I went to Barrio on Saturday night along with two of my girlfriends to enjoy a girls night out. As soon as we arrived we decided to get a drink and smoke a cigarette outside. We were told by the security lady that we had 3 minutes to smoke and go back inside because after that, drinks were not going to be allowed outside anymore. A minute later (please check CCTV) the same lady reached us saying we had to take the drinks inside or she was going to throw them away. I personally replied that we had just lit our cigarette, we were going to finish smoking and immediately go inside to finish our drinks. Apparently, she wasn't happy with the polite answer I gave (yes, we were fully sober) and she started arguing, to which I decided I didn't want to reply to as the goal of my night was to have fun with my friends. It was very crowded outside, 90% of the people were men who were quite resistant to the idea of having to go inside to drink, but the lady decided to stand in front of us making us feel uncomfortable, while the guys behind her were literally doing whatever they wanted. She argued to the point my friend replied to let us finish smoking, to which she shouted a loud "NO" and accusing her of poor English proficiency. Everyone started staring at us. I never felt more embarrassed, harassed and mortified during a night out with my friends. Needless to say we were frustrated and upset, our mood dropped and this lady almost spoiled our night. Now, I would like to specify we are married professionals in our 30s, we were sober and just happy to go out together. I'm still wondering what could be the reason for a woman to yell at other women with such impetuosity and rage. I've never had such a negative experience at a bar or club and I think it's important to voice these kind of episodes to avoid them from happening again. Working in security must be hard, but that is not an excuse to harass people.
