Three reasons your door guy hates you
A local door guy tells us what makes him tick — or get ticked off.
First off, I hate the term “bouncer.” At best, it brings to mind a Swayze-esque badass; at worst, a meathead on a power trip. I always use the term “doorman”: It’s nicer, and doesn’t reek of Axe and steroids.
There aren’t many people who take a door job as a career. It’s either bench-warming to work behind the bar, or extra income to supplement a day job. That’s the reason most doormen are stoic or, as some of you say, “grumpy.” (If you think it’s cute to tell the doorman to smile, you’re lucky to get in at all.)
