To Hell with that
[QUOTE=Rei Haragoma; 1746265]Then, he swiped it into what looks like a credit card machine, and I can see all of my data displayed on the screen, name, address, license number, etc.
WTF? I asked him what that was all about, and I told him that he should have told me that he was going to use a card reader, and what about the information, why was it being done, was it being stored, and that my privacy is important to me. His reply was it's a new policy. Knowing that I was not going to win this battle with him, I moved into the main area, seething.
I am really pissed, because I see no need to expose information that I consider to be my private business, and for which the club has no right to obtain. Checking age I understand. Getting my name and address is above what is needed.[/QUOTE]I agree, Rei. This is total bullshit. I would have been going out of my mind. If this is some new "policy", I can promise you I'll never walk through the door of CL ever again. They're going to lose a shitload of customers once this gets around.
Regards,

If they jot down your license plate number, they get similar info. It sounds kinda TV-ish, but when they get a digital photo of you, as many clubs / AMPs etc do, anyone who has access to dmv can figure out who you are. But I agree, a card reader is too much info to share on the spot.
BTW, some of the hotel key cards have your info, so if you're playing where you shouldn't, take the hotel card with you when you check out.

Cf
Visited CF the other day. Ok talent at best. There were a few spinners but not many. Went their for Sophia, saw her about a month ago and needed to no what was available. Got a dance from her, no CR. To sum it up, she acts like theirs no extras, but after my dances she tells me we should do CR. I say why? Then she said if you tip me right, you can have your fun. I'm like WTF, you tell me upfront theirs no xtras, then after I get a dance waist $40 you tell me their are. WTF is she trying to double upsell me. I've been one of the few defending CF, no more that just put me over the edge. Also went to Cheaters, Idk how everyone else feels, but when I go in there and see 3 or 4 pimps hanging out, it makes me not want to spend any money no matter how horny I am. Pauly has to realize its bad for business, I just think he gets punkd by these pimps.

I'm done with that place. Plus I seen a guy get slap by this girl on stage because he slightly felt on her boob I was like WTF the dancers name was kelly I believe anyways she is a middle age white girl with decent boobs just a little FYI for you all.

[QUOTE=Rei Haragoma;1746265]BUT: again after paying the too-high parking fee, upon entering the lobby, I am met by a security guy that wants to see some I. D. I was not asked the previous week; but no biggie, so I show my driver's license. Then, he swiped it into what looks like a credit card machine, and I can see all of my data displayed on the screen, name, address, license number, etc.[/QUOTE]The entire upper parking lot has always been free with the lower part by the entrance being valet only, for a fee, at night. Has this changed? The card reader is new one one me. My last visit was about two weeks ago and I was not asked for I'd.

I know there was a fight there not the long ago one of the bouncer / valet got hit in the face with kind of object and had to get a few sitches. Could have some to do with it. Legal not sure.
[QUOTE=Rei Haragoma; 1746265]Just a FYI for those that want to know about such things:
I had occasion to go to the Cadillac Lounge last Friday to meet a friend for a couple of drinks, and discuss old times. Nothing unusual, except paying the exorbitant parking and admission fees.
Nonetheless, I did so, we had a few hours there, and left. Not looking for any action; just a place to meet.
On the average, he and I meet there 3-4 times a year.
We agreed to meet again last night.

I met my friend, who it just happens, is a cop in a MA city. He, of course, was excused from this what I term to be an intrusion into my privacy. I asked him to get some answers from the security people. He reported back that all security knew is that it is a new policy.
So, here we have another happening of private information being used for what purpose?
I am going to make some inquires, and I am going to make some noise if I determine this is something that is not legal; or for a not needed requirement of either local or RI law, and my cop friend is going to do the same.
So, be aware, if like me, you think this is going too far, stay away from the CL.[/QUOTE]

SunShine scam
Went to the PP tonight, and to whom ever was looking for SunShine, she is back. After reading about her, I decide to give her a try. I didn't want to miss out, in case she decided to head back to NY for good.
Sure she has a nice ass and body, but up stairs in the light you can see stretch marks and blemishes. Sorry to report, but she was a disappointment and a hustler. I would stay far away as possible. She will try to hustle for drinks and anything she can get. Can't stress how disappointed I was.
Most of the girls here are sooo unhappy, they can't even bring themselves to smile. Use to be my fav spot, since they always had a good number of chocolate. I would have to agree with some of the guys here. The pimps are making these girls miserable, in turn all they want to do is turn a buck, QUICK. Which in turn, they will walk up to every guy and ask can "i get a tip"?
SIGGHHHHHHH.
STAY AWAY FROM SUN SHINE. cant stress it enough.

I would be fuming if I thought a bar / club stored my personal information without my consent. It also sounds like you were not given the opportunity to decline having your personal information hijacked. I will make a point of avoiding Cadillac unless I hear this policy has changed.

Parking
[QUOTE=Boston Guy 57;1746636]The entire upper parking lot has always been free with the lower part by the entrance being valet only, for a fee, at night. Has this changed? The card reader is new one one me. My last visit was about two weeks ago and I was not asked for I'd.[/QUOTE]I went last month and they just took a quick look at my I'd and let me through, at night they always examined it. Yea, the Shappy Auto parking lot is always free. The section along the right wall of that building and right towards / behind the club is the $5 "valet" or secure parking, they do the same thing at FL but its $3. During the day, I think its either free or $5 in that section (went one time during the day and they had a bouncer walking around in the lot so I assumed I had to pay). FL on the other hand is free in the valet section during the day. CD only has paid parking Friday and Saturday night. PP and CF don't have any pay parking as far as I know.

Anybody go to the CL over the weekend? If so, are they still using the scanner?
And if they are, is there a posted sign advising you of it, or are the security people advising you beforehand?

Legal not sure.[/QUOTE]That sounds about right. There was a bar I used to go to when I lived out west that had a rash of assaults, women being slipped drugs in their drinks, etc and they started scanning people's I'd on entering. I don't know how long they kept the information, but I know it was used a couple times by police to find out who people were that ended up getting into a fight or what have you.
Given what happens in CL, even though I haven't been there, I'd be worried about that part. Say they catch your face on a cam inside the club engaged with some of the entertainment, then do a cross reference with the info they have on you that's on file.
Yeah, no thanks.

Invasive Tactics
I really appreciate the reports about this tactic at CL! That is TOTALLY unacceptable and I hope EVERYONE will refuse to go to CL until and unless they fix that situation! Just remember, gents, WE are the ones that are paying their bills! If we stay away in droves, they will SURELY have to end that practice. EVERYONE should just say no, and vote with your feet-not your dick!
