Well I am going to add my 2 cents here as well.
I absolutely agree that there should be an ID system in place. The problem people will be weeded out and a proper ban list can be made.
For example, Tonight when I was there, a pushy guy did not want to accept my NO. He and a friend he came with followed a different girl. She was uncomfortable and fairly new, she asked me what to do. I told them to leave her alone. A short time after, she asked me to help her find her room, so I walked her to her room. Again, he followed. I told him not interested. Once in her room, I went back to mine. He followed me again. When I told him no he started arguing with me. After 4 or 5 more times of telling him no a staff member happened to walk past. I told him what happened and he was booted immediately.
Now, because the staff had his ID on hand, they can add him to the ban list and he wont be able to come back.
Most people that come to SW are men. Most of them do not deal with the pushy men that do not want to listen to a woman when she says not interested. Im a bigger girl, and I am more than capable of asserting dominance should I need to, but the other girl tonight was 5 foot tall, and 100lbs soaking wet, and too scared to speak up to a different man
Privacy is important, but safety should always be top priority and this helps with that.
And really, you need to show an ID to get a hotel room, buy alcohol or go to an R rated movie, so why not to get access to a place like SW.
Also, huge shout out to the staff on shift for how they dealt with the situation tonight, and for checking in on myself and the other girl after the whole situation was dealt with.
