Drunk strippers = Bad strippers.

Sorry guys, this post has nothing to do with Firefly/Joss Whedon/Serenity.

It's me ranting. About drunk strippers.

Seriously.

I work for 13 hours on Saturdays, from 9am to 10pm, it's a long day, especially today 'cause I was tired.

I work in a porn store/strip club/adult cinema. I'm the 2ic... aka... the weekend/night manager of sorts. Being a girl, I'm used to skeezy guys off the street who think they can ask me for all sorts of 'favours', (because I do nothing but sit there all day and dream about greasy men off the street... mmm hmmm. It's my life long fantasy come true), wanting to know what a 'girl like you is doing in a place like this' (because I'm a raving nymphomaniac and cannot stay away from the porn industry for ten minutes, dumbass, it certainly isn't because they... I don't know.. PAY ME MONEY or anything).

What I did not need was the stripper drinking herself into a hysterical mental effing breakdown and locking herself in the peep room and hijacking the intercom so that she can call the customers all sorts of choice obscenities (Think f***ing crinkled runts, without all those pesky middle letters) before I can override it. So then we had to get her boyfriend in to try and talk her out of the room.

All in the last hour before close. Which meant I couldn't get in the peep room to empty the money, which meant I couldn't count the money, which meant I couldn't make up the girls' pays, which meant I couldn't enter in any of the End Of Day data into the computer, which meant I couldn't do the End Of Day paperwork, which meant I couldn't CLOSE THE SHOP.

I wasn't in the mood for extra work, because I DON'T GET OVERTIME, dammit, and I'd been there all FREAKING DAY.

Am I insensitive for being peeved at this? Should I be more understanding, or am I right in thinking "don't bring alcohol to your workplace" even if you are a stripper?
