Genuine question: what are you hoping for from people in response to this situation?

Good advice, maybe a more positive community? This wasn’t a acceptable interaction. Unless you think it is. If so how would you feel in my situation?

As far as I can tell both in this thread and what you've said about the other employees at this location, everyone agrees it wasn't an acceptable or normal interaction. Some people also speculated about the need for overly cautious interactions at a 24 hour facility at night, but everyone seems to agree the employee could have handled it better/differently.

Look man, you had a weird situation. Maybe this guy was new and confused and worried about making a mistake. Don’t let one weird interaction stop you from doing what you want. Get your membership card and just go on with your life. If you see this Mike guy again just scan your card and smile in his face and go about your business.

You want the hard truth as to why everyone is yelling you to “just deal with it”? Because it’s an insignificant thing. You’re acting as if your life is going to be ruined because of this one incident. People have bad days, maybe “Mike” was having a bad day. Im sure your frustration with the situation didn’t help to calm the vibe either. People are becoming so, and I HATE this word, soft. This isn’t a life altering issue, you came here for pity from the community and you didn’t get it, and now you’re whining about not getting pity. Toughen up. Some days are harder than others. Short of someone physically assaulting you, or continuously berating or belittling you, things aren’t that big of a deal. Shake it off, move on, and I hope you have a better experience when you go next time.
