Damn! How many bouncers we got here?

[AziaReign]

I see some of you guys that happen to mention that you are/were a bouncer. How many do we have here on EF???
Hey, tell us some interesting stories too!!

 

[JohnyJuice]

i bounce right now. I gotta run, but i will throw some stories in for yo u later.

 

[casavant]

You know I am. I've got some other good ones besides my porn star story.

We had to page one woman to the front of the club because her baby had just died of some kind of intestinal rupture or infection due to the fact that a rectal thermometer had ruptured its insides. She was partying at a club, like any good mother.

I kicked a guy out for underage drinking. He refused to leave, so I had to escort him out. He bit me on the stomach so I threw an elbow into his head to stun him and then choked him out and dragged him out the door. He then went to his car, popped the trunk, and came out with his hand in his pocket, saying he was going to put a bullet in my cracker-ass chest. We called the cops and they arrested him. He didn't have a gun, but he did have his girlfriend and another guy throw a Molotov cocktail through the window after we closed. Eight grand worth of smoke and fire damage.

I had a 150 pound college guy who I had had a traffic altercation with a week before recognize me at the bar, then return with a five iron tucked down the length of his pants and up his shirt. I found it when I noticed how he had his hand tucked suspiciously in his pocket and casually patted it, feeling the steel underneath. I roughed him up good enough that he never came back.

We had a big brawl in the parking lot between a bunch of Hispanics and black dudes, involving a good chunk of the Razorback football team. A bartender got split by a Corona bottle and one of our bouncers got wacked with a wrench (although not seriously injured- we quickly disarmed the dude.)

A year later I ended up choking out the wrench dude in a separate incident and his friends swore they were going to come back and shoot me. A lot of people say that, but it's still never fun to hear.

There's a couple of stories for ya. I'm not trying to sound like a badass. You just do what you gotta do when confronted with an unavoidable situation. Citruscide and Bouncer work in Chicago and Ireland, respectively. I'm sure they've got some good ones.

 

[AziaReign]

Now THAT is some interesting shit! The baby story is really sad but keep 'em cummin'!!!!!

 

[fistfullofsteel]

Once upon a time there was a huge fight and one of the bartenders tried to do a superman off the top of the bar. He was aiming to get in the middle of the fight and wound up doing a face plant into the wall. O man lmao, it was so funny.

Another time the manager tried to break up a fight between a couple and the guy broke a beer bottle on his head for interferring but paid the price when they took him out back and did a number on his face. You didn't here it from me though and everything is heresay.

 

[the nature boy]

more stories involving alcohol and beatings are appreciated.

 

[youngdeltman]

Just the usual, this normally occurs after a parton is thrown out:

"I'm gonna come back with my __________ (insert groups name here, ie: homeboys, gang, posse, bikers, black belts martial artists etc) and ____________ (insert beating here, ie: shoot stab, kick your ass etc) and you'll wish you'd never touched me"

Happens every weekend, at least once without fail.

As for funny stories, I don't have many but here's a mildly amusing one: I was on the door of a club about 6 months ago and not far away are a group of fairly good looking women, which of course I was paying more attention to than the slobs walking past me into the club. One of them walks over (she wasn't stunning but still attractive) and sits down in a chair opposite me a few meters away, now this chair is fairly high, a bit lower than a bar stool so I could see straight between her legs. And me, being as suttle a a hole in the head, stares openly. At this point any normal woman probably would have gotten up and left, but this one smiles back and starts doing the Sharren Stone thing on me! She gets up and walks over to me and and says someitnhg along the lines of 'did you like that' to this I reply 'would have been better if you didn't have panties on' hahaha, slap in the face, end of story you'd think but NO the bitch dissapears and comes back a few minutes later doing the Sharran Stone thing without the panites! then dissapears off into the crowd. I radio for a replacment at the door 'cause I was sporting a hard on big enough to hammer nails with, and take my position in a dark corner untill the hard on subsided

that's my long, boring story

 

