I was thinking today, about the power and authority security guards have in deciding who gets let in to different nightclubs/venues. The bouncers are the ones who ultimately decide who gets let in or not to each venue and are the enforces of the 'rules' once inside.
Firstly when in the queue for a club, bouncers judge those wanting to get in on many superficial areas such as race, gender, wealth and nationality based on assumed preconceived stereotypes. There is not limit effectively to who bouncers can and can't let in which puts them in ver powerful positions.
For example groups of guys are more likely to get turned away in the line then a group of girls.
I was wondering if there was some way we could maybe test this as an intervention to see if there are many hidden codes and conventions to being let in?
What do you guys think?
