Strip club sues Oracle over employee's unpaid tab

[jakeXT]

A San Francisco strip club is suing Oracle after one of its employees ran up $33,540 in charges on a company credit card - and Oracle refused to pay the bill.

The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, comes just as Oracle OpenWorld's mega conference gets rolling, bringing an estimated 60,000 conventioneers to town.

According to the lawsuit, the employee - identified as Jose Manuel Gomez Sanchez - used his Oracle-issued American Express card to charge $16,490 in unspecified "services" at the New Century Theater on Larkin Street during the wee hours of Oct. 2 during last year's Oracle OpenWorld fest.

It must have been some party, because the employee returned two nights later and rang up another $17,050 in charges.

1. I've never seen a stripper worth $1000.

How the hell did he do $33K?

4. "Barkeep! More wine for my men!"

Oldest way in the book for running up ridiculous tabs.

7. I wouldn't pay me to strip.

All scarred up, slightly overweight. I do have a nice ass, though.

8. Indeed. I have no doubt that your perusal of establishments that would have workers that would

command said price is limited.

2. I bet this guy doesn't work for Oracle any longer

You have to wonder if it wasn't his parting gift to Oracle.

5. I thought the point of cards was that American Express pays the club

and then it's between American Express, the employee and Oracle on who pays Amex - depending on what contract they had.

Shouldn't the club be suing American Express?
