The days of checking someone out at a club are over.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

An Australia nightclub said it will remove people who are caught staring at someone without that person\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n

Club 77 in Sydney included unwanted attention from strangers in its updated \u201czero-tolerance policy\u201d on harassment.<\/p>

The venue posted the woke update on its\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0account, saying the club is \u201cnot a place to come to if your sole purpose is to \u2018pick up.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cAs a nightclub, we encourage you to interact with strangers, however any engagement MUST begin with verbal consent,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThis also applies if you are, for example, staring at someone from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club has hired designated \u201csafety officers\u201d \u2014 who will be wearing a pink hi-visibility vest \u2014 to handle complaints and concerns.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIf we receive reports of any behavior that has made someone feel uncomfortable, the reported individual will be removed from the venue and the police will be called,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
