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."
