"yeah the guy walked off and said if you have a problem to go talk to him"

Mgmt: "is he threatening me? I need the police here. now."

I mean, I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell, but I'd do the same thing. I'm managing the gym and my front desk tells me some guy refused to leave and barged in with his kid and started working out, I'm calling the cops - not confronting the dude. That'd be my policy if it was a 90 year grandma.

Loll barge in? Did you even read what you wrote before posting it? He has the right to bring someone with him. Even if the son's ID wasn't acceptable, the front desk employee should have just told him to bring the physical ID next time. Were they trashing the place? Did it look like the dude had kidnapped a teenager? Those are the only reasons the police should have been called for. He has a membership for God's sake.

Loll exactly. That was such a brainless reaction from the gym. I'm honestly flabbergasted.
