Door Host @ Calgary Stampede?

[sparksfly]

I got hired as a door host at bud zone at the calgary stampede, does any one know what they do? Is there a specific uniform or anything we have to wear?
Thanks!

You have to wear a one-piece lycra bodysuit.

With sparks flying off the suit

Haha, kind of a weird thread. Hey guys I got a job, does it have a dress code or a uniform?

Umm... So you took a job and you don't what the job is. ....... Have fun.

I'm just speculating but maybe they applied to a general posting for Stampede and this is what they got hired for? (i.e. they never applied to "Door Host", they just applied for "Stampede Week Job" and this is where they were placed)

Probably best to ask whoever hired you in either case.

Best first post/thread ever?!?

You should probably ask your employer questions like this. Usually at the interview stage, or when they let you know you got the job.

First job?

I dont mean to be condescending but, have you been to the Stampede? Do you know what you're in for?

Dont get me wrong, theres lots of good people, good fun and money to be made, but the concentration of crazy drunks goes up by about 400% during that week and you're basically on the front lines.

Mostly because people from Edmonton come to town to celebrate.

Sure, but it paint's a much better(worse?) mental picture if you explicitly say it, too.

Isn't the door host at Stampede the same as the host at Walmart? Waving at old ladies and giving out happy face stickers to kids?

[Property Manager DB]

Definitely an uncommon thread and discussion topic! Unique you might say

Oh man, reading that in Morpheous' voice brought tears to my eyes.

Probably old ladies and kids aren't the demographic that the door host at the bud zone interacts with. Just a guess.

The Calgary Stampede has a door?

[Cliche]

Not only no door, but BUD Zone door person. Greeting people. Not serving, unless OP has their ProServe (yay 100$ clams for an online quiz). Maybe checking ID's.

Should be standard cowboy get up, jeans, boots/shoes you can stand in for 4-6 hours, and hat. Forget if the bud zone has a covered area, so they should expect to be standing out in the sunshine for a long time. Sometimes there is a stool but the person sitting there creates a disincentive to communicate with them unless there is a table/lectern type thing which endless rowdies will ask for variations of tables for 2...

Be friendly with whoever has a radio as that will be the quickest lifeline to Stampede security dispatch. Know which entrance you are working and be able to repeat it so when the inevitable happens Stampede security/CPS can be down there lickety split. Know the difference between happy drunk and cut you with a broken bottle drunk. Other than that, park hours, and where is the closest bathroom/changestation.
