A comfortable, stage-centric club with a courtyard

I auditioned here last Monday afternoon and was hired. I've worked three day shifts since then and am learning the ropes. Working in a corporate chain is new to me. Here are my experiences.

First, the club decor feels like it's having an identity crisis. It has one foot in the upscale gentlemen's club world and one foot in the strip club dive world. On the gentlemen's club side: male staffers wearing button-up shirts and vests, crystal chandeliers, courtyard with a fire pit, spacious locker room with showers and a tanning booth. On the dive side: Christmas lights over the bar, torn-up couches in the VIP rooms, creepy graffiti murals in the dark stairwell. However, the club is clean and the furniture in the main seating area is plush and in good condition. There are a lot of signs everywhere about sex trafficking--probably some corporate mandate.

As for the girls: they're the best pole dancers I've ever seen at any club. Almost EVERY SINGLE GIRL has mad pole skillz, and that's day shift. I can just imagine the human pyrotechnics during night shift. The only girl who isn't great at pole almost didn't get hired because her stage performance "wasn't ready"--or so I heard a manager say. She got a job anyway, probably because she's a super cute spinner blonde.
