  • What would you say to $50?

    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

      So not only is he cheap and dishonest, he is incredibly naive as well.

      Just the type of person every company wants to have working security!

        Seriously people, if you are going to make an offer that could cost someone their job, you have to actually make it WORTH their job..... 50 bucks? sheesh.

        Also what, he is the only one of all the bazillion of concert goers who came up with the idea to bribe their way back stage? Okay...

        Much much fail in this one.

            Wow. I would have figured a Marine to have just a little more integrity then that.

              And of course my morbid curiosity begs that I ask the question: How many people have offered you sexual favors? I mean, with men I'm sure its a fair constant, but seeing as you're female, I'm especially curious.

                I honest haven't been flat out offered sexual favors. I get comments like "Oh come on but your hot" or "Yeah hot momma you wanna let me entertain you back stage" I did have one guy use a stick and write in teh dirt "I eat pussy" and then look at me and say "And that's a promise"

                I think the wedding ring is a big deterant to the offer of sexual favors. Come this winter I will have gloves on so we will see what happens then LOL.

                  A marine would also be prevented from taking that job, as they already have one of their own- that they can't quit

                  Methinks the SC lied about that as well.

                    They're like anyone else, sometimes a bad apple gets through the sorting process. I might call this one "amusingly dumb" rather than sucky, but that's just my opinion.

                      And let's not forget to he used the word "grunt" to try and put down P4L.

                      Marines are Grunts and proud of it. Mention to a marine about it being a part of the Navy and they will say, "I am a Grunt, not a Squid!."

                              Do let us know how the interview goes.
