There has been an interesting wave of uncanny methods by the bartenders at Vangaurd to drive the meaning of “it’s not about how much you spend but how much they think you should spend”. On Saturday night several friends and I attended the club with clear intentions of drinking with our limited spending budgets but the bartenders had a scheme under their sleeves. They unscrupulously had the audacity to give themselves the freedom to charge credit cards with a 20% tip up front and not giving us, THE CUSTOMER, the option to give them the tip based on what they were worth for their service. On one occasion, we merely bought four beers, one shot of tequila and one mix drink and the bartender decided to give himself a $9 tip. Yes, I could have refused to pay but because I was intoxicated at the time of the purchase I was passive and just signed it authorizing the entire purchase. Thereafter I felt cheated and taken advantage of. I realize bartenders work hard for their tips but remember, tips are earned based on service, worth and personality. These bartenders are aggressive, rude and you should be aware of their tactics when you attend the cool club. The venue is awesome; music is fabulous but the bar tenders are far from this description. DRINKERS BEWARE but have fun.
