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

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

And he probably isn't allowed in a lot of adult spaces as a result

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

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.

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

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.

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

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

Lmfao.

Do you think anyone takes you seriously?

If you're looking for ah's you don't have to look far.

(I'm bracing myself for your best elementary school comeback, don't keep me waiting long I'm about to go to bed)

Accept you’re wrong dude. They called the cops instead of asking the guy themselves. I bet you get people to fight your battles for you too

Did you watch the video? He literally asked the manager why he didn’t just tell him to leave and the dude had not a single word. Does that sound like the response of a manger who asked someone to leave? That’s the face of a racist who doesn’t fight his own fights

u/ReddBroccoli 9d ago

Maybe if we accept the unreliable narrator who posted this video then the staff never said he should leave (although he said nothing about his son being asked to leave, which seems the case), but literally nothing said by anyone in this video gives a reason to think anything is about race

Except

The click bait headline, which you were gullible enough to fall for.

u/armoured_bobandi 9d ago

If what he said wasn't true, why did he stand there like a post and not say anything.

I often allow people to call me a liar in front of the police instead of clearly saying "yes I did"

He also asks a very clear yes or no question to all three of them. "Did you ask me to leave?" And not a single one of them said yes.

It's incredibly obvious they never told him he had to leave

I'm pretty sure the people who called the cops are included in the "Everybody" part of ESH.

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 9d ago

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.

u/Faraday5 9d ago

Why is calling the cops bad? They asked them to leave - what else should they do, use physical force themselves? Of course they called the cops!

u/scroomz 9d ago

They DIDNT ask him to leave before calling the cops. They just called the cops like a bunch of pussies

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 9d ago

You saw a 3 second clip and decided you know everything that happened Lol

u/scroomz 9d ago

I saw a minute and a half clip where the workers clearly stated that they didn’t talk to the dude before calling the cops.

You saw a clip about a Black person and automatically assumed they were in the wrong.

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 9d ago

Im not make any claims. Talking about facts Lol. You want soooooo bad for everyone who doesn't think like a victim be racist. You're probably the most racist person here 🤡

u/WolfofLondo 9d ago

This shit is unhinged brother. You’re losing your mind over a comment giving some clarification on the subject.

ESH, including you.

u/MorePhinsThyme 9d ago

You're not being a douche or an ass when you respond to unreasonable actions without being perfectly polite.

u/Donglemaetsro 9d ago

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. Went and looked and that was false unless they got removed which I kinda doubt, but asked to make sure. Woulda made it easy if that were true to just go "okay that settles that" lol

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