Big Brother – SC style

I'd recently read about a new sing-in procedure for custies at a black club in MD (Bazz & Crue now going by X4B) – anyway the latest reviewer for the club kinda breaks down this new “sign-in” system and it's kinda sobering – actually kinda fucked up IMO:
#################
There have been a couple of significant changes at X4B. First the good. They added 3 more sofas. Now there are 7 sofas total.
Now for the not so good news. They are using a nightclub identity management system for check-in. Nightclub identity management systems are rapidly being deployed in bars and nightclubs all over the world. These types of systems are primarily designed to facilitate the banning of unruly guest. On first use you must register by scanning your id and your fingerprints of both index fingers. The information on your id is used to for marketing, demographics, and statistics. Your fingerprints are used to prevent you from claiming to be someone else in the future (i.e. fake id). On subsequent visits your fingerprint is scanned to pull up your profile so that the operator can see if there are any bans on your profile. Then your picture is taken on every visit so that they know what you look like on that day. This allows the operator to easily identify your profile in case you get kick out of the club. If you get kicked out, the operator will place a ban and justification on your profile. Bans generally last between 30 days and a year. Your profile may be shared by other clubs using the same system. If you go to another club they will see bans from other clubs and they will determine whether or not to deny you entry to their club. Being banned from one club could possibly equate to being banned from all clubs.
The dancers are also required to use this system. In my observation, dancers get into way more conflicts than the patrons. They are suspended all of the time. That’s probably why many of them work at more than 1 club at a time. If they get suspended, they just work at their backup club without suffering any disruption of income. If all of the strip clubs install this system, dancers could be suspended from all clubs at the same time and have their income disrupted.

At two, I challenged it, and they let me in anyway. At the third, they didn't, and I walked.
I don't give a shit why they are scanning. There's no way that I'm allowing an official, undeniable record of my visit.
Thank God, this was a typo. If I had to sing, I would never get into a strip club again.
Why do citizens of the land of the free ever put up with this bullshit?!?!?! With identity theft being what it is. Just say "fuck no!"
On dayshift, about half the clubs do not do ID scanning, but about half do. That half that do are shitholes anyway, so no big deal.
On nightshift, all the clubs owned by dejavu (that is, every club in the city except for TWO) do ID scanning. It's been a while since I've done nightshifts so this might have changed, but not sure.
This is part of the downside of one company owning basically a monopoly on the strip clubs in a city. They can insitute anything they want, across the board. So now you get to decide not to strip club at all, or get your ID scanned ... well, except that you do have 2 other choices, which are not Deja Vu owned, but if raunchy extras clubs in bad areas of town aren't your thing, then you're stuck
But the fingerprints requirement is fucked up. I don't give anybody my fingerprints. At least not unless the DS and I end up in the middle of a drug bust in which case I guess finger prints will be mandatory..
Alberta clubs are so lame that it is no great loss to me if I can't make it past the scanner.
Like a poster said above, giving your ID and fingerprints is a recipe for identity theft.
Let them register with the government for dancer licenses and shit (which I don't agree with) - they are making money.
But no way am I going to pay people to get ID that can be stolen by them dumping data into a cloud, the trash for dumpster divers, or the local computer fix it shop to hork.
F that. I've had shitty credit in college. I have worked hard to bring my score up. No fucking way am I burning that for the bullshit I dealt with in and directly after college cuz some tweaker yanked my id.
