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."

friend, you’ve probably’been recorded by other people and you never even knew’it. people run audio recorders from the time they leave’their house to the time they come back. the establishment you eat in will record you multiple’times with multiple’cameras while’you are there.
the street you drove to the restaurant has cameras along its route that record your car and you driving and is time/date stamped.
getting bent out of shape on another ctizien who may not even have it on, and may possibly’be recording his surroudings, if you comeover and bother him, you will be the instigator and a willing participant, and if you escalate things to physical violence he will win big time against’you in court.
you act as if there are no appropriate or common sense reasons for someone recording their surroundings with this. you don’t get to decide for them. you don’t get to make your own assumptions and attack them.
Never go out in public...
Just to be on the safe side.
excellent. excellent use of signage.
I remember that place,...it’s right down the street from the Y-12 plant. Back in the 80s they were QC spot checking the trees and found a hot spot in the lot you see in the glass reflection. Right behind that place was where they had some buried reactive waste in concrete coffins,...yeah, that’s the place.
Make that sort of move on me and I will kill you.
Streets are public, a private business may record in their own premises for security of course.
Those are very different things.
Dude better be blustering. Must be; he’s alive enough to post.
Yes.
And the term is nerd.
I’m large. Unpleasant. Very well armed. And would end you without a second thought if you attack me.
You don’t like the Glass. Fine. Don’t associate with those who wear them. Keep your threats of assault and battery to yourself before someone feeds you your own teeth.
What rules of privacy? It's a public venue, and, wait for it. You have no expectation of privacy in a public venue. Is the owner going to ban customers with smart phone cameras too? I hope so, because his business will go into the toilet.
it doesn’t require an acreage of signage and you know’it. it doesn’t to show a ‘no guns’ sign on the door.
and you missed the other point, that is if thy have such a policy, don’t start treating the person as a customer and seat him for service, and then partway through that service tell him about your ‘policy’. that’s bullcrap. you can’t know they don’t allow something if they don’t say anything but start taking your order, and then all of a sudden it’s brought up after’thefact.
Not likely, if you’re in my bar. The Marines will get you first.
You must never leave your bar without your Marine escort.
How asinine.
I can secretly record sound and video with an app on my phone. I’m also able to secretly take pictures with my DSLR.
I’d rather not be recorded in public either. But, I realize that being out in public, I don’t really have a choice if that is where I want to be.
I sure as hell ain’t gonna “slap” someone for doing it. “Non-initiation of force/fraud/theft” and all that.
End of sentence.
I AM a Marine.
And yes, I’d get you first...
I'll keep an eye out for large, armed, Google Glass wearers from now on. /s
perhaps your definition of conservative is off-kilter. think about it awhile. you know, before going off and slapping someone.
