I found this interesting comment in a reddit thread on "If you have to pay a company to work for them, it's a scam. Walk away." Former club manager says go just after the first of the month, when girls are trying to make rent money. Any truth to that?
Former club manager here. How much a stripper makes depends on a lot of factors like how busy the club is and how many strippers are working, clientele, and the personal tastes of the customers.
Go to a strip club during the day and you'll see lots of old retired men with middle aged strippers. Not because there aren't enough college age girls that want to strip during the day, but because the old retired men don't want someone their granddaughters age sitting on their lap. They are usually divorced or widowers that want someone they can talk to. That's what is meant by personal taste of the customers.
As for the money, night shift girls, average looks, would easily clear $500 a night with little effort and tip out about $100 of that. With some effort and/or above average looks, going home with $1k/night is about average. If the girls do extra stuff (dates outside the club, generally forbidden, but we can't really stop it) they could hit $2k+ per night.
So here's the thing I learned. If you ever want extras in the club or 2 for 1 dances or whatever, go on the 2nd and 3rd of the month when it falls on a slow weekday night like Tues or thurs. The place will be flooded with strippers who only work occasionally. Why? Rent was due on the first and they're late. I've seen 30 strippers on the floor with 10 customers at 7pm on Tuesday the 2nd more times than not.
I need these girls who want to make rent to work the dayshift. I'm not staying up past 9 pm.
