<p>I’ll second one of things above: Main Line bars spend good money on bouncers - they’re tough and clever and they’ll make you suffer if you mess with them. I used to work in a bar nearby campus. Our bouncers used to do the following routine:</p>
<p>'Nova kid with fake: Hi! How are you?</p>
<p>Bouncer: (looking suspiciously at ID, then at the kid, then back at the ID) I’m keeping this.</p>
<p>'Nova kid: What?!</p>
<p>Bouncer: It’s fake. (puts the ID in back pocket)</p>
<p>'Nova kid: You can’t do that! Give it back.</p>
<p>Bouncer: It’s mine now. I’ll sell it back if you’d like. Give me $50 for it. Or, if you want it back without paying, call the police and tell them the big mean security guy took your fake ID away. You have five seconds to decide.</p>
<p>I used to love watching this happen. A word of warning, TAKE YOUR FAKE DOWNTOWN! But, even then, make sure it’s good. It’s common for club/bar owners to pay their staff up to $100 for fake IDs. After all, when a liquor license costs upwards of half a million dollars, you want to do everything you can not to lose it.</p>
