luck babe!

    P.S. You should have said (to the customer) "Well at least I'm not the loser who has to PAY to see a naked girl."
    I agree with Penny-he was a power tripping idiot who was trying to make you upset so he could feel better.Loser!

    I'm sorry that happened to you. Guys can be jerks sometimes. What some guy at your rack says is much more a reflection on him than on you.

    As far as the club situation, fired doesn't always mean fired in a SC. If you want to go back, there's a god chance you can just show up in a few days or a week like nothing happened. Or call to get put on the following week's schedule.

    He probably said it as an excuse not to tip you, because that's how insecure cheap bastards are. If he really thought you were unattractive, he would have moved away from the stage. But he was obviously enjoying watching you.

    I recommend memorizing a few stock lines for occasions like that. Real stingers for when guys try to get smart-ass. In fact, check out Ladies Only. I'm going to start a thread so we can share our best comeback lines.

    Haha, I'm waiting for the day when I make one of these f*ckers cry.

    Sorry to hear it was such a bad night for you! I'm constantly amazed at how stupid and crude guys can get in the club.

    Hopefully they'll let you back, i know it sucks waiting and not knowing though. Worst case, you could always come play at D1 with me(provided Im still there, LOL)

    As for the jackass customer, I know its hard but all of us in this business need to be able to let dumb comments from losers roll off us like water off a duck's back. Always remember that they are the dork with no social skills, they are fucked up, not you. Save your feelings for people who actually matter in your life.
    And who knows... Maybe "i feel sorry for whoever marries you" was a compliment, as in your husband will have to fight off lots of other men because you are hot. At worst it was a comment on your move, because you were on your back. He meant it as a joke, to make his buddies laugh. In no way did it mean you were not hot, or even that your dancing was bad. He was just trying to impress his nerd-gang by making a funny. Learn not to take things so personally. (I know easier, said than done)

    As for your job, getting fired in this business means nothing. You have to pretty much murder someone to be fired permanently. You can probably go back to work as if nothing ever happened and be fine. If the lard boss gives you any shit, just fake an "aw shucks, I had a bad night, was in a horrible mood, and wanted to leave." Blame it on PMS. He'll let you come back if you give him 30 secs of ego stroking.

    Gypsy, I am so sorry. I haven't danced nude in a long time, but if I ever heard a comment like that, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep myself from crying

    Lock down?? WTF is that about?? I have never had managers pull that shit on me in all my 13 years of dancing!! Maybe things are different in CA and Texas?

    I would have got in that taxi also.

    ^We've had lock downs here in TX. They make all the girls wait until they clear the parking lot. If you have a ride or a cab they are usually reasonable and let you out. It is supposed to be for our safety (and probably also to prevent prostitution), so it does not make sense to make a dancer miss her cab and not have a ride home.

    You know, this is why I quit Safari after working there a few nights. My ride of friends (who had NOT been in the club that night, or ever) was outside the door, I was ready to go...but I couldn't because we were on "lock down." Something about being held against your will when your ride is RIGHT FUCKING THERE just seems to defy logic, doesn't it? I called the manager "dude" and left, never to return again. It really sucks, too, because the only fucking thing you want to do after a strip club shift is LEAVE.

    At D1 Thursday night they let me leave my shift early, around 2, and the bouncer walked me out to my car, made sure the car of patrons in the parking lot left, and gave me a little talk about how if anyone was following me, I should call the club, turn around and come back to the parking lot, where the bouncers would be waiting with the local county police.

    I'm sorry that the manager at D2 is being an asshole; he's rubbed more than a few of us the wrong way trying to force us into day shifts or not letting us leave as leniently as the other manager. My advice to you is you have to work around him. Ask Bruce when he's working and work those nights at D2. I'm not sure about him letting you back. I've walked out twice when I was just too frustrated to deal with it, and the last time I did it I just worked somewhere else for a month and came back and got no flack at all. Something tells me he'll remember this, though, so don't be disappointed if his ego won't allow your insubordinate ass to come back (sarcasm).

    Luckily I've gotten to the point at D1 and D2 where I can just go work and they don't even ask me to schedule.

    I've never seen you there, but I have been working at D2 really sporadically all summer. I worked my first shift at D1 last Thursday and will probably just work there for a while.

    You are SO much better off without this club. "LOCK DOWN?" Excuse me??? You are independent contractors, assuming you pay house fees like in 99.9% of clubs. And beyond that - you are ADULTS. They have absolutely, positively NO legal right to hold you in a building against your will. FUCK that attitude in a manager. Just goes to show they do these things because a lot of dancers just won't argue about it, and management KNOWS it, not because they have any actual right to do so. At. All.

    Grr! That just struck a nerve with me, obviously, heh. I'm sorry you had to deal with this, but seriously, you're better off. Good for you for leaving, as was your inalienable right.

    Ugh. I worked at one club that did LOCK DOWN at the end of the shift. It wasnt for our safety though. It was so they were sure every girl had paid every dime THEY thought she should. Yeah....every girl. So if one girl was screwing around or passed out drunk....we all had to wait until she got around to tipping out. We also had to stand around while they called us whores(the DJ mostly) and told us that they KNEW we had made more and were screwing them out of tips.

    The club closed at 5am. There were nights I didnt get out until 7. I cursed out many a douchebag staff member there and didnt work there long.

    I put up with enough crap from custies...I REFUSE to put up with it from people I am PAYING.

    Oh and for those in south Fl....this was at Tootsies in Miami. I do NOT recommend working there.

    I called the club. Bruce said I shouldn't have been fired for that and he'll talk to the owner for me, and to just come work on nights he works and he'll take care of it.

    I have never heard of Lock Down, it sounds scary.
    Dont worry Gypsy, I just put a post up about some assholes aswell.
    It's just the shit part about our work and you are certainly not alone,
    everybody has experienced something like that being said to them. You
    just have to be really strong in the head and not give a shit. he really crappy part is that you had this silly Lock Down thing and you got fired. I think that you will get your job back when management realise what happened and that it is trivial shit to get fired over. Good luck and dont feel bad

    Sorry what happened to you hun, that guy sounds like a total douche!

    Anyway about the lockdown thing, BULLSHIT! I have NEVER had to do that, nor will I. I am a happily married woman, and hubby will be in the Army soon, and when I have to leave a club for the night, it will be so I have enough time to get home so he can make it for eary morning PT or drill. Any club that will refuse to work with me on that one, can suck my clit balls, since I will NOT budge on that, lol.

    I had a club try and call the cops on me once for theft, since I did not pay them the $15 I "owed" them for the gown show. Since I did NOT do a dance during that special, I refused to pay, fuck that.

    I hate lockdown bullshit. They did that union jack's sometimes. If you had your timing wrong you had to wait until the BARTENDER was ready to leave to leave! This could be 3 am instead of 2:30. Also, you had to wait until all of the girls had paid. Even the crying ones in the dressing room slowly counting out all of her ones. sigh.

    FUCK that little twerp on stage. Seriously, guys like that are losers. I feel sorry for the poor chick that has to deal with that little prick.

    And it sucks about you getting "fired". Maybe you can call him back and just tell him that the cab was going to leave and that you had to get out otherwise you'd have no ride!

    For some reason, the managers can either be real pricks, or really understanding.
    If he is a prick, then just forget that place. You dont want to work somewhere where they treat you that way.
    Good luck.

    Don't take shit from idiots like that. Fuck with 'em back. You could say something like "Really? Well, my husband is a bouncer here. Would you like to speak with him?" muahahahahahaha

    I agree with everyone else. Move on to a club that treats you better!