[drrman]

i got a good one, i bounced for over two years, was security manager at two clubs here in charlotte. I quit back in june, i bounced for the first time last friday night since then. I ended up choking this guy out of this club and threw him outside. of course he is gonna "have me charged", "have this place shut down", "my dad is a lawyer" well when he dared me to hit him and said his dad was a lawyer, i said fuck it and knocked him right in the fucking jaw, and guess what, this guy's dad really is a powerul charlotte lawyer, so i have charges against me and the club had a civil suit against it also, what are the fucking chances???

your screwed my firend. For being a jerk and thinking you were above anyone. SOrry but this is the fuckin truth. Here in Montreal we had a club called O'Tooles. SOme kiddy place. One night, the bouncer kicked a 17 year old guy out (you need 18 here). He broke his nose. Nothing serious. Had no powerful daddy like your guy. Guess what ? He gained 5000$ in court. Of course its not the bouncer who had to pay for this, but the club (his employer). But can I tell you that no club did ever hire this guy again ? Mostly cause of the insurance. Once you go in Court for similar matters and you lose, you get on the black list. Good bouncers dont get into such shit.

Work a club in the North West. Easy work when everyone's rolling though. Usually only have problems with the drinkers

 

[youngdeltman]

According to Australian law, after a patron has been asked to leave the venue 3 times they are considered a tresspasser we (security) can use 'resonable and proportionate force' to remove a tresspasser, as their resistance escalates, so does our use of force.

Though most evictions can be achieved without any force

Just for your information

[casavant]

I bounce.....Nothing really to brag about.

Ranger

Nothing to brag about, but the stories can be fun. I started doing it when I was nineteen because I needed the money and wanted to experience it. The first night I bounced was only the third or fourth night I had ever been in a club or bar. I've never had a big ego about it, although after dealing with verbal or physical confontation on a nightly basis I did find myself gaining a more aggressive outlook on things. I only do it on weekends now in a very laid back bar, the rest of the time I work in a library and at Gold's Gym (funny combination, huh?). I've physically tossed out only three people in the last six months, which is how I like it.

At one club there was this guy who would always come in with friends. He had no legs, so sometimes he would come in in a wheelchair, but would walk through the line on his hands, kind of dragging his ass along, then have them put him in his wheelchair once inside. One time when we were closing though, he didn't have his chair for some reason, and was damn near getting trampled over when everybody was squeezing out of the club. I ended up picking him up (at his request) and carrying him in my arms through the crowd to his "friends" who were waiting outside. It was quite a sight to behold.

We had 2 Live Crew perform for a Halloween show a couple of years ago. I picked them up for the airport, then took them out to eat. Their booty shaking chicks were all polite, said a prayer before eating and everything. But after their performance that night, they went out and mingled with the crowd, where we had to make a couple of them come down off a raised bouncing platform. They were being happily finger banged by a patron.

69 Boyz ran a train on some chick in their dressing room (surprise, surprise), and Sir Mix-a-lot left a huge pile of mary jane stems and seeds after rolling a fat blunt in the back.

We kicked out a group of Hispanic guys one night who had repeatedly been giving us trouble. One of them made a move on one of our guys, and our guy promptly laid him out. It turned into a big scene, but they eventually left. A week later they jumped our guy in a parking lot with a piece of re-bar (those metal rods used to reinforce concrete). Luckily, he deflected most of the blows with his forearms. They ended up running off, he ended up going to the hospital to get x-rays done. It turned out nothing was broken. They got arrested and convicted, and he was a lot more careful in that part of town from then on.

 

[casavant]

of course he is gonna "have me charged", "have this place shut down", "my dad is a lawyer" well when he dared me to hit him and said his dad was a lawyer, i said fuck it and knocked him right in the fucking jaw, and guess what, this guy's dad really is a powerul charlotte lawyer, so i have charges against me and the club had a civil suit against it also, what are the fucking chances???

We kicked out the city prosecutors son once for underage drinking. He tried to use the lawyer card, but that didn't work too well considering he was the one breaking the law and we didn't physically throw him out. I saw him around town a lot for the next couple of years, then last summer he ended up drowning while partying on the lake. Sad stuff.

 

[casavant]

Know what you can do, do what you gotta do. If you're being cool in my bar, there is no problem. If you're acting like an ass or getting rowdy, I'll usually give you one or two warnings. If you keep acting like an ass and refuse to leave, or purposefully antagonize me because you "love beating bouncer ass", I will physically escort you out the door. If you do wind up kicking my ass , we will call the friendly police officers and they'll arrest you and you'll catch a charge. It's just how it works.

