Bouncers_with_degree said:
“Let’s not be too quick to blame the bouncer. His primary duty is to protect his principal, acting within the guidelines provided by the principal, including who to allow near and who to keep at a distance. Unless directed otherwise by the principal, the bouncer’s role is to ensure safety at all costs. So, while it might seem harsh, he was simply doing his job as instructed. Understanding this helps us appreciate the professionalism behind such responsibilities. Also as a bouncer, always conduct an advance check before taking your principal to any location. Proper preparation ensures your principal’s safety and smooth movement, leaving no room for unexpected issues.
