Why do bouncers act like their guarding the chamber of secrets. Like mate, you stand at a door for a club and look a id’s
craig199 fucking oath 😂 I’ve come up against some who think they’re fucking Gods gift
Or maybe they risk their lives to protect you and the club while they get through school, support their kids, advance in their career? (like 90% of bouncers) 🧐🧐
#NEMSWORLD I’m not denying that, but it’s more the arrogance of a lot of bouncers taking there job too seriously
@@BIGNEM You can't seriously be making up random statistics and expect people to believe them right?
Roast Lord Good thing it’s not random statistics. Bouncing helped me make some extra cash while I was in college.
"Don't think the bouncer is an idiot, he's probably more intelligent than you"
I know that ain't you tho bro..
It's that sort of arrogance that makes them so intolerable.
@@thatslucko8548 only people who call bouncers arrogant are people who break rules... 90% of the people just obey the rules and never have issues... then there is the 10% u fall into who throw a temper tantrum cuz u dont get ur way lol
@American Nationalist make more then u do i promise :)
thank you lmao
Yeah, that’s pretty infuriating. “Probably more intelligent than you”... that’s definitely coming from someone with a huge chip on their shoulder.
Always thought that bouncers had attitude problems. After watching this I realize that I wasn't wrong
you'd get pissed too if you had to deal with shitfaced degenerates trying to convince you to stay within the establishment you are working for in which they had just defacated or urinated themselves, or urinated or vomitted in which. evidently someone who cannot tell right from wrong
I once was in a bar in Paris with my sister and my cousin and she went out quickly for a smoke while I stayed inside. Obviously she wasn’t going to smoke inside, then I got this text from her saying the bouncer wouldn’t let her back in, I went to the bouncer and started trying to tell him to let her back in, sure I got a little persistent but I was nice throughout it all and was never condensing in any sort of way, I even talked to him before while waiting to go to the bathroom and till that point I thought he was a nice dude, but then after trying to let my sister back inside because obviously I wasn’t going to let her stay outside, this dude suddenly snaps, grabs me by my neck and pins me to the wall and started cursing at me in french! This 6’5 buffy fat black dude had me against a wall. I was just so shocked that he did that and obviously didn’t put up a fight he would’ve shredded me, I just left and went to another bar. This just shows the level of respect they have towards other people, especially towards tourists. Bouncers in Paris are the absolute worst, not only that guy I had another experience with another one, their ego is all the way to the top to the Burj Khalifa. And yes, trust me, I don’t feel entitled as a tourist, but I do expect respect everywhere I go just as I show respect towards others, I had great experiences with bouncers in Madrid, Rome, etc, but Paris is just the absolute worst cesspool of bad and disrespectful bouncers. In conclusion, f!ck bouncers in general
fr
That's the temperament that gets them paid partner, can't blame them too much.
Somebody needs to reinforce masculine power in society. Alot of crymments
Finally, a bouncer that says no to sneakers. I can drink in peace knowing I won’t get dunked on
😂
MJ FADED WAY
this dude wants everyone in dress shoes and heels wtf
@@Andrew-kx1sq Dress like a grown up once in a while
@@Brando-wc8fz the majority of people wear sneakers, you sound like a child or robot saying that heels and dress shoes is 'grown up.' it really depends on the environment though
I love how everyone collectively agreed that these people are absolutely insane and egomaniacal.
HAve you seen the bartender version of this video? same thing
every one of these people sound like complete assholes lmao
Lmao yes they think they are so above everyone else but they're just bouncers lmao chill out.
I did bouncing before in my younger days. I was no were near the arrogance of them in the video. One night I was in the bar on my day off. The bouncer there was being kinda a dick newer guy. Long story short dude came back with his homies and he barely made it out alive. Cause I call pd the dude look to be in a gang and when I heard say that I kinda had a feeling he wasn't kidding. I never had no major issues tho just the kids trying to get in with a fake ID. Being a dick is never a good thing cause you never know who or what someone capable of.
@@zebra7462 Go be a bouncer and tell me how easy it is. I’ve been bouncing for 5 years and we’re essentially glorified babysitters for inebriated adults. There wasn’t a single thing in this video that they were wrong about. People think we just stand and look at IDs but at the end of the day we’re responsible for everyone in the club and if they get too drunk or cause an issue, that’s on us to deal with. We’re not therapists, we’re not there to be your friend, we’re there to make sure you and everyone else is safe and you bothering us and taking focus away from that isn’t helping anybody out
After watching this I just realized something... not everyone needs to be given a voice.
So true lol
Seriously why was this made? Nothing interesting was said at all.
This is exactly why everyone should be given a voice.
Everyone needs a voice, that’s why Americans have free-speech. It works in your favor too, idiots will just make themselves look stupid. So nothing to worry about.
at least not her annoying voice..
Its completely understandable if they wanna keep smelly people, drunk people, rude people out, but when it comes to a point where their judging your style and what your wearing, thats when it stops making sense.
Keep drunk people out so they'll buy their shitty overpriced drinks.
It is their job to bring in hot chicks and guys with lots of money. That is how the bars make money. Sorry that you have to hear it this way, but if you are a poor ugly guy, you are not getting in even if you are behaving very well
bouncers don't make up the dress code dummy, the owners/managers do
They work for strict clubs/bars
Have you seen how some people dress?
Standards may not be theirs, but order of owner.
I was a doorman in the UK, I used manners, respect and customer service, I was never once assaulted or abused. I even fell out with other doorman as they didn’t like my approach,
