Even with strip clubs -- many strip clubs often employ more men as cocktail servers.
As far as being treated like a piece of meat, well, that's inevitable. It's just a matter of doing your job...take their order, bring their drinks, take their cash (if they don't start tabs), thank them, and if they talk shit, let em. Just smile and walk away.
Are you an experienced waitress? How busy does this club get? I ask because if it's a busy night, you'll be tapped left and right for service, and it can be difficult to carry a full tray of bottles and drinks, take their money/give their change, and clear off any empties.
The tips are great, but sometimes you'll have those shitty nights where the tips just aren't worth it.
And that's why I retired.

Hey OTW....
In response to your questions, this club gets pretty filled up especially on the weekend...on the weekdays, Tuesday for example, on industry night, it was full but not packed.
I found out that the waitresses work 8 hours....830-5am. Door hours are lighter, and they are especially interested in hiring women. Because I have no experience in waitressing, I would think that door might be the more ideal job.
As to dress code... I am a huge girly girl, so I love the idea of wearing cute tops, minis and heels. This club definitely seeks to have a certain image...so I'm pretty sure there are certain expectations of staff, but it seems reasonable.
As to whether to apply...I'm really debating whether to pursue it now, and work two nights a week then really pick up after school slows down for winter break. Basically, I always thought this would be a good summer job, but the extra money now would mean a new car, which is motivating me to possibly pursue this sooner rather than as late as next year.
