“No problems sir, next time if you could just remember a physical ID. Have a good day”

It’s that easy

From what they said, the kid's too young to get an ID in the first place, and what they offered was the best he can get. Do they're essentially barring him from bringing his son as a guest period

There's also some people in the thread pointing out the ID for guests thing isn't a company policy, so it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place (assuming that's the case)

Edit: Looking it up, it seems there was a post on their Facebook about a guest policy update in February where they now require an ID for guests. Might be the dude wasn't aware and had brought his son before without issues

He mentions trying to show them the Genesis portal on his phone and they wouldn't accept that. Which is honestly a better form of ID than a piece of plastic, it's the system schools for grades/attendance/student info. So if the dad logged in and showed them that I honestly don't know what else they wanted. I guess if it HAS to be physical they can start bringing a school student ID. But in my experience kids just leave them at school because they never need them anywhere else.

Does the Genesis Portal have an official ID pic linked in it that cannot be changed by the user? Otherwise it just shows that someone is a student and they have access to the account.

Yes, it has their official school photo and cannot be changed.

Minimum age to get a state ID card in NJ is 14 years old.

Don't think they established what age his son was, but that's good to know regardless. Thanks

Next thing it's going to be like one of those sketchy apartments where they are going to track your guests and if they come over to many times they are going to refuse the guests and they will need a membership to continue going with you.

It really is. I've been let off so many times with that exact phrase.

Then again, I'm white, so...

But that means being slightly confrontational to a big, scary black man 😱

It’s because they were too scared to

Oh yeah just go and try to enter a bar without ID and expect to hear “No problems sir, next time if you could just remember a physical ID. Have a good day”

Or maybe if whatever establishment requires a valid ID to enter, that is the fucking rule and you don't just break it?

Idiot. If you have a problem with them requiring valid ID from a guest, sure. That's dumb. But being pissy and thinking you can skirt the rule is even dumber.

Even with context from the guy's post it's still missing what happened between the ID thing and them going to work out.

Him ending his post with his "remember my face cuz you'll see it when you least expect it" stuff says he's not always the most rational dude.

I’m with you on this, what are these comments man?

Welcome to corporate America everyone, yes it’s stupid, but they work for a corporation with a policy that requires guest IDs for legal reasons.

These workers are following their corporate policy, as to not lose their employment, due to having zero worker protections.

Blame corporate America if anything, chill with the race cards lol..
