I refused an ID card with maximum commotion. The man asked if we discriminated against epileptics and narcoleptics and then asked why we had the "no ID card" rule. He said that according to Kansas law we are facing a lawsuit because the law says ID cards are valid forms of ID. When I said that I was just following the owner's orders and I couldn't let him in, he told me that the owner obviously didn't want to make money I told him he could come back in 45 minutes and talk to the manager. So his woman (who had a driver's license) went to the back and bought cigarettes and then they left.

{for the record, we can refuse entry to anyone. and the 'no state ID' rule was because of a proliferation of fake state ID cards}

Well, we had this wedding party, all of whom were rude and annoying at
the door. We were full when they showed up so it took an hour to get
them all in. Then some bald guy thought he was lord of the dance or
something, who knows what he was doing. Oh yeah, and none of them were
drinking.
Then a soon-to-be-bride from a different wedding party fell off the bar. Will caught her. Go Will!

It’s Saturday night and the height of the evening. A long line of people waiting to get inside The Sandbar snakes around the building. A middle-aged man confidently strides past the entire line and makes his way to the door.
Man: I’ve seen the bar busier than this before. If you don’t let us in right now I’m going to call Peach and Ted and tell them to tell you to let us in.
Joe: Well, when you call them, tell them I’m doing my job.
Score one for the Factor and what may be his wittiest retort ever.

Dude tried to come in with a fake smoking card. I said he couldn’t come
in. He said he comes in all the time. I said but not tonight. He was
mad.

Rob Douglas missed a phone call and consequently his ride. Oops,
Heather’s fault. I hung up because I didn’t think there were any
patrons here by that name.

Turned
away a guy with a state ID who “knew the owner.” He just came back with
his dad. Still sent him on. Sorry, Apples and Fred.

Dave took a break from tending bar and was hanging out on one of the benches for a few minutes with his wife.ÂÂ
Joe was working the door and came over to ask Dave a very important question.
Joe:  Hey Dave there’s a girl at the door who can’t find her ID.
Dave: Well if they don’t have an ID, they can’t come in.ÂÂ
Rule #1 of the door, typically learned on the first day of the job.ÂÂ
