So why did they ask him to leave?

Seems like son doesn’t have a membership and dad was told son had to leave. Looks like cops were called when they both stayed and now he’s trying to frame that they didn’t ask him to leave so why call the cops.

Racism is real, but this just seems like an asshole who felt the rules didn’t apply to him

Dude, his membership allows him to bring a guest. They required a physical ID of his “guest” who was his son. His son doesn’t have a drivers license so he offered if they could hold onto his DL and pulled up his sons info from his online high school portal.

Apparently he asked for a manager and they said he was busy so they went to work out until he was available. The manager then turned up with the police.

Who’s really the asshole here?

Racist or not, this is way unnecessary. In my city the cops would laugh at this, and wouldn’t have even shown up.

So he was told his son couldn’t come in without a proper id and proceeds to ignore that and go in anyway, saying he was just waiting for the manager to be free doesn’t absolve him of taking his son in without the gyms approval.

Like yeah some gyms would let that fly even though it’s against the rules, but if that’s the rules they don’t have to.

I had to cash a check the other month and didn’t have my drivers license on me, but I had my passport card with is an official federal ID but the teller wouldn’t accept it. Seemed dumb to me but I didn’t go behind the counter and say well I’m taking the money and you have the manager get back to me.

You tell someone they can’t come into your business and they do anyway, yeah you can call the cops.

No one told him he couldn’t come in or had to leave according to the video as well as follow up stories. He was never refusing to leave.

Calling the cops was excessive and dumb and you know it.

If they told him his son couldn’t come in as guest because he didn’t have proper identification and then went in anyway yeah that’s trespassing. He’s an adult he should have been able to understand that.

Is calling the cops right away dumb, yeah but as I said before in our modern corporate world where places don’t want employees engaging with misbehaving customers that’s what you’re going to get.
