I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I
normally
love
attending
concerts
at
this
venue!
I
went
to
a
bunch
during
a
trip
I
had
here
in
2019,
and
now,
in
2021,
I’ve
moved
back
and
was
looking
forward
to
returning
to
Revival
for
another
show.
I’ve
been
legally
going
to
bars
and
concerts
for
the
past
5
years,
and
I’ve
never
had
an
experience
with
a
security
guard
that
I
found
inappropriately
confrontational
like
this:
I
had
recently
arrived
and
was
standing
in
line,
waiting
to
get
inside.
It
was
moving
slowly
due
to
the
venue
being
at
capacity,
they
could
only
let
someone
in
when
someone
came
out.
I
wasn’t
inebriated/
confrontational
in
any
way,
and
this
security
guard
and
I
have
never
met
before
so
we
have
no
history
of
any
unpleasant
exchanges.
There
are
two
things
I
think
could
have
put
him
on
edge:
First,
I
am
friends
with
the
people
who
organized
the
event
that
evening,
and
they
had
placed
my
name
on
the
guest
list.
A
friend
of
mine
who
was
working
that
night
came
out
to
help
me
jump
to
the
front
of
the
line.
Second,
I
moved
from
Alberta
one
month
ago,
and
have
an
Alberta
Drivers
License
that
I
cannot
switch
to
an
Ontario
Drivers
License
until
I
receive
my
Drivers
Abstract
in
the
mail.
My
current
AB
Drivers
license
was
recently
renewed,
and
its
design
has
been
updated
from
the
last
one
I
was
issued
in
2017.
Perhaps
it
doesn’t
look
like
Alberta
IDs
he’s
seen
in
the
past.
I
hand
it
over
and
right
away
he
did
not
believe
it
was
real.
Instead
of
quizzing
me
on
the
information
by
asking
me
to
recite
my
full
name,
address,
postal
code,
eye
colour,
etc.,
he
abruptly
escalated
the
situation
by
exclaiming
“This
is
a
fake
license,
the
plastic
is
too
thin,
it’s
not
real!”,
and
started
bending
it
so
forcefully
that
I
IMMEDIATELY
felt
uncomfortable.
This
is
a
legitimate
drivers
license,
so
I
said
“Please
do
NOT
bend
it
like
that”.
He
momentarily
stopped
and
I
hurried
to
get
out
a
second
ID
of
mine,
my
Alberta
Health
Card,
which
has
no
photo
but
does
include
my
full
name
and
birth
date
on
it.
He
began
bending
my
ID
again
in
the
same
manner
to
show
another
security
guard,
and
I
said
again
“I
do
NOT
appreciate
you
bending
it
that
way,
that
is
my
legal,
government
issued
ID”.
When
I
got
out
my
Alberta
Health
Card,
he
promptly
attempted
to
reject
it
by
demanding
I
show
a
different
piece
of
ID
with
my
picture
on
it.
I’m
not
a
student,
so
I
don’t
have
a
second
piece
of
photo
ID
in
my
wallet.
The
only
other
photo
ID
I
have
is
my
passport,
which
was
at
home.
I
finally
ended
the
situation
by
offering,
without
prompt,
my
vaccine
passport,
which
also
has
my
name,
birthdate,
and
province
of
origin.
How
was
this
behaviour
acceptable
in
any
way?
-He
didn’t
follow
any
professional
protocol
to
verify
my
knowledge
of
my
own
identification
-I
had
to
ask
twice
for
him
to
stop
physically
mishandling
my
ID
-He
was
prepared
to
reject
two
pieces
of
legal
identification
-I
couldn’t
reason
with
him
because
he
wouldn’t
make
eye
contact
or
speak
directly
to
me
throughout
this
interaction,
his
efforts
were
exclusively
directed
towards
convincing
the
other
security
guard
that
my
ID
wasn’t
real
I
don’t
know
if
he
was
just
having
a
bad
night,
or
if
he
was
still
being
trained,
but
I
felt
disrespected.
Please
have
the
security
staff
review
their
training
on
verifying
ID,
and
practice
non-escalating
confrontation.
