    Default Too much alcohol (rant)

    The club really pissed me off last night. I had a customer come in and we went to VIP(skybox) right away- it costs $500 per hour and there is a $150 bar tab (which is 200$ on weekends) Oh, and the bar tab must be fufilled by a bottle- you can't just order cocktails. The catch is, of course nothing on the bottle menu costs just 150$ ( maybe 1 cheap bottle of champagne) so the customer is always going to go way over 150$.
    Fucked up right?

    My customer orders a bottle of grey goose at 325$. We finish the hour and they bring our bottle to the main floor, because of course we haven't even made a dent in the bottle. After a while we decide to go to the downstairs VIP which is $400 an hour and a $100 bar tab. Now you would think seeing that this customer just did an hour in the skybox (which when I was there didn't see anyone else in), went above and beyond the bar minimum, and wants to spend more-that they would waive that bartab. Nope. We walked in with more than half a bottle of vodka and they told the man he would have to spend 100$ on MORE DRINKS.
    Luckily he did!!
    BUT- that is insane, the club took over 500$$!!!! including tips, that could have gone to me. Then, he ends up getting too tipsy too quick and wanting to leave because of course he wanted to drink as much as he could after paying all that money. We seriously ordered 100$ worth of WATER. I'm just pissed, had he not spent so much on alcohol I know he wouldv'e stayed another hour maybe two.
    I'm so fed up.

    Plus that money could have gone to you instead! Those prices are insane. ::picks jaw up off the floor::

    The ATM machine at my club charges a $10 fee and -- get this! -- will only let you withdraw $100 at a time, so if a customer spends a lot of money he gets hit with the charge over and over again. Or he can by funny money, at a 10% surcharge to him and a 5% surcharge to me when I cash it in. Shit like this has to be one of the reasons the industry is in trouble. A healthy business model doesn't rape the customer at every turn. The jacked up prices on drinks, cover charges, funny money surcharges, ATM fees, and on and on, are based on the idea that men are so desperate to see our boobies that they will pay ANYTHING. That's kind of a naive notion, in the age of DVD's and the internet. Guys may prefer a real, live nekkid lady, but the only ones who will consistantly put up with these prices are the super rich and the super desperate.

    Well said, I couldn't agree more.

    I'm not sure what happened to customer appreciation from management, but I definitely agree that the lack of it is hurting our bottom line.
