Last night myself and four of my friends (3 girls, 2 guys) spent the night waiting in line to go into Tonic. When we got in the line there were only about 6 people in front of us and after 30 minutes we were at the front, where we stayed for another 30 minutes. All the while there were people going in ahead of us and one bouncer even asked some girl (who was in neither line!!) if she and her friends wanted to get in VIP. At one point the bouncer asked us, "Are you guys even Canadian?" Which we are, but how I don't see how that is relevant. He then came back awhile later and said the group behind us could go in because "you girls are with guys, we can't let you in right now". Finally, after waiting an hour the bouncer came back and said "I was goina let you guys in now, but I can't because your friend is wearing running shoes". The bouncers obviously had no intention of letting us in and were looking for any excuse NOT to. (I understand that he wouldn't have been able to wear running shoes but the bouncer could have told us before and and none of us expected such a high-class club in the Pepsi Forum). Needless to say, it was a complete waste of a Saturday night and if you aren't tall, hot, and blonde, it's as if you don't exist at all. Clearly my friends and I will never go back there; the way we were treated was disgusting and no one should have to wait in line, in the freezing cold, all along being told that "it won't be that much longer". The bouncers were nothing more than chauvinistic pigs on a power trip. I recommend choosing a different club the next time your friend suggests, "Let's go to Tonic!" I would have rather stayed at home then stand in that line and give that business my money, but that is just my opinion.
