Heated Exchange with 24hr Fitness front desk guy WTF

[surfinillini]

So I goto 24 hour fitness early this morning b/c I can't sleep all night. I get there at maybe 4am the place is completely empty. Maybe one or two geriatrics walking on the treadmill but its dead.

So I arrive and open my gym-bag at the counter and say "Oh [censored], forgot my pass, here is my ID can you look me up?"

Gym guy (late 20s/early 30s dude with mullet/not happy with life direction etc...) says: "What the hell, why can't people just remember to bring their IDs, you know how much time this takes from me?"

(I assume his wiping down the desk and reading magazine time)

Me says "Yea I know, life is hard."

Gym guy "One time only man..." (and hands me back my drivers license after approx 11 seconds of typing/clicking)

Me: "Tough job I see..." (walks away)



So...am I in the twilight zone or does this guy really reserve the right to be a dick, or did I just catch this guy on a bad hair day. WTF? I swear to christ my patience in humanity is decreasing at an exponential level daily.
