00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:03.919
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.080
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:11.039
So I found out the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.679
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.480
Welcome to the meat market.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.679
The single scene is the slaughterhouse, and we are here to devour it.
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.399
We are your hosts.
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.120
I'm Lindsay.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:21.600
I'm Jess.
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.760
And today's sizzling single is Faith.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.320
Welcome! We got a bottle girl in the house.
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:26.640
Hello.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.320
Everyone's from Scottsdale.
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:29.440
So tell us.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.039
I bet you have some crazy stories to spill about the Old Town Scottsdale club scene.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.679
It is one for the books.
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.320
We're very close to competition with Vegas, I would say.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:49.920
Um, as far as the type of partying, the pricing, and our clientele that we bring in, and also the wild dating scene.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.960
I hear you ladies.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.399
You people, Scottsdale people are wild.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:52.880
Wild wild.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:53.759
We are wild.
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:54.479
We are wild.
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:55.920
We know how to hustle.
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.439
And being a bottle girl, I would say is it's tough.
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.079
It's not the most perfect industry.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.680
Um, but we definitely have, I would say, the most fun in it.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.760
We make the world, we make it worthwhile worthwhile if I can even talk from that.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.719
Um, it's fun, it's wild.
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:22.400
Um, it's it's changed a lot of my perspective of one dating to the hustle.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.200
And, you know, nobody knows how to hustle like a bottle girl, let alone a bartender.
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:34.400
I mean, like in Old Town, it's very, you're dealing with some high clientele and you're dealing with some, you know, intoxicated people.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.840
And do you ever have clients hitting on you?
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.480
I do.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:39.680
I bet you do all the time.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:40.079
I do.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.120
How do you handle that?
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:55.040
Um, you know, I I think one, they look at me as at first, especially being a bottle girl, I'm I'm greeting them and I'm most of my clientele, I would say, is like bachelor and bachelorette groups.
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:02.719
So they're already a little intimidated, intimidated with me at the beginning because I'm tattooed and I'm a little bit of a tough cookie.
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.959
Like I'm really nice once you get to know me.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.639
Um, but I I let them know, you know, I'm here to make sure that they have a good time.
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.639
And they get a little touchy, but I think it's all about just your your energy and your vibe.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.680
And would you ever date a client or customer?
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.039
Uh I don't think so.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.240
You've never you never have?
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:24.639
Uh-uh.
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.840
You've never gone home with one?
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.240
Nope.
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.280
Never gone home with one.
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:28.960
I'm one of the few.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:29.520
I'm one of the things that you're doing.
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.520
I am one of the few.
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:32.639
So a lot do?
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:34.479
I would say a lot do.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.439
You know, they like to they like to make their money, but um, and that's great, and I'll make your money, girls.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:48.479
But I think more so, I think when you say make your money, you mean the guys pay them to go home with them?
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.080
I would say most of them do.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.639
What?
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.800
If they want them to come back the next day, they do what they can.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:02.159
And that's not that's not everybody that does that, but there is a fine line of people that will do that to make that sell for a table.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:12.159
Whether for whether they go home with them and sleep with them, or they just go home with or go to their Airbnb, hang out with them, and then they eventually leave.
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.840
I don't know exactly, I don't I can't vouch for everybody and what they do.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.719
Um, but do you have a lot of repeat customers that come back just to see you?
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.159
Yeah, yeah, I do.
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.120
Especially like being in it for as long as I have.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.199
Um, like I love it.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.360
I make sure that they have a good time and you know, I'm really respectful with them.
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:42.240
And, you know, there's been a few times of people grabbing me, but I let them know, like, I have really good security that they'll let them know that if they do it again, like it's they're out.
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:47.919
And obviously they don't want to lose, you know, three to ten, twenty grand because they still have to pay it.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.879
What they sign for at the at the door is what they have to pay.
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.560
So, um, but yeah, I have I have good security.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:03.439
It it's all with my security, and I'm one of those like most people won't say anything if there's an uncomfortable uncomfortable like position that you're in.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.840
They'll just kind of like laugh and like let it happen.
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.479
I don't know.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.840
I'm not you're gonna let you're gonna learn that that's not okay.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.079
So now I know you have difficult hours, you're up sometimes till 4 or 5 a.m.
