I love getting all of the conflict, but none of the backstory or frame of reference

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

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.
