Depends on the environment........I had a lot of fun when i managed a titty bar cause i didn't have to do shit but count money and bang strippers, but when i worked at shit hole full of border jumpers with nothing to lose, i was fighting all the time...... plus i had to see one friend get shot and another stabbed, so after that it wasn't much fun..........Hell I'm still dealing with a a court case from 4 years ago from one of those incidents

I seen shit like that too, incidentally when I was working at a ghetto spanish/mexican club!!! lol, there was a drive by , and the guys shot out the glass doors , thankfully I was upstairs at the time, buddy of mine got shot in the arm tho...shitty.

One of my buds that i worked with was a HA member and that fucker unloaded a whole clip and killed a guy in self defense time........he only got in trouble for carrying a gun while on probation...... the funny thing is when he got out 3 years he came up to have a beer and after we closed he stuck around and some beaners we threw out came back later that night a blasted a shot gun through our front door and he got hit by some shrapnel in the back and all i remember was him saying to the paramedic was FU I'm not laying on my back on dead people lay on their back hahahaha I swear he was back in the gym 2 days later......tough fucker he was until he flipped and now he's ~~dead~~ in witness protection.

I was a bouncer for little over four years (straight out of the army) and now i do private security. I mostly worked in metal bars here in Helsinki, Finland. I made awesome money out of it, but got tired of fighting speed freaks and mental patients...

I was a bouncer at Tequilla Willies from 1983 to around 1986. It was the #1 night spot in the South Bay. It was awesome. A lot of bodybuilders came in along with Hollywood type and the Raiders all came in all the time. At the beginning I was making $600 a week for working 5 to 6 hours a night. It was a great job and FREE food. The other guys would always order 12 egg omelets and the cooks would always watch them eat them. Ron Gibson, Jim Flarety and Bob Sear worked there too. We were known (the bouncers) by everybody in the South Bay because we were the best team anywhere. Every club I ever went I never stood in line. and alot of times the manager or owner would offer me free drinks. To bad I didn't drink. It was unreal when someone caused shit and we took off our jackets. Everyone would just go crazy. People from all over the world would come in and ask for us by name because one of their friends came in when they were visiting. It was great there ad the management supported whatever we did. I was also a bouncer at Latitude 20 which was a Country Western Club. We got closed down because one of the other bouncers while we were kicking out some guys ended up pulling a guy out by his hair and it literally came out and this guy was bleeding everywhere. It looked like someone chopped the top of his head off. Filled in at numerous other clubs around the South Bay (Southern California). When I moved to Hawaii and was working as the marketing director at Gold's in Honolulu at night I worked at the #1 strip club in Hawaii "Club Rockza" On Friday and Saturday nights we would have 30 to 40 girls working at a time. Most girls made at least $500 a night and quite a few made over $1000. I made $300 a night there working 9pm to 2am. Another great job. Interesting perks

Yeah it's actually an illusory sensation that feels like there's something between the teeth.

It's caused by the death of brain cells for sensation inside the mouth. $:-\$

The WEIRD policy here is that unless the bar/night club is insanely big, you work there alone and most of the owners here are from Asia. Since they really have no education or anything they pretty much have to start their own business and they FUCK the local IRS big time, then close the bar and start a new one. I was allways a very friendly bouncer as I'm also a pretty laid back guy, but when the shit hit the fence you had to be down with it all. There's no second place in a dark bar alley...

I usually worked for 6 hours a night and made between 150-300 € per night (300€ is allmost 500 $).

I think that this one incident that has burned in to my soul was this young guy who was OD:ing and his girlfriend was standing next to him and screeming. The Metal bar owner from Bangladesh said to me: "just ditch him somewhere!" And i told him that's not the way we do things IN THE REAL WORLD! Anyway the guy was on multiple recreational drugs + on a shitload of medication. He was not breathing and his heart beat was very low. Once i made the 911 call and started CPR and got this guy back in the real world his first words were:
"FUCK YOU!"

PS. So there... I have a million stories like this and it's just not worth it.

It was probably just GHB...Although not something that you should really have to mess with...

Noone wins a fight

- Dalton Grant

one would think that a guy like Dalton who for sure is well versed on Buddisim, that he would have his agoistic mind under control...However Dalton was all EGO... Also Dalton was a cheap mother fucker...When the owner of the apartment he was going to rent told him the price, Dalton should have done the right thing and gave him a respectable amount...But he did'nt...And in return the old man got his whole house burnt down for his troubles...I guess thats why Dalton now has ass cancer...

like someone said,its all about whos got your back,if your working with some experianced,thorough security guys your gonna feel more stable.everyone i worked with was a renzo gracie bjj trained guy,i knew them from renzos academy and knew they could handle things if anything got ugly.ive worked in other clubs in jersey where the other bouncers where not paying attention to the crowds and leaning over talking to broads all night,thats not the type of guys you want watching your back.nothing wrong with kicking it with some hot broads but your eyes have to stay glued to your section ans also watching to see if your fellow bouncers flashlight is flicking on and off,which means theres an incident either going down or ready to go down.my philosiphy always was to try to diffuse the tension before a fight broke out,i would stay calm with a drunk,pissed off guy and talk to him cool and be nice,alot of times it worked,alot of times it didnt,when it didnt we just usually sunk in a rnc or side arm choke and escorted the guy outside and sat him down on a porch away from the club.ive never liked working with bouncers that where just waiting for the smallest excuse to pound some drunk guy half to death,thats not professional and eventually youll do it to the wrong cat and get capped leaving the club after work one night

Bro, no offense, but all the JJ guys I've seen bouncing got their asses ha nded to them, Jiu Jitsu is not made for handling multiple drunk opponents at one time, esp. at a club, muay thai or boxing is much better for handling several guys at one time, as soon as a JJ guy goes to the ground (which is what JJ is based on) it's over for the JJ guy cause he's catching boots to the head from buddy's friends, end of story.
