Is there any kind of requirement to have something with hair

Asked by steve lo over 12 years ago

First off, your question makes no sense. I'm assuming you're asking about some sort of requirement about the length of your hair? If so, there is no requirement - I worked with a couple of guys who had dreadlocks. The down side of having long hair is it makes it easier for someone to grab.

What do bouncers look for when checking an ID or drivers license?

Asked by Ava over 12 years ago

Stop asking me these qustions. I'm not going to help you get into a bar with a fake ID. There is an entire internet out there that I'm sure has tons of info about this. Stop asking me.

Can a bouncer strike you in the face even when they were not physically touched, assaulted ,or threatened? How much force is excessive force in your opinion?

Asked by misterska1@hotmail.com over 12 years ago

Striking someone in the face after they have not been physically touched, assaulted or threatened is excessive force in my optinion. That being said, I have never seen a bouncer do anything like this.

I have seen a lot of drunk idiots lie about what happened to try to duck responsibility for their actions.

Ever hook up with any of your customers, OR one of the bartenders at your bar?

Asked by blizzzzard over 13 years ago

All of the above. You can throw cocktail waitress on that list too. Never dated anyone, though. If you were into me because I was a bouncer than I definitely wasn’t into you.

Do you think a lot of bouncers take the job because they get off on the power that comes with it? or is the whole "power trip" thing blown out of proportion?

Asked by Herc over 13 years ago

This completely depends on the person. Most of the guys I worked with just wanted a job, they didn't care about the power trip thing. I personally applied for a job as a bartender and was offered the bouncer gig instead. I never went looking for any kind power trip. That's not to say there aren't a bunch of meat heads looking to prove they're tough guys out there...

I've been told that such bouncer lines as "Sorry, you're not on the list" or "It's a private party tonight" are typically bullsh*t excuses to just keep certain patrons out. True/untrue?

Asked by slimjimXX over 13 years ago

True. Sort of. I've used "Private party" to keep people out, but I've also worked many actual private parties.
