"WHY DO BOUNCERS..." RESPONDING TO GOOGLE SEARCH PREDICTIONS

Why are bouncers called bouncers?

The name ‘bouncer’ comes from a ‘bouncer’/doorman getting some troublemaker in a club, bar, concert and throwing them out/ ‘bouncing’ them out of the premises. I did a bit of reading, and in the late 19th to early 20th century a US newspaper article stated that ‘The Bouncer’ is merely the English ‘chucker out’.

Why are bouncers so rude?

The majority of bouncers are only rude to you if you are rude to them; although it can be deemed to be unprofessional and avoided at all costs. Bouncers work long, strange hours and at the end of the night all a bouncer wants is to finish their shift and go home. They aren’t there to take abuse or somebody’s attitude. At Delta if someone is rude to us, we aren’t rude back, we just won’t let them in the venue… with a smile!

Why are bouncers so big?

Sometimes the nature of the job calls for bouncers to be big. Be a dominant presence/deterrent in any venue in order to keep the peace. Bouncers now comes in all shapes and sizes but being big doesn’t mean they are a good bouncer. Some venue managers/owners prefer bigger bouncers on their venues and they actually request them.

Why do bouncers scan your id?

It’s a basic security measure that ensures that anybody entering the venue can be identified if an incident were to occur.

Why do bouncers bend your ID?

To check that it isn’t fake. If an ID creases or cracks its presumed to be fake.

Why do bouncers refuse entry?

Entry can be refused for a number of reasons. The most common is that the person trying to enter has been deemed to be too intoxicated and it would be dangerous for them to enter the venue. The venue policies could also get somebody refused entry such as, not the wearing the right attire or being part of a big group.

A person’s attitude can get them refused from a venue. At the end of the day if you’re going to give a bouncer attitude whilst your trying to enter the venue, what are you going to be like inside, or if your asked to leave a venue?

Why do bouncers wear black?

Black looks smart and doesn’t make a bouncer stand out in the crowd. It also retains heat and is great for standing out in the cold.

Why do bouncers wear gloves?

As well as communication skills their hands must always be ready to deal with any situation. Having cold hands can dramatically reduce a bouncer’s reaction time when dealing with incidents.

Why are bouncers such d**ks, p**cks, a**eholes, aggressive and mean?

Bouncers have such a negative light shone upon them but why? After weeks of research and surfing the internet through all forums with anything negative stated about bouncers, of which there are quite a few, I’ve concluded with a list of recurring reasons. And have written a few lines to which I believe the statement is bulls**t.

1. Illusion of power/power trip – A bouncer has the power to control the flow of people in and out of any venue they work. Under a venues license to open they have the right to refuse anyone for any reason and don’t even have to provide a reason why. They have the power to let you know when ‘you’ve had enough’. This means they deem you to be too intoxicated and need to leave the venue. Again they have the right to eject anyone at anytime from any venue, if a person fails to do so then in fact they are trespassing inside the venue and they can be forcefully removed, using justifiable means.
2. Rubbish pay – Bouncers rate of pay is nothing to do with their attitude and most bouncers are on a decent wage for the number of hours they work. Don’t forget they don’t have to be bouncers, they chose to do it.
3. Can’t get a ‘real’ job – What is a real job? These men/women ensure people’s safety and uphold the licence of every venue they work on. They work long unsocial hours to ensure bills are paid and they can put food on the plates at home. Is that not a real job?
4. Dealing with drunk people – Yes, dealing with drunk people can be annoying and makes the job a lot more difficult but someone’s attitude doesn’t change just because they are talking to somebody who is intoxicated. That’s down to a bouncer’s patience and is all part of the job. If a person’s actions are deemed to be too much and a breach of the peace, then a bouncer has the right to detain and call the police to remove the individual.
5. Long hours – They are long unsocial hours but again it’s a choice to come to work and accept the shift at work. Bouncer’s make a lot of friends whilst working the doors and why wouldn’t you want to come to work to spend hours upon hours working with your close friends?
6. Bullied as a child – Every single bouncer in 2018 has all been through the same training with advanced conflict management training. If they were to ever have built up childhood repressions that they are taking out on random members of the public then they wouldn’t be working the doors.
7. Stress – Once a bouncer starts his shift nothing else that has happened throughout the day should affect their work. They have to be professional and polite throughout every shift. And if there is a major problem at home for example then again, they wouldn’t be at work.
8. Only interested in picking up women – Unfortunately, these bouncers do exist. At Delta Security these types of bouncers do not have a place on any door. They are a waste of space and shouldn’t be in work. A bouncer’s role is to ensure the safety and the smooth running of the venue. NOT to pick up women.
9. Bored – Some longer shifts can become a bit boring, but most bouncers are grateful to have conversation with anyone outside a venue. People smoking or waiting to enter venue offer a good opportunity for a bouncer to talk to. Its often said that bouncers must get annoyed watching people enjoying themselves and having fun. But that’s not necessarily true. Bouncers are focused so much on doing their jobs that time flies.
10. Insecure – Putting people down in order to cover their on insecurities shouldn’t ever be an issue whilst working as a bouncer. During an incident or a verbal exchange bouncers can most of the time exaggerate their own ability to ‘take someone out’ as an attempt to scare the incident to a conclusion. A good bouncer can talk his way out of physical violence, but it does occur and getting physical is part of the job.
