I was large enough to play football, but not fast enough, instead, I ended up being a bouncer at a local club, however whenever a live musical act would play I would hover near the stage, to make sure nothing terrible happened.
Usually it was very peaceful, but depending on the kind of music and the drink specials, people would get drunk and rowdy plus there would be an altercation, then breaking up fights wasn’t terrible work, I guess, but it didn’t pay very well.
These nights I have moved on to “greener” pastures, and I check IDs at the door of the local cannabis dispensary. Even though this is a legit business, run very similarly to a pharmacy, it is still a marijuana company and therefore it’s wise to be prepared for an uncivilized element. We do get people who come into the cannabis dispensary with no currency or intent to buy anything, they are just looking for freebies, or to shoplift. Well, with a large hoss appreciate me at the door, you better believe everyone thinks twice about trying to pocket any cannabis products from our store! We also have a camera system, but no one watches them, we just record everything in case some cannabis products go missing so we can have proof. I love this work, because I’ve had to chase a few people out of the cannabis dispensary, I haven’t had to break up a single fistfight. That’s the great thing about cannabis smokers, unlike drunks they are not prone to acts of violence, just taking naps
