You seem to misunderstand, these private members clubs have been in existence since the 1700s' when gentlemen squires lived in their country seats and came up to London to a parliamentary session or to see their daughters presented at court or to tend their financial affairs.
They required somewhere to eat and sleep and conduct their business affairs whilst residing in premises which reflected their status and needs.
Hotels and other lodgings were very poor quality so Gentlemens Clubs were established to act as a home from home for gentry in London. These evolved into the Private Members Clubs, they usually have banqueting rooms for entertaining clients, private dining rooms, a smoking room which is usually also a games room for cards and snooker to which ladies are not normally allowed.
As for the "chav" staff, that is a ludicrous surmise, the club servants are hand picked wth the posts being handed down from father to son through the generations.
I have no idea what the pay rates are but I am sure they are well above the minimum rate plus tips.
