How much do the fat guys walking around the strip club make?
 

In Indianapolis it is standard protocol to have 8 fat men with white shirts sloppily tucked in running around the strip club. They do things like take the money at the door, walk around the floor looking around, interrupt lap dances to remind you that feeling on boobs is against the rules, make sure no one gets head in the champagne room, etc. How much do these fat guys get paid? It seems like it has to be an awfully depressing experience. Dreadful hours, endless smoke, and lots of dumb people (customers and coworkers). Sadly, they probably get paid pretty poorly too.

pretty shitty hourly... but the girls tip the bouncers

It depends on the club but its generally not very much.

I'm pretty sure they dont make that much, they are annoying too. Btw.

someone has to keep people in line, just like a club needs security, granted 99% of people are normal and act right the few that dont can fuck lots of shit up

the pay is a joke but people take those jobs because it gives them some good feeling of being able to have authority on others even over minor things

avg club security makes 120 a night in NYC hours 9pm - 4AM

None of your fucking business. And hands off the pussy.

Not much.

:2 cents:

It has to be a bad wage for sure

Which ones you talking about, im from the area aswell :)

Only one ive ever been to is Dancers :1orglaugh

i know of one security person who works at a strip club who makes a lot of money as the owner of an escort agency.

wait.. I'm not supposed to get head in the champagne room?

:helpme

Never been to a club that has fat guys walking around, just guys who look like this.

not much. they do it on the off chance they might get laid.

If memory serves... Dancers has fewer of these fat guys despite having more customers than most of the strip clubs in Indianapolis. I think PT's and Red Garter has the most of these guys but I didn't have anyone in mind.

quite a lot

I don't think so, there're so many strange people here on earth... hehehe

theres more in drugs at those places than dollar bills...

Not much? Times must have changed. My brother bounced when he was in college and was making $500 a night. Unless you all are thinking $500 a night isnt much.

i worked the door at a club when they had a shooting in the parking lot i was done

bullshit story and a "my brother" "my friend" story was very much expected in this thread, but the top companies in this business such as knight security and others pay 120-180 a night max, regular security in clubs rarely get tips, the doorman does get tips and the guy or guys working beside him get some too.

He might be from a much larger city/much busier club but I wasn't looking for Vegas rates.

no such thing as base pay 500 a night dont care if you work 40/40 mansion or penthouse

I ran porn stores, strip clubs, and a big mainstream club, and we generally paid the bouncers between $7-$10 an hour. At the Deja Vu we owned in Port Huron, MI. the bouncer got $7 an hour and the girls did tip him out, but that was a small club and he went out of his way for them. At most clubs the girls are required to only tip out the DJ's, and most don't even do that. I can't tell you how many times I saw a girl have a big night, and the DJ got maybe $5 from her, and the bouncer nothing. Dancers do not like to tip out.

At the mainstream club in Memphis we paid the bouncers $10 per hour, and the head of security was on a salary. He did ok for himself, but by no means was he rich from bouncing.

I do wonder what Vegas guys are making at the mainstream clubs, though. I always used to tip the doorman to get past the line, and if the line was big you would usually have to give them $20 a person or more that you were taking in, and that was before paying the cover. I can also remember when Rain first opened in the Palms, I had a group that rented one of those VIP booths with the waterbed seats, and the security guy was awesome. He came around a bunch of times to check on us, and even offered to round up some girls to bring over for some of the guys in the group. At the end of the night we tipped him $100. That probably is out of the norm, but I'm sure it happens more than we think...

who said anything about base pay? his brother could have easily been selling coke or stealing the cover charge on a bunch of people.

Like I said doorman is a different story and most clubs today the large ones will fire a door guy the moment they know he took money to let someone in, (at least in NYC or LA) the doorman is suppose to push you to buy bottles or to push you away if he detects trouble and obviously make good judgments on who to let in, they decide based on looks, the girl or girls you are with etc.

The guys standing next to the door guy, just the muscle should someone start shit outside sometimes get tips, these guys have little say on who gets in and who dont.

Floor security almost never gets tips.

A good documentary on club security is a movie called "bounce behind the velvet rope" played on showtime and also avilable on DVD, the lead guy in that movie was killed a few years ago by one of the bouncers he had working for him.

Yeah when I bounced at tittie bars. I made 50 to 80 bucks a night. It was part time work and it was easy. When I worked in tittie bars from 82 to 94 very little bullshit happened. I found when I worked in regular night clubs alot more bullshit happened you really earned your money. When I was single I always worked two jobs. It gave me something to do and would rather make money than spend money.

With the exception of a couple incidents, we never really had problems at our strip clubs. The mainstream club in Memphis was geared towards an older, more affluent clientele, but we had to add different types of nights to bring in customers every night of the week, and the only time we had problems was on hip hop night, which we eventually had to discontinue. Memphis is full of clubs that had a very robust business, ending up having a few shootings at hip hop night, and then became ghost towns. We didn't want that to happen so we canned them.

The problems were always the porn stores. Most of them were located in shitty areas next to low income housing projects, and on top of the customers you always had to deal with prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, and the homeless from the projects. We ended up having to have 24 hour armed security at most of our stores so the customers, and employees, would feel safe. One day when I finish writing my book I have no doubt it will be a best seller due to some of the crazy shit I have seen over the years...

Bouncers got part of the tips.

I had a friend who bounced at a club here that had female and male strippers at the same time. He used to say the female customers gave him more problems than the guys. lol

I'll bet they dont make shit. In fact, they more then likely get their money off the girls and not the club owner.
Also, they probobly got that job by being the club owners friend.

When I worked in NY the club owner paid me I got nothing from the girls. Now here in atl its tip out. The clubs I worked at were like cheers with tits regular bars 4 to 6 girls a night worked. But here in atl they got 30 to I heard sometimes up to 70 girls on a shift. So if you are getting 3-4 bucks a head not bad for a nights work.

Here in Ohio at the local club, the owner Nick has all his childhood buddies (the goonies, i like to call them) working as bouncers. Its a bad business model. They chase off the customers they dont know, and try to keep the place a hangout for all their friends. They were cool with us until they found out what we do, now when anyone of us goes in we get the mean looks from all the "bouncers" but unless we strike up a conversation with any of the girls they leave us alone. Any time we do have a conversation with any of the girls that goes over 2 minutes, their all over it, yelling at her to either make a buck right now, or move on.

Did the fat guy touch you inappropriately? Show us on the doll where he touched you.
