Does the bar hire individual bouncers, or do you work for a company that staffs the bar.. I've worked for both, and now a group of us that worked together just stick together and go in and staff a bar if need be.. Our bottom dollar is 20 an hour per bouncer.. For anything less it's not worth the time bro.. I can understand with favors and all.. Like i said before it all comes down to the paticular crowd the bar draws in.. You guys must get a bunch of tourists coming in, out of towners - I'm sure you earn your money by the end of the night.. One paticular bar I bounce we do about 1500-2000 people through the door every saturday night (it's about 1400 that stay give or take).. We have upwards of 18 bouncers on staff.. Granted i would say only a handfull can pull their weight, the others float around and portray themself as security, but only a handful will actually get in the sh!t.. One of the owners is a middleaged Italian guy, My 3rd year in this place, and he finally knows me by first name - before he would just call me 'son'.. haha Son go get that fuk out of here now!!! good times!!! LOL
