tips aren't included in the bill, the owner pays his staff a proper wage in the first place and doesn't rely on the customer to pay his/her employees.
Tipping is a reward, not an expectation. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

I totally agree. Tipping waiters is one thing but its insane how many people you have to freaking tip these days.

He can fuckoff with his 2 million.
They can fuckoff with their drinks minimum.
Plus if he can afford a $350 bottle of vodka he can just fuckoff anyway

he should ask them for the extra charges, plus whatever hospital bills he may have incurred, and nothing else. if they refused, then sue them & add on the legal expenses to that bill. enough of this 'be a victim--win the lottery' bullshit.

Clearly you don't understand how tort law works... you always demand an outrageous amount in your Statement of Claim (sorry, Complaint... I forgot I was talking about the US). The reason for this is that when you sue someone you're really suing their insurance carrier and you want to claim the policy limits... this puts more pressure on the insurance carrier to negotiate a settlement.

and thats why i dont go to night clubs anymore.
i blame consumers tho for falling for stupidity.
It used to be that companies would go out of their way to convenience you so you would spend money. when did that change?
I dont go to nightclubs anymore because I dont believe in lining up. I will not go anywhere unless i know the people working the doors.
I have vowed i will never line up like a sheep for any service. I will not wait outside hoping the bouncer picks me to come and spend my money at their establishment. What are we a bunch of fuckin dopes?! how stupid are we? they should be begging me to come into their establishment to spend my hard earned money. This world has gone backwards.
I blame consumers though and how much of a bunch of sheep people have turned into.
FOr example, IN toronto we are such sports freaks that the home teams such as the toronto raptors and toronto maple leafs have made their own channels. The idea was to put a number of games on to these channels and to watch them you need to pay pay per view prices. an idea that would have been squashed way too soon if people just had a little self control and said "No I will not pay for something i already get for free and have been getting for free for years". BUt this idea has blown up now because the moment they did this everyone threw in their creditcards like a bunch of fuckin sheep.
My point being : this world will keep fuckin you straight in the fuckin ass for as long as you let them. Too bad our society consists of 90% fag pussies and will continue to allow this sort of abuse.

A 3 bottle minimum? Jesus H., do they pay for your cab ride home? Or do they just expect you to drink all that then get home safely on your own? If I'm buying 3 bottles at $350 a pop, you're damned right I'm drinking 'em.

i like clubs, but some can fuck off with their
"300$ a bottle" service. some friends and myself had bottle service before and the bill came to about 700 dollars or so (we don't get to pour our own drinks, the bottle girl comes and does it for us). i know the club owners laugh at people who spend money like that for drinks...
and some of the clubs i go to, i have to tip people in the damn BATHROOM for handing me a paper towel which is only a hands reach away from me. it's pathetic. i remember in once instance where i was reaching for a paper towel and she quickly gave me one before i could get it. these club owners already make good money for charging 9-13 dollars for drinks, but they go the extra mile to take more money.
