Don't be dumb. It's not that complicated. The Sx staff knows shit. However, many doorfolk are too busy or lazy (effort being hard) to pull the long hours Sx demands. So, often, the Sx geek is solo at the gate. Stick a white bar towel in your back pocket. If further i.d. is needed, show your beer key. Then say, "I work here," and roll your eyes like s/he's the biggest jackass in the world. 100% success. Other suitable props: bag of ice, empty keg, hand truck, bof of cd's, bundle of bar linen. Some props only work in conjunction with a uniform or the phrase "I'm just dropping this off." BTW, for girls-- imitating market reps works, too. And the shwag girls from Miller Lite get doggier by the year, so even thunder thighs can make that work with some Hooters' nylons and a box of blinking buttons.

I think I'll just hunker down and wait for the out of towners to leave like I did last year.
