How long before SC management recognizes you

Most of us probably just want to slip in unnoticed, and get our jollies unobserved. But I would think the management recognizes repeat customers pretty soon. How quickly after joining a club, did you begin to feel like a known entity? Did it bug you?
I'm a very different height than most people, I probably stand out. It's about the 3rd visit to a club when the owner or floor manager stops by and introduces himself. It gives me a bit of a "Welcome to Wal*Mart we are watching you" feeling, but it may also be an indication of "Don't worry too much about breaking a few minor indecency rules in VIP, we know you're spending money here."

IME, you don't have to grease them or blow them or whatever. As soon as I realize I'm going to be a regular at a club, I'll introduce myself and shake the hand of the manager or bouncer when he comes by, engage in sports shit-talking here and there, and if the guy is friendly, have him do a round of shots with us. Next thing you know, I'm finger-banging Bambi, while most guys get yelled at for merely touching her thighs.
I realize many goes who go to SCs are introverts, and I completely understand why an introvert would avoid what they perceive as stressful social interactions (really, no sarcasm there). But if you're NOT an introvert, this takes no fucking effort at all -- just throw him some lockerroom talk here and there, it can actually be a relief from talking with 20 year old girls all fucking day -- and can pay off bigtime.
Another club, both the doormen recognize me and I'll chat with them as I'm paying my cover. After I pay my cover, if a particular bartender is working, she'll come over and give me a hug and have my usual drink of choice waiting on me. I've even had a drink or two "on the house."
@Lurker - I know what you're talking about with the height comment. I'm a big guy (when meeting someone new, I'm always asked 'what position did you play in football?' I didn't play football...I was a basketball guy.) I also keep my haircut very short. For the first month going to a new club, it seemed only a few dancers would approach me. Finally, one night the doorman told me "So....I gotta ask you something. There is a rumor going around here that you are an undercover cop. Are you a cop?" I laughed and told him I was not a cop. He said he'd "let everyone know." From that night on, I've had a lot more dancers stopping by my table!
At my fave club, I've paid the cover maybe 2 or 3 times in the past 5 years -- only because the regular dayshift bouncer or manager was out, and the door was being managed by a nightshift fill-in. I don't pay the cover, I get away with a little more during dances, I occasionally get comp'ed drinks or get charged bottom-shelf price for top-shelf pours. Honestly, even if I didn't get all those things, I like having someone to talk sports or whatever with for 2 minutes, just as a break.
Admittedly I haven't been hitting the clubs as often lately but when I was the bartenders knew me, the managers knew me, and in one place the owner came over and handed me a wallet full of cover passes directly.
I 've had one warning during dances and I'm pretty sure it had more to do with the manager having his eye on the dancer than anything else.
As a good customer who doesn't cause problems, it only helps me to be known and recognized.
A little small talk can go a long way in making you feel more comfortable -
My cousin is a manager at a club out here in Houston vivid when I go there he gives me the Vip treatment
Treasures Houston managmet doesn't know me but the girls working the doors and bartenders do
I will never be able to fly under the radar in a stripclub and that's just the way it is. Usually it works to my benefit so I'm not complaining.
I haven't interacted with bouncers or management at all. Which I'm fine with.
For the most part, I don't mind. Like Subra mentioned, sometimes its nice to talk sports, guns, cars, etc for a bit while your stripper powders her nose or whatever. There's also no doubt that I get better treatment from the entire staff after getting a little more friendly with the floor/shift/general mangers. It's usually a lot of little things, a free drink here or there, I don't pay cover at night on the rare occasions I go. The time limits for the rooms basically don't apply, we're in there as long as we want to be. If my dancer wants to sit and chill with me past shift change, she won't be charged extra house fee's/asked to tip the people who came on for night shift, etc. I'm not greasing them or anything, just being friendly back.
It's not a bad price to pay for the slight loss of anonymity. If I'm going to a club frequently chances are I'm brining a stripper to my place anyway, so I'm gonna lose it regardless.
