I was talking about what a owner/manager pays a DJ in a bar. Not about such a bar where women will tip the DJ and you get to make extra money on top of what the bar is paying the DJ. I don't care how much money i could make in one of those types of bars. I won't be there because i don't go to such places period. There's nothing there for me. Personally i just can't see myself giving away my money and getting nothing in return other then maybe a lap dance getting me all excited and i can't do anything else unless i pay for it. You keep going to such places if you like.Macho Man:
Some of us have worked bars for many years. I especially like TT bars, because I can walk out with $300-500 in cash for a few hours work (the gals tip you a percentage of their earnings).
As has been mentioned elsewhere, you cannot rely on the owner to pay you anything but a minimum. You have to hustle, work the crowd, and take care of the gals.
Me i haven't been one of those places in years. That stuff doesn't excite me any more. It's boring to me. For me i got better things to do with my money then to give it away to someone i don't care nothing about and she doesn't care about me. One really good movie though was The Players Club.
Nothing wrong with it if that's what you like. It's just not for me. I can make me some money in other ways as a DJ.
