FlashDancers Downtown — Restaurant in New York

The girls who work here are very untrustworthy.

I took my assistant and his friends out to celebrate a special occasion. I bought two martinis for me and my assistant. I asked for the bill and I signed both of the receipts without adding additional service ontop of the inclusive 20% gratuity. On the receipt I left the gratuity and total bill amount empty.

I’m a slim gay male, from London, I didn’t wish to pay an additional service fee on top of the already included 20% gratuity. After signing, the waitress Nicole quickly seized both receipts and left.

Ten minutes later I had a hunch of what had just happened- I recalled a story of a friend being taken advantage of, a story where they were charged hundreds of dollars without consent at a strip club. So I requested for a ‘copy of my last receipt’ - “Nicole” starts acting deeply uncomfortable - trembling - she told me she threw my receipt it in the trash. I challenge her and I request that I want a copy of my receipt. She’s clearly struggling - it is visible that she is deliberating confessing what had just happened.

From her behaviour and body language it was obvious to me what she had done. She had attempted to add an unauthorised service charge on my account - without my consent.

She proceeded to lie to me and tell me that she threw my receipt in the trash. She knew she had committed a crime. She Immediately goes and speaks to Security - I approached them both and ask for my receipt- he knows exactly what is going on.

I’m a weak guy, with below average muscle structure- he’s a big guy and muscular and proceeds to challenge me aggressively, he was attempting to get a rise out of me so that he could enforce me out of the place. I kept my arms by my side. He pushes me backwards where I bump into a waiter who also attempts to escalate the scenario. It seems at this moment that the employees of this place are in on what is going on. Another waitress ‘miraculously’ finds the receipts and hands it to the security guard- it has been tampered with - the receipt was cut with scissors- my signature and the additional gratuity that the waitress had added was removed.

I take the receipt from the bouncer. He freaks out as he realises that the merchants copy which has been altered is still stapled to the customer copy!!! It’s in my hands! He orders for my receipt back! I say no. He’s attempting to conceal the evidence of fraudulence of the staff. I refuse to give him my receipt back and I, as calmly as I can, walk back to my table to tell my friends that we gotta go. I put the receipt in my boxer shorts and walk out of the strip club. Whilst walking to the exit I’m rudely pushed by another bouncer.

The whole experience was deeply upsetting - tragic and manipulative. Sadden to learn that people behave in this way.

This story doesn’t really have a conclusion. I want you to know that I went to this place for a good time and didn’t have that at all.

After I exited the club it was clear to the security and management what had gone down. So they quickly issued the correct charge for my drinks without the fraudulent addition of Nicole.

I’ve been to strip clubs in New York a couple of times and they sucked. Ugly girls, unfriendly bouncers. This club is on my way from work and I finally decided to check it out. I was expecting to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised instead. I came around 8pm on St Patrick’s day. The club is quite small but it was packed with girls. There were a few customers but I think the ratio of girls to customers was 2 to 1. Most of the girls sit around waiting for their turn to dance or offer a lap dance to a customer. The girls are from all over the world, from Russia to Columbia. Most of them look great with some really stunning ones.

When I came in, Kat the massage girl came over and gave me a great shoulder and neck massage. I never had that before in a strip club! Right after that I had several lap dances with drop dead gorgeous Hungarian brunette by the name Jackie. Also did some lap dances with other girls and the second massage from Kat. Massage plus beautiful and friendly girls made this an...

The girls 1 out of 10 I give them a 3 with maybe to being worthy of the Mighty Dollar but besides that drinks were expensive more than usual in a strip club but was small tight cramped and I know that's redundant but do not give them your credit card and I repeat that with the utmost important via cash only that you bring because you will be in for a surprise when you look at your online bill such as my friends from Australia they got charged for a backroom pleasure Palace thingy whatever you want to call it they charge them 300 for four absolutes to Makers Coke and they charged 16 for Jameson $20 for dance and the girls from 1 to 10 weren't that great I would say a to a three and maybe a 5 and 1/8 in the Polish Girl was an eighth so I don't know what to say but beware when you go it's...