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.639
Do you date in the same industry with people that have the same schedule as you?
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.360
How does that work?
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.439
I have once upon a time, and that was when I lived in Austin.
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.800
Um it was very toxic, it wasn't good.
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:39.519
And I think that for me, I learned my lesson on not dating within the same industry because there's a lot of being a bottle girl, it's it's a little bit harder.
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.439
And it was, I was dating a manager of the same company, but at a different bar.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.079
So they were like they worked down below, but they were able to come up and like see, and me being friendly, like I'm I'm really nice.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.199
So me being friendly and having a good time with them.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.399
It wasn't like me, you know, my arms around them.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.000
It was just like me laughing, and he didn't like that.
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.399
And so there was a little bit of a jealousy, which happens, you know.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.680
I don't know.
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.959
Men, men get jealous, girls get jealous, it is what it is.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:18.800
But um it has got to be tough to date someone in that industry because you kind of have to be flirty, you know, because you guys rely on tips and you know, constantly coming back.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:26.079
And like you're wanting to like run the tab up a little bit because it's like they do sign at the door, but they can also order more as they're there.
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.600
I mean, our whole point is to is to double their minimum, right?
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:30.319
Exactly.
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.000
Make them have a good time, and you know, people will spend more if they have a great time.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.319
If they're not really having the time, then they're gonna kind of like cut it where um where they signed at.
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.480
Well, and you wouldn't think a manager would understand that.
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.600
You wouldn't think.
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.120
You would think, but I think it's different when you're dating them.
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.319
And then obviously the jealousy comes into place, and then you know.
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.199
But so let's say you date outside of that industry.
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.920
Let's say you're dating a lawyer who has Monday through Friday, nine to five.
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:00.480
Isn't that tough?
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.480
Because then you're working weekends, yeah.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.439
You you know, you're you sleep during the day, you're up.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.279
Like, isn't that kind of tough for the schedules?
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.120
Yeah, it's it's wild.
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.519
I dated somebody that was long distance.
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:23.600
So FaceTime was our best friend, but also it was the most unhealthiest because when I had time on my own, it was we were always on FaceTime when we would be going to bed.
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:36.480
It would be, I had a tripod, and it was like one of those where it was like we just weren't in a secure place where I would fall asleep with him on FaceTime, and then he would do the same thing, and it was like, What are you doing?
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.360
Where are you at?
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:57.040
Constantly questioning me when I'm like, I should be questioning you because you know, there was a couple of situations that obviously I caught him on, so um, social media, and there actually is an app that tracks their likes on Instagram, so it got to that point.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.160
So I was my own investigator, and I watched a lot of crime shows.
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:19.759
I yes, so I became my own investigator, and I he never knew, but I was tracking his Instagram and I knew I couldn't see like who he messaged, I couldn't see like what he messaged on people's pictures, but Instagram and social media.
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.439
What is the app called?
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:26.079
Um, I don't even have my phone on me.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.439
Um I can Google it.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.079
Is it something that you put on your phone, or do you have to log into his account?
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.600
So it's it's pretty wild.
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:42.560
So I it's it's not an app, it's like through like Google or whatever.
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.879
But you like if you looked it up, it's right there.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:08:00.560
I learned that from one of my homegirls as a bottle girl that was helping her friend track and figure out that her man was cheating on her based on, you know, I believe if you're in a relationship, like I never, I'm not the type like if I'm committed, I'm committed.
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.879
And I've always been committed in every relationship.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:14.720
So if I see that you're liking other girls' pictures, and then I'm having to question you on why you're not liking mine, and it's taken you forever, like that's just where that's kind of where it was getting at.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.720
So I had put in it's it was his Instagram.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:25.279
So I just put in his Instagram name, it popped up his picture, how many like who we unfollowed, who we followed.
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.160
Oh my god.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:26.879
Oh yeah.
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.800
I got you can see all of that.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:29.439
Oh yeah.
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.919
I was so Was there like a specific girl that he kept liking and commenting?
