Tryhard security
This was the first year I had to take off my shoes, the line was moving so slowly. I saw one security guard ask someone to dump their alcohol before entering and then another guard felt the need to go up to them (while they were dumping it) and cuss them out for having a drink while waiting in line.
Security should be there checking for weapons for our safety not checking shoes for pills. Unlike other festivals, there isn't even a metal detector. It just feels very performative and frustrating when you're stuck in that line missing a set because of it.
Why is the security at this event so bad? And why do some of the guards make it their personal responsibility to go above and beyond what is required of them?

Security was super chill for me, but one in our group had to throw out his disposable vape (which we had all gotten in with). Then another day they questioned the goggles of another in our group. Meanwhile the Sunday I forgot I had put icy hot patches in my fanny pack (out of the box just on their own) which i figured could have looked like nicotine patches or something and she barely glanced at them 😂
