after finishing with a lapper i wound up going to the bathroom. through the door i heard two guys talking. one loudly said to the other,"that guy? he used to come here all the time. he's in the bathroom right now cleaning up." then one of them right after that opened the bathroom door, saw me and then walked out.
i think i was spotted on camera getting a mild extra.
Management usually likes me. Tge only bad service I've had is when they got jealous of me for just hanging out with girls too much and get on their case for not working or when they find out I'm dating a girl.
Other than that service is always great when I meet management

When I go into a club, I'm like a stealth bomber. I want to be completely invisible to club management. Only reason I would ever want to communicate with them at all would be if I have to in getting access to the VIP rooms.
" I want to be completely invisible to club management"
Totally understand. I do the reverse ... I don't necessarily seek it out, but I'm friendly with the staff as opportunities arise. But here are some (just some) benefits I've had at clubs I've been a regular at over the years. In order of least to biggest impact
I have not paid the entrance fee at my fave clubs in years
I stroll in, go to the best table that has a "reserved" sign on it, throw the sign down, and sit there
Sometimes the manager or bartender gives me a round for free
I've had a bartender who would charge me for bottom shelf liquor and pour me top shelf
A DJ who I bought a shot for once in a while, would let whichever girl was sitting with me skip stage. Since I usually go during dead shifts, the girls love skipping stage since they're dancing for very few customers and tips.
I've had a manager let me and my buddies bring in our own bottle of liquor, for $150 in tips under the table to him and his bartender. Bottle service from them would have been $300 minimum for their cheapest bottle, we'd always bring in top shelf stuff for our $150
In the higher end, lower-touching clubs I go to, typically the bouncer strolls through the VIP room once per song, or once every two songs minimum. The bouncers almost never go through the VIP when I'm back there, and the girls all know it (or figure it out quickly), which means that low-touch club is not low-touch for me, if the stripper is game
Of course, sometimes the only benefit I get is that I have someone to talk sports with while I'm waiting for my ATF. Still a win!
Whether it's a real win depends on how the girls get on with management. Clubs have a real us vs them mindset between staff and dancers. Which side you're perceived to be on matters. Club politics matter a lot. But if any benefits you get are just based on 💸 then you're a mark in their eyes

What they said: "Take care" of him.
What that actually meant: "Spit in his drink."

That would be bad.

No worries for you creep, you have to actually be in a club to be seen!
