met a guy in dublin who makes €480,000 a year standing outside nightclubs making people wait
hes not a bouncer
doesnt own any of them
works for 8 different clubs across the city
each one pays him €5,000 a month
his entire job is deciding how slowly the line moves
asked him why the clubs pay someone just to slow down their own customers
"they used to rush people in. then they worked out a fast line is the same as no line. a slow line of 40 people is the best ad the club can run. every person walking past sees it, assumes its worth waiting for, tells their friends"
"so what are you optimising"
"the queue should sit at around 12% of interior capacity. 40 ish people. sustained. visible from two streets away. thats the sweet spot"
"what if the inside is actually dead"
he shrugged
"i let 2 in. hold 8 outside for 10 minutes. the 8 are the advertising. doesnt matter if the inside is empty. the street doesnt know"
"do the people in the line ever figure it out"
"the smart ones realise the line doesnt move because its not supposed to move. they leave. the rest stay because theyve already waited 20 minutes and dont want to waste it"
"sunk cost"
"i just manage the sunk cost"
the numbers:
- 8 venues
- €5,000 per month each
- €480,000 a year
- 4 nights a week, 9pm to 2am
- one clipboard
- zero marketing budget
he finished his pint and said the thing i think about every time i see a queue now
"the people in the line arent waiting to get in. they are the ad. the clubs just pay me to keep it the right length"
the queue isnt waiting for something worth it
it IS the worth it
human billboard
he just keeps it lit

@conorleeson I think you can probably just find another airport and cut the BS self-entitled attitude??

@jkpkrn_ Performative children who think it’s edgy to say their team is shit.
Grow up and be blindly loyal.

@DavQuinn Oh I thought you were talking about cultural distinctiveness
English

Opening the pubs on #GoodFriday stripped Ireland of another bit of cultural distinctiveness. It was a grubby, materialistic, crass thing to do dressed up in the clothes of 'progress'.

@KarlBrophy @realBobbyHealy @AerLingus AL have certainly lost a bit of their sparkle ! But this is a good move

@realBobbyHealy @AerLingus Would honestly prefer if they improved the appalling wine list and food first.
But Starlink is very good. Was getting 380mbps on it on Emirates a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t blow my own trumpet as it’s not my style or the style for people from the city of Liverpool, but we are allowed to defend ourselves!
There has only been three CB’s from LFC to make the PFA TOTY in the PL era, VVD, Sami & me!!
The year was 2005/6 when the PL CB’s were…….

Carragher was Henderson of his time. A loud leader that pushed teammates to be better. Overall he was an average CB with outstanding moments like Istanbul after 1st half. Because he is a famous pundit and a local lad he is overrated by local fans. PFA Team Of The Year once.

@JohnnyDelaney9 @danielgothits Muscle memory. Repetition. Habit.
