Do Strippers Set Daily Income Goals?
tenisbum1776
I consider strippers to be commissioned salespeople. It strikes me as odd how MANY of them seem to set a daily goal and then stop working when they hit it. For example, they might say, I NEED to make $200 today. Counting house and tip-out that will mean somewhere around $250. The moment they get to $250 in their hands they're out the door; even if there is a room full of men in the club dying to spend money on them.
Now the "good" sales people will stay and make hay when the sun shines. No daily limit for them. But it surprises me how many strippers just don't accept that attitude. Nothing wrong about exceeding your daily sales goal. These harder working strippers often seem to be the girls that the other strippers start stories about because they're making more money. Jealousy among strippers, imagine that. Novel concept, the girls that work harder make more money.
Then, predictably, the next day turns out to be a slow day and they only have $25 in their wallet and they complain and whine to customers about what a bad day their having. Don't they realize that a couple hours work the previous day would have solved this potential problem for the future?
Are they so short sighed and narrow focused to think about the needs of tomorrow, or do they hate their job so badly that they cannot stand to be there one minute past the time they've earned enough to make it though the current day?

Well stated in few words. :)
Probably true but there are exceptions. I know one stripper who was extremely good looking - probably a good solid 8 1/2 or 9 who put her way through college with $30,000 in the bank, an Infiniti G convetable with no loan and ZERO student loans to pay back. When she was at work, she worked - table to table, lap dance room to VIP room. A "bad" night for her was $600. Normal night was $1000. She got to the club early and was ready to work so she didn't have to pay any house and she NEVER left a club early while there were still men willing to spend money.
BTW, she graduated from University of Dayton this last summer and never set foot in a strip club again. Working for Proctor & Gamble in their accounting department. True story.
She was the most squared away, business minded stripper I've run into. And that's why she was only a temporary fav. No future for her and I to become closer.
2) agree w/ carolynne. What woman enjoys having men they don’t know from a hole in the wall groping all over them and constantly making “indecent proposals†– not many women like or can easily tolerate this , especially day after day, IMO.
Even if they did, I've seen that behavior among other salespeople.
And, a lot of them do drugs to numb themselves because they don't like their jobs.
Some girls hate their jobs, so a goal to work to is the only way that they can get though the day.
Others that enjoy what they are doing may have a number that they would like to make, but will not leave when the place is busy.
Not much money to be had and her goal believe it or not was $100. 5 lap dances. House fee at that time was probably not too bad during the day. No DJ or house mom. Still she had to take a cab.
Doubt she returned to her boyfriend (guessing pimp) with much more than $80 net. Buddy tried to convince her he'd pay her $100+ to hang with us at the hotel pool. No go, her boyfriend expected her to return with her under 21 wristband on.