Best thing for you mate, if thugs don't rate you, you're doing something right
@@halfdayofthejackal9372 I live in the city part of where I’m from too so I’d see people around who I’ve had to deal with before so I built a good reputation where customers would even say hello and wave at me in the street 🤣
in the security world that's what they call a "Cooler" honestly one of the best kind of bouncers in my opinion... Less fights.. everyone generally has a better time because there's not this aggressive presence lurking in the corner.. my best friend was my co security and he was the more aggressive type so we ran the place with an approach I handled 99% of the interaction and 1st contact unless a fight physically broke out he just sat at the door and checked IDs.. very rarely with that kind of a combo does the more aggressive bouncer have to come out of his corner.. and while I was a cooler myself I never ran into a situation(unless it was multiple guys I was trying to coral) that I couldn't handle it solo.. Just talking and mutual respect definitely ended most conflict.
This is the exact same thing I do and have experienced.
Lies again? Zouk Out USD SGD
"I always wanted to be a cop, but they won't let me!"
- Every bouncer ever.
lol cops are pussies , draws a badge when in trouble , protected by law , bouncers on the hands , two different worlds .....
Why so triggered?
Lol. Not really. Bouncers can't have the mentality of American police officers or rent-a-cops. American police are trained to escalate and aggressively assert authority "until people comply". Most bouncers get their start after a club or bar owner runs into them on the street, sees how they hold themselves and interact with hostile people, and offers them a job pending they can qualify for their guard-card. I'm not joking. A bouncers job is to not get pushed around, not allow people to get pushed around, but also to stay fk'n calm and descalate even when people are intoxicated irrational confrontational assholes.
Lmao, a bouncer definitely gave you a smack in the mouth huh?
@@cloudsongon728 Lmao, nope. Huh.
The sneaker policy is just absurd.
*I wear White, Running Shoes!!!!*
*Are they aka Sneakers???? I Really don't know the word sneakers!!!!*
I agree
@J P is that a joke?
That includes my cactus jacks?
so is the sweatpants one
I always thought bouncers thought they were waaay more important than they really are and this segment has proven me right
Some of them do think that, but you haven't seen the DJ or other staff at the club especially the DJ entourage.
"my bar"
bro you work for $10 an hour stood in the cold it's not your bar 💀
“why are you wearing sunglasses at night”
why are you wearing a beanie indoors
I wear my sunglasses at night because I’m Corey Hart.
Same reason she's wearing a coat: Bouncers stand in doorways. It was probably cold out.
Gottem
That's nowhere near compared
Because it's cold
You should make a video called: How bouncers should treat customers
Um, that was covered in Road House
Yeeeeesss👏👏👏. So fucking true .
@@honeybadger1755 so scary, sounds pretty gay
Corvo's Ignorant Videos yeah you do
@@robbiepollock7443 bouncing is far form minimum wage...
I work in nightclubs. It’s all a power trip, cause when it’s time to break up a real fight only 2 guards will step in out of 20.
I am brazilian, and one of the biggest culture shocks in Europe were that bouncers deny entrance to people on clubs for no reason. Here in Brazil they will only deny you for a lack of ID, or maybe if you are violating the dress code(which we rarely have).
In Europe I learnt pretty quickly that I would be sometimes denied if I am alone, so I would have to call my friends out so they let me in.
one of the reasons i never went clubbing. not only a wasteof time and money, but a waste of your life. people theredont like you, they only want you to spend. be it the club, be it the broads. it doesnt matter. its all garbage.
It does really depend on the club though. I always go to parties with a ticket and they basically can't deny entrance, except if you're pissed af.
I’m Mexican and I once got denied at a so called “Latino music club” called Medellin in Paris. Apparently that night they were only letting Parisian people inside… like bro what?? How could you have a latino club with only Parisian people inside?? Bet they don’t even know the lyrics to half the songs…
Sh!tt!est club ever. Paris has probably one of the worst nightlife in Europe and has probably the worst bouncers you’ll ever find around the world.
But yes in general there are a lot of different reasons you might not get in, here in Europe. I must have been the only person not shocked at the sneakers rule, thats very common for a lot of bars here. Also unironed shirts, jeans, cargo, shorts, some places even recquire women to wear heals and men to wear belts. I've also seen people being rejected for lgbt-looking outfits in places that arent specifically lgbt-frindly, and the more common situations like being alone, being a dude, especially if you're not conventionally hot, and being too old for the club's target audience.
@@martimrocha9067 they ll let women in easily because thats how they make money. they know men will buy women drinks. lol as a man, how the hell are you still clubbing? you re being a cashcow for these mfs.
If the bar DOESN'T have a dress code why does security think it's their job to make one
King hazy yessss. They like have too much power haha
To make their job easier, they have a general idea of what demographic they want in the bar, which avoids fights or people being too messy
King hazy true 👍🏼
Jalkie oh yeah if I don’t fw dress shoes I’m definitely gonna go in there and suplex the first person I see
@@wafflezyup5089 you're not capable of suplexing anyone dude you would probably get knocked over by a brisk breeze. sit down
Yes. Because wearing sneakers changes your social interactions.
Yes, its cultural.
You should see me in this moment, sitting here in my suit at work and lit addidas sneaker on.
Horse and Pony show in those places.
I want no part of it. Fuck them snobby MoFo’s.
We all know who their trying to keep out of their bars😁
Omega Strange nah we don't care to enlighten me?
I was designated driver and not drinking one night at the valley (club central in Australia) and walked past a bouncer and he makes a remark how I can’t walk straight and have been over the shop all night, too which I reply “mate I’m sober”… haven’t seen a bouncer look so stupid in my life. Unfortunately all these people reminded me of him.
