Totally agree, we pay for their service, so they provide said service to our requirements...
altho the management did get a pi..ed off when the drinks bottles sneaked in were left under the tables at the end of the nite...
we were advised 1 door man per 100 people but after the second nite, they realised all they were there for was to keep out the locals...
It helps that I've known them since middle school days...they knew I did strange things at the weekends and one I used to work with knew not to speak to me on a Tues...
Brilliant, had forgotten about those days...
Have been to some venues where there seems to be lots of doormen walking round the venues with earpieces...not necessary IMO at a soul venue...
the name "doorman" says it all, stay at the door.
