Particularly, a club with a way different style. Did you find the experience not a big deal? Or was it jarring? Or did something positive come out of it? —— In my area, I’ve been at two clubs before. Both clubs are within a few minute drive of each other. Club #1 I’ve clocked in lots of shifts, especially post covid. Club #2, I’ve only worked a few times. Both clubs are way different styles.
Club #1 is more regulars based and very personal. Customers want their table time and to be listened to. And that’s what most of the customers come in for and why several will visit with their favorite or favorites very regularly.
There’s been some shifts where I don’t cold approach a single customer because somebody I know walks in the door. It takes up some front effort to build rapport, but once set it makes for a low stress interaction.
Club #2 is faster paced. Dance prices are lower, and higher amounts of mileage is more common there. (Bouncers&management don’t monitor dances quite as much). And thanks to a recent Cubana invasion, many of them are also hot.
Many customers from club #1 who also go to club #2 will bring up how much more “sexually aggressive” dancers are there. I’ve been curious about club #2 so when the subject is broached, I ask questions.
Club #2 I wouldn’t mind clocking in the occasional shifts at. Mostly when I’m feeling homesick because the customer base remind me more of San Antonio. And the dancers more recently very Cubana which makes the club more like a style I know.
BUT at this point, idk if it’s worth going to club #2 in case I run into the same customers from #1. Just recently, I met someone at club #1 who claims he recognized me from club #2 way back last December. And got passively-aggressively pissy that I wanted to charge $40 for a dance (when it’s the standard at club #1). For reasons I won’t get into, that guy seemed like a douche anyways and I didn’t mind losing that sale.
But in general, I wonder whether I should completely drop the idea of ever going to club #2 anyways. Because customers may start being dissatisfied with higher prices in club #1 or me being less willing to sit and hang out in club #2. And start demanding both simultaneously at me. 😅 Or am I overthinking this and they will likely adjust just fine?
