Seattle may be home for tech giants Amazon and Microsoft, but Google Glass isn't welcome in one local diner.
Nick Starr, a network engineer, found this out the hard way after wearing Glass to Lost Lake Lounge last week. (Via Facebook / Nick Starr)
After being seated, Starr writes, "A woman who works there comes up to us and tells me that the owner's other restaurant doesn't allow Google Glass and that I would have to either put it away (it doesn't fold up btw) or leave." (Via Facebook / Nick Starr)
The two then reportedly had a back-and-forth.
Starr says he's eaten at Lost Lake with his $1,500 headset before and asked to see where the restaurant's anti-Glass policy was posted. He and his specs eventually left. (Via Google)
But both Starr and the restaurant continued their disagreement on Facebook.
Lost Lake Lounge posted its policy Tuesday. "We kindly ask our customers to refrain from wearing and operating Google Glasses [sic] inside Lost Lake. … And if we ask you to leave, for God's sake, don't start yelling about your 'rights.' Just shut up and get out before you make things worse."

“...and root chakra too!”
I usually have to pay good money to have my root chakra raised...
order one of these up.
Guy is an idiot anyways. 3 grand for glasses where the arms don’t even fold?
not sure how else to describe him.
The funny part in all this is that while most on here (and most likely the owner of the place) are all up in arms about the “possibility” of google glass and “secret” recordings, the shop owner probably has security camera’s up recording 24x7. When’s the last time some of you dolt’s stopped and looked around? Camera’s are everywhere and purposely placed to evade your attention; and you are pissed about someone wearing one on their face??? Hypocrites.
Get in line sweetheart.
I truly doubt I would ever have any need or desire to speak to you with or without google glasses but if you attacked me for any reason, I would happily give you a giant sucking chest wound for your trouble.
I love the smell of testosterone in the morning.
:)
yeah i am with you on that. if you want to have personal video recording you can do it a lot more discreetly for a lot less.
and tons of officers are getting video recording for themselves, and their shoulder mics are always on when interacting with people. it’s not like it’s not out there and if people here are going to bitch about stuff like this they better include big brother doing it in their bitching, not just an average guy sitting at a table having lunch.
It’s a pitiful macho that only knows how to destroy.
I feel like I’m in a biker bar on a Saturday night.
It feels like...home.
:D
What an unpleasantly gummy revelation.
Silly Putty works too.
That’s ironic, I learned how to make them in the Army.
Who the hell gets on a thread and says they are gonna assault even a FReeper?
Pissed me off to read that. Felt almost like a verbal assault. My reflexive action was to make a slight, but perceptible motion for a certain possession.... till I immediately remembered it was only a text message.
That Knockout Game has got me kinda spooked. Higher level of DefCon, you know?
I’m in my late middle years... I’m enjoying my testosterone while I still have enough left of it to enjoy...
ya know, if I ever get a harley again (i’m not very well to do right now, earthly speaking) i will also get, and ride with,a leather jacket studded on the back with BRAG ON THE LORD or something similar.
i know that just fighting back at the human who did something bad to you is worldly tough, but i am trying to be God tough. my grudge is ever against Satan.
What’s your problem? Not getting enuff?
No, I’m NOT six - even in dog or cat years.
And no, IT IS NOT THE SAME. Try walking into a dressing room/rest room at a fitness center yakking on your cell phone or wearing one of these glass contraptions, and see what happens.
Have a nice day, crabby.
I’m enjoying your testosterone, too.
Here’s hoping you have lots to spare for a long time.
:D
Happens all the time.
I would assume it’s a ‘guy thing’ because women rarely do it and to be fair, if men weren’t built that way, we’d have no Marines, no cowboys and no warrior poets.
Perhaps it’s just the natural result of being in a forum populated by manly men.
I seriously doubt DU erupts into fits of macho posturing very often.

There are many Christian MCs.
Last summer a bunch of them stationed themselves at truck stop near Little Orleans during the “bike week” deal and spent 4 long, hot days dispensing free cold water and any other kind of assistance needed.
They were so fervent in their service that one need only ~look~ somewhat parched and a person bearing Dasani would suddenly pop up with a smile.
Freaked me out because grinning people bearing gifts materializing in front of me suddenly makes my nerves bad.
:D
