Cash on the bar

Never seen this before, I was in a club in Virgina this week and saw a guy with proibably 200 to 300 bills, I'm assuming singles, in piles (like 6 "folds", bankroll type piles) in frount of him on the bar. Seemed excessive,a nd did not seem like he was gettting any extrar attention fomthe ladies bacause of it, couse he was dispenceing them one or 2 at a time like me and everyone else who was tipping.
I usually will have 10 to 20 out on the bar or table at the ready, not 200 to 300. With anouthe 20 to so in my wallet, usually find that if I'm running low on singles, its tome for another drink and pay with a 20 for a 3 coke or 5 beer and get singles back in change.
Anybody taek this quabity of apparenty singles to a club. By the way, there are no laps or private dances here, so ne reason to be shellingout 20s at a time for Laps, so I got to beleive these were just singles.

    Isn't that why they print larger bills, and why bartenders break them for you?

    Sounds like a dude just trying to impress everyone else. My money always stays out of sight. It's safer that way.

    My thoughts exactly! Sounds like a 'little fish' trying to be a big 'whale' on a small salary. If I were a dancer and saw he was passing his "Washingtons" out one or two at a time, I wouldn't be hanging around the dude either!

    On this thought...... I do a test of honesty sometimes. Since Ohio outlawed smoking in ALL establishments statewide, I might leave a few ones and a fiver on the bar with my drink, letting the bartender know I'm leaving only for a cigarette, not to take my drink away. If I find 'any' bills missing (which I haven't to date), I probably would never return to the club again..... or never do the honest test there again.

    Agree, must be a guy trying to impress. In Phoenix clubs, there has been a steady rise over the past year in the number of guys with stacks of $1's. One use of them is to "rain" on a girl on stage (give her a fluttering shower of 10 or 20 bills). This seems to be a hip hop thing (there is even a song out there with words like "I'm gonna rain on them hoes").

    Me, I'm with Teddy Roosevelt, "Walk softly, and carry a big stick". :-o

    Bones7599,

    I thought I was the only one that did, as you call it, a "test of honesty".
    Like you, I've never had anything taken. Although I don't smoke, a restroom trip works for me.

    I have seen similar, but normally the guy is waiting for some girl to do the butt shaking, grinding dance on stage and as harrydave suggested make "it rain" on them (throwing dollars in the air for the effect that it looks like a lot). I never liked that idea, depending on the place, I would rather just place it in the garter belt, or just hand it to her. The girl has to collect all that money sooner or later, so why make it harder on her.
