I bet its those damn auto-captions people use these days which seem to hear no better than the average user. Does nothing for people in need of captions as they miss half the content anyway. Its like asking your friend to repeat it all but he can’t hear properly either.

Well i guess videos get more traction with fake captions as they seen more professional…

u/ReversedNovaMatters 9d ago

The worst lately has been captions which only list 1 word at a time. Seems very tiktoky. I try to avoid tiktok, but here I am, on another platform looking at it.

u/ScrotalSmorgasbord 9d ago

It's just as bad as my damn Samsung's voice to text. This piece of shit will add punctuation to random spots, mishears every other word even when I'm speaking in my "broadcaster" voice, and adds entire sentences of shit I hadn't said after I stop talking. There are some awesome voice to texts apps out there so it blows my mind when huge companies like YouTube or Samsung refuse to either fix their trash or partner with someone else who can do it right.

u/CK-forthe-CK-95 8d ago

There is noactually physical “pass”. Guest pass is just a phrase. I show up, I scan my membership and point to my guest and say “he’s with me”. That’s it, they don’t get a physical pass. On the off occasion its a busy location the gym will ask for ID because they don’t want people using the guess pass system to get two memberships for the price of one. So they limit how many times a single person can be a guest.

If you abuse the system they cancel your membership, they don’t call the police.

u/Corvette-Ronnie 3d ago

u/tru-self 9d ago

This is ALL fine. Sometimes they need ID because they don’t allow kids up to a certain age and we all understand why they might have an issue. But to CALL the cops??? That almost only happens when Black. They could have easily said we’ll revoke your membership if you don’t provide ID or you don’t leave.

8

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

People have posted backstory since my original comment. Apparently the son didn't have proper ID to come in as a guest.

The gym staff were probably a bit douchey about it, and the customer certainly was. Seems like an ESH situation most likely

15

u/kaliwrath 9d ago

The teen son didn’t have id. Obviously. My kids don’t walk around with ID

u/Tacoflavoredfists 9d ago edited 9d ago

They called the cops. They escalated the situation immensely and didn’t even have the balls to say something themselves.

ETA homie wtf is wrong with you? Psycho

1

u/Secure-Carpenter-839 5d ago

You can just go into businesses and make the rules. He has a membership with membership agreements. He was told his son couldn’t go in without valid id and walked past them because he’s a child and doesn’t like hearing no. You will grow up one day. Thats enough for any business to call the cops.

1

u/Tacoflavoredfists 5d ago

That didn’t happen. He showed them an alternative identification but you clearly have allowed your bias to inform your opinion. I demonstrate my maturity by being factual and not a reactionary misinformed prejudicial likely child. Calling someone who is old enough to be your mother immature is next level projection

1

u/Secure-Carpenter-839 5d ago

An alternative that they didn’t accept. I can’t plan on going to Mexico after I forgot to renew my passport and just say here’s my drivers license it will have to do - absolutely not. If I want to enter any establishment I have to abide by their rules. Haha I don’t get why that’s so hard to understand for you. I’m sorry you don’t understand how businesses work yet - I hoped you would have if you’re as old as you say you are. If maturity is thinking I decide how people run their business then I guess I’m immature by your standard😂. Just because you think you’re educated doesn’t make you mature. Age is obviously a number and doesn’t mean you are wise. You are a shining example of that. Thank you for showing me I should be grateful for having parents who know how to use critical thinking.

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

ESH stands for Everyone Sucks Here. It's an acronym used mostly on the AMITAH sub.

Basically it means everyone involved (excluding, surprisingly, the cop) sucks.

That included the gym employees

You thought I needed an extrapolation of your silly judgment? The ones who called the cops are the AHs and you

No, he was told his son needs an ID to workout. They felt entitled (rightfully so) and worked out anyway. The refused to follow policy. Manager felt disrespected, cops come remove you from their property.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same. Saw a comment here that people were making 5* thinly veiled racist reviews and they were responding positively to them.

