I haven't posted in a couple months so one would think I have all kinds of nightmare stories from my concert security job. They changed my job reasonability’s so I don't get to deal with concert goers as often, I get to do all the hiring and spend more time on my office doing all the scheduling and supervising, but on the same note it means when I do deal with concert goers they are usually the ones complaining LOL.
Here is one story from the last week. I will post more later on.
I was asked to cover the guy watching the buss area so he could take a break. I walked towards the back of the busses near where the concert goers can go outside to smoke and gawk at the busses. A couple guys come walking up to where the rope is separating the two areas.
SC1: Hey what would you say to $50 to get us back stage?
Me: Just $50 or $50 from each of you
SC1: Just $50
Me: No
SC2: What about if we did $50 from each of us?
Me: Answer is still no
SC2: then why did you even ask us that question
Me: Morbid curiosity
SC1: Come on how often you do actually get offered money to sneak let someone go back stage?
Me: Per show or the total amount of times someone has tried to bribe me?
SC2:
You mean to say you have people offer you cash every show to try to get back stage?
Me: Among other things
SC1: How much is the most you have been offered?
Me: Let’s just say it was more then $50
SC2: So . . . . . how could I go about getting a job doing security here?
Me: You just tried to bribe security to get back stage do you really think I would hire someone like that?
SC2: I’m a marine though I would do a good job
Me: I don't care, you tried bribing me what makes me think you wont take money from someone else?
SC2: That is different, I bet you don’t even do the hiring I bet you’re just another stupid grunt trying to act all special and in charge
Me: Yep exactly that is why my shirt says “Security Coordinator” because I am just a grunt.
The security guy that was on break came back.
Security Guy: Hey Princess thanks for covering my break for me. Hey I have a friend that wants to work out here do you want me to have him call you?
Me: Totally have him call me and I will set up a time to meet with him and interview him in person.
And then I walked away
