anyone bounce

[Mr I]

It really depends on the place you work at. I worked at a couple where it just didn't feel like you could ever get control of a situation and there was no way to communicate to other bouncers or the owners don't want you really mingling and be more of a force that goes around cleaning up and keeping walkways clear. If you want something to make a little more money, be pretty much as enjoyable and almost a bouncer as a secondary position to the bouncers, you could be a bar back.

Its important that you have a good team with you and your all for each other, I've worked at many places and had very diffreent experiences. At the last place there was plenty of us, then the manager started cutting the numbers down, there were like five of us in the end then four and it got more risky to the point where before assholes wouldn't have even dared, they begun trying their luck more. Because of this I found I had to be more physical, then I got jailed for a night, later released and no charges followed so I said fuck it since the manager did me no favours with the cops. Then the other guys stayed for a while, one got stuck with a broken bottle in the neck but was ok, another the same but in the chest, again he got out of it fine. Eventually they all left and I've never worked since and the place got new managment then shut down.

The guys that still work always look back and laugh at how bad the place was, one guy called it the Zoo Bar, like the one out of star wars LOL

i have been offered a few jobs as bouncing, but my parents don't want me taking it, and i didn't feel like working on Friday and Saturday night's....


Seems like most of you guys enjoyed it, i might have to try it out and feel the experience.

It has risks bro and it don't matter how big you are, how fun it is depends o where you work but its not great for your sleep pattern and many people do it because they have to not because they want to. The problem it that most of the time its easy extra money and you get used to it but you tend to blow the money as quick

what does a bar back do??

It could be a little harder to come by since smaller places don't use many or any, but basically you would be a runner for the bartenders. Get more ice, more beer, more liquor... The hourly may or may not be as high depending on the job duties but the bar tenders tip you out. Usually pretty decently since you keep them stock or else they loose money.
