Day 1 and 2 as a Bouncer...

So the night was fairly bland for a while. Being at a bar just isn't that amazingly fun when sober. Cleaned up a few broken bottles, walked around a lot, and then the fun began.

A bartender tipped us off to look for a guy and gave his description. At this point I had no clue why we were finding him or what to do with him, but I started looking. Well me and another bouncer find him in the liquor store attached to the bar and block him in. He's obviously nervous.

The other bouncer then tosses him from the store, thinking that we were just supposed to boot him for something. The guy starts looking back from the parking lot, when I get word that he's a thief that pocketed his credit card without paying the tab.

So as soon as I walk out the door and yell to come back he starts running away. This is my first day and I had no clue if we were supposed to chase or not, but I said fuck it and took off after him. He crossed two 4 lane roads trying to ditch me but at this point I was pissed off and determined to catch the asshole.

I finally take him down in another parking lot and waved down a police squad car that was responding to the bar. They took my info and took his ass away.

Fucking awesome first day, even if the pay sucks.

- First day as bouncer at bar
- Looking for guy in bar
- He gets kicked out and starts running
- I, the 6'6" 245 lb bouncer, chase him down and sit on him
- Guy gets arrested.


Day 2

Night #2 -- Quiet night tonight, thursday is the big drinking night in Dekalb. Cleaned up a little vomit in the ladies room, stopped a disagreement before it became anything serious, and ended up escorting one patron from the establishment. He lacked the ability to sit properly in a chair (fell to the ground), stand on his own two legs (wall lean), or really function as a human. Anyways, nothing crazy but starting to control the main bar area much better and most importantly keep the waitresses safe.

How many punches/kicks are you allowed to land before it gets illegal?

Depends. This guy was smart/lucky enough to not attempt to attack me. You definitely have the right to defend yourself. If I would have hit him for no reason I probably would have been arrested too.

The only guys that really get roughed up are anyone grabbing the females in the bar, that shit just don't fly. No problems with that tonight though.
 
very cool.

why didn't the bartender tell you why you were after this guy? It seems being uninformed is dangerous (he could have shown someone he had a weapon).
 
Yeah, tell him to let you know wtf is up next time, so you don't get stabbed over a guy running off with a $1 bill.
 
I do sometimes miss the fun times in security. Always good stories the morning after. Wasn't worth it for the pay or danger, of course, but it could be a lot of fun.

:thumbsup:
 
I always wanted to be a bouncer, but I DJ on weekend nights so thats not happening. And im sure the pay is much better DJing then bouncing.
 
being a bouncer is fun.

Be nice to the bartenders, and you might be able to get your ass behind the bar and make some real money.

Seriously though, most managers are quite happy have a bigass bartender to scare people along with the pairs of tits behind the bar...
 
Last night was college night I had 4 throw outs. One skinny black guy we caught drinking gin out of the bottle in the employees only area of the club threatened me and told me "I bust guns yo"(while doing the sideways gangster version of holding a pistol)
