Ripoff clubs in Metro Manila
I visited a club like this on Roxas Blvd. In Baclaran. At the door I ascertained that there is no cover. I checked the price of a drink and ordered one. Problem: the waiter would not accept payment! It's my policy never to run a tab. Besides the possibility of additional charges, as complained of below, especially after a guy has been drinking, I want to be able to leave quickly in case of a disturbance. So the madame, or mama-san, joins me to ask what she can do for me. And I say, Get me the bill for this drink! She did so. But after that, no one approached me. My pleasure was to watch, with no action.
[QUOTE=Remi317;1311146]This club is a ripoff. . So they give me my tab it was 400 pesos for the two beers. 875 pesos for the girl drink and 600 pesos cover charge and two additional 600 pesos charges. I'm what the hell is this for? Surcharge sir. I'm like surcharge for what? I'm not paying this I told him. So now I have the waiter the maddam and three additional guys there. At this point I'm thinking its going to be cheper just to pay the bill and suck it up than to try and fight these bastards. So I paid them but not before giving them an earfull. This was my third trip to the Phillippines and my first bad experience.[/QUOTE]
