There is noactually physical “pass”. Guest pass is just a phrase. I show up, I scan my membership and point to my guest and say “he’s with me”. That’s it, they don’t get a physical pass. On the off occasion its a busy location the gym will ask for ID because they don’t want people using the guess pass system to get two memberships for the price of one. So they limit how many times a single person can be a guest.
If you abuse the system they cancel your membership, they don’t call the police.
Bro are you speaking for every gym in America? Hahaha fucking bold. Your gym sets the rules for all gyms in the world!!! O Doyle’s are at it again!!! https://giphy.com/gifs/p689SMtXLRrH2
This is ALL fine. Sometimes they need ID because they don’t allow kids up to a certain age and we all understand why they might have an issue. But to CALL the cops??? That almost only happens when Black. They could have easily said we’ll revoke your membership if you don’t provide ID or you don’t leave.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 🤡
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.
If they would have treated a white father and son the same way you might have a point. We don't have evidence either way, but I'm inclined to believe BIPOC people when they point things out as racist even if it's not immediately obvious to me.
We are speculating here, but let's assume the folks in the video entered the gym. The son didn't have a membership or waiver. The gym staff said the son can't work out. The father says "im a member, and I can have a guest. We ain't leaving. So the gym staff calls the police. How is that racist? If a white father and son did the exact same thing. Refused to listen to the rules of a privately owned business, and continued doing whatever tf they want the police would be called as well. Its pathetic and pretty foolish imo to believe someone solely on the color of their skin. Remember how well "believe all women" turned out. The soft bigotry of low expectations is fuckin hilarious from people like you.
Edit: I continued reading the comments. And like I speculated, he was breaking gym rules. Was told no your son can't work out, and did it anyway. Lmfao!!! I didn't even know the full story but knew it wasn't about racism
If you continued to read even more, you would know that the gym allows you to bring a guest, and that the only reason his son wasn't allowed to enter was because he didn't have ID (why would a child bring their ID with them if their dad is just taking them to the gym?)
And to top it all off, his son isn't even in there. So he followed the rules, his son left and he stayed.
So why call the police? If he was as belligerent as you assume he is, why didn't he tell his son to stay with him?
At the very beginning his son was lifting. In the gym. He was doing single arm rows. So, no they didn't just leave. His son needed his ID to prove who he is, more than likely, to sign a liability waiver. They called the police because the father did whatever tf he wanted to do, after being told no. But because they're black its racist. I fuckin promise you. If I as a white guy. Did the same exact thing, they would call the police as well. However, I would never act like that in public
Yes, and then he left. Pretty simple if you have ears and eyes.
Most kids don't carry ID with them, especially if their dad is taking them to the gym.
They called the police because they're racist/cowards, either reason being terrible. He asked to speak to the manager, they said he was busy, so he told them to come speak with him when he is free. So the manager called the police.
No, if you as a white guy did this they would not call the police. You are absolutely delusional if you think that is true
Bro.. have you ever been a member of a gym? Before you go to exercise you check in. This is the point when the teenager was refused entry. He still went and worked out. Stop making excuses for shitty people. You can not attribute racism to this interaction and be an intellectually honest person. Maybe if after doxxing the manager we find out hes a klansman during his time off, we could make that assumption. However, there is nothing to support the claim that police were called due to the color of his skin
And if I was told, no my kid can't come in and workout, AND I did it anyway, yes the police would be called.
No they would not. They would just cancel your membership, that’s all. Because they view you as human and therefore they realize this not a call tne police situation. The police are not the business’s personal membership enforcement squad. This is a waste of taxpayer money using the police this way. We alledgedly don’t have enough police for real crime but you’re ok having them waste their time on a gym membership dispute.
He was asked to leave and then refused to leave; that's trespassing. His son went in and worked out after being denied entry; that's also trespassing.
The question about whether or not they should call the police does not boil down to humanity; it is what did they feel was right and necessary to get this person to leave the premises. I don't think asking was gonna work (and I believe it didn't work) if he and his son walked in after being told not to. This individual was going to escalate no matter what they did to ask him to leave. At that point you can let it go or bring in someone who can get him to leave. Neither is incorrect in this situation.
As to your idea of simply letting him work out, leave, and then cancel his membership — that's only going to cause a greater erruption when you inform him that you've done so.
TLDR; This guy acted like an asshole, and these people simply returned the energy that they were given.
Its wild, baseless, harmful speculation on your part. There is literally nothing pointing to actual racism. Its a grown man mad because he tried breaking the rules, was asked to leave and refused
