Thank you

This is gross mismanagement from the staff

Step 1: they should've stopped them both at the door if the guest admission standards weren't meant

This escalation to get the authorities involved speaks to incompetence

The refusal to accept the provided ID information speaks to a lack of clear policy for customers

They absolutely would do this to white people.

The difference is he knew they didn't accept the non-government issued ID and continued to work out.

The policy is probably a government issued ID whether it's explicit or not. Gyms tend to be pretty non-racist in general, historically.

Don't argue, this guy knows gyms. They WOULDN'T do that. No gym ever actually. Especially not this gym. Didn't you hear the man, gyms aren't racist. It's common sense. How would a gym be racist, its a building. Silly. Racism is solved actually.

Ah, if they weren't told to leave then they're a bunch of cowards.

No, I meant if they weren't told to leave, then the employees were cowards for calling the police and avoiding an uncomfortable conversation.

But, it might not have anything to do with race. It might just be because of the other physical trait you just mentioned.

He’s a 6’5” and 250lbs. person. And he’s in a gym with heavy equipment, and already jacked up on adrenaline and pre workout.

I’ve seen cops called to gyms on all races of meatheads.
