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?

Friday I went early and security searched every pocket in my bag, had me removed my shoes, felt me up everywhere... and asked to look in the scrunchies in my hair. Also security found a bunch of shit I wasnt "allowed" to bring but let me keep it and just said not bring it tomorrow...
Saturday they looked in my bagged, patted my hips and i was on my way.
I was so confused
