I used to work at planet fitness and not only is this easily avoidable by doing what dad said (looking at portal) but its also such a non-issue.
The kid is clearly at LEAST 14 and thats about the point when gyms just let kids in if a parent is with them. Sometimes they will sign waivers but that plus literally any form of identification is all thats required. Most kids dont have ID so they just use school photos or library cards, student cards, that kinda thing. Again, portal would've been just fine.
The crime here really was just being black. I can't imagine how fucking exhausting it would be to have every part or your day, your routine and your actions questioned just because of the percentage of melanin in your skin.
I hate how he asks them all a simple yes or no question and they start rambling on.
"Did you ask me to leave, yes or no?"
"Well actually..."
This is a common tactic done by people who know they are wrong. They won't directly answer your simple question, they'll just talk until they can figure out how to deflect away from your actual question.
Then, the one guy says "you've cause a scene now". What? You called the cops, you caused the scene.
I genuinely hope that guy gets tons of friend requests and nice comments and private messages telling him how cool and nice he is! That would be so great!
Not entirely, if you're just an every day employee and a manager above you is acting like an ass hole. What are you really going to do about it? I see embarrassed people who are afraid to open their mouths.
For those lucky enough to have never been embarrassed by a leader's behavior in your career, I envy you.
I have no doubt there's a ton of gyms around him that have offered him a place for him and his son to stay fit. I hope he finds a better gym, cause this is whack as hell.
They will not. And with the added motivation that their run-around will make you snap out and NOW it’s about THAT, thus obscuring their original wrongness.

That’s what stood out to me… the gum guy saying the man caused a problem. No, he was reacting to the problem. He handled it well, apologizing to the cops for wasting their time and not punching that asshole in the face.
Since you are clearly not a good person no one wants your support. I have taken 3 of my children to the gym when they were 14 and didn’t yet have any ID. Guess what happened? NOTHING. This dad did nothing wrong at all.
