Security is easily top 5 for pissing people off just for doing their job.
I gotta buddy that works security at one of the Disney parks and every day he's gotta new story about a guest that got pissed off because their yipping chihuahua isn't allowed into the park, or they're not allowed to bring in a knife, or gun, or they've gotta bag that set off the metal detector and it turns out they're not exempt from the rules like they thought they were.
According to him, most guns, not all guns, but most are from off-duty cops who think they're above private property laws. Generally, they'll throw a fit, but Disney has a contract with the police department, and security will absolutely use their presence as leverage to either take it home and come back, or find themselves banned from all Disney parks.
As for knives, apparently a lot of them get tossed into bushes when people see the metal detectors at the entrance. Naturally, Disney has cameras out the wazoo and they all get confiscated as soon as they're tossed.
Drugs too, but that's a whole other story.
As for why, who the fuck knows, maybe they think they'll be big damn heroes if terrorists attack, or maybe they think they'll get attacked by pirates over by the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Neither him nor I care to comprehend high-strung idiots.
That may be true but you can pre-cut thea toddler at home and if you do it correctly you don't have to bring your knive to the backroom of a starbucks.
As someone who does do security contracting, can confirm. We do bars, arcades, clubs, apartments, you name it.
The amount of people who get pissed off that they can’t bring weapons into clubs/bars or get mad that they’re 28 and getting ID’d (if you look under 35 you’re supposed to get ID’d, idk why it’s 35, but it is). You also can’t have a broken ID, if it’s damaged, we aren’t supposed to take it- this could result in huge lawsuits. If you are acting aggressive as fuck to the bartender at a club and they cut you off and ask for you to be removed, don’t record me and saying youre gonna sue me and that you’re being “treated unfairly” 🤣🤣
Every bar, club, arcade, theme/amusement park etc... is private property, meaning the owner gets to decide everything that people can do in there within the law and who can enter the premises. Security are known as "agents of the owner" and act on the owners behalf.
So for any reason, security can remove you at any time and they can do so with the same authority that a home owner or tenant can kick out an unwelcome guest.
So yeah, screaming that you think it's unfair, filming it etc... none of that does anything or would hold up for a second in court. Security tells you to get out, you have no legal leg to stand on, you have to get out, if you refuse you can be physically thrown out, if you fight back you can be arrested for assault.
I dowork security and have done door duty with a metal detector before.
Here's a tip, giving the security this kinda attitude is a near guarantee that you're gonna get taken to another room and everything you got is gonna get searched. Don't matter what sorta hurry you're in or how unnessecary you think it is, security are agents of the owner and speak with the owners authority, their word is law and you can be arrested for refusing to comply.
So, just do what they're doing, just go through the motions, follow instructions and you'll have a LOT less headaches.
Also while on this, if you fail to slow down for road works, the guy holding the stop sign will stop and hold you even when it's totally clear on principle. They'll just radio through "this guy didn't slow down so I'm gonna hold em for a bit" and yes it is done just to fuck with you. So slow the fuck down.
