I'd made this arrangement before, and the bar totals always included a percentage of the cover charge. I gigged for this bloke 2 nights a week for six weeks before I found out he wasn't including the door charge in figuring my percentage. When I confronted him, he smiled and said words to the effect, 'You'll know better next time.' Two years (I think) later, he died in a road crash, and I made it a point to pay me 'respects'.

A musician ripped off by a club-owner ... I bet his grave smelled like a urinal.
*chuckle* If it isn't the owners, it's the agents. I used to tell people that when I die, I wanted to be cremated and have 15% of my ashes thrown in my agent's face.