Happened to me, wasn't let in tho because he thought I was drunk af. I only had 1 pint... Lmao
If you ever get denied at a bar by a glorified doorman DO NOT ARGUE just walk away. It drives them insane that you don't argue back at them and don't get upset walking away totally takes away the fun of making people as miserable as they are. I've often got denied for absolutely nothing (I'm really a quiet person tbh I barely even speak) in a group as they love picking one person in a group to not let in, if your friends walk in without you they're not your friends and you're better off getting some that'll stick with you. If the bouncers give a bad vibe outside its a warning of bad vibes inside as well. Bouncers are literally the number one reason I drink at home instead of out at bars/clubs I wouldn't disrespect myself giving bars that enable them money!
I do event security and occasionally nightclub doors it would be wonderful if people would just accept that they are not getting in tonight or get kicked out. Just walk away and save us both some time I really dont wanna keep repeating myself to someone all night
@@ruffianrocco8791 I was talking about bouncers that single someone out for nothing (Ireland has a massive problem with it). When people are rowdy and won't leave it's just embarrassing lmao. I understand why there is security but some bouncers are just not fit for the job, after all you're going out for a fun night not to contemplate if a bouncer is going to power trip on you. If a business can't respect its customers with competent and decent security then I want absolutely no part of it.
@@ruffianrocco8791but why?? Like what’s the reason? It’s a lot easier to accept if you know the reason…
@@ruffianrocco8791it would be wonderful if I could enjoy a night out without having to deal with roided up thugs looking for a scrap
@@xWingzTVmost ppl when drunk get argumentative and defensive even after being told. i also am a bouncer and i run a concert venue. it gets to a point of we’re tired of repeating it
Best tip: Dont go to bars with bouncers.
And what bar/nightclub doesnt have bouncer or some sort of security?
parties around here are ruined because of law requiring security, nobody fights here so theyre useless or wants to party coz of some creepy guys staring at everything they do acting like youre nazi for ordering a beer
@@321cast6 in my country and city every nightclub/bar has bouncer/security, they are all chill tho i know like 90% of them they only dont allow underage kids to enter and thats it, of course prevent fight and shit but most of night they just sit and talk with guests, once i played with one guy red gloves/slap game
Truest statement. If they have to be there, it's probably full of substandards
a lot of pubs don't have bouncers
Most bouncers think they are fbi level Cia security clearance, dude just relax and stop thinking it's your place you are just an employee.
In most places it's the managers not the bouncers that are the problem, bouncers mostly just follow the managers orders
They should treat work the way you probably do? No thanks, I'll take someone who actually takes their role seriously. Have you stopped to consider how quickly things escalate with drunk people? Or the fact that if they fuck up and something happens, losing their job is easily the best case scenario?
what's funny is they act like that but most can't even tell a fake ID
Yeah, you’ll feel different when someone pulls a gun, or a knife, or a broken bottle, or any kind of self defense tool and starts fucking you up and you’ll be looking for someone to save you, and guess who’s gonna come running? The big guys with the black on that you think should “relax” we wouldn’t have to relax if people could learn to act right/ fuckinh defend themselves
Bro facts
(In Denmark) I was once rejected from a bar after the bouncer asked me for ID. I showed him my drivers licence and my passpork, he told me I had no proof that it was me, I then showed him my student ID, my health insurance certificate and even a credit card that matched my name.
He said it was all fake and that I looked like a polish refugee.
I responded "so I'm a polish refugee, with a danish name, that speaks danish, lives and studies in Denmark?"
Then he pushed me down a flight of stairs where I hit 8-10 other people. He then came down the stairs to put me in an armbar and punch me in the stomach.
I was nothing but civil and showed absolutely no aggression.
Ive also gone out from a bar to smoke a cigarette, and then not being allowed back inside for no reason what so ever. Wouldnt give me an explanation - and my coat, wallet and phone was inside the bar, which I was not allowed to collect either.
So many bouncers are legit powerhungry psychopaths.
"Don't tell me about the weather". Here's a mad thing, it could just be someone being nice and trying to talk to you as a human being
A guy I knew was a bouncer and even HE admitted they're mostly assholes and the smaller you are, the more aggressive they'll likely be. The bigger someone is, the more chance you'll see bouncers use reason and manners to calm someone down.
Because they know they will have their asses wooped. People pick their battles to some extent.
@@IHXnumber1 Exactly, the aggression is there is because the smaller you are, the more confident people are to pick on you. Not something to do with that bullshit op just said
@@ilovebittingrumps181 Yeah. If you’re small or “small”. You can make up with personality. It can make you look bigger. But don’t over do it. Only fight when you have no other choice.
@@IHXnumber1 that's I'm trying to say, the actions are all relative to the current situation. Although there are some dickheads out there that get carried away.
@@ilovebittingrumps181 Plenty. But in the end I think it’s your ability to fight and not your size. Only problem is later third parties getting involved. Best to stay away from the bs. So it’s not just a “small” problem.
"Don't think the bouncer is an idiot, he's more intelligent than you" - mate, you should be a comedian, certainly pays more than your current job
Chill bro, murder is illegal
Why do you think Drunks are smarter than a sober bouncer?
So should you
Bouncers end up making a lot of money to be honest. I always did concert security because the clubs seemed boring but then I realized the bouncers are making like 90k a year

