          Think bouncer, not mall cop.

          Also, you know things outside of your own personal experience exist right? I’m not trying to be mean but you keep reiterating that point so I just am going to be sarcastically clear that that’s not how it works.

            A bouncer in a hotel? Even less …

            The term “news to me” clearly conveys the notion I am learning this new piece of data

            I never even implied you were lying, I was just surprised never seen what you claimed

            But If it is this important to you, here it goes: I was wrong, you were right. You have earned a place in the halls of the internet people who know more than others … All praise to you

      Sometimes security officers wear suits like the rest of staff.