However, I've worked with guys who were just there to kick ass, and they're usually not the best bouncers. I've actually stood up for patrons before who were getting unnecessarily roughed up by a fellow bouncer.

I've also had to take big guys out. If they have to go, they have to go, big or small. I don't just pick out the little guys.

 

[The Ranger]

Casavant...I agree with you. I very seldom strike someone. We did a private party for Outkast recently.....actually a pretty cool bunch of guys.

Hmmm, that made complete sence

People with attitudes like yours are the ones the cause the trouble in the clubs and spoil it for everyone else.

Kick a bouncers ass over here and every other bouncer in the club will be on top of you, kick their asses and the cops will take care of you...that sort of shit just isn't tollerated

 

[gorilla_boy]

I was actually planning on getting a bouncing job for the summer, maybe just Saturday nights. I don't need the money, I just want to pick up chicks.

Manny78,

Well its hard to say, but usually Courts will mostly go on the client's side instead of the club. Why ? Cause unless the bouncer has some security classes or police school, they're usually considered as wannabe securities. Dunno about DDR, but I know that most bouncers dont act like professionals, but just like kids with big egos. But anyway DDR I wish you luck

Around here, the city prosecutor will rarely touch a bar fight. They kind of figure everyone's drunk, and if you're hanging out there that's a risk you take. Plus, they're hard to prosecute, form what I understand.

The cops around here usually help the bouncers out, and are usually fine with you using physical force (within reason), to remove an unruly patron. Fucking up a 17 year old may be a different case, however.

I've been in that situation. I had a gorgeous gal give me a big hug at the front door, then start to nibble on my neck and ear. I was going commando with kahki shorts- had to take a time out after that. The dark corner is your friend.

We did hook up later, and it was awesome.

ok manny im not gonna get in a pissing contest here. I have been bouncing for years and i am NOT the big egotistical bastard you think i am. I have escorted many people from clubs, some with force, i have had my ass KICKED once taking a guy from a club. This guy started the shoving, when the shoving starts i quit my talking and resort to force. And as for me being in trouble, it will never happen. i have four other bouncers who witnessed the altercation, all were sober. This guy is wasted when he gives the report to the officer? do you think the judge will really hand down punishment to me or the club over this drunk guy, i think not. I know because as a head of security for Fat Tuesday's in charlotte, i had to go to court on four different occasions due to my bouncers kicking the shit out of some guys. It was always dropped, they were drunk, we were sober. Its that simple. Anyways, this guy isn't pressing charges against me individually, he's got a civil suit against the club, sure it will cost the club some money, but i guarantee you this guy will lose.

 

[bouncer]

Yeah it's a great job, full of fun of course..........untill;

Over the year's I've had my right hand broke 4 times. My thumb and wrist on the right broke once.
Fractured ribs,
stitches in my head,
kicked in the nuts at least once a year,
and my nose broke once.
and put two guys in intensive care with head injuries.
I've seen other doormen stabbed, thankfull not recently.
And I've seen customers stabbed to death twice !.
Anyother stories you'd like ?.

This has been my experience also. In 9 years I've never seen a bouncer charged with assault where the case didn't get dismissed. On the other end tho I have seen people get money.

[AE86Turbo]

Can't mess around with bouncers in NY. Thats for sure..

Some BIG MOFO's

 

[casavant]

Here's one-

I was working a bar that had been rented out for the night by a sorority for some date dash bullshit. We let one guy in with his date, even though he was already drunk and only 20 (underage were allowed, but they had to wear wristbands). Well, we caught him openly drinking a bottle of Bud Lite, so we asked him to leave. He kept hanging out right in front of our entrance door, and when I asked him to go somewhere else, he responded with "This isn't your sidewalk." and started mouthing really bad. I walked him off a little ways, and he kept following me back to the door, mouthing all the way- "I feel sorry for yu, you're going to be a bouncer for the rest of your life. Ooooh, am I on you 'territory' now?" Shit like that. I stood there calmly and listened to him rant, because I usually don't do anything if a patron is just mouthing. After all, it happens almost every time you kick someone out. But he finally made me snap when he said, "You know what, I'd just like to jack off and come all over you." I threw him on the ground and said, "How would you like a wedgie, motherfucker?!" I then proceded to give him what I'm sure was the most horrific, excruciating, humiliating power wedgie of his life (with everyone watching out the windows, I might add). I felt the elastic of his boxers starting to rip, so I just got another hold and yanked some more. He left then, picking his underwear from his crack as he walked up the middle of the street. Aaah, what catharsis.

