Word. I remember spazzing the first time I held one. Things are a damn paperweight. It's crazy, though. These dudes out here thinking they're stunting with their AMEX Gold and Platinum cards always come off arrogant and act like pompous jackasses. Every dude who's had a Black card has been extremely humble and easy to talk to. Go figure.Originally Posted by Sneakerhead14

Your an immigration lawyer??? seriously why is it so hard to remain in this country even after completing several several degrees?
No no no lol One of my clients is, ill ask him next time i see him. Weve spent about 5 years and thousands of dollars trying to get family from overseas to america and he was able to make it happen in less then a year at a fraction of the cost with a call from his personal cell phone.

I worked at Nordstrom:
1. Even if you brought it YEARS ago, decades even, we'll most likely return it for you. Heck, you can even get cold hard cash for it.
2. Any clothing item you buy worth more than $25, you can get complimentary hemming on. If the alteration is not complimentary, do it elsewhere. We charge an arm and a leg.
3. Any giftcard you use with a remaining balance of less than $10, we can cash out for you.
4. When all else fails, ask to speak to a manager. We're so concerned with preserving our excellent reputation that we let customers get away with anything.
7. Don't try to steal, because undercover Loss Prevention agents ARE watching you.
8. If we don't have it in our store, make us call around for it. We have to. It's our job.
So true..You would have never guessed just by looking at them.Originally Posted by PJ and Bompton

Be extremely nice to whoever is at the Front Desk. Although, I will say....you will run into douchbags who work at the FD. Just a part of life. But if you ever need anything and happen to have a somewhat decent person working up front, your courtesy will go along way in terms of them making things happen for you.
We control the rates. We say we can't 'override' them. Yes we can. We have the ability to comp rooms, too. (although that RARELY ever happens without the consent of a superior)
If you're ever travelling and need to go to a restroom, stop at a decent looking hotel. Never stop at a rest stop or a Circle K. You're just looking for an unpleasant experience. Clean and welcoming bathrooms are a must in the hotel industry.
And to you dudes who wanna 'trick' in front of your girl....make sure you have sufficient funds on your card. Nothing's more embarrassing than seeing these dudes try to stunt and have to tell them their card got denied in front of wifey.
Also, use a CC at hotels versus a Debit card. I'll use an example why....
Rate for a room is 149 + tax. The total comes out to...let's say. $161.xx ...well at check-in, we preauthorize more than that amount for incidental reasons...so we'll preauthorize 180-190.
With CC's, that additional 19-29 dollar hold comes off in 24-48 hours.
With Debit cards, that hold can take up to a week to get released back to you.
Which can be a pain in the *^& for you if you have funds tied up. And then you guys wanna blame it on us. Take it up to your bank.

This dude told me last week he wanted 25% of his room taken off the bill because he had a blurry TVI said "Honestly thats not something I am prepared to do right now."Gave him $50 bucks off to get him out of my face.

I'm sorry, but whoever doesn't know most of this simply by having gone to a strip club once in their life is really stupid.Originally Posted by KWIET ONE
Adult Entertainment/Strip Club Industry X Event Promotions/Marketing
Adult entertainment is the shadiest business, ON EARTH. Promotions is the next in line. Put them together and you're going to get screwed, unless you're the one doing the screwing.
If you think a stripper likes you, it's because she does. She also likes the last 20 guys she sat with.
No matter how much money you spend in a strip club, there has been a guy there in the last week who spent more. Sure, you might get some VIP treatment for spending a lot, but don't go overboard with the demands. You might be a big shot in your mind but there will be another one in the door before you leave.
That drink that you just bought her, for $16.75, is probably lemonaid with grenadine, she says she's getting wasted but the only thing wasted is your money. She got it for free and is going to split that money with the waitress at the end of the night. It does add up.
Managers at strip clubs will do anything and say anything to get what they want. They are worse than used car salesman, sleaze wise. I know a GM who bought a house for about 1.4 and will be ready to flip out if his tip is $5 shorter than what he wanted at the end of the night.
I know a VIP hostess who has cleared 6 figures for the last 5 years. Whatever you want, she will get, but it's going to cost you.
Outside the HUGE markets like NYC, ATL, Vegas, SF (famous for their strip clubs) etc. most strippers don't make THAT much money. There are exeptions to every rule, but generally, they may not be broke but they aren't balling out like some want you to believe.
Despite that Chris Rock song, there IS sex in the champagne room. And after hours, etc.
A lot of the big spenders are genuinely paying for someone to sit with them and talk. It's crazy how lonely some rich guys are.
I'm out of thoughts. Any questions, though, shoot.

My friends and I went to Vegas for the first time and hit up the Spearmint Rhino.
2 of them got dates with dancers. This short, asian stripper was really into my friend. Picked him up at the hotel in her brand new 350Z and drove him around. They hooked up in our hotel room. She was even calling him at the airport before we flew home. Strippers are some crazy people but they tell the best partying/drug stories.

They don't keep it in a Gucci or LV wallet either. Strictly money clips. Lol
