And that is the focus of the dispute:
“But the elder Salter said only the signature on the first receipt matches his son’s.”
‘No sympathy for the dad, he raised an idiot.
Not if, as someone suggested, the club slipped the kid a mickey, and then B-drank his wallet to death.’
I seriously doubt that was done. Strip clubs make a ton of money, to risk the monthly ‘take’ for a momentary, one night gain makes no sense from a financial standpoint.
Did Daddykins provide junior with a credit card that had a $50K limit? How was he able to run up such a tab otherwise?
Something’s fishy here - even with 19 bottles of champagne we’re still looking at ~$15K of “other expenses”.
Hahahahahahahaha.
Screwed up big time? Meltdown at the nuclear power plant of dumb? Time to call in the lawyers!
It is pretty clear from whom the “kid” learned about personal responsibility. For some reason, idiots like these make me rub my hands together with glee.
I'd agree with you, except the article indicates that there is some question as to whether the signatures on the receipts really belong to the kid. If they aren't, then of course the club (or an employee of the club) is guilty of fraud.
I think there are degrees of stupid. Higher and lower. Therefore, the stones shall be distributed by size in accordance to said stone thrower's previous stupidities. Those participants of more egregious acts of stupidity than this one get to stand with he who is being stoned. Those with no acts of stupidity shall be given stones that weigh no less than 250 lbs.
The stupid student gets to decide who gets what stones.
lol
Ewwwwww......fur's gonna fly now! No, somehow I don't think those charges are gonna walk past that credit-card company. They sure won't if it's American Express. They get wall-tall on stuff like this.
“Salter said only the signature on the first receipt matches his son’s.”
Hmmm, three lap dances and five cocktails later, no wonder his signature is different .....
My dad would have told me that it was my problem.
uh yeah, there’s a responsibility issue here. if a customer tells you “i only have xxx to spend” you make sure that they’re cut off the minute they hit it. everything they order after that, demand cash up front.
same goes for car salemen and realtors. if i tell them i want to spend xxx dollars, the first time they go over that i’ll point out in no uncertain terms they’ve passed my limit, and if they go over it again i’ll assume that’s a binding offer to sell me whatever at the price i’ve given.
So if I walk into Lowe’s and say I have only $500 to spend, it is THEIR responsibility to see that I do not exceed that amount?
I have NEVER heard of such a thing.
He paid his money, and he got screwed. Why isn’t he happy?
Looks like the house always wins. Last week a guy at a casino won a jackpot, but the casino doesn't want to pay citing that it is an error which is above the max payout.

I guess that's what you get for going to casinos or strip clubs. These shisters want your money by hook or by crook. It's best not to even go.
And remember, there's no sex in the champagne room.
If raping itinerant businessmen and college boys was their standard M.O. and they'd been getting away with it for a while, maybe they could get a little greedy.
We are talking potentially about criminals here.
And see post #61.
Attention Mr. Salter.........your son is an idiot.
It’s also not unheard of for bar staff to run up charges on a credit card without the customer’s knowledge which seems to be the allegation here. There’s more to the story than what’s in the article but the fact that they’re claiming it wasn’t his signature on the receipts tells me that they didn’t actually know about the tab until after the credit card bill arrived.
Just another idiot rich kid.
There was a time when Tech grads were smarter than this.