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:41.600
Um, there was one when I lived over in LA, there was one that had followed me from here because he had lived here.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:53.039
And there was one that he had worked with who had followed me pretty quickly, and then he would talk about her a little bit, and she would try, she would like my photos, whatever.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.000
And I just started getting like a weird vibe.
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:05.279
Like he, if you're talking about this girl a lot, and then you're talking about her ex-boyfriend and like how you were friends with him, and then she got cheated.
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.159
It was just like if you're talking about her so much, like what's so special about that person?
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.080
And so that's kind of what made me.
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.919
I had already, I just got like a girl's instinct is a girl's instinct.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.840
You're just our gut is always right.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.120
I swear by it, it is always right.
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.799
And so how did you find out he was he physically cheating?
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.399
Messages don't lie.
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.960
I don't care if you're it's pictures, I don't care if you're texting.
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.279
If you're giving the energy to somebody else, then you are no longer for me and you don't have the best interest in me.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.000
Agreed.
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:50.559
And so I had moved to LA and I caught him on his Apple Watch, who it was unlocked, never knew his password, and confronted him.
00:09:51.200 --> 00:10:03.840
And he pretty much said I was invading his privacy, and that because I didn't have the financial income to support like the rent and stuff like that.
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.279
You know, I was freshly new to LA.
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.519
LA, if anybody's been to LA and lived there, it's absolutely crazy.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.240
I lived in Hollywood, which is like the worst of the worst.
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.000
You're dealing with like I'm from Portland.
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.840
I can hang with homeless all day.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.960
I can hang with the druggies, like, cool, I'll dap you up, like I'll say hi, I'll be kind.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.840
But over there, you're also applying with like 600 other people that need work too.
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.600
So it was it was just hard.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.200
I had no connections over there.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.360
Here, I have connections up the yin-yang.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.679
Like, if I needed a bar job, if I needed, you know, something outside of the bar industry, I'm well connected over here.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:47.519
And that was my problem over there was I had nobody but my significant other at the time who, you know, I thought had my best interest.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.159
And so then he pretty much said, you know, you were gonna get kicked out anyways, and was saying all these things.
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.200
And yeah.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:08.000
So I had one of my clients here who had my best interest and helped me get the frick out of that place and paid for my U-Haul, picked it up in Compton.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:15.120
And me and my gay best friend, we just, I mean, I had my out, it was a huge U-haul.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.240
It was like a 16-foot because hauling a car, you can't have a smaller one because of the trailer.
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.840
So I'm going through these.
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.960
I mean, in LA, driving is just already nuts.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:32.960
You're dealing with traffic, you're dealing with crazy drivers that do not put, do not put their blinkers on, do not stop at a stop sign.
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.960
I mean, I got my Audi wrecked.
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.840
I had an Audi A7, beautiful car, got it wrecked from somebody that didn't stop at a stop sign.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.200
Oh yeah.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.480
So I was just already going through the thick of it out there.
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.320
And what a nightmare.
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.000
And it was just, it was sickening.
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:55.919
I wasn't, I became like, I was after I look back at pictures, I'm like, wow, that like one, I could just tell that I was not happy.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.799
Two, I was losing a tremendous amount of weight.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.360
I wasn't eating because I'm I'm a stress, I'm a like if I get stressed, I don't eat.
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.480
My dad's the same way.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:18.879
Like, if it really gets to us, like we're just we get a little not I'm not a depressive person, but during that moment where you feel like so low and so helpless, and you're away from your friends, your family, and you really get to learn who your friends are and who they aren't.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:29.279
Because I left here and I went to LA, and half the people that I thought were for me and were my friends were only the ones that were partying with me at my big spenders' tables.
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.399
And it's like, damn, where were you during that time?
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.000
You know, you never you never checked on me, you never did any of that.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:43.519
So I came back here with a whole different perspective and found out that the people that I thought were for me weren't.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:55.519
And so do you think that part of that is because people maybe people in general and guys especially don't take you and not you, I don't mean like you as a person, you, I mean you as a bottle girl.
00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:08.559
So bottle girls in general don't take them seriously because they consider them to be uh, I don't know, ditzy or you know, like, oh, you can't do anything other than uh serve a table.
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:09.440
You know what I mean?
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:14.480
Like, do you feel like maybe uh people have preconceived notions?
