General
tip out
What does tip out mean?
End-of-night tax on a dancer's earnings, distributed to the DJ, bouncers, house mom and sometimes the bar. Often mandatory and often a percentage, which means a big night gets eaten harder than a slow one. Stack this on top of the house fee and you see why dancer pay maths is brutal.
"After tip-out the DJ was the highest-earning person in the building and he played the same six songs all night."
