As most of our club experience has been through parts of Europe( Holland and Germany mostly), all the clubs we visited had someone, either owner or part of the staff, take us through the entire place. At one club in Belgium, this was done prior to paying the membership/entrance fee with the option to leave at that point. I would imagine the business side of clubs here in the states can get in the way of the hospitality side and typically any club says once you've paid and you're in then we've done our part and the rest is up to you. With that in mind, the personal touch and a little welcome/orientation can go a long way toward making a shy, new couple a lot more comfortable and then bring more folks to your club by word of mouth to assist the business. Just makes sense to us.