"Why are you wearing sunglasses at night"

yeah with that sneaker problem
Lmao no club or bar has ever refused me for wearing Jordans lmao
Can genuinely say I've never had a SINGLE positive interaction with a bouncer
Maybe they should focus more on oh idk.... Security? Rather than not letting people in because of sweat pants and sneakers
It's part of the job, owners have dress codes and expect clientele to be dressed reasonably to the owners standards. We just enforce the rules, if I let you slide wearing something you shouldn't then someone inside, likely the owner/manager will see you and demand you get tossed anyways.
Its also can be a safety issue. Ive seen guys try get in with sandals or open toe shoes and be stopped at the door.
i mean sweat pants is understandable
@@Hailz12211 sneakers are not sandals, what are you trying to serve the conversation to.
I mean I get sweatpants but fucking hell I wanna wear my sneakers at the bar because God forbid somebody attacks me I can run away
This was the least informative video VICE has ever done.
98% of Vice videos are garbage
The idea and objective was good but these bouncers were not ones for informative advice in all honesty. I don't entirely blame VICE for the clear lack of professionalism among these bouncers.
vice has just evolved into a shittier version of buzzfeed, and buzzfeed was shitty to begin with.
Wow…
Really great attitude towards your customers.
The thing is, there is this clichee of bounders talking down to you and thinking they are above you because they are in a situation of power and authority, and I‘d always think that‘s just a picture movies and TV shows give us…
But damn, some of these guys really try to play into that stereotype!

