Hey all, I don't have a lot to say about Sheiks since I only cocktail waitressed there for about a second, but I will say that it wasn't a good experience. The management was rude and unsupportive, as were the other girls and bartenders. I went to the staff meeting where the owner/manager told everyone not to be doing any extras in the VIP rooms, but I saw girls rolling their eyes and heard them talk about doing all of that in those rooms. The management is greedy and will take all of your money. In an 8 hour shift, I only made $20 in tips because the bartender messed up the order so I had to pay for a few drinks out of pocket. Also, they hire zillions of waitresses and beg you to become a dancer, so every waitress only has like 3 tables, which no one come to! I only had maybe 5 customers all night. I hope the other clubs in town are better!

[quote]It's a disturbing trend to see that these clubs are getting so greedy. This was all started by those greedy bastards at Deja Vu who came up with the brilliant scam, "Hey, why not CHARGE our employees to work here?"[/quote] This has been a standard club trend long before Deja Vu even existed. Infact this is very much the norm throughout the United States.

I only worked there a few days and during a slow season, so I guess I can't judge too accurately. But my overall impression of this club -- and of Minneapolis in general, since all the clubs are the same, I hear -- is that they are incredibly greedy mafia types. It's nearly impossible to get a guy to buy a dance there, and if you do sell a dance the management immediately has its hand out with some excuse why you have to give the money to them. The house fees total $180 a night. They try to justify it by saying you are "claiming" dances and "buying a half-hour suite feature." But it's still $180. If you don't make that much in a night, then you owe it out of your own pocket or they won't let you work again. Every hour, they parade all the girls out on the floor with some stupid piece of merchandise like (I'm not kidding) a Timberwolves beanie baby or bobble-head toy, for which the girls have to pay the house $20 and then sell two $20 floor dances to try and make up at least some of the money. So, if you sell all your "features" in a night, add another $160 to your pay-out to this greedy club. Then there are the VIP rooms. I finally got one (God only knows how, since I don't offer to suck cock like some of the girls do) and for a half hour it cost the customer $280 in credit card fees and tips. Of that, I got only to keep $96 (because you get $120 for a half hour and the club takes 20% of that if it's on a credit card). The drinks are $14 for a glass of wine and $9 for a rail drink. No discounts for dancers. And their drinks are weak and their house wine is probably Sutter Home. You have to work until closing (2 p.m.), no leaving early even if you have a broken leg. Then they make you sit upstairs until all the customers have left. Then, you have to wait another half hour for the manager to come have an "employee meeting" -- which is basically, "Good job tonight. We need more girls. Tell all your friends to work here." They even charge you $20 to rent a locker. Jeez, let us keep SOMETHING!! Management keeps insisting that girls are raking in thousands of dollars there. But at $100 a half-hour in VIP, I don't see how that is possible. Even if you were in the room all night long for 8 hours that's still only $1,000 take-home after you pay out everybody. No wonder they only have 10 to 15 girls a night and not one of them is better-looking than a 7. The only good thing about this club is that the girls are all very nice and welcoming to new girls. But after making $300 in three days after tip-out, I just couldn't see staying there. If I want to make minimum wage I would work at Taco Bell and not have to get naked. As for other specifics, beautiful club with lots of potential but mostly empty most of the time, probably due to the high prices and the lack of pretty girls. The club fills up with a ghetto crowd after midnight. I haven't seen a lot of businessman types, although I hear they do come in occasionally. Weird stage -- there's no pole and you are not allowed to touch the floor, so all you can do is kind of walk around or else disco dance. And there's too much rap and hiphop music. I asked their DJ for classic rock and he gave me a blank stare, then said "You mean like 80's big hair music?" You have to wear long gowns and they have a rule that you can't wear any perfume. My suggestion would be stay away from Minneapolis. It's a disturbing trend to see that these clubs are getting so greedy. This was all started by those greedy bastards at Deja Vu who came up with the brilliant scam, "Hey, why not CHARGE our employees to work here?" They must perceive that we girls are making thousands of dollars a night and therefore owe the club for letting us work there. They should stick to making money on drinks and cover charges and not off the backs of the girls who are, after all, the only reason they are in business at all.

Schieks is by far the club to work at if you want to make a ton of money. A lot of women average $600-1000 a night. The difference with Scheiks comapared to the other topless clubs in town is there are semi private rooms in the front and back of the house. The rooms can get a bit out of hand if you and your customer have been drinking. Each entertainer will recieve $120 for each half hour booked. If you receive a $20 "Dance Dollar" (credit card money), you will get back $9-13 cash when turned in. I worked at Scheiks for a while and l did not mind the rooms. I left because I always had this feeling that I was in trouble or I was doing something bad. I don't think they intentially tried to make me feel this way, but I couldn't help feeling a bit stepped on there. You have to claim 8 dance at the end of the night whether you sold them or not ($160 to house) and you have to sell a $20 feature for $40 every hour.
