It was clearly our turn as there were lots of
people behind us. I was wondering how
long we would have to wait and why he kept ignoring us, as new people started
to show up and if they came from his own country they were allowed in right
away with a big smile on his face. He
purposely kept on ignoring us and I wondered why because we were sober and had not
done anything bad nor disturbed anyone and in addition, all of us look like
very decent and nice people.
My
girlfriend (from Asia) finally asked how long time it would take before we can
get in? He replied in a few minutes. We
kept waiting in hope to get in. After 15
minutes passed or so, I asked again, when can we get in? He turned to my friend (from Sweden as well),
and asked are you drunk in a rude voice.
My friend who was totally sober said no.
Then he turned to me and asked, open up my jacket, also in a very rude
tone. I opened up my jacked for him and
he said, you cannot get in because your shirt is not qualified for this club
and he turned around right away to pay attention to other people (and avoid me). I thought that he was joking, but it was for
real. My shirt is 3 weeks old and very
nice, which definitely qualifies for any club by the way.
So there we were, standing with my Swedish friend and his
girlfriend who is also from Asia in the cold having waited for 45 minutes in
vain, wondering what in the world is this?
I am from Sweden and have lived abroad for over 15 years and been
attending many clubs in all over the U.S, Europe and Asia and never once have I
experienced such bad treatment, discrimination (racism?) and service. I felt like a cheap crap not being amounted
to anything, probably like a black person in the U.S 100 years ago.
Is this the way to treat guests at a
nightclub in Stockholm or are they trying to increase racism in society or what
is going on? I have many questions as of
why? I can feel lots of tensions in the
environment standing there outside the club and for all tourists and residents
in Stockholm, I want to say, dont support, Grodan Sergel Nightclub in Stockholm
at Svea vagen.
Their behaviors are
unacceptable and discriminating. Please
tell your friends if they plan to go out in Stockholm as I am sure there are
lots of other much better places than this and warn them about these issues if
they ever plan to go there. If you want
to have fun and a great experience dont waste your time on this one. The club
is a scam and filled with shady people. They
definitely ruined our whole night. Why? Now when I hear and read other people's stories about being ripped off with their credit card in the club, I can understand why this happens because they don't care.
