Running a tab

I have never run a tab in a strip club.
I have only been asked once or twice if I wanted to run a tab and that would have required me to use a credit card to set one up. Since I do not carry cards while clubbing it was not even an option.
The fees and extra charges have to draconian and I positive the girls prefer cash!
The other advantage to not running a tab is that when you want to leave for what even reason you can just get up and leave.
I see from the ATM signs they charge a $10 fee minimum for the first $100 plus a $10 per $100.(a sign I recently saw) and I have been in clubs where the ATM dispenses club money only good in the club(the waitresses gave change in club money also).
I have always paid as I went. I never even charge things to my hotel room when I stay in places that have bars and restaurants.
I see stories of guy running up hundreds of dollars in charges and then try to duck out?? (shadowcat post earlier) How do you do that??
The most I have ever owed is the fee to the dancer for the dances just performed !

Can't be stressed enough to never bring a credit/debit card into a strip club. ATM fees are outrageous, if you're weak-willed, a stripper can get you to overspend beyond your means, a paper trail now exists of your visit, and the horror stories of being overcharged are as frequent as Detroit-area bj's.
And guys who try to lap and dash are the biggest douche-nozzles of all.

In all of the strip clubs I go to, there's a bank with an ATM within short walking distance, so even if I needed money, just a short walk and regular fees.
My cheap bone must be girthier and veinier than my bone bone, because I always (through decades of SCing) have my wallet on me, and I've never made a trip to the club ATM to overspend well beyond my intended budget (I've overspent by $100-$150 a few times, but that seems like chicken scratch)... maybe being miserly is a virtue in the strip club. Then again, the fact that the past 10 years I've clubbed in mostly non-extras clubs makes this much easier, although I don't recall it being any more difficult to keep to a budget in extras clubs.
