A guy in a stab vest on the door at Poundland. Two bouncers at KFC! You barely see security even in the supermarkets up here. Moreso in Glasgow etc. maybe but not out here in the sticks... usually one bored looking person sat at a little CCTV station, stopping people at the door because the cashier forgot to take the little sticker off a leg of lamb.

I am not talking about bouncers, never seen them at food outlets in London at all, not sure what area you were staying in

I am talking about training for staff on how to deal with difficult situations the public are notoriously difficult drunk or sober
