Another Reason Not To Go To A Strip Club

From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: But an evening of drinking ended in a $25,000 bar tab for a Waukesha County man.
According to Waukesha police records, the unidentified man told police he bought two rounds of drinks at Club Velvet, 409 Delafield St., on Friday night, and charged them to his debit card.
On Monday, he tried to use his card again to buy lunch at a McDonald's. But the card was declined.
The man checked with his bank and discovered that Club Velvet had charged $25,000 to his debit card: Two legitimate charges, totaling $304.40, for the drinks he actually purchased, and a $24,695.60 tip. And since that was more money than he had in his account to begin with, the bank was charging him a $100 overdraft fee.
Police contacted the bar owner, who said she was working with the bank to correct the problem. The patron told police he did not wish to pursue the matter if the bar charges were corrected.  http://www.jsonline.com/news/waukesha/this-bar-tab-was-hard-to-swallow-td6qu1v-169354756.html
This has happened more than 1 time in Las Vegas, or so I have read.  And my guess she wasn't worth $24,695.60.  Maybe the 60 cents.