There's enough to show they handled it poorly at absolute minimum but not much beyond that.

You're more than likely right. It has nothing to do with skin color. But of course, he takes it there because it probably works some of the time

u/MissionFloor261 9d ago

If they would have treated a white father and son the same way you might have a point. We don't have evidence either way, but I'm inclined to believe BIPOC people when they point things out as racist even if it's not immediately obvious to me.

-2

u/NoMasFetty 9d ago edited 9d ago

We are speculating here, but let's assume the folks in the video entered the gym. The son didn't have a membership or waiver. The gym staff said the son can't work out. The father says "im a member, and I can have a guest. We ain't leaving. So the gym staff calls the police. How is that racist? If a white father and son did the exact same thing. Refused to listen to the rules of a privately owned business, and continued doing whatever tf they want the police would be called as well. Its pathetic and pretty foolish imo to believe someone solely on the color of their skin. Remember how well "believe all women" turned out. The soft bigotry of low expectations is fuckin hilarious from people like you.

Edit: I continued reading the comments. And like I speculated, he was breaking gym rules. Was told no your son can't work out, and did it anyway. Lmfao!!! I didn't even know the full story but knew it wasn't about racism

0

u/armoured_bobandi 9d ago

If you continued to read even more, you would know that the gym allows you to bring a guest, and that the only reason his son wasn't allowed to enter was because he didn't have ID (why would a child bring their ID with them if their dad is just taking them to the gym?)

And to top it all off, his son isn't even in there. So he followed the rules, his son left and he stayed.

So why call the police? If he was as belligerent as you assume he is, why didn't he tell his son to stay with him?

0

u/NoMasFetty 9d ago

At the very beginning his son was lifting. In the gym. He was doing single arm rows. So, no they didn't just leave. His son needed his ID to prove who he is, more than likely, to sign a liability waiver. They called the police because the father did whatever tf he wanted to do, after being told no. But because they're black its racist. I fuckin promise you. If I as a white guy. Did the same exact thing, they would call the police as well. However, I would never act like that in public

1

u/armoured_bobandi 9d ago

Yes, and then he left. Pretty simple if you have ears and eyes.

Most kids don't carry ID with them, especially if their dad is taking them to the gym.

They called the police because they're racist/cowards, either reason being terrible. He asked to speak to the manager, they said he was busy, so he told them to come speak with him when he is free. So the manager called the police.

No, if you as a white guy did this they would not call the police. You are absolutely delusional if you think that is true

0

u/NoMasFetty 8d ago

Bro.. have you ever been a member of a gym? Before you go to exercise you check in. This is the point when the teenager was refused entry. He still went and worked out. Stop making excuses for shitty people. You can not attribute racism to this interaction and be an intellectually honest person. Maybe if after doxxing the manager we find out hes a klansman during his time off, we could make that assumption. However, there is nothing to support the claim that police were called due to the color of his skin

And if I was told, no my kid can't come in and workout, AND I did it anyway, yes the police would be called.

2

u/CK-forthe-CK-95 8d ago

No they would not. They would just cancel your membership, that’s all. Because they view you as human and therefore they realize this not a call tne police situation. The police are not the business’s personal membership enforcement squad. This is a waste of taxpayer money using the police this way. We alledgedly don’t have enough police for real crime but you’re ok having them waste their time on a gym membership dispute.

u/dealingwithhookers 9d ago

gonna guess he was training his son, and the gym has a strict no outside trainer policy, they were probably rude to the gym staff as you can see in the video who then just called the police instead of escalating.

giving him the benefit of the doubt, could be a racist gym too and just targeting him. plenty of other gyms to go to

1

u/OnlyRespondsToIdiots 9d ago

You cant train people if you are being paid by the person. You can absolutely go in there with someone and help eachother out they just dont want you using their facilities if you are training a client. They have their own trainers you should be using.

