Our purpose at the venue is to enforce their rules and to ensure that everyone is safe as much as possible. for the most part people dont generally have a problem with taking their hats off inside the venue.
most venues have rules of entry, some i agree with ,some i dont. either way we have to enforce them.
Kind Regards

Having once worked the doors Mobius I see where your coming from. Back in 74 I was working the main entrance to the Cav in Blackburn on what was known as the Bridge, i was only early around 8-15pm so I was alone (would be joined by 5 others at 8-30) the side door opened and a really smart bloke came in, he had a powder blue denim suit on with a black polo neck sweater. I aid I'm sorry Sir we have a no denim policy in the club so can not allow you to enter, oh, can I see the manager please, well he will only say the same thing sir, I'm sorry, I would really like to see the manager if I may, okay, so I asked the receptionist to ring Phil the manager and ask him to pop down to reception, which he did, I told him the story and we went onto the bridge, I've never seen colour drain out of anybodies face so fast, do you know who that is, No, he owns the blood place, seems it was the CEO John Smith.
But the bottom line is I got complimented by Mr Smith for the polite and professional way I had dealt with the situation
