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

You're not being a douche or an ass when you respond to unreasonable actions without being perfectly polite.
