I'm thinking of doing it part-time after speaking to my ex-doorman mate today.

Just wondering if there's any doormen/ex-doormen on BF2S that can give me some advice.

I have, make sure to bring 2 packs of smokes, 2-3 energy drinks of your choice and thick skin.

Sound advice.

Is it a boring/exciting/stressful job? And where did you do it?

Not stressful, I have been security at 4 bars and a strip club. Also make sure you have a good pair of shoes that you can run in and stand.

Do you need to be pretty harsh when it comes to the id'ing, like everyone?

Here's a questionaire to see if you have what it takes to be a great bouncer

Q1. Are you over 6 foot and black?

If you answered yes, enjoy your new career.

Yes, I know here in the US if you get caught letting a under age person in its like a $5000 fine for you and a $20000 for the bar. I have seen them all, but the best rule of thumb to go by is if it looks close ask for a bank card or a another piece of plastic. Most people if it is fake will not have matching cards or will start to stumble about how they left it at home or the like.

Also, with the IDing of people well over it depends on the attitude, law here requires you to have your ID on you at all times in a bar, but a lot of people don't follow that. If a old person is cool I would let them in, if they were a cock I would tell them to pound sand.

Edit: Even with ID ask everyone their age, here a ABC person can't lie they have to tell you the truth.

Hmm, it's a bit more lenient here with the old men.

Don't be gay and not let people in for stupid reasons. Stupid bouncers telling me my shoes were inappropriate. Honestly what the fuck. Fuck sake.

Its generally up to the owner, but never put the bar over your own ass. Get a can of 17% pepper spray and you shouldn't have too hard of a time.

I have been to places like that, its just the dress code or the bouncer is trying to fish for a tip. Gay, yes.

That's because the place is too good for your lower class ass.

I just walked away and then came back, he was too busy with something else and I got in easily. If there's anything about bouncers, is that they're inconsistent as fuck and if it's busy you can always still get in eventually (if there's more than one, and the idiot one is doing something else).

Security guard at a strip club eh? Do the pros outweigh the cons? I mean sure there are hot naked chicks everywhere but there must be plenty of assholes coming every night too.