 

[genarr3]

Power wedgie <---- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
I have to do that sometime...maybe not.

the time I got severly beaten was at a big club...more bouncers

 

[bouncer]

Casavent here's the story with me. I like the money !. Plus I enjoy bringing a professional approach to anything I do, and that includes door work !.
I sometime's feel burnt out, these days I only work Friday and Saturday nights. I also have a full time job.
I have never been frightened of a situation yet, and have always made myself a promise. The first time I 'do a runner' I'll give up the game and admit it to myself I've lost my bottle.
I've seen a few 'ruuners' in the job and hate to see those pricks put their hands out for the same money I'm getting.
I worked with a guy I considered one of the best. THen one night he lost his bottle for the job, came back the next night, admitted he had lost it last night and gave up the club that night. That was about 6 year's ago and I still hold him in the highest respect for that one decision alone.
I wish you all a safe night where ever you may work tonight.

Ok, that makes more sense. I've only worked in large clubs, with experienced guys( read: don't take things personally ) I find the nights are easier if your nice to people.

 

[youngdeltman]

That's an important factor isn't it, being professional. Most people think its standing around looking tough and stopping the fight once it's started. But their is a lot of responsability involved: saftey of bar staff, patrons, ourselves, underage drinking (big issue over here ten of thousands $'s fines given to all paries involved - the drinker, the venue, us) intoxication and all the leagal issues as well. You have to know what you can and can't do otherwise you're in a heap of drama.

Profesionalism is important

 

[OMEGA]

Ok, that makes more sense. I've only worked in large clubs, with experienced guys( read: don't take things personally ) I find the nights are easier if your nice to people.

no worries,

getting beat down actually added a memorable experience to my life, cus that was one of the times when I was clearly in the wrong, I actually started it, so when I lost it did not bother me.

what did bother me was the broken hand I got from it, and I did not even win!

interesting side note, I have never lost a fight when I was clearly in the right, I think that means something.

 

[gwl9dta4]

Man, it varies too much to even put a ballpark figure on. I get about $70 cash a night for a 10pm-3am shift.

depends if you're alone or not. Usually working alone would mean a good 100$ cash. Big clubs usually have an army and pay them less....

 

[Frackal]

Damn Cas they should pay you more for such a high risk job....I would make almost that much in the same amount of time reading a book at GNC.

LOL. I agree, of course. That's the best pay I've ever gotten for bouncing, actually. I've worked for less at rougher places.

 

[Robert Jan]

well then that pay aint much. I still might do it when im in university tho.
i`m now a fairly lean 204 lbs, i`m about 6"4...

how big would you say youd need to be? I know its more about being able to handle the situations... preventions.... people skills etc but you need to look kind of impressive to do that right.

I`m only 16 tho so i have plenty of time to pack some on.

70 a night is not fat tho. But I wouldn`t know a much better job for someone who only wants to work part time and does not yet have any finished education.

another problem is that in Holland drinking is legal from 16.
and they arent that strict about it, border cases are always let through. so some clubs the average age is actually 16.

it would be so very lame and boring to work there. specially since id be like 18-20something already then.

Is there like much choice what club you work at? or do you need to be happy you got a job anywhere?

And Bouncer, then why the hell dont you wear a cup?

 

[casavant]

Being big helps, like I've told you before, but it's not everything. If I hated the job, than $70/night wouldn't be so good, but it's like freakin' social hour in the place I work. I know a ton of the people that hang out there. You just sit there and watch/card people for a few hours. For the most part, you aren't confronting unruly patrons, you're just chillin' and talking to pretty girls. I have a good gig.

you need to be above average. Look I was 6' , 205 lbs while working at the door. Most important is the way you talk people. Sometimes this way you can easily prevent a fight. Then it's about technique. Also if you could take a class about mastering expandable batons that could help too. That little bastard saved my ass many times.

