Pipeworks Glasgow - NO BAGS policy

Just thought I’d make everyone aware that Pipeworks have amended their recent bag search policy to now being a NO BAGS ALLOWED policy! They must now be handed in at reception and are tagged and kept behind the bar. Bit inconvenient especially if, like me, you take in things like flip flops, your own clean towel for afterwards and toiletries. It doesn’t appear to be size-related either - it’s bags of ANY description, even plastic carrier bags.

Apparently they have discovered drug paraphernalia on the premises recently, hence the strict crackdown. Yet again, those abiding by the rules being affected by selfish idiots.

That doesn't sound like fun.

I usually had a bag with me too, if from work or going elsewhere after.

I see folk can't have nice things again lol

Typical selfish drug users, spoiling it for everyone else

I feel sorry for the pipeworks staff who will get stick from some people despite them only doing as instructed so the place can stay open

Unfortunately you'll always get those who think that law's don't apply to them and spoil it for others.

It's a sauna you're expected to wear a towel

If it stops the druggies I'm all for it. Yes, its inconvenient for those of us who carry things like a towel or flip flops but better than have drugs in the premises

Yea, have to admit I was a bit shirty with the guy on reception on Wednesday when he told me as I had rucksack with me (nothing rude, just expressed my annoyance at the inconvenience and hopefully gets fed back to the management). Thing is, am I being stupid or would you not just hide drugs in your pockets or in your shoes/socks anyway if you really were determined to take them in? It’s not like they do body searches

Yea that occurred to me as sometimes see guys in different kinds of gear, e.g leather, harnesses etc, that they wouldn’t want to be wearing to go there

It's actually a Gay/Bi Health & Leisure Club - which has sauna. steam room, etc..

You can wear as you wish, as advised by management frequently

Only way for them to totally flush out drugs as you say is to do full searches, so sadly almost impossible to do x

They took my bag of me and tagged it with my key number, and I left it with them, saved me squishing it in my locker.

Potential to still go in with your rubber gear in a plastic bag then just hand bag over and switch into rubber gear in cubicle? Be a shame if it put you off fully from going x

I volunteer to be searched thoroughly. Especially if it’s that hot muscled twink guy that’s on sometimes.

Nothing to stop anyone doing that, just can’t take your bag in past reception- need to take items out the bag and carry in

Nothing to worry about,guys. I was there on Friday and asked about this. Only people with something to hide should be concerned. They have taken very sensible advice and I have absolute confidence in the measures that they have taken. Btw, the new staff member is cute lol

I'm planning to go to the Leeds one when it opens. I usually take a rucksack and never use drugs. So it's not great.

Really naive about drugs here. Never done anything. Once a guy at a sauna asked me if I had any . I almost answered that I had a can of red bull in my locker, but I realised at the last second.

He may be cute but can he do the job? Last time I was in all I got was "I don't know how to do that"

On the subject of d@%gs, If someone can stuff a fist as far as their elbow up someone’s arse. I’m sure someone can stuff plenty of the above in a bid to foil the new fresh faced staff member , or any other for that matter. ( apart from a hypodermic needle )

Incidentally I also met the new staff member , yeah, he maybe doesn’t know what to do regards certain things , I got that from him too , but I found him friendly , approachable and genuine. Which was nice , for a change

I’ve just been to reception and there was zero tolerance for a bag or its content. When I said I’ll take a couple of things out of my bag and stick them in a pocket I was told “well that defeats the point of a no bag policy”. I bring a small moisturiser and deodorant for when I finish but was told that wouldn’t be allowed if they weren’t sealed. Same with a drink.

He made no effort to explain the reasoning or if there’s any security process to make sure your stuff is safe. Tagging it and putting it behind the desk means nothing. 20 years they’ve operated without this nonsense.

It’s so disappointing but it really put me off so I left without going in. Been going there for nearly 15 years. He couldn’t explain the point of the bag policy to me but apparently my moisturiser being taken from my bag into my pocket defeated the point of it. I’ve got absolutely zero problem with my bag being searched and they could inspect it all if they wanted, I’ve nothing to hide. But I want to know my stuff is secure while I’m in there.

Good for you - I mean they're not searching you or your clothes so it's a daft policy anyway if they're trying to stop people bringing in pills

I totally understand if they have had issues with drugs (as someone mentioned earlier) but if they wanted drugs in they don't need bag.....just fill pockets as no search being done. With regards your cream, you could have originally had it in your pockets and got in so not sure how you being honest and taking it out bag to go in pocket differs. Surely they need to have a think about a better policy is this doesn't seem fully thought through. For the record, I'm not against them searching me, just don't think current rule does anything to eradicate the potential issue.

I completely agree. I have no issue with security and am happy for them to search my bags and to be honest I’d let them search my pockets. This achieves f*** all. All they’re doing is turning away custom.

Oh wow I went on Wednesday and when he told me I needed to hand my bag in, I took stuff out of it to take in with me (towel & flip flops) and he didn’t stop me or say anything lol. If they’re going to be SO strict then yea I think I’ll be visiting much less - I could just about cope with not having a clean towel at the end and using my toiletries after I leave, but no way I’m walking on those floors without flip-flops lol
