I cried like a baby on the way home after 'paying' £70 to work a shift – I wanted to quit on the spot | The Sun

A STRIPPER told how she considered quitting for good after she lost £70 in a night.

The Glasgow-based dancer revealed it is standard across the industry for girls to pay to work.


Recently she forked out a £90 house fee but during a very long shift she only took in £20.

She admitted that she sobbed on the way home and thought about packing the job in forever.

The dancer, known as Rainworldwithurgirl, said: “I never lost money to the club like that before.

“It was a huge ego shaker and I cried like a baby on the way home.

“Like any job you can have good days and bad. You have very high highs and low lows.”

The stripper, who’s in her 20s, started pole dancing as a way to perform and keep fit as a student.

After graduating she thought it would be the perfect career for her, and an empowering way to make cash.

But she’s discovered that now that she’s on the inside and working long night shifts it’s a bit different.

On amazing nights girls can make as much as £2,000 and on the worst can walk away with nothing.

She revealed: “I like to dance. I see myself as a performer and enjoy being naked so I thought I could make money having fun and being at a party.

“I thought people would pay me to be pretty. But there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s different from how I thought it would be. It’s a job – it’s work.

“If you want to make money you have to think about your sales skills and stuff like that.”

Rainworld’s ego-crushing loss came when she decided to try out dancing at a club in London last month.

After getting paid by a customer early on in the night she was then left sitting about playing games on her phone until 5am.

She said: “That was very hard to deal with. It was awful.

“A girl I hardly knew told me I had to go back the next night. She said that was the only way I would get over it. She was right."

The stripper reluctantly clocked on again for another shift and made £226, which convinced her not to give up.

She’s on a mission to shine a light on her job and get across the realities of what it’s like being a stripper.

Rainworld revealed her worst nightmare is men forking out to get into the venue and then refusing to give the girls anything.

She said: “That’s incredibly frustrating. They paid money to get into the club. They’ll buy a drink and spend another £5 to £10.

“But they won’t even tip the dancers £5.

“I think a lot of people are surprised when they’re told that the club doesn’t pay us.”

Rainworld told how she sometimes has to deal with trolls who slate her looks, and tell her they hate her glasses.

But for the time being she’s making the most of her job and has no plans to quit any time soon.

She said: “I love it. It can be so much fun.
