Just out of curiosity. Do you mind if I ask how much you let them in for? And what kind of place is it that you are a doorman for? What kind of club?[/quote]

Kinda depends anywhere from 20-50 or more depending on if I like your story, personality etc.

I don’t work at an upper-end nightclub. I’m in a relatively small city, we’ll do like 5-600 on a really good night. [/quote]

Not worth it in a big city trendy nightclub if you’re working the door because the door comes with too many other perks (if the promoter isn’t taking the “cut line” $$$ smfh). You can make very decent “tip” money just letting people in that are of age or letting them to the front of a long line. No need to fuck with underage drinkers or do anything else that might lose you the door post. In a small city, slower club, I can see doing it though :slight_smile: lol. I still prefer inside where the action is…not too many fights at the door :slight_smile:

I did work one small place in central PA many years ago where I did the “two for them, one for me” admission price, which did turn out to be lucrative LOL. [/quote]

I’ve worked at this place for 3 years and have been legitimately “tipped” 3 times and I’m always nice to everyone until they think they can talk shit so there’s not money there for that.

My favorite was I caught a guy pissing in a trash can in the bathroom and it cost him $120 to stay :slight_smile: haha

Very cool, I can kinda see now how a doorguy would look at underage drinkers. Cool. Thanks for the advice, Well, I guess it’s time to go make myself a regular. I can remember seeing some pics of Way on HolyMac’s MMMM thread from partying in Florida. Big guy. Has anyone ever tried to give you trouble at the door? Haha, they would have to be half crazy. [/quote]

I’ve been in dozens of fights over 3 years, even made the local news on one haha. People don’t usually try to fight me personally but like 3/4ths of our staff are just average joe’s and someone of average height/build is not going to be listened to so they get in shit and I have to come clean up the mess, haha.

When Hollywood inevitably remakes “Road House” I’ll be quite upset if you’re not cast in the lead. Can you roundhouse kick things?

OP - you have two options:

bars/clubs will do things to distinguish drinks as being alcoholic and non. generally you’ll have mixed drinks in small cups, and if you were to order a plain coke/sprite/cranberry juice you’ll have it served in a beer-sized cup.

go and order a coke or sprite from the bartender. generally they are free, you can tip them a buck or two if you plan on doing it often. then have your over 21 friends buy a corresponding shot or two of alcohol. discreetly, and in an area away from the bar/security, have the shots dumped into your glass. now you will have an alcohlic drink, with whatever corresponding glass/cup/straw combo the club uses to identify non-alcoholic drinks.

use common sense - don’t think you can order a double LIT and think you can walk around w/o security realizing you have a drink in your cup. stick to vodka and clear mixers, or coke-based mixed drinks.

OR

DON’T BE A FUCKING DUMBASS. have your 21+ friends order an extra shot and bring it to you. discreetly take the shot when security isn’t looking. 90% of unders that are kicked out are b/c they are walking around the club with a friggin drink in their hand. take the shot, and then u can walk around with u’re cup of coke.