 

[casavant]

If you have a nice ass, that's a bonus. Make sure you wear pants made of nice, well-cut fabric. You want them to hang off your cheeks and give that nice hint of lift and separation.

 

[Robert Jan]

LMAO>

anyways it seems like a cool side job.
when im in uni it ll be cab driver, bouncer or trainer at a gym...

dont know which ill see then.
cab driver prolly pays best but is also the least cool.

 

[bigAragorn]

yeah i bounce and i fuckin hate it....

 

[Robert Jan]

then quit

 

[bigAragorn]

then quit

yeah maybe i will....thanks for the concern

 

[gmanlax7]

i was a bouncer at high school parties, but that will end this week

 

[Bikini Mod]

I have been a go-go dancer for a year now and I just wanted to say, "Thank you" to all the professional bouncers out there. I have NEVER EVER been hit on by any bouncer at any club that I have worked at. I have found them to be courteous and real sweethearts. As a matter of fact, I even see them blush and look away when I "catch them" watching me working...

It must be a worse job then mine, dealing with a bunch of drunk assholes with beer muscles and attitude, only trying to do your job while some twerp thinks that they are "better than you because you are just a big dumb guy with muscles".

I have found all of the bouncers that I have worked with (and I have worked at several clubs) to be kind and decent guys, very respectful that do their jobs very well.

 

[LivinLarger]

I have bounced before but hate giving up my weekends for 10-12$/hr I work too hard during the week.
Most clubs I frequent will let me in for free and do not make me wait in line if I agree to "help out" if needed.
I have stopped doing that as of late, it just gets old dealing with the same type of idiots and if one were to land a punch it ruins your night.
My GF works at a strip club here in GR and some of the girls do "private parties", I would offer my services for one of those, but that's about it.
Actually considered bouncing at the strip club but the manager said I am too big and would make people more apt to get violent than to talk things out with a smaller bouncer.
I know that sounds like I am honking my own horn but I swear it's true does'nt make sense to me at all but whatever.

BM I'd bounce for you anytime!!!!

[PolishHammer1977]

Fellas,
I'm in as well. It has its perks and definitely has its negative side. For now, it is a way for me to make some extra cash on the side during my grad school term. I'm not the biggest guy @ 6'-4" 235. I am however smart enough to know when and when not to push certain buttons. Remember that there is stregnth in numbers. Anybody considering "bouncing" as employment should be ready to handle compromising situations. Be strong, mentally tough, and train hard........and remember.....the only way to train for a fight is to fight.

 

[theoak01]

Ive been trying for a job but no call backs

Im getting rather good at kung fu which should help so I plan to keep trying

I suppose im about average 5'6 185 or so

how did you guys get hired,just apply or know someone?

 

[theoak01]

[casavant]

I was nineteen and walking through a parking lot after visiting a friend. I had just got done working out and had on a black tank top. I think I was around 250 at the time. This dude hollered at me from a second floor balcony and asked me if I wanted to work with him. I walked up there and we talked for awhile and he gave me his number. I thought he might be a little wacked out or something and I already had a construction job so I didn't call. A few months later I was out with the owner of the local Gold's and we went into a club. I saw that same guy bouncing and I remembered his name. Things hadn't been going so well at my construction job, so I said, "Hey Richie, you still think I could get hired on?" He said, "Yeah, I'll hook you up." So we walked over to the head bouncer and he said, "Show up here tomorrow at 7pm." That was December 2, 1999. I haven't had more than two weekends off in a row ever since.

So that's pretty much how I got into bouncing. Now most places in town know me of know my face so it gets easier and easier, but it's nothing I plan on making a career out of. Still, once you get used to doing it and the extra money it brings in and of course the women and just people in general that you meet, it can be a hard thing to quit. Anymore though, bouncing keeps me a lot safer on the average than if I were going out and partying every weekend. The extra $600 or so that I make every month really helps me out a lot too.

