The other night, I went on a double date with my BF (30M) and his friend and his GF (who happens to work at the club too). We went for dinner which ended at midnight and then we wanted to stay out longer. So why not go to my strip club and make them some business… we go in and ask for nothing extra, just regular seating. It is absolutely empty on Tuesday so the waitress says she will give us a booth for free. She pushes for us to get the $600 bottle but our BFs say “no we already drank a lot at dinner”. Nonetheless we get shots, drinks, etc. and even pay for the waitress’s. Then she starts whispering to us girls to get our BFs in a room with her. She says that if they go in a room with her, she will pay us some of the total… so “we all make money”. I don’t think she realizes that they are our BFs… anyways she goes and complains to the manager that us girls are taking all the money for ourselves and not paying for anything/preventing the purchase of a bottle.

My BF spent over $1000 just for an hour of drinks and entertainment. He even tipped the waitress 100% ($300) not knowing that she was snitching on us. As we’re leaving, the manager whispers to me that he “needs to talk to me next time I work”. I tell everyone else to go to the car and I ask my manager what’s up. He yells at me for not buying a bottle… that I’m greedy for taking all the customers’ money for myself??? That he helps me put all the time?? He says it will bite me in the ass later and he’s going to meet with the other managers to possibly move me to day or fire me. I apologize and say it won’t happen again. I leave and BF is infuriated. He tells me how much he tipped etc. and wants to go in and explain to the manager.

I had no idea buying a bottle was a rule. I see bouncers, managers, and other dancers come in as customers regularly with guests and they never buy a bottle. I’m now infuriated because I think we were discriminated against because they assumed my BF and his friend were customers? Because they looked wealthy? (E.g. nice watches, polos, expensive outfits etc). That WE took their money? Idk what to do but I’m very upset at the staff and especially the waitress for snitching on us not knowing that we would tip her $300. On top of that, WTF was she trying to convince ME to take our BFs up to the room with HER? And she would give me some of the money? Um this is my BF and we share everything already. What do y’all think? Is this fair?

We were very polite to all staff and tipped everyone who serviced us. Every girl who went up on stage. I don’t understand how bringing them business is punishing me now.
