Those fines included: $100 dollar fine for being late, $75 if caught intoxicated, $250 for not showing up, $50 fine for hanging around the changing rooms for an "unacceptable" amount of time and a $200 fine plus 50 per cent of tips for rudeness to customers or management.
West says she's worked at every club in Auckland, except the White House Adult Entertainment Centre on Queen St.
She says she'd never work there, alleging far stricter rules in force than elsewhere for strippers.
West says the rules at Calendar Girls - where she last worked at four years ago - are "pretty much the same" as at the other clubs.
She was surprised about the public's reaction to the fines, saying they're not new to anyone in the industry.
"I think this is just normalised to us that we kind of forget that other people still find that industry exciting and different. 'Cause to us it's just everyday."
West says some of the rules are fair and some of them aren't.
"Things like not having your cell phone or being on stage on time, showing up to work ... That's all consideration I understand, to make any club work."
The Herald has contacted all strip clubs mentioned for comment but only Calendar Girls has so far replied.
A spokesperson for the club defended the fines, saying that on average across the country, only one stripper was fined $100 a week.
