I've Just Been Robbed And Nearly Assaulted At Diamond Dolls Pompano Beach

I know this belongs in the review section but I felt this was important enough to be published here as well so the story can receive maximum attention.

For over a year now, I've been a regular at diamond dolls pompano.

If you have visited this club then you know they have small private rooms in the back that can mostly be used for 3 songs at a time and then they have 2 bigger private VIP rooms near the entrance that can be bought 1 hour at a time.

I find the private rooms at the back to be too small for an enjoyable experience.

Because of this, every time I visit this club I will always pay to get access to the bigger VIP rooms at front.

The cost for the bigger rooms is $150 per hour and you also get one bottle of champagne per hour included.

There are 2 of these VIP rooms and one is significantly bigger then the other.

Depending on the night, there can be high demand for this specific VIP room so what I do when I go in is I will pay for the room in advance so I know i have it when I need it.

What most guys do is they find a girl and then when they have the girl they go buy the vip room.

This can be risky since by the time you have your girl someone else might have already taken the room.

What I do is I will buy the biggest vip room as soon as i get to the club and I always buy in chunks of at least 2 hours.

For example, if i get to the club at 10 PM then i will pay $300 so I have the big vip room until 12 AM.

Once the room is secured i will go hang out in the main area of the club and start looking for a girl i like.

If after 90 min or so I still have not found a girl I like, I will pay another $300 to reserve the biggest vip room for an additional 2 hours.

I'm the type of guy who likes to take his time and stay in strip clubs for a long time and most of my visits are almost always 4+ hours so I almost always end up occupying the big vip room for at least 4 hours every time i visit this place.

This has been my routine at this club for over a year now and there has never been any problems in the past until this week.

On Sunday, I returned to this club after not have been there in several months.

It had been a long time so I ended up spending over 6 hours in the club and spending $900 to reserve the big vip room during the entire visit.

I enjoyed myself and left on Sunday with no problems.

I decided to return the next day and that's when things started to go south.

I walked in and as always i told a staff member I wanted to buy the big vip room for 2 hours.

I gave the staff member the $300 and waited for her to go grab my 2 bottles of champagne.

At this point, one of the club managers a man named Brett walked up to me.

He welcomed me back, told me the club appreciated my business and then.....

Then he launched into this rant about how he had heard I had been at the club the night before and had not tipped any of the waitresses.

He went on about how these girls made a living off tips and how the government taxes them on tips and that the nice thing to do would be for me to tip them.

It was an extremely weird scene; i found it incredibly strange that the manager would be coming up to me and basically try to reprimand me for not tipping the waitresses.

I tried to explain to him that I do not like to feel obligated to tip and that I would only tip if someone went above and beyond and provided extraordinary service.

Instead of listening to me Brett walked away mid sentence as I was still speaking.

About 2 hours later, I went to a staff member and informed her that I wanted to buy an additional 2 hours of the room.

I gave her the $300 and waited while she went to grab the 2 bottles of champagne.

About 10 min later, Brett walks up to me, gives me my $300 back and tells me someone else has already bought the room after my first 2 hours are up.

This is when I knew something bad was happening.

This manager Brett has been working at this club since I started coming there, he knows my routine very well, he knows I almost always buy more time after the first 2 hours so I knew he had done this on purpose.

I decided to leave the club but before leaving i asked around and found out the guy in charge, Brett's boss was a guy named Garry who was the general manager.

I decided I would go home and return the next day and speak to Garry who I was told had already left the club that night.

I return the next day and asked to speak to Garry.

Garry spends 40 min trying to convince me that I should be tipping the waitresses even suggesting 15-20% would be a good amount.

I refuse to agree to tip them by default and tell him i will only tip if someone provides extraordinary service.

After going in circles for 40 min, I flat out ask him " are you basically telling me you do not want my business if I refuse to agree to always tip the waitresses?"

Garry tells me that this is not what he is saying but that since I wont tip them i should know that the waitresses will not want to serve me.

I ask him why as their boss he cannot force them to, he tells me if he does that he will lose staff.

I ask him " if you refuse to force the waitresses to serve me then who will bring the bottles and set up the room when I pay for the vip rooms?"

He tells me he will get Brett the manager to do it.

I agree to this and Garry walks away.

I tell Brett that I want to buy the big vip room.

He says ok and then walks away.

I assumed he had gone to go get my champagne that comes with the room.

A few min later Garry comes back and tells me if I want the big vip room then its $300 per hour and that for $150 I can only get the smaller of the 2 vip rooms.

