I ::heart:: credit cards. People who use them spend more freely than those who pay cash. Cash = budget. Credit = no limit. Why not reward the credit card payers?
In my club, the credit card payers pay a whole lot more for the same products and services than their cash paying counterparts. Let's use a VIP hour w/$20 in drinks for an example.
If a customer pays cash, this is how it goes:
$400 dancer fee
$60 room fee
$20 to bouncer
$20 drinks
$5 tip to waitress
--------
$505 total
If a customer pays credit, this is usually how it goes:
$480 dancer fee (w/surcharge)
$50 tip to funny money girl
$25 tip to bouncer (w/surcharge)
$60 room fee
$20 drinks
$130 tip to waitress*
-------
$765 total
*There exists a hustle where the waitress gets 20% of the credit card total. The customer consents and everything, but I don't think he knows where the tip really goes.
It just seems weird for a person to spend $260 more when he uses credit. I understand the surcharge, but the waitress tip is fucked up. Does your club work this way?