 

[Testosterone boy]

$70 in Denver will buy you a couple decent dinners. In Alabama, it is a down payment.

doesnt sound to bad,I really just need the income and wouldnt mind getting out more,Im going stir crazy not working

It's not about size at all... I mean, if you're a big guy, like Cas, you have the intimidation factor going for you, but it's not necessary. If you can handle yourself, you'll gain a reputation in the circuit. I was a cooler at a dance club and a bouncer at a strip club, and between the two, I made quite a bit of money... Four nights a week at the dance club made me $1000 p/w... Problem is, no medical benefits, no real benefits other than excess pussy which was all that mattered to me at 23. Now that I'm older, the last thing I'd want to do is go back to work at the clubs... Sure it's good money, but in the three and a half years that I bounced, I got stabbed, shot at, hit with bottles, hit once with a bat, had some asshole try to run me over, all kinds of shit. Next time you see an old "COPS" marathon, and you see "COPS in Providence", watch for the club disturbance call where a guy got stabbed, I'm in that episode, and you get to see me keeping the crowd at bay while some asshole gang member bleeds to death on the ground waiting for the ambulance...lol

It CAN be a lot of fun, but it can also really suck, and things can go from fun to suck in no time flat... If you want to be a bouncer, think long and hard about whether or not you can handle not being a hothead. If you're getting into it to be tommy tough guy, don't bother, because 9 times out of 10, you're heavily outnumbered and you can get hurt very badly in the blink of an eye...

 

[theoak01]

last year this definatly wouldnt have been a job for me,I was a little prick who liked fights,but I put almost a year in the army and that calmed me down alot

and I started taking Kung fu back in march and have learned tons of take downs arm holds and that type of thing,so handling myself wouldnt be a problem,I think the only reason I havent got hired yet was my size Im only 5'6 and 185 which is smaller than the average bouncer


maybe one day Ill get in somewhere

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Oak,

Why not try to get in as a barback first? They make more than bouncers do. Bouncers typically make the same amount of $ per night. Barbacks make what the bartenders want you to make. If you have good people skills and you are a hard worker, Barback. Which ultimately leads to bartending and possibly bouncing. What do you think?

 

[theoak01]

like a cook in the back of the bar ?

I dont think I follow

Oak,

Barbacks = bartenders in training. There the guys you see carryin cases and cases of bottles. Hustling all night long. Guys @ my place make between 150-200 p/night.

 

[theoak01]

hell sounds good to me

a little bit of hard work wont hurt,Ill have to see if I can get a job doing that somewhere

Best of luck. Keep me posted. I wish I knew people in Canada so I could point you the way.

But you wouldn't have as much fun!



Saturday night we're in a club and I'm watching the bouncers. This club must have had 15 guys workin that night. I kept noticing this one in particular, nice size, cute, couldn't have been more than 20 y.o. and he's smiling, a lot. I watch him some more trying to figure out why he's smiling. This is the first time I actually paid attention to a bouncer and his job. He's smiling cuz he's watching the people, chicks especially since he was standing near the bathrooms most of the night, enjoying the music AND he's getting paid for it. Excellent!

It's almost closing time and my g/f and I are dancing a little nasty with eachother and my husband. I see him lookin at us...there's that smile again. Some girl walks over to him, backs up to him and starts grinding her ass on him lightly. He grabs her by the hips and pounds into her hard. She lets out this little scream...she was not expecting that! He laughs and calms down with his thrusting. She stays for a few seconds and continues walking to the bathroom. LOL He sees me watching this and he's smiling big time. I hadda walk up to him and say, "You've got the best job in the world, dontcha?" He smiles wide and says very seriously yet excitedly, "Yes ma'am!"




Damn...I wanna be a bouncer!

 

[Digger Dan]

He smiles wide and says very seriously yet excitedly, "Yes ma'am!"

What he meant to say is, "Yes ma'am, I'm rollin my balls off!"

Oak, this is solid advice. Once you barback/bartend you'll say "Fuck bouncing and the horse it rode in on." Better money, less risk, and women dig bartenders.

 

[theoak01]

I definatly see the ladies loving the bartenders

Ill take what I can get now be it Running or whatever money is money

Just remember.....working in a bar ruins your perception of fun at the bar. you'll never want to go out to a bar on your night off.


AND it fucks with your sleep schedule in a big way.


Maybe its just me.
