This fee has been there like forever and no matter how we vote or comment I don't think these bars are going to remove them but at least we can voice our opposition to these fees in public so that the bar owners get the message. They also can come here if they wish and defend the undefendable (the fees they are extracting out of poor dancers). This is a free country and a free board afterall.
It is hard times in this business and strip bar slow down is spreading everywhere. There are many reasons for this slow down beyond the scope of this thread but it is a reality. But in summary very few like myself have remained as strip bar patron only and have found more intimate and less costly alternatives like MA's. Dancers in particular have difficult times to make money. That is why the quality of dancers has dropped and those who remained have real hard time to make ends meet. To make the matters worse, they also have to pay a fee in order to be able to work in these bars anything between $25 to as much as $60!!!!!!. So if they don't make one night that much as some don't then they do home without any income after hours of work and they have to pay this fees when they come back the next day. This is not acceptable.
Now that business is so slow then I believe that strip bars must remove these fees. Afterall they are making huge profit from us the patron by selling drink several times the price they pay for it. A glass of coke for example I pay $6 is only $1 to buy it in the market. I view these huge fees that hard working dancers have to pay as exploitation of the dancers and in my view there is no justifications for these fees. The bars are making huge profit already out of selling drinks six times the price they buy and should pay the DJs for being employed by them. Since when workers pay the salary of other workers?
Please cast your vote or add comments as what you did.
ps - I am not suggesting a boycott or any action against any club as this will further hurt the dancers. Afterall this is where they work and make money, if any.
I am not associated in any way with any dancer(s) and do not lose or benefit from the removal of these mandatory fees dancers have to pay in order to be allowed to work. No dancer has suggested this topic of discussion to me though it is not hard to assume most if not all are not happy with these fees.
