Guest Neutral Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I think they should take more respponsibility for fights that occur on the doorstep of the club they are bouncing rather than standing back. They are trained to deal with these scenarios and should take more responsiblity in stopping them. It's like a fireman not putting a fire.Its a criminality thing, certain situations such as head stamping can easily see us involvedrandom punchups - nope, too much to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bouncers have a God complex and like exerting this on people they see, I guess in an alpha male sorta way. I've also seen bouncers stand back when there are serious fights going on, both inside and outside clubs. There are some good apples, but i reckon the bad far outway this, i've not even touched on the laziness aspect yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das boot Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 When you are out how do you think they act?What would you like to see changed?What do you think is an appropriate dress?Any other observations greatly appreciatedcan't understand why you are asking this on an open forum, why don't you ask some of your more experienced colleagues (i'm assuming that you are fairly new) each venue attracts it's on own clientele so dress codes will vary according to the managers wishes, just be confident and firm when you make a decision and treat the punter the way you would like to be treated and you will not go to far wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDP Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 most of the bouncers at music venue's i goto are alright, there are some really cool ones at moshulu who are always up for a laugh, aswell as doing their jobs, but there is one there that is a total dick. thee was one guy at drummonds pissed me off, twice he has refused to let me into one of my own nights because it was "over 18's only" (which was a load of shit anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neutral Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 can't understand why you are asking this on an open forum, why don't you ask some of your more experienced colleaguesBecause what we see and customers see is different... thus the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timson Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Priory has nice friendly doorstaffu work at priory or somethin?!?! or are you a young female who is attractive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash. Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 i agree, the doorstaff at the priory are very friendly.the doorstaff at espionage can be affa heavy handed though. i've witnessed them doing some not so kosher things e.g kicking a guy out for being drunk, then when he got outside the 2 of them put him on the ground and held him face down to the pavement. they then asked him if he wanted a drink to which he replied he wanted some water, and they just laughed and told him to drink out of the fucking puddle.i would have been more horrified if the guy wasn't a racist arse who probably deserved it.

The Kernel Loaf Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 A mate of mine got an arm broken once after he was pinned to the wall by a bouncer - even though he was defending himself against being attacked in liquid. That incited a riot and the cops ended up arriving on the scene.You speak so much shite.Is your name Richard or Tanner by any chance?
