You are lucky you have an ATM machine in your club! At Treasures in Houston there is NO ATM machine in there! You have to go to the gas station on the corner to get cash out!!! I have never in my life heard of a strip club not having an ATM machine!!! WTF!
However, you can run a tab as high as you like. The problem is, and I'm growing very frustrated with this, is that to run a tab the waitress holds the customer's credit card and ID until he wants to close it out. Then she has to have the customer sign all this sh*t, then she leaves to have the credit card ran, then she comes back with the slip for him to sign, then she leaves again to have the manager sign off on it, then she finally comes back with the person's credit card and ID.
Imagine how long this whole process takes, when the servers are busy and they have customers all over the club and every other server is also waiting for the bartender to run credit cards!!! People get so mad that when they are ready to leave they can't leave...it's puts people off from coming back (and in Houston it's all about regulars)...also, I have lost money on several occassions where it came time to add a tip and by that point they were so pissed that they don't add one at all. Also I have lost money because I have ran into customers on the way out the door who want me to dance for them but they already closed out their tab and it took so long they don't want to go through the whole thing again.
Also, the servers are so busy and backed up from running back and forth and waiting at the bar that they will actually turn down customers that are paying with credit cards!!! Imagine wanting to open a tab and being refused! And then you have to go outside the club (in the rain or heat) to get cash off your card!!!
When a club's systems for payment are screwed up we all lose money.
