"Eh, where your ID at?"
To Whom It May Concern:
I have been a loyal member of 24 Hour Fitness in Pearl Kai for years now and I've never really had a problem with the place. Over time, as more and more people joined up and quality began to lag here and there, I stayed true to my membership. Sure, the mandatory towel rule was rarely enforced, and sure, the lines at the cardio machines were verging on ridiculous, and sure, finding free weights had become akin to a minor scavenger hunt, but I kind of let that all slide. I was happy enough. Things weren't perfect, but it's such a pain to change gyms, and I wasn't going to leave Pearl Kai 24 Hour Fitness unless I felt like I really had to. And this week happened.
For a while now, I’ve been going with my parents to the gym and getting in fine. I’ve had my ID every time and they would always let me in. Maybe I would forget it a couple of times but the worker would still let me in. But this time was ridiculous. The same drill went down, we moseyed in and they scanned my parents’ card, so they proceeded to the gym floor. But when the worker got to me, she asked me for my ID, and lucky me, I forgot it at home. She started to give me the whole “No ID” policy. As I started to get frustrated, I just left the gym.
Not only was I frustrated. But I was also surprised at the ridiculous attitude she gave me and my parents prior to scanning the card. We could tell that she did not want to work. Her face was filled with unhappiness and didn’t want to argue with me about my ID issue. Thus lead to not letting me in. I know it’s a rule where you need an ID but how come she never asked my parents? Plus, the way she presented herself to me. I now go to the gym in Millilani, and whenever I forget my ID, they just ask me to verify my birthday or my address…easy right? And the workers there are so much nicer and are much livelier.
I hope this letter addresses other people’s problems too. I am sure that I am not the only victim of frustrated workers. Although I have already switched to the Millilani gym, I’d hate to never go back to Pearl Kai. I’m sure there should be some kind of way to ensure that it is me without needing my ID.
Sincerely,
Andrew Tran
