"It would be the best job," she said of exotic dancing. "People would have more respect for it."

Earth to stripper, earth to stripper, "Go ask Wall Street Bankers if earning more money equates to more respect!"

Ladies, I hear pole dancing is a good workout. Don't knock it.

she could earn as much as $1,200 a night stripping

1,200 a night is a six digit a year income. Unless she only works weekends. That's still in $50K range. And I'll bet she grossly under reports her income on taxes.

Next week she'll complain they don't get vacation time, sick leave, and insurance benefits.

Let's just fix it now. Get paid minimum wage, full benefits, all tips go to the house.

She, of course, paid taxes on this $1,200 a night she was making.

Quansa Thompson said she could earn as much as $1,200 a night stripping ...

They provide a venue where she makes that much, and she wants an extra $5.75 an hour??? This is one greedy and ungrateful stripper. What is wrong with honoring the contract she agreed to in order to obtain that $1,200 a night, as if she had integrity? And, no, I wouldn't respect her any more if she made minimum wage on top of her tips.

Im betting that her lawyer smelled a really bad case, but took it anyway so long as she paid in either cash or trade.

from article: “”It would be the best job,”

Let’s see.....

$20 for showing up.
$1200/night. Much of it never recorded income.
AND at least minimum wage .

Yep. That would be pretty darn good. Maybe she should start her own ‘strip club’, if it’s that good of an idea.

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m wondering if she reports her 1200 nightly tips.

"It would be the best job," she said of exotic dancing. "People would have more respect for it."

at $1,200 a night, she should already see it as the best job for her (if she really does think that)... if she wants respect, then she needs to choose another line of work... she's wack...

[antiRepublicrat]

I think she’s not realizing the arrangement. She’s lucky she doesn’t have to pay the club owner for the venue in which she can make money directly for clients. The $20 only technically makes her an employee, but she’s really a freelancer.

If she’s an employee then she can earn her minimum wage, but at her level of tips the minimum wage could be $0 depending on the state. And maybe the employer should ask her to tip out, sharing her tips with the rest of the staff.

Of maybe she should just keep dancing for $1,200 a night.
