your request was not unreasonable... that is true. But your stance after it was denied was...
the door person was just trying to do her job. i would expect that a patron should also be understanding of that situation.

: Eye Contact, Sir... eye contact is what I made. If YOU know a bit of salsa dancing (and I'm getting personal just because you assume I am hard-headed) it's hard to communicate with someone when you are at the door with someone telling you to FU** off, while you are trying to grab the attention of someone else doing 5 turns in as many seconds on a crowded floor. My friend saw me, but in the fleeting glances we exchanged I did not know how to COMMUNICATE to her that I would be waiting outside. Maybe I'll watch you and learn.
: And I don't think my request was unreasonable. I WAS AT THE DOOR. The song was ending in a few minutes. I was going to get her out of there. What part of that is HARD to understand, huh? Too bad, in order to make $10 out of me, she probably will lose a lot more than just my business. A drop in the ocean, you say, but a drop nevertheless. Every drop counts... and if you are a bouncer/collector, you should know that!

: : Well...you said you had made contact with the person you were looking for. why not just say yes, give the door lady her a funny look and wait outside. I think that would have been better. and save you any headaches.
: : On the other hand perhaps you are just hard-headed person that does not like being told what you can do or not...and got aggravated for that.
: : If that is case, then she was just doing her job.
: : hernan
: : Remember, person that handles the door must be able to talk, understand, listen. Sometimes that is just
