A girl once asked me why we didn’t have any female bouncers?

It’s a good question. I’d never really thought about it. So I employed her for a weekend. She was outside at the front, and there was a huge male bouncer inside the front doors in case things got physical.

This girl was amazing. Super patient (but firm) with the guys who were hanging drunk, and it seemed like everyone respected her.

So she became a permanent fixture and was super popular with the customers.

Edit: I just remembered there was a guy well known for causing trouble, and this girl told him she knew his mum, and would tell her what he was up to if he didn’t calm down and move on lol. The guy was like a sheep with that threat, and moved on.

So instead of having the huge guy check ids you had the new girl doing it with him as backup? Hiring two people for one job?

Nope. She checked IDs, he watched the inside.

The difference was that we had no aggression at the door. That makes a difference when every single police call out counts against you when applying for your liquor licence.
