Blood & Piss: or misadventures at the side door.
Working the side door can be boring or interesting, it depends on the crowd. Most nights you can count on some interesting scenery but the more you drink, the more entertaining you become.
One night, there was a young man who pinballed his way down the stairs and then stopped in front of the storage closet. He tried to open it but found the door locked. He then proceeded to lean against the wall and wait for the door to open. After a few minutes, he was starting to shift his weight from foot to foot and became motivated to knock on the door. By this point there have been a few guys walking back to the stairs from the mens room. Finally, the guy standing outside the storage closet picks up on this and heads that way. After finishing up, he falls up the stairs twice at which point I just hold open the door for him and let him know it's time to go home.
A different night, there was a woman who dropped her glass and broke it. We were able to get it swept up fairly quickly but as she's standing out of the way, her friend notices she standing in a puddle of blood. It suddenly becomes very apparent that this woman has nicked an artery in her ankle. Luckily she can't feel it so she holds still while we administer first aid. After getting the bleeding to stop and bandaging her up, the manager sent her to the hospital. Luckily, it wasn't serious but it was amusing watching this woman turn in circles trying to figure out where the blood was coming from.
