Giving up your table ?
Papi_Chulo
Miami, FL (or the nearest big-booty club)
Just read a Follies ATL review where the custy was sitting at a table and a waitress came up to him and told him he needed to give it up b/c someone had bought it.
I've noticed SCs where there are tables w/ “Reserved” signs on it – but can a club with apparently open seating (no reserved signs) ask a custy to get up and give the table to someone else – I'm no fucking lawyer but this seems unfair and perhaps illegal to me – there are a whole bunch of tables; why pick out one PL and tell him to get the fuck out?
Got something to say?

In any case, as someone who SCs only on very slow times, this is something I've never had to deal with. I have heard lots and lots of stories of guys who weren't ordering liquor getting kicked out of their tables by bouncers or waitresses, though. Another downside of busy-time clubbing. It's a funny contrast to when I went clubbing a couple of months ago with two buddies of mine. We went to a club we hadn't been in 2 years -- completely new girls and management, so we were basically brand new customers. The 3 of us walked in, I picked the nicest table with the best view, picked up the RESERVED sign and tossed it onto the bench (I'm being literal here), then the 3 of us sat down. No one ever said shit to us. Why would they, there were only 4 customers total in the club, and if 3 of us walked just because they wouldn't let us sit in a reserved table in an empty club, I don't think the girls would have been too happy. 'course, we WERE prepared to walk, because we know strip club management is more about "never let a customer get anything for free, even if it makes them happy and gets them to spend more", but in this case, they were sane.
But if a club did this to me it might be my last time there unless they were nice about it. For example, give me a few free lap dances, or at least a free drink and food, and I might get over it.
I did have an experience on the day shift once. A black waitress came over with 2 black customers in tow and told me that they had just bought my table and I had to move. I called her bluff and she finally gave up and took them over to the other side of the room. Later I talked to my bouncer friend about it and he said "We don't do that shit here. If it ever happens to you again, come and get me".
Nothing in the review stated the PL was not drinking and just sitting there – usually in cases like this is some PL walking in a club and deciding he is more special than the other PLs that are already there and giving the staff $$$ to get him a table but sometimes he may not be cognizant than the staff “accommodating *him*” usually means getting someone kicked out of a table that got there b/f him.
They paid it. Suckas. Lol
He was apologetic and offered to comp me a VIP and drinks. I told him I wasn't ready for a VIP, and I'd had enough to drink, thanks. He offered to find me another seat, but I told him I can take care of myself. Just try not to make a habit of making me move, or I'd start to take it personally.
Twice, it was the Falcon's player John Abraham. He'd have some fat ass Latina dance in front of him while he made it rain on her. In less than 30 minutes, he was out of there, and I took my seat back.
The manager hasn't done that again with me, not since about three years ago. In fact, once when a group of trash talking drug dealers and hos tried to make me move, they called him over, but he told them to leave me the fuck alone and made them apologize to me, which was pretty funny. He told me to let him know if anybody else tries to mess with me.
It can seem unfair, but there's no way it's illegal. The only discrimination is against guys who aren't established regular spenders and in favor of those who slip a big bill to the manager or waitress.
