I go to bar and beyond most weekends and have never had an issue apart from an incident last year where my coat was given by a member of staff to a randomer who obviously didn't have the token - after months of complaining and multiple phone calls I got compensation for this (not enough to cover the cost of the coat). Last Saturday myself and 4 friends were out and they were all searched on entry, I wasn't but after we got in a member of staff came after me and said I had to ...be searched out the back. She told me that even if nothing was found I was going to be kicked out anyway as the manager for some reason didn't want me there but I let her search me to show I had nothing to hide. I asked to speak to the manager as I wanted an explanation but they refused. Myself and 2 friends got our entry money back which is something but 2 other members of the group who also left with us were refused theirs. I understand that precautions need to be taken regarding drugs etc but I was fully searched and had nothing on me and I want an explanation for this. As I said I go here most weekends but will definitely be rethinking this in the future after this unnecessary embarrassing experience.
