However, there’s a similar set of troubling signs that the strippers themselves need to look for too. If you’re trying to decide if it’s time for a quick trip out of town or a switch in venues, let this guide convince you not to put up with an unpleasant working environment.
We’ve discussed the signs that customers should watch for when deciding whether to stick with their favorite Las Vegas strip club or find a new home away from home. However, there’s a similar set of troubling signs that the strippers themselves need to look for too. If you’re trying to decide if it’s time for a quick trip out of town or a switch in venues, let this guide convince you not to put up with an unpleasant working environment.
Sudden Policy Changes
You’re giving a newcomer a lapdance and when he starts to grope, the bouncer argues with you that the club has allowed touching for weeks now. When management is changing the policies at a whim and failing to tell you and your co-workers, never mind actually asking for your opinions first, you definitely need a change of venue. This is a sign of disjointed leadership, and it could end up with you paying ridiculous stage fees on a whim.
Overcrowding
Too many customers isn’t really a problem, but too many dancers quickly dilutes the focus of the club. Not to mention that each girl ends up making less money! Managers who hire any girl who comes in are inadvertently lowering the quality of the customer’s experience. You’ll especially notice the struggle if those new girls are willing to bend and break the rules you follow, which results in customers pressuring you to do the same. Find a different club where you can really shine as an experienced Las Vegas stripper instead of being crowded out by newcomers that will likely be out of the industry after just a few weeks or months.
Customers Are Leaving
This might sound like a no-brainer, but too many girls listen to the claims of their managers that an ebb in business is a temporary blip in an otherwise unbroken chain of success. If the customers continue to drop off or leave over legitimate complaints like being treated disrespectfully by dancers or the rest of the staff, you should probably follow their example and move on too. Even a shrinking customer base due to uncontrollable reasons should convince you to at least try a new spot for a few weeks. You can always keep just one or two shifts a week at your home club to keep an eye on the customer levels so you’ll know when it’s time to come back.
Erratic Behavior Is Interrupting The Business
From fellow strippers who burst into tears on stage to owners who consider their club a personal dating agency, erratic behavior is a sure sign that the club is going downhill fast. Good dancers and the best customers don’t want to deal with outbursts from bartenders and arguments about drugs and other illegal issues between staff members. If the party atmosphere is growing out of control and getting in the way of the actual business of stripping, treat yourself with more respect and find a better workplace.
You’re Unhappy
Finally, don’t stick around if you’re just not feeling the club anymore. You don’t need a laundry list of objective reasons to make the leap — your emotions and happiness are good enough. A simple change of scenery can have an amazing impact on your mental health and productivity. Before you schedule a month-long vacation or start worrying about what career you can find to get out of the world of stripping, see if a simple swap to a different club makes you feel any better. Never force yourself to stay somewhere that makes you unhappy when Las Vegas is full of big and small clubs to choose from, each with its own unique benefits and challenges.
