[QUOTE=GettingOld;2537437]So the total was about $500/$300. Then looks like the bartender was drunk and when she inputted the charges she didn't wait and ran the charges together. I am curious what the F% is trust charges? And yeah your story was confusing hate to say it bud but sounds like the pga Aussie who got drunk in the wine bar and fell flat on his face bruised his face and passed out in the bushes and claimed he was mugged and kidnapped. LOL, go to let loose but you need to have some buds watching your back. Anyway hope this is resolved to your satisfaction. SP has been around a long time and although been over a decade since I went there if Johnny still around you really don't want to mess with him Vietnamese have been thru the war, life was cheap and we have all mellowed with age but if still runs the place, please don't make trouble, strip clubs were never my forte anyway, but to each his own. Be safe and good luck! Next time bring CASH![/QUOTE]Oh, Saigon Passion the SB and not Saigon Palace the hostess bar. I can see the hostess bar doing that, but AFAIK (I could be very mistaken) SP3 doesn't do that, though the stripper / hostess will take you for a ride.
Yes Johnny is still there. Although he is older now, I'm sure he's still a badass so no, you don't want to mess with him. He has massive bouncers but I'm sure he can drop them even at his age.
[QUOTE=StewPadasso;2536686]Long night made short, ended up here with friend as night capper. Bought some drinks but made mistake of using my card to pay tab. Checked online banking and see the bill along with two other withdraws of 578,327 under name financial partners institution. Made call to the bank, they did some home work and said that I used a ATM on makaloa, which is also the same street and place where financial partners is at. Long story short they took my card for a ride. Might have to make a late night stop with the boys to do some collateral.[/QUOTE]Something not making sense here. SP3 is at 1420 Kapiolani, Thai Angel is at 1429 Makaloa. TA is registered under Financial Partners Ltd. I think you know where I'm going with this.
I am sorry to hear you got ditched, they took a new guy over you. Bet that new guy has some bucks in his wallet, give him some time, when his wallet squeezed out, he will be going down the same path with you.
Most BGs carry this motto " spend big or go home", time has changed, they don't approach any average Joe anymore.
[QUOTE=TrueTemper;2535290]Been going off and on drinking not regularly but kbg's been polite and socialable but lately got ditch by a new regular customer they took the new guy over me that I been going over two years now to KB's. So you are right with the attitude, spend big or go home. But for me is no spend big and maybe go to the AMP.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Lualualei808;2538085]Is Jerome, of the Fab 5 fame, still the manager at Talent?[/QUOTE]GO, you right. He there (officially), M-F, 0700-1300 hrs. , as day bartender. Sometimes he 'sick' from night before and no come work; he needs to fix that. The gang is there because better than dealing with the bs by cuckoo owner at Talent.
In the business world they call it rebranding of a crappy product.

There is always tomorrow. . but not if you keep calling in sick be careful, you don't want to blow this job, because like brother MF said better than working for the bi-polar owner. You know that. I still can't believe the talent owner works so hard for so little gains. That place without the day crowd will sink, that's too bad.

No more too many places with big bar counters in operation anymore in that area (perfect for his type of customer base). Nothing lasts forever, so got to have plans A & be. Things do seem to go his way, though (for now).
His shift change: T / W off, due to football season.
Different demographic now that the majority of hostesses are from China.
Very few local customers; most were from China and all looked like refugees.
The girls took very good care of their countrymen, but the local guys got RIPPED OFF BLIND. Some of the hostesses applied all the old skool BG tricks behind the customer's back, such as diluting shots or substituting non-alcohol type liquids of similar appearance. They were drinking as fast as I've ever seen. The Chinese customers on the other hand got free time with the girl, only eventually having to buy an OCCASIONAL drink.
Was like night and day. I tell you! No wonder locals didn't go there. All they got to do now is replace the Korean mama and staff, and we'll have another Club C'est La Vie.
"C'est La Vie", I reckon.

Since I am old, fat and fugly, they are not interested in me and I have absolutely no interest in them. Oh well no loss on my part.

One probably wouldn't want to get mixed up with that crowd.
I initially thought the girls were in their early 20's but on closer inspection some appear closer to 30. They could be students, but they come off as punks who heard about the fast money you can make (take) in Honolulu.
[QUOTE=HMobius;2540514]Not to be a dickhead, but I'm pretty sure those customers weren't students or tourist industry employees and amsure you are more presentable than them. One probably wouldn't want to get mixed up in that crowd.[/QUOTE]Yea, as soon as they arrived I left. Wrong crowd for me.
Uncle. Locals are long gone from that place, that is why the place is dead most of the time. As I stated before, mama is looking for quick fix, hiring Chinese girls hope bring in Chinese customers. But most Chinese are not big spenders, they are there for a free ride, still the Chinese girls spend a lot of time with them. Most Chinese at a KB will not play, they are there to talk like you said. Again don't waste your money and time, go somewhere to catch better fishes.

Uncle, Summit remind me of Asia Spa, only bad reviews and reports coming out of that place. At least you have some sort of enjoyment coming out of Asia Spa when you spend your hard earned money there. Summit is nothing but headaches and you wonder why yourself have to put up with this shit with your hard earned money.
BTW. The Chinese girls with piss poor attitude should be avoided, the young Chinese dudes with them around the clock are their friends, they are fucking loud and rude.
Maybe mama want to turn her place into a little Chinatown, it is backfiring, I see most of her local customers disappearing one by one, they are looking for a better place to drink.
