Gotta be careful when you drunkenly proclaim: "Bring out a round of your BEST champagne for all my friends here!"

But I don't really think that it becomes the staff's responsibility to see that a customer stays within budget.

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.

It was the $2000 bottles of champagne that got him.

From the article: According to a report from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Salter told employees he could only spend $600. But Club 10 owner Tim Beal said Salter bought at least 19 bottles of champagne -- priced from $150 to $2,000.

Even if 18 out 19 bottle were at the high end of $2,000, that's still less than $38,000. That leaves >$15,000 for lap dances and other incidentals.

My bet is that even the highest priced bottles could be found at Safeway for under $10. Thus it ever was for naive youth. The guy was 24, but I know that I was wise to that crap at a more tender age; of course I joined the Navy at 17, and got an 'accelerated education' during my first Western Pacific cruise ... heh heh.
