Bouncers can also be responsible for collecting an entry fee, or "cover", escorting other employees to and from their vehicles, and providing limited first aid to patrons.
Bouncers are stereotypically portrayed (most famously in the American film '' Road House '') as large muscular men, martial arts experts and/or street fighters who remove drunk and/or disorderly patrons from an establishment using violent hand to hand combat methods, then further punish said individuals outside the establishment with more physical violence.

 The Bouncer: Proving Properties of Instruction-Level Programs
First, the Bouncer derives a model of the state of the abstract machine before and after each instruction in the module being checked that is consistent with all forks and joins called for by the instructions.
The Bouncer inevitably either rejects the program for being unsafe or converges to a single consistent model describing the state of the Joule abstract machine prior to each instruction in the module.
After the Bouncer has derived a single consistent state history of the Joule abstract machine based on the control-flow checking, the Bouncer then passes through the instructions of the module and applies the test and mutate rules to each, based on the state arrived at in the control-flow check for each instruction.

Any bouncer working the door at a high-end club in the West Village is being paid a relative crapload of money to do so.
