Technically speaking I am not a bouncer any more, I am a floor supervisor! That is my official task title, which makes it sound a lot fancier than it honestly is.
That said, it is the best job I have ever had, and I have been a bouncer at bars, clubs, and pool halls for years.
I went on tour with a few unusual bands, acting as security while I was in their concerts. This task, however, pays a lot better, has a friendly environment, and there are never any fights! Not that you would expect fights to break out at a cannabis dispensary, however this location is in a bad part of town, and sometimes trouble comes in the door. The last thing anyone expects to see in a cannabis dispensary is a 400 pound, bald headed, tattoo-covered man to greet you at the door. I introduce myself to every customer, and offer a fist bump to welcome them to the cannabis dispensary, just tapping against my cannonball-sized fist sends them a message that they should by no means try and steal any cannabis products. I would care about not to run people out of the store, or carry them out, so I just send a message to pretty much everyone who enters the cannabis dispensary, and we have yet to have any majors problems, which is scarce for any kind of marijuana business, however I like to guess I have something to do with that. They started calling me the Cooler, and even gave me a shirt with a giant marijuana leaf on it that reads “it would be a lot Cooler if you did.”
