Tipping the bird dogs?

Yesterday I was at a club that charges $5 for wristbands to enter the VIP area. As I gave the VIP bird dog a $10, he asked me, "Do you need change?"
I was blown away to be hit up for a tip by the f**king bird dog.
I have no trouble tipping dancers, under the right circumstances.
I obviously always tip waitresses. It is easy to give money to a woman bringing me liquor.
I don't even mind giving a buck or two to the bathroom attendant, who I think might have the worst job in the American economy.
But I can't imagine that the guy who mans the VIP area (although his function seems pretty limited to selling wristbands..I've never heard of him spying on VIP booths) now decides that he needs to get on the tipping bandwagon.
Can anyone imagine a more disgusting and blatant shake-down? I am literally thinking of bringing this up to one of the managers that I have gotten to know fairly well. What's next--tipping the dj's for playing songs?
Got something to say?
