Enforced Coat Check

[effowe]

I went to a concert last night, and when we get in to the venue they required everyone with a jacket to go stand in the coat check line and pay $4 to check their coats. I would normally leave it in the car, but it was quite cold last night so I figured I could hold it at the show. That was a no go. It seemed like they must have made a killing from this alone, anyone else experience this?

I'm sure they are just nickel and diming you for your own safety.

Really, OP should expose the venue.

Dude, it's four bucks not to have to deal with your coat for two hours. WTF?

I don't trust anyone with my stuff. It's $4 to someone that likely has issues keeping basic body functions running. Fuck everything about that.

Was it mandatory mandatory?

I went to a club once (and only time) and thought I had to, but saw people walk in with their huge coats.

Are you this crabby with these kids?

I could've, but a wool winter jacket in a hot club like environment doesn't work for me.

It was "The Mid" in Chicago, terribly packed, wouldn't recommend it.

I was being forced to check it, it's something I have never experienced. I would've checked it anyways, but I thought it was shitty that they required it.

So, did you tip the coat check girl?

 

[edro]

Probably so they could pack more people into the club.
