So on my last night I pulled rank on a baby stripper and told her to stop stuff. I've never actually done that before. I've never, unsolicited, been sitting in the dressing room and been like 'You know what...' But I did. She's having a rough go of this job. She's really cute but she is just not getting the hang of it and she drinks a ton. Some girls can work while they're drunk but this girl cannot. Anyway, she starts out innocently enough saying 'It's hard to not feel, like, personally, you know, like when a guy tells you he's waiting to get a dance and then like thirty seconds later he goes and gets a dance with another girl?" I jumped in to say that she needs to consider if those girls are similar to him. Like, if the woman who gets a dance looks nothing like her and hustles nothing like her then she can't take it personally. It's just a matter of taste and you can't change taste. "Yeah but what do those girls have that I don't?" "You can't think of it like that." "Like what are they doing that I'm not doing? Oh, right, I don't give blowjobs." She does this a lot and maybe it's because it's my last night and I don't give a fuck but I calmly set my cell phone down and turn to her. "(name), you have not been here nearly long enough to through the blowjob word around." "Oh, no, it's just that--" "No. You need to stop doing that. You don't know that. You don't have proof. You're just saying it." "No but I hear things, you know. Day shift, night shift--" "I don't care what you've heard. You do not throw other dancers under the bus like that and make accusations based on nothing. Especially when you've been here for so short a time. You need to stop saying things like that." And she got uncomfortable and left before I could tell her that she can't take her own insecurities out on others. You can't just shout about blowjobs and handjobs in the dressing room when you've been a dancer for less than six months. But it felt good to actually play older wiser dancer. I've never really felt like I had the right but I danced for nearly 3 years, I'd been at that club a year and a half. I'm good at my job. So yeah, I certainly know more than this girl and I hope she listened and changes how she's acting before someone else really gets on her case about this habit.
