No, the poster said he didn't drink back then, therefore he wouldn't have been spending money.


I worked as a doorman at a couple places during University here in Calgary. I had to take training on effective holds and how to safely escort unruly customers out without excess force. We had officers from the remand center run this course each year.

I worked for the U of C, if anyone hit a patron they would be fired unless there was no other recourse. In 5 years of working door, and concerts I never saw any bouncer hit a patron. There was one incident that I didn't see, but the bouncer was immediately fired.

I worked at a couple other bars here and there and didn't ever see a bouncer hit anyone or act racist. There are bouncers that are racist ego maniacs, but that certainly isn't all of them. Terminator had a couple bad experiences from the sounds of but I think everyone has run into issues with people in every service job, bartenders, servers, etc..

Sounds like the doormen were justified in this situation, they probably could have let up, but I certainly don't feel bad for the drunk moron.
