EG - have you seen the Bridezilla where the girl, Stephanie, from Tennessee goes to a gay club and ruins a drag night? She ended up assaulting one of the performers onstage after she stripped off her clothes. The performer pushed her back and she fell hard. It was one of the best TV moments I've ever seen.

IIRC The Lodge (& "classy" clubs like it) didn't even have a pole on the main stage. Maybe the side stages? Not everyone does pole tricks. I never did because if the club isn't providing insurance, I'm not going to risk injuring myself. Wasn't worth it and it didn't affect my money at all. That being said I managed…

You're Emma Emma. Oh, duh! Thanks for writing what you did. That was great.

The Rick's in Houston (the original I believe) is not very nice. It's out by the airport and I've heard some awful stories about that place.

I noticed it too. I started dancing in 2000 and it was far less common. It happened more and more as time went by. I retired in 2006 but started again briefly 2012-2013 and it was far more prevalent.

Not the norm, but every club has some ruthless people who will try to take advantage. Like girls who just start dancing without asking when they know there is a tab with multiple people on it. Or quote more dances than they actually did. I tried to treat people fairly and not take advantage. It was one of those…

HAHAHA. Fuck you, pay me!

This is how I explained it to people:

LOL. Spoken like a true vet!I forgot about all the judgment and shit talking from some of the custies.

That was really nice of you and a nice unexpected tip I'm sure!

I worked at the Lodge very briefly. I got paired up with an ice cold hustler chick in the VIP my 2nd night. Her whole plan was to strong arm these two drunk dudes out of $1000 each. At the end of the night there was a big fuss and the manager got involved. In the end we got the money but the manager was really mad…

I remember that episode and thought Kathy Hilton was such a jerk. I wonder if part of this stems from Kim and Kyle being on RHOBH.

THIS.

And at the bottom of each rancid jizzbucket sauce container is a melted My Little Pony.

Think of all the parts you are consuming! Breasts, lips, and assholes. YUMMO.

You just reminded me of how much I hate the phrase "mouth feel". Ugh. Gives me the heeby jeebees.

Was it the All U Can Eat Lobster Fest? I was told this was a way to get my meal comped once, but I never tried it.

That would piss me off. My boyfriend held up a dinner at his mom's once because he doesn't eat steak or chicken. We waited to eat so he could get his hotdogs with all the fixings prepared. I told him he was a PITA and needed to start eating like an adult.

Bless their hearts.

This is much like the same rule that I had at an IT Helpdesk at a corporation. If you were an asshole, I would do the BARE MINIMUM to help you. You are not getting the gold standard of troubleshooting and the benefit of my intuition and helpful attitude. You are going to have to go down a list of 50 "Try this first"…
