We have metal plates....I still drop them....It's not like I am throwing them down or letting them go uneven. That is what the mats are for. Maybe I am at a liberal gym or something, but when the owners see us doing it they don't complain.
My suggestion is to not hurt yourself trying to cater to them. If they don't like it, they can always ask you to leave and refund your money, but by all means don't round you back and hurt yourself.
