Should never give extra attention or treat better just because a gentlemen may have pull in the community... Treat everyone the same... That is the exact reason some like to try and use that... If you are going to give someone extra attention do it because you choose to, not because they are hanging something over your head...
And men that use reputation to try and get extra time, services from ladies... shame on you
(not saying that was the case here, they are the only two that really know but I know some do try this route.)
