Thanks! And thanks for responding!

Has a situation ever occurred where you had to immediately throw someone out, but then you came to the realization that the patron did not warrant being thrown out? Like you went to brake up a fight, and you pulled one guy out of the middle and pushed him out, only to realize that he was only trying to break up the fight? Or someone tells you they were harassed, and you go to try to kick the person out, only to have them tell you they weren't being harassing, with multiple people backing them up? If you have ever done it, how did you respond? Did you let the person back in? And if it has never happened, how would you respond?

Also, as a bouncer, do you ever pick up on certain characteristics or traits that make you think a person is more likely to cause a scene? I've worked in this before, and I've noticed that sometimes (obviously not all the time), the people that just walk in, thinking they don't have to show ID or pay cover or whatever (and have no stamp proving they already paid), and then get all upset when I block their path and ask them for ID or cover, that when they get all upset about it, that these are the kind of people that are most likely to cause shit. Some apologize, as it was just a misunderstanding, and I see that, but others think they own the place. Sometimes they even try to pull the whole "cmon man, I see you all the time here!" First of all, you don't, as I don't work that frequently, and second of all, I do recognize you. You're the person that's always an asshole. When I enter bars and concerts, I always try to be as warm as possible, smiling frequently and the such. Also a little of the small talk, too, if they are receptive, as I enjoyed it between the constant monotony.
