Buying a Round for the House

Nowadays it seems that somebody flush with money will take over one of the reserved spots, order overpriced bottles of fancy liquor, and have bunch of girls doing table dances. Basically ignoring all the other patrons at the club.
It was nice throwback to see somebody buy a round for the house. What has been your experience?

One of our sales guys used to do that on lunches when we'd go out . . he'd buy a round for the whole joint, it'd be like $1K or $5K, and he didn't care, it wasn't his money.
The Gov't started cracking down on that shit . . business expenses are more scrutinized . . and the rest is history.
As for individuals, I recall one guy at work who made $20K day trading one morning, sold the stock, then took like all 20 of us in the department out to lunch, same sort of thing. Money was more flush those days.
Those were the days!!!!

I'm not the OP, but, in the salesguy's case, he'd just tell the waitress to buy everyone 1 or 2 rounds of their last drink order. So if you had a $2 draft, that's what you got. If you had a $10 mixed drink, that's what you got. I guess if you were drinking coke/pepsi/water maybe you got screwed (you just got the well drink, maybe). He wouldn't do upgrades. "If you won't pay for it; I'm not paying for it" is what he used to say. Or " if you're a cheap ass mofo, then so am I." I mean, if someone was already drinking a 18yo or a 25yo Scotch, he would have bought the same. It really was "a round of your last drink order."
Now, there may have been some shenanigans going on between the waitresses and some of the regulars, vis a vis, to get a drink upgrade. But, when a $1K or a $5K sale was on the line, you can bet your ass the place did whatever they could to not piss off the guy buying the round. Because trust me, had they pissed him off, he would have said FUCK YOU, and walked out, leaving the tab / disputing the charge.
Papi, think Juice did that at KFC when the buffet was discounted. :)
Speaking of drug dealers, one time was sitting next to one and he wanted 2 of his girls to dance only for me, guess he wanted to get rid of them for awhile.
I am tea teetotaler so got a free water. :(
It was Cheetah Atlanta a few years ago. They do a 2-4-1 walk out where the girls wear gowns and give two nude air dances at your table for $10. So they had the walk out and there are aprox. 95 girls on the 3 stages. I don't recall the exact number but it was between 90 and 100, so I'll call it 95. Usually the girls circulate to find a guy to pay them for the 2-4-1. But the DJ announces that a guy at club just closed some business deal and made a fortune, so he bought the dances for everyone. And he tipped the girls double so it was normal price. So he paid $1,900 (95 x $20) for all of the dancers to strip and dance two songs. There were maybe 50 customers so lots of guys had two dancers. I thought that was nicer than buying everybody a drink.
The other day, my wife and I entered a local eatery for lunch. Bought lunch for six Air Force members in uniform. They were very gracious and thanked us. "Thanked us?" We returned the the thanks two fold!