I tell him I've been buying that big vip room every time i come in for $150 per hour for over a year.

He tells me that the managers had been making a mistake and that for the big vip room its supposed to be $300 per hour.

Thinking back now, I should have probably walked out of the club at this point.

But at the time I decided to just pay them the $300 per hour for the room I want.

I felt I would not enjoy the girls in the smaller vip room since its actually not that much bigger then the closet sized rooms in the back that most people use.

I pay them $900 for 3 hours of the big vip room and head to the main area of the club to finally begin my night after wasting nearly 1 hour listening to Garry try to convince me to tip the waitresses and then all the nonsense with them suddenly doubling the price of the big vip room.

for the next 2 hours and 40 min, i'm doing my usual routine, enjoying myself and looking for the best girl to take to vip.

This club does not have a huge roster so ive already met most of their regular girls so thats another reason i like to take my time.

One thing i also routinely do is ill go inside the vip room i have paid for every 30-40 min just to make sure no dancer is in there smoking since i hate the smell of smoke and ive noticed in the past some of the girls will go in there to hang out and smoke when its not being used by a customer.

After around 2 hours and 40 min, i go to the washroom.

10 min later when i come out i go to check my vip room and i find another customer in there with a dancer.

I walk up to the manager (Brett) and ask him why there is someone in the room i paid for.

He brings me to Garry who tells me that I only had it for 10 more min so they just went ahead and gave it to the next guy.

At this point, i get super angry but I manage to control myself and i dont start yelling or causing a scene.

I tell Garry "that is completely unacceptable and unprofessional".

He just looks at me and kind of smirks.

I look at him in a very serious way and calmly ask "are you sure this is how you want to handle this?"

He nods yes to me.

I turn around and immediately walk out and start making a phone call.

This is when things escalate even more.

Garry follows me outside of the club and so does Brett and one of the bouncers.

Garry walks up to me outside and says in a threatening way "who are you calling?" and adds "you better not be calling the wrong people".

At this point, I'm outside alone and Garry, Brett and the bouncer are basically hovering near me in a way i felt they where about to jump me.

Luckily, within 1 min of me being outside a taxi pulls up, i wave him down and get inside before any of them have a chance to attack me.

I have the taxi take me to a nearby gas station and from there I decide to call the police.

5 min later 2 officers show up, I explain to them what happened and they tell me there is nothing they can do because its a civil matter.

I do manage to convince them to drive back with me to the club so they can assure my safety while I request a refund for the unused room time.

so the officers hop in their car and my taxi is following them from behind. with me in the taxi.

Unfortunately, we get stuck in a red light and the officers get way ahead of us.

By the time we catch up to them at the club, I see Garry outside talking to the officers.

I get out of the taxi and approach and as soon as the cops see me one of them says " I told you we could not get involved in this, we have to go" and then the cops drive away in a hurry.

It was very strange how they suddenly just left so Garry must have lied to them about me or something.

At this point, with the police having abandoned me I decide its not safe and get in my taxi to leave.

Garry walks up to the taxi, opens the door and starts yelling "get out he is not taking you".

Luckily, the taxi driver accepted to still take me.

But the way Garry spoke to the taxi driver I could tell this driver had some sort of arrangement with the club, Garry spoke to him as if this driver worked for him.

At one point Garry asked the taxi driver "where are you taking him?"

Because of all this I decided it would not be safe to have this taxi driver take me home so I had him take me to a nearby hotel and from there I called a friend for help.

And thats pretty much the end of the story yesterday.

I was so angry last night and could not even sleep.

First thing I did today was call my friend who originally told me about this club.

I told him the full details.

He told me that I was very lucky to get out of there without getting assaulted.

He says that I should never return to the club because they will jump me and then claim i was trespassing private property if I call the cops after.

He also told me I need to remember that strip clubs are inherently environments filled with bad people and that he has personally seen people get beat up by staff at diamond dolls and other clubs in Florida.

He also told me that he has been going to that place for 10+ years and that Garry controls everyone there including the cab drivers they allow to wait for people outside the club.

Thats the full story.

I'm still extremelly angry and I cannot believe I was treated like that even though I've probably spent $40 000 - $60 000 at this club in the past year. and thats how much I've spent on just the vip rooms and drinks and does not include paying the dancers.

Is there anything i can do?

Can I sue?

Should i call the police again?

Or is this a hopeless case and I should just try to forget and move on with my life?

I'm so fucking angry right now and cant stop thinking about last night.
