Black Woman Isn't Let inside the Club – Story of the Day

Alison and Nicholas are eager for a night of fun at an upmarket nightclub, but it all starts falling apart when the bouncer refuses to let Alison inside. However, the night takes an unexpected turn when the staff realizes a mysterious social media influencer is at the club.

Alison and Nicholas approached the Indigo Club with excitement. The pulsating music from inside hinted at the lively atmosphere awaiting them. As they neared the front of the line, Alison's joy knew no bounds.

"I'm so excited," she whispered to Nicholas. "Everyone says this place is amazing."

"I hope they're right," Nicholas responded with a grin.

The bouncer unclipped the velvet rope for Nicholas but swiftly intervened as Alison followed, clipping it back and blocking her path.

"You can't come in here," the bouncer said sternly, looking at Alison.

"What? Why not?" Alison asked, her brows furrowed.

"We have a strict dress code. Bare shoulders are not allowed."

Alison was wearing a dress that covered her shoulders, so the bouncer's remarks were obviously nonsense. "I know that's not your concern. What's the real issue here?" she asked stiffly.

To diffuse the situation, Nicholas offered Alison his coat, which she immediately put on. "Okay, what about now?"

"No," the bouncer replied flatly, not even glancing at her.

"And why not this time?" Alison pressed, her frustration evident.

"The problem is you look suspicious, and I can't search you," the bouncer declared.

"I look suspicious? Why can't you just search me then?" Alison challenged.

"Only female guards can search you," he explained.

"So, call one of your female guards," Nicholas interjected.

"We don't have any female guards," the bouncer admitted.

"How can you not have female guards for a policy like this? It's clear what's really happening here. It's because I'm black, isn't it? I deserve the same treatment as everyone else!" Alison snapped.

"Maybe we should just go," Nicholas suggested, sensing the futility of the situation.

Right then, a woman with a manager's badge approached the bouncer and Alison near the club's entrance. "Is there a problem here?" she asked sternly.

"Yes," Alison replied. "Your bouncer's racist."

The manager, Gina, apologized and offered Alison a complimentary cocktail to diffuse the situation. Alison and Nicholas entered the club triumphantly.

Once Alison and Nicholas were out of sight, Gina turned to the bouncer, Jim, and scolded him. "Why are you making a scene? The big influencer from Austin who reviews nightclubs is coming here tonight. We don't need a scandal."

"But you said not to let certain people in!" Jim protested.

"Yes, but do it quietly, Jim, without drawing attention. I may have hired you for your brawn, but I assume you have enough brains to know how to be discrete," Gina hissed before walking away.

Meanwhile, Alison and Nicholas reached the bar. "The manager said I get a free cocktail. I'll have a Negroni," Alison told the bartender cheerfully.

Nicholas slid into an empty seat at Alison's side. "I was just about to say the same thing."

The bartender, however, was hostile. "I have a cocktail for you, a black mamba. Now get out," he snapped at Alison.

Nicholas was outraged. "How dare you talk to my friend this way?"

Ignoring them, the bartender walked away.

"Can you believe this?" Alison said to Nicholas. "First the bouncer, now the bartender."

Nicholas was ready to confront them, but Alison stopped him. "Maybe we should just leave. We came to have a good time, and that's not happening here."

Nick glanced around the room then. He realized Alison was the only person of color in the room, a detail he'd missed in online posts about the club. "I'm sorry, Alison," he said. "I didn't realize this place was racist. Let me try to fix this."

Alison agreed but warned, "Any more racism, and we're out."

Nick nodded and confronted the bartender. "Hey, I'm talking to you," he said angrily. "We're waiting for our drinks and an apology for your behavior."

Meanwhile, Gina, the manager, noticed a post from the nightclub influencer that had captured Neil, the bartender, showing off his skills. She was interrupted when she heard Nicholas's confrontation. She decided to intervene, instructing Jim over her earpiece to join her.

"I demand an apology!" Nicholas insisted. "You insulted my friend."

Gina approached him, trying to control the situation. "Please accept my apologies," she said to Alison. "Rest assured that I will be taking my staff aside to discuss this matter and ensure it will not happen again."

"That's not enough! Your staff have done nothing but humiliate me all evening," Alison retorted. "They should all be fired for their racist behavior."

It was getting harder and harder for Gina to maintain her professional veneer. Part of her hated Jim at that point. If he'd just handled things correctly at the door, she wouldn't be stuck here doing damage control.

"Again, I'm so sorry. We will do everything possible to make it up to you. We're going to make our VIP room available to you tonight," Gina assured.

Alison and Nicholas were skeptical. "VIP room?" Nicholas questioned. "I didn't even know they had one."