Actually, that's a remarkably ignorant comment. Where I worked we didn't hire morons, one had a phd, another was a barrister, many including myself were studying at university. Assessing who to approach first in a fight, and how to handle them so as to minimize damage (to all parties) while adrenaline is pumping and music blaring can be extremely challenging.
I dare you to try it, but if you ever did, then I would be more inclined to listen to your pathetic mewling. Go back to your bridge.
"We as a society don't understand how important security is." The US has an $800B+ military budget and local police departments, such as NYPD and LAPD, have budgets larger than the militaries of entire countries. If anything we take security too seriously
All this video did was make me hate them more. am I alone?
Too many bs don'ts
You are not alone, all I am getting from them are the talking down attitude.
I’m with ya man. Some of the stuff said in this video does kind of make sense but most of it is just bullshit.

It's really difficult for me to have any less respect for roided up thugs.

Have known a lot of bouncers over the years. They all fell into the following groups, or a combination thereof:
1. Egomaniacs
2. Sex pests
3. Small men with something to prove / chip on shoulder
4. Women with something to prove / chip on shoulder

"Don't think the bouncer is an idiot. They're probably more intelligent than you." :D
I remember being younger and uglier and not being able to get into any club, the way they would disregard you and treat you like you're not even a person. And even go to physical agression when all you're trying to do is ask why you aren't allowed in is the reason why my hate for these fuckers will never leave. Now I never get refused by bouncers i've come to realize the best places to party are places where a bouncer isn't required in the first place. Because usually that means that the bar doesn't have issues with either social/Racial discrimination or actual thugs.
A bouncers job is to check IDs and enforce maximum occupancy, not to profile people

@@joshuafurlong5270 you need girls to get men to spend money in your club
Clubs don’t want poor people, they want people who can spend real money, it’s not real discrimination, grow up lol
I feel like there's a lot of wiggle room between puking on the floor and wearing sneakers.
Flawed logic, dress codes are for various reasons that are completely unrelated to someone puking who has been over served. So many obnoxious patrons forget that it's not a free place to chill, it's a business and typically, reasonably dressed spend more and cause less of a scene. Based on that premise, if you look like you just rolled out of bed wearing the same pjs you've had on the last 4 nights, I won't let you in. Not because of some power Trip or whatever bullshit you wanna think up to throw blame on me, but because you may come in and snag a couple beers and meanwhile that group of nicely dressed people going out to spend plenty of money after work/some event decide to go elsewhere because half the people look like bums. Nobody walks into a venue, sees people decently dressed and decides it's sketchy, let's leave, but people absolutely have walked into venues I've worked and walked back out because everyone was dressed in some mix of uncaring college senior/crack addict/ pants sagging visibly to their knees. Dress code isn't to turn a club into a black tie affair, it's to ensure that you don't get the rep as the shithole bar that no decent person goes to. You get that rep and it becomes reality and before long every customer is either the type to come buy one 3$ beer and nurse it for 4 hours or ready to cause a scene with the first person to bump into them.

Sounds kinda like the "power" got to their heads but idk
In what way? they had some valid points (reasons to why I dont go to clubs).
What else is new, if you put a human in a position of power the vast majority of them are losers and will ambiguously reinforce whatever the fuck they want when they want because power, no consistency.

