I may have been over lubricated. That being said, in my lubricated state I honestly wasn't trying to sneak in, I just thought it ridiculous to pay a cover charge when the club was closing in 30 minutes and there was no need for the bouncer to be rude. Thanks! Tara Hey everyone,

I can see the points you are making. I may have been over lubricated. That being said, in my lubricated state I honestly wasn’t trying to sneak in, I just thought it ridiculous to pay a cover charge when the club was closing in 30 minutes and there was no need for the bouncer to be rude.

Thanks!
Tara

Managing riffraff is not the bouncer's only job. He's also responsible for collecting the cover charge. He may not be empowered to waive the cover charge no matter how late in the evening. He's certainly not going to risk his job for it. And since you were trying to sneak in without paying, you were the riffraff. Sorry, but I have to agree with randomsf and larochelle on this one.

So who should I believe, the sober guy who was doing his job or the Drunkster?

First you tried to avoid the cover by going in the back way. It's the bouncer's JOB to collect the cover for the venue or promoter. In performing his job he insisted that you go in the proper door and pay the cover that the venue or promoter, not he, wished you to pay. Second, you used the OLDEST line in the book, "I'm just going in to say hi to my friends. I'm not staying." Believe me, every bouncer in the city hears this just about every night. There's usually only one security person, the bouncer, and the scammer knows that once they get inside there's no way for the bouncer to leave his post, track the person down, and either ask them to leave or pay the cover. So after you tried to sneak your way in and then scam your way in he turned his back on you. I wonder why... So the bouncer was "being a total jerk" for doing his job?
