In a sense, you're right, but I can still argue some of the thoughts. There's a huge difference between security standing in the corner (or at the bar or wherever) making their presence known and "bowing up", so to speak, anytime anyone comes near one of the employees. I've had nights where I've walked into a new club, fairly nicely dressed (but not in a full suit and tie), and the second I walk in the door, the bouncer is staring me down and doing stuff like stretching his neck and arms, almost to say "You look at anyone the wrong way and I'll tear your throat out". Needless to say, I left after 1 drink. I've also seen (and obviously read on here) many times where a pushy dancer drives someone away from a dance. Too many times, an owner doesn't realize what it's like to be a customer, just someone who wants a dollar.