Alison doubted the offer. "If they couldn't get the first drink right, why trust the VIP room?"

Nicholas shrugged. "Trashing the place is still an option."

Alison smiled faintly.

"You'll be treated well in the VIP room," Gina reassured them. "I'll brief the bartender, and Jim will ensure it."

"And I have so much faith in Jim," Alison muttered sarcastically. "Fine. Let's see this VIP room."

Alison marched off, visibly annoyed, followed by Nicholas and Jim, the bouncer. Gina watched them go and signaled the bartender for a drink before following them.

In a staff-only corridor, Jim led them to a supposed VIP room, which turned out to be a storeroom. He pushed Alison and Nicholas in and locked the door. From outside, Gina coldly informed them they'd be locked up until morning for the club's reputation.

"So you're in on this too?" Alison yelled in disbelief.

"Oh baby, all I care about is the reputation of this club, and you people turn this VIP place into a freaking house party, uncultured and chaotic. Jim will let you out in the morning. Ciao!" she replied indifferently before walking away.

Inside the storeroom, Alison and Nicholas felt helpless. Nicholas checked his phone. "Darn it, no cell reception."

Alison handed him her phone. "There's one bar."

"Remember trashing this place? Let's do it."

Alison agreed. "I've been victimized and humiliated. Let's ruin this place."

Meanwhile, Gina and Jim surveilled the club. "Everything is perfect," Gina said, scanning for the mysterious influencer.

Jim pointed out potential influencers, but Gina dismissed them.

Suddenly, a woman at the bar gasped at her phone and exclaimed, "You people should be ashamed!" before storming out.

Gina, Jim, and Neil shared confused glances. All the patrons started checking their phones and leaving. Suddenly, Gina's tablet dinged, revealing Nicholas's video exposing the club's racist behavior.

"Hi, everybody. This is Nicholas, the secret nightclub reviewer. I'm revealing my face to all of you for the first time today because I have something very important to share with you about the Indigo Club," Nicholas declared in the video.

"Oh God, it was him all this time," Gina muttered under her breath.

"I'm at this disgusting place right now," Nicholas said, his voice cutting through the club's atmosphere. "I can honestly say I've never been to a worse club. The staff were all racist, from the bouncer who didn't want to let my friend Alison in because of her skin color to the bartender who made a racist comment to her face before proceeding to ignore both of us. And, believe it or not, it gets worse.

"When we complained to the manager, she apologized and told us we'd be upgraded to their VIP room for the rest of the night, but guess what? That was all an elaborate trick. They led us downstairs and locked us in the basement. Look behind me, and you'll see the exposed pipes…"

"Jim, get them out," Gina ordered, watching the fallout unfold on her tablet.

Nicholas and Alison stormed out of the storeroom. Gina tried to apologize, claiming it was a prank, but Alison was outraged.

"A prank? So racism is a joke to you?" Alison retorted.

Gina offered Nicholas an envelope of money, suggesting they sponsor his next video and remove the current one. Nicholas considered it, but Alison was appalled.

"Nicholas, you're out of your mind. How could you do this to me?" Alison exclaimed.

"It's business. I'll deal with it," Nicholas responded, accepting Gina's offer.

Nicholas then took photos of Gina and Jim, feigning camaraderie. "We'll make everything look first class in the new video," he said.

Gina was relieved. "It's a pleasure to do business with you," she said, offering her card.

Nicholas pocketed the envelope. "Don't worry; the review will be great. My followers respect my authenticity, and after what they saw tonight, they'll be hanging on my every word when I bury you," he declared, his tone challenging.

"But we made a deal!" Gina exclaimed, confused.

Nicholas was firm. "I'll tell everyone how you treat customers and about your bribery attempt. I have thousands of followers. Your photo is gonna be everywhere."

Alison backed him up. "I'm calling the police. You'll be hearing from us."

Gina was stunned. "The police? What are you talking about?"

"False imprisonment and bribery," Nicholas said. "We're pressing charges."

He led Alison out, leaving Gina and Jim to deal with the fallout. In her office, Gina pondered the severity of the situation. "Nicholas has a huge online presence. We're in trouble."

Jim suggested a public apology for damage control.

Gina agreed, instructing Jim to learn more about Nicholas and Alison.

Outside, Nicholas broadcasted live, passionately exposing the Indigo Club. "The Indigo Club can't silence us. We won't let them," he declared.

Alison, on the phone with the police, detailed their experience of false imprisonment, attempted bribery, and racism.

Nicholas's livestream gained traction, with viewers echoing their support. "Let's show them we won't tolerate discrimination," he said, looking at Alison. "We won't let them get away with this."
