What does house fee mean?
Pay-to-play: dancers are typically classed as independent contractors and have to hand the club a set amount — often $50 to $200 — before they've earned a dollar. Scales with the shift (Friday night costs more than Tuesday afternoon). The reason a slow night can end with a dancer leaving in the red.
"$150 house fee, $80 in tip-outs and three slow hours later, she'd worked all night to lose forty bucks."
