Also, my personal favorite, this is where drunk dudes take their penis out and pee on the dancefloor because the bathroom was too far. The place where the male patrons will scream in your face about you being, "an ugly bitch-dyke who is on a power trip because no one wants to fuck you" after you tell them to stop trying to fondle female patrons. The place where dirtbags cannot wait to try and catch a cheap feel on the female security. I cannot even begin to describe how many times I've been cursed at and belittled for cockblocking a completely sober guy from taking home a girl who can't even walk properly.ĭancefloor: The most volatile part of the bar. While I, as a woman, watched that shit really closely because I know how much that can lead to rape or assault scenarios. Why? Because a LOT (not all) of the male bouncers still completely ignore that scenario thanks to our drunken hook-up culture. That was also the part of the night where I would have to try and keep my eye on the men trying to take advantage of drunk women and usher them so lightly out the door and into cabs. because during a drunken stupor someone lost their coat check ticket and now has to wait until the end of the night. Now combine that with attempting to stop indoor and outdoor patrons from passing drinks over a very low fence while some idiot in line is also trying to grab your ass.Ĭoat Check: Ah, the joys of being called a cunt, whore, bitch, etc. Patio: Ever have someone blow smoke at your face to piss you off? Worst shit ever. Male security don't usually have to play psychiatrist. Establishments don't take too kindly to drunk women crying in the club, so I would be sent into the bathroom to see what the issue was and to calm the sobbing girl sitting on a dirty floor. Disgusting.īathroom: Somehow every girl in a bathroom crying over lost cellphones or lost boyfriends became my issue. Pat-downs: I don't ever recall a male bouncer searching another male and hearing commentary about finding his dick (or lack thereof) or being asked on a date while doing so. I've had patrons walk by me and go to a male searcher because they didn't expect me to be in charge of door and checking IDs. Here's a breakdown of the usual bouncer zones:įront Door/Money: I would be lucky to be stationed by money because I don't actually scare anyone and at the front door no one ever tries to bribe me properly. Regardless of which position in the bar I was stationed at (front door/money, patdowns, bathroom, patio, coat check, or dancefloor) I would always have a different experience than the men I worked with. Also, in cases where female patrons were being harassed or inappropriately touched they would come to me first because I could understand and empathize better than the men could. I was able to de-escalate certain situations prior to them becoming physical because I could calm men down better with my charm rather than resorting to my fists. I was not as intimidating as the male bouncers. Wherever I worked, I was one of the most coveted security persons to have on shift. I was also not a patdown girl who only search people's bodies looking for drugs and weaponry all night.
