Went to a club a couple weeks ago to see one of my faves. We had swapped text msgs earlier in the day, and there was a bit of misunderstanding about when I would be there. So when I got there, she had just agreed to a 30-min VIP with another guy. She was bummed, but I told her that I would definitely wait for her.
Anyway, about 40 minutes later, she came back. We generally hang out together for a half-hour or more, just talking, maybe a dance or two, before going VIP (if we're doing that at all that night). We were at the bar, having a drink and talking when - after about 20 min - her last VIP (the one I waited through) came back to her, complaining about something, waving his CC receipt like he didn't get his french fries at McD's. I couldn't hear what either of them was saying, but I could tell she was getting agitated.
I managed to suppress my urge to ride in on a white stallion and kick the guy's ass, just on the general principle of making her unhappy. ;-) Unfortunately, I was kinda boxed in, such that I couldn't go anywhere without her moving, anyway. Otherwise, I was gonna go track down a bouncer and tell him that a customer was giving shit to one of the dancers. Eventually she took French Fry Guy to the manager to sort things out.
Should I ever encounter something like this again (or just for my general SC etiquette education), was the impulse to go get a bouncer right? Would he do anything? Or was there something else that I could have done?
Most of the time kicking the guys ass is the first thing you would like to do. Couldn't say that it was a bad idea to get a bouncer, Hell that's what they get paid to do, lucky things ended up ok. She should be lucky you are there if help was needed. Hey no one ended up in jail, or worse.
