SuperDude said exactly what I was coming in here to say.
This thread reminds me of the first time I found out how ridiculous ATM fees are in strip clubs. I'm careful with my money. I usually only bring in the amount I plan to spend. But one time I decided to get a more expensive dance so I had to use the ATM to withdraw some money. It was like a $6 fee to use that ATM machine and I ended up having to use it twice because I pressed the wrong button and didn't withdraw enough money the first time I used it. :(
Somehow it is appropriate that to report something about a strip club theft to call a number that includes the word TIPS. Wonder if the reward comes in dollar bills?
Serves them right for charging those ridiculous ATM fees.
ATM fees are a rip off but at least it is better than that stupid "funny money" clubs will give you when paying with credit card.
There once was $1,800 worth of funny money stolen from Platinum (now called Vanity). A popular local athlete got busted using $50 worth of fake money and they tried to pin it all on him. The charge was dismissed and the local owner was made out to be a douche bag trying to get publicity.
It was Bill Gates. He's the thief, he didn't want his wife to know he was spending their money in strip clubs.
If it was $6 for an ATM fee in a SC you got off easy. Many are $10 or more.
Still others are there to harvest your card information. Clubs are owned by shady people, and they have friends who are even shadier. You might not get cleaned out this week or this month, but maybe long after you've forgotten about having used that machine. Often they'll wait 'til payday. Never use an ATM that's not installed in a wall, preferably on bank property.
Go to a supermarket or Wal-Mart, buy some gum or something, and get cash back. There's always a Wal-Mart near SCs!
I DIDN'T DO IT!!
Most of the ones I've used charge atleast $6 and anything over $60 is a fee of 10% of what you take out ($20 from 200 and so forth)
If you are so worried about ATM fees, get a card that rebates fees. I have a Schwab One account that allows me to use ATM's anywhere with no fees.