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:20.960
I think I've been always very independent, and maybe, you know, not all men like that.
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.600
They want us to be like, oh my God, we need you.
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:30.720
Like, I've been on my own since I was 16 doing, you know, working, hustling, taking care of, I came from single parents.
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.279
So I didn't grow up with the most amount of money or being, I was taking care of them.
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.759
I was taking care of my mom, my little sister.
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:44.080
And so from them, like from me learning from that, I became very independent.
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:53.279
And I think that not only I think not only being independent, but also being a bottle girl, that was another thing, is like, oh, you're just a bottle girl.
00:13:53.600 --> 00:14:00.480
Well, you try and be in my shoes and you try and like I work at a very the only pool club during summertime.
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.600
We have third we have over 30 tables, and each of us have about four or five tables.
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.000
I've never had that mentality, you're only a bottle girl because they seem like they work really hard.
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:11.039
Yeah, like they they work.
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:24.399
And I've been in it 10 years, and it's not saying that like, yeah, some people can get stuck in it, and maybe a little bit I held on because of the money, but also the people that I'm with, like my runners, my my bar backs, my bartenders.
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.879
I started off bartending and I loved it.
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.879
You know, I I loved the energy.
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.919
I'm a people person.
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.120
I've never been the type that's wanting to sit at a desk.
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.399
I have really bad ADHD, so I'm like, I can't do that.
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.279
I get bored.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.759
I've try and do in the medical field, it doesn't work.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.320
I don't, I'm not the type that's gonna sit at a desk.
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.480
Like I'm a go-getter, I'm a hustler.
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.679
And a lot of people, yeah, don't take our jobs seriously.
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:56.320
And I think guys, especially like guys that are trying to date you, yeah, especially because they have this like ego, like you know what I mean?
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.240
Like you are just a bottle girl, you know.
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.480
And you're also getting flirted with 247.
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.440
Exactly.
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:06.799
But it's also like you can't think that we're also the ones to flirt back, you know.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:11.919
We do our jobs, and I can't vouch for any for everybody, but I can only vouch for myself.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.000
Like, I take my job very seriously.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:19.679
I love who I serve, I I make sure that they have a great time, and then they always come back.
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:24.960
Like, it's not, it's not for like the flirtation or any of that.
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:34.799
It's I love what I do, and I've like I've had the best times, I've had some hard times, but I've had, you know, without that, I've learned so many.
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.080
I've grown up a lot.
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.720
I've learned like, oh, I don't want to be like that.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.679
And I also don't want to drink and do all the crazy shit that I see all the time.
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:55.519
Because, you know, I do have there are horror stories of people like bachelor groups and bachelorette groups, and then they meet, and then you know, the bride and the groom, like there are those stories.
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.159
I haven't seen that, but I haven't had a table.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.600
Like, I'm I am that bottle girl that's like, hey, be smart, like, don't don't be dumb.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.799
Have you seen any crazy shit happen at the club?
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.120
Oh yeah.
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.840
Like fights, like lots of fights.
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.240
So there has been, I mean, back when we had right now, we're kind of in a weird time.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.440
People aren't spending as much, you know, everything's expensive.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:32.559
So back in the day, I would say like three years ago, there would be a tremendous amount of fights, especially at the pool bar that I or the pool club that I work at.
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.360
Um, it would be like 30 people deep.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:36.720
And our security, yeah.
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:46.240
And our security guards are like trying, you know, because being a security guard, you can't like your job is to be a security guard, not to hit back or anything like that.
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.840
But if you're getting punched at too, like it would be a whole brawl.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:55.279
And that's one thing that we just had to kind of cut out some of those security guards.
00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:07.680
It had nothing to do fully with them, but I think like also, you know, the adrenaline's going, and we all, you know, guys like to be guys, and some girls like to go into it too.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.480
But you know, we all like to think that we're tough and stuff until you get swung at and hit.
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:30.319
And, you know, let's say, you know, it's happened where certain people are drinking, and then like you're at liability, and when the cops come in to talk to you and you got alcohol in your breath, and you're also working at a club, like it's it's not really the best luck, and you're legally not supposed to be drinking.
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.079
Do a lot of people drink while working?
