WHY AM I SO COLD?
Bamboo Nightclub seemed so inviting with the Q-Skip passes and the girl's free entrance. We entered quite sober, having just come from a quiet pub, and checked our two coats together. We were given ONE ticket for our coats, which is normal in the Canadian bars we're used to, and proceeded to have a terrible time in the 3 too-loud and most foul smelling dance floors we've experienced. At around 1:30am we decided we had had enough, and went to claim our coats, but were only given one. They send us to the other window, and in our confusion we remembered aloud being given only one ticket, when we're interrupted by the bouncer who loudly says "I HIGHLY doubt that". Are they incapable of human error?

According to all of the staff, it's impossible for them to forget to give a ticket. Even though we were two confused foreigners, and could describe the approximate location of the coat (beside the one we had a ticket for), the brand of it, AND the exact place of each missing button on the coat, we were rudely interrupted each time we tried to speak with "we can't, you have to wait". There was no line behind us, it would have taken approximately 5 seconds to see if I was right. But instead of finding a solution, and looking to the area I was motioning at with my hand, I was told to "GET [MY] HAND OUT OF [HER] FACE". The manager also stopped by to get his coat, and ignored us. We stood there being ignored, and then finally being told to move out of the way, until 3:30AM. At which point I was begrudgingly given the same coat I had pointed at two hours before. And the girl working has the nerve to say "can you tell me what size it is?".

I can't walk home 15 minutes in Glasgow's winter without a jacket. In my experience, this was one of the most simple conflicts to resolve, and the MOST rude way I have ever been pushed aside. They apparently do not value politeness, and are incapable of solving problems for their paying customers, so if you wanted to be treated with any kind of respect STAY AWAY from this club.
