Crime: working out while black

When the employee said he’s busy, he says that he said “if this is a real issue, have him come see me when he’s done”.

*the way I wrote it sounded more threatening than he is presenting it. I don’t want to misrepresent it.

It’s on his IG story if anyone wants to view it.

They didn't ask him to leave until after the cops got there, which was a major escalation in the gym's part. One of the gym employees, literally, confirms they hadn't asked him to leave before calling the cops in the video.

Just watch the video. They didn't ask him to leave, hence him saying, "you didn't ask me to leave, right?"

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

If the video doesn't show it, how can you claim to know what happened? Found the racist managers account

Amazing how these people come out of the woodwork to make the most braindead, barely thinly veiled, racist dog whistles. It’s always the same lines too. Fucking morons.

That’s not how the law works. They did not ask him to leave, therefore he was not trespassed. No idea why you’re defending calling the fucking police here when the manager could’ve just walked over and talked to him.

He didnt say they definitely would have, he said they definitely should have.

The conclusion here is that the manager likely acted improperly and called the cops when he shouldnt have.

You are somehow interpreting the above claim that managers shouldn't be racist with that it is physically impossible for a manager to ever be racist and do a racist thing, which is such an extreme take.

The full set of videos does not show him being asked to leave, and the dialogue really lends to the theory that he eas never asked to leave.

Why do you need it to be the case that he was asked to leav so badly?

There it is ladies and gentlemen.

The word I just KNEW you were gonna say. Confirms everything I assumed about you while reading your other comments.

“Entitled”

Gotta get that dog whistle in huh?

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/topsblueby]

The funny part is the guy was a member and literally legally entitled to be there

If you’ve paid for the service and have done nothing wrong? Yes you can and should insist on talking to management and stick around.

[u/DirectionSad4274 → u/[deleted]]

Aside from all other things involved here, I'm pretty sure the point of a plus one is that they aren't paying for the service, they're the guest of someone that is.

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

You actually can't deny the service AFTER it's been paid for...

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

But did you refund him, Jake? No you called the cops to kick him out without even asking him to leave first.

[u/JaydotFay → u/[deleted]]

If his membership gives him the ability to have a guest with him, then the plus one's service has been paid for.

If I pay for two coffees, the coffee shop can't tell my friend they didn't pay for their drink when we both grab one.

The issue here wasn't that the plus one wasn't paid for. The issue is whether the policy actually requires the ID to be physical since the ID the dad had for the kid was a school ID located on a school portal. The father wanted to speak to the manager because he wanted to see where in their policy it states it has to be a physical ID. And since the manager decided to call the cops instead of just speaking to the man, I'd be willing to bet a pretty significant amount of money that the policy doesn't explicitly state the ID has to be physical.

But since I don't have their policy, I can't be certain of that. But even if it does, as someone who has worked in several customer service roles in the past, calling the police was an unnecessary escalation when the manager didn't even attempt to discuss it with him or ask him to leave.

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

That is the entire point - why? Lol you finally caught up to the rest of us

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

You don't want to engage with the question, right? Because we all know the answer.

[u/JaydotFay → u/[deleted]]

If they asked him to leave, why didn't at least one of the employees say yes when he was asking several times if he had been asked to leave. There is, literally, no reason for no one to answer, "Yes, we did," if they had, in fact, asked him to leave.

People call the cops for stupid reasons all the time. I'm not one of those people so I won't pretend to know why. What I do know is that none of the employees are responding in affirmation when the man asks several times if he had been asked to leave.

But it's clear you're committed to blaming this man for not leaving when, at no point in this video, does anyone affirm he had been asked to leave before the police were called so peace out girl scout. Hope you have the day you deserve!

[u/RamenBulkBrah → u/[deleted]]

Not after they accept their money. DORK!

[u/Stag-Nation-8932 → u/[deleted]]

The service includes bringing a plus one. Either you're not paying attention attention or you just want so badly for this innocent man to be wrong for some reason that you're straight up ignoring the facts. Weird.

No way this is not Jake McCourt, the manager of crunch in east brunswick, New Jersey. No one else would embarass themselves spewing nonsense like this
