>Most people upon meeting a security guard with their face obscured and being on camera broadcasted to the whole club are going to turn tail and go someplace else because that shit is not fun and makes them feel uncomfortable.
I get where you're coming from, but I'd argue that the surveillance presence in commercial businesses, retail stores and clubs alike, is already pretty commonplace and out in the open for people to notice. Target, Best Buy, Walgreens, and other big corps typically have CCTV feeds visible at their entrances to deter shoplifting, and more recently video feeds have popped up at self-checkout kiosks. I feel that drawing attention to the cameras by broadcasting their video feed to the rest of the club would be no different than what the companies mentioned above practice, albeit to a lesser degree of how I'd want a club to present its security. Regardless of whether it's shown to clubgoers or not, surveillance cameras should definitely be placed within the establishment for security reasons.
I suppose one way to lessen the intimidation that some patrons may feel upon visiting would be to market the place more as a theme park attraction/novelty bar, similar to places like the Robot Restaurant in Kabukicho but with a lot more grit. If clubgoers are aware that the presentation of the club is closer to role playing, I think it would put people's guard down knowing it's a charade to an extent.
>To keep out problem people just have the security guards check ID at the door like they're supposed to and input it into a database on the pretext of "Customer loyalty" or something. Even better if the club is successful enough, offer some kind of perks for frequent customers, like access to a "secret menu" or semi-private booths.
The idea of a loyalty program with special perks would be a smart way of merging security and exclusivity with club attendees, and I'd imagine some bars and clubs already follow this practice. If you wanted to get really CCP with it, you could implement a social credit system that takes into account your interactions wiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
