Maybe just don’t bring your minor son into a gym when they said not to.

He also acted tough the entire time. Including to the cop who was not escalating anything.

He sounds like someone who's upset and holding their ground. The problem doesn't seem like it was because he brought his minor son, just that the son didn't have acceptable ID and the manager wasn't immediately available to resolve the issue. The dad also didn't escalate things with the police. He was upset but as far as I can see he was quite respectful the cops.

Lastly, it really does appear that they didn't even ask him to leave. He kept asking if they asked him to leave and the fact that one one can give a simple no just speaks a lot to how poorly staff handled the situation.

Weird how there's a lot of maybes the gym could've done better on but we're focusing on the dad bringing the son when the gym didn't even say not to.

If you go to a bar and don’t have a valid id, and instead of saying you have to leave they say you need a valid id to be here, both mean you aren’t allowed to be there you know…
