Gold's Gym Sucks... A LOT

You know those movies where someone gets locked into a mall or a Wal-Mart or something? Well apparently it happens in real life. Because people are idiots.

I was at Gold’s Gym working out completely unaware that it closes at 8 pm on Sundays. I was upstairs when I notice that all the lights downstairs went out. I was a little confused because I though the gym was open 24 hours. So I ignored it at first. Then I looked over the railing and notice that no one else seemed to be in the gym. I had my headphones on so I wouldn’t have heard any announcements. So I walk downstairs and sure enough the front doors are locked! Lucky for me the two morons that worked there were still in the parking lot so they unlocked the door for me looking very put out. Here’s how our convo went:

Me: so I guess you close at 8 on Sundays?
Complete fucking idiot #1: Yeah (duh)
Me: did you make any announcements?
CFI#1: Yeah, like 2. (duh)
Me: don’t’ you think it would have been a good idea to do a walk through as well? A lot of people work out with their headphones on….
CFI #1: …………………..
CFI#2: You’re lucky. We almost took off.
Random guy comes out. He was apparently stuck in the gym as well.
CFI #1: Is there anyone else left in either locker room?
SERIOUSLY? EITHER locker room?
Me: maybe it would be a good idea if you went and CHECKED.

The people that work at Gold’s gym are the stupidest fucking people in the entire world. They are completely incompetent and rude. The only thing they manage to do semi-decently is say hi when you come in. And they’re obviously not sincere about that.

If this had been the first mishap at Gold’s, it might have been funny. But it’s not, it’s like, the 42nd. I hate everyone.

They need a damn “comments” box.
