Brownnosing the Bouncer

In the book I mention offering cigarettes to the bouncer as a way to endear him to you outside the club. It's a small favor that probably won't get you in for free, but it can sometimes give you an opportunity for a three minute conversation that could change his mind.

In this blog of a New York bouncer, he mentions something else that worked for him. A patron was about to go into the club and told the bouncer that he was going to the convenience store nearby, and asked if the bouncer needed anything from there. When he returned with a Gatoraid, the bouncer let him in and all his friends for free. That's a good one.