Maybe it's the "responsibility" that got to their heads. Keeping a large group of people safe is hard enough when they're sober. Have you dealt with any drunk people lately?
Rigoberto McFarlane one of them literally said sth in the lines of "I don't like people wearing sweats, this is a social event, you gotta be social", while another said "Don't wear sneakers". There are times when it's a club rule, here it seems it's their preference based on which they decide who to let in and who not to

Worked a New Years Eve at one of our biggest hotels as a security guard. They posted me as a bouncer in all but name, and it's one of the craziest nights I've ever had. It's literally the first time most of my group ever worked at a hotel so the rules weren't clear to us. Cameras were there to watch us, NOT to watch the customers. That's probably the most pressure I've ever had on the job, and it went well considering we were forced to do unpaid overtime so most of my coworkers weren't happy. From my position I got to see actual bouncers do their work, though. Boy did they have it rough. Lots of hotel clients that I had clearance to allow into the open bar didn't understand why the bouncers wouldn't allow them into the VIP bar. Now c'mon, it's New Years Eve. Lots of high-rollers here. And we still had some BS rules to enforce but that's what we're paid to do. I was allowed to let people in even if they were naked, while the bouncers had to stop people with the wrong kinda shoes. Had nothing to do with us; the moment we allowed even one in, we'd have a suit soon come over and that meant losing our biggest payday of the year. The owners put the rules, we're just hired muscle.
The cameras are there to protect staff including bouncers and customers.

@The Prodigy Settle down
I am a lifelong martial artist, and whenever I hit a new place with with bouncers, I introduce myself and let them know that if I end up scuffling it won’t be because I started it, and that I will not swing on any bouncer.
I have ended up talking martial arts systems with bouncers for an extended period of time.
Respect almost always receives respect.
And not a bad way to be noticed by ladies across the room.
I finally fell in love and stopped rolling solo in strange cities.
But I never had a problem with any bouncer and some if us hit it off well.

You dont want to go to a club where a robot lets everyone in that has ID and you have to wait for the police to respond to defuse a situation. A robot wouldnt know what to say to defuse situations you would have drugs all over the place, women getting raped and groped (way more than they do with big ass bouncers walking around), people being stabbed, people falling off tables and breaking their necks, people dying from alcohol poisoning cause nobody will be there to kick out over intoxicated patrons, stuff getting stolen, literally puke piss and even shit everywhere you wouldnt believe the places people think is a good spot to use the bathroom when they are drunk. Needless to say you would need a fully intelligent AI that cant even be called artificial anymore. Once you have fucking I-robot instead of a bouncer you are gonna talk shit about it too cause its gonna be the exact same as a human bouncer
As a bouncer I take offense to this. How about we replace your job with a robot.

It's amazing what people will do if you're kind to them. I've gotten into clubs I had no business being in just because I was kind to the bouncers. "Oh, my bad sir. You were on the list right here. Go on in." I was definitely not on that list.
I'll be honest, I've seen another video though it was in Russian, on the topic of what pisses off a bouncer, and he spoke way more chill and even gave examples why he did not let people into to the place (being drunk, puking, disrespecting staff/other patrons in line) like less dress code, more real issues.
Yeah, that's what the job of a bouncer is supposed to be, instead of feeling superior to other people by not letting them in for wearing sneakers and making up other bullshit rules
ahh, otlichna drug. ya hochu eycho practikavasta, pozaluista, pomogite.
Most russian bouncers have a certain aura around them and you can tell by their physique, they do martial arts instead of some of the examples shown in this video. I have been to certain russian clubs and the bouncers were always cool, never looked down on people and no matter how drunk people. were, they never acted up because they knew not to mess with the bouncers.
@@olynerikson3723 first learn Russian Cyrillic
I am a professional bodyguard and security bouncer and that is what our job entails. I do not know why these security guards think they can make their own rules. Safety is ALWAYS the number one priority. You MUST be very patient, alert and friendly to some extent. If you do not have patience, safety is not your concern and you’re making your own rules you should not be in the business period.
This just makes me wanna argue with bouncers... anyone else?

I got punched by a bouncer for having a can of beer in my jacket. Sure it wasn't allowed and I was rather drunk. But never was I disrespectful. Asked him if he would smack a girl like that afterwards and sadly had to run as the small dick guy lost his cool in 0.001 sec.

Honestly I bounced at the club and truth be told it is hard to fill the void and a lot of unexperienced people are sloppily hired. I do agree with big groups of guys being a problem.

This is why you differentiate security staff from bouncers. We're not the same.
I was a bouncer for 10 years, guy with the beard has the best attitude, guy in the gray t shirt has a horrible one.
Bouncers really have 1 job, and 1 job only, keep everyone safe, that's all it is, if you don't understand that, you don't have any business being a bouncer.
No, a bouncer's job is to be a good witness, not lay hands on people. You're only hired for insurance purposes (certain insurance providers require it), not because anyone wants bouncers around.
