Followup to: "Working at a gentlemen's club????"  by Nwbrtndr  (Thu May 31. 2007, 11:20 UTC)
I worked at a gent's club but in Jersey, which is totally different than 
Manhattan.  The place I worked in was a hole in the wall & I made horrible 
money. The only way a bartender could make good money was by dong private 
dances and/or selling champagne which we got a commission of. I just found it 
so odd that bartenders also did dances.

In Manhattan, you're dealing with people who spend more money, so it should'nt 
be as bad. I heard at Scores for instance you have to pay to work there, just 
like the dancers do (but not as much)

As u said the potential is there to make the money, but you do have to put up 
with more sexual stuff as opposed to bartending at a restaurant.  Think about 
it: there's sex all over & ur the one who the customers have the most contact 
with for free - so it can get annoying & dirty.  But if ur comfortable with 
being overly flirtatious every night - then give it a shot.  I just got burnt 
out very quickly at the place I was at (customers were expected to tip the 
bartenders just as dancers in between their boobs), but you will prob. have a 
better experience in Manhattan at one of the nicer/bigger places: Scores, 
Penthouse Club, HQ, Hustler club.

Keep me updated on ur choice - I would love to hear how it turns out.
PS: as for the boyfriend let him know it doesn't matter what location u work 
in; you can easily get hit on or cheat on working in any other establishment - 
it's up to you as an individual