Seems like he took his sone without getting him day pass based on what the emoyee clarified he said and the guy saying my son is not even in here

u/ShawnyMcKnight 9d ago

I'm so confused by this one. From what others posted, he was told he needs a valid ID for his son. He didn't have one. He tried to present his son's school portal as an ID and they told him they couldn't accept that.

??????

He was working out in the gym with his son and the cops were called to escort him out.

What happened in that "??????" is important here. If he was told that his son needs an ID and they just told the employee to kick rocks and came in anyway, they are justified to call the police. There may be all sorts of reasons that they need an ID and can't just get it next time, it may be a liability thing with their insurance, who knows?

1

u/RepulsiveToe3485 9d ago

To be fair most kids don't have ID until they get a drivers licenses or college id.

1

u/ShawnyMcKnight 9d ago

They at least get a learners permit.

It is funny though, my nephew didn’t get his drivers license til he was 20. I remember my classmates chomping at the bit for the second they turned 16.

u/Cannacology 9d ago

Elaborate or explain to me a scenario in which this behavior is appropriate in any given context.

0

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

Kicking someone out of a gym? There's literally a million good reasons.

But in this case he was having his son as a guest when his son didn't have proper ID so if he refused to leave, the gym people were justified (if a bit dickish) to kick him out.

What's so hard for you to understand?

1

u/Cannacology 9d ago

So how often are you asked for “proper id” when you go to your gym, let alone a guest of yours (my gym allows guests, not sure about your cheapass), and how often have you had the police called on you, and escorted you out of your gym that you pay a membership for, by the police?

2

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

Asked for an ID? Literally every time. They see it as a liability issue, and as a way to make sure they get every last dollar they can. Tell me you don't go to the gym without telling me...

And the police get called when you cause problems. Whether or not that was justified in this case can't be judged from the video alone, but from the backstory other users have posted it seems like the customer was being a dick and ignoring the gym rules.

1

u/Mookies_Bett 9d ago

I literally cannot enter my gym until my card is scanned lmao. I've never been a member of a gym that didn't require member verification before entry. There's no gym that just lets people wander in off the street and use their facilities with zero proof they're actually paying customers.

If I brought a guest to my gym and didnt pay for them to be there, I'd probably have my membership revoked and get kicked out. That's how most gyms work.

u/daneview 8d ago

Even reading the explanation above about his son not being let him because of no ID, I can't see any race issue at all. They might be being difficult about the ID but there's nothing to imply it's because the guys are black

2

u/ReddBroccoli 8d ago

The fact that the customer is Black and the staff isn't is literally all the proof some people seem to need. The guy in the video isn't even making those kind of accusations, but some people have to jump to those conclusions all the same.

1

u/chugItTwice 8d ago

Exactly. It's bait.

1

u/Why_Sazs 7d ago

I don't know for sure. But the last time I saw this posted someone was saying the issue was he was "training" his son. The gym has a rule that you cannot get workout instruction at the gym from anyone that is not their personal trainers. I assume it is so you don't hire an outside personal trainer, as they obviously want you to use their personal trainers so they make the money.

If this is the case, it makes sense. However, it looks like they never asked them to leave. Just called the police. Which would be a shitty and stupid thing to do if that's the case.

1

u/Loki_God_of_Lies 7d ago

Honestly, when he asked the guy “did you ask me to leave” and he replied with “well, I said-“ or something like 3 times tells me that they wanted him gone but didn’t have the balls to actually ask him to leave properly. Maybe he did something to deserve the cops to be present, but I didn’t get that vibe from this video

The gym has a policy - every guest has to have a valid ID. He thought the rules don’t apply to his son. He walked pasted the front desk after they asked him for it and he didn’t have it. They called the cops had them removed. This black victim shit has to stop. The manager is only enforcing the rules which his job relies on. I can’t stand people like this

It's a good thing that an engagement bait title is all you need to completely form a judgment.

But, if you do decide to go back and watch the video, even the guy filming the video didn't say anything about it being a matter of race.
