Skate America Rink151

My family has given literally THOUSANDS of dollars to this dump for 40 years...and that stopped tonight!

My son calls me up saying they banned him..not for one week or one month....but for LIFE! Why? Because he posted on his Facebook page that Skate America is gay. When I arrived I tried reasoning with Cara that we are there every weekend and have kept that place in business for four decades. Banning him for LIFE over some post on Facebook they didn't agree with seems a little extreme. She told me they have a right to kick anybody out at anytime for any reason. When I began asking about their posted rules she told me she was calling the police and had some short tattooed hilljack stand next to me in some lame attempt to try and intimidate me. I explained everything to the officers and they said it appears they don't take criticism very well and suggested I contact the BBB because it is poor business practices.

My son says they have kicked nearly ALL of the kids out he knew there and BANNED them for life also for various reasons. It appears to be an attempt to get rid of any older teens that go there since America is full of many of them who cause problems. What they don't realize apparently is that on a Friday or Saturday night you won't find your 6 yr old at a "Late Skate" and if they don't want teens there, then DO NOT promote "Teen Skate Night!!"

I'm disgusted with the way the management at Skate America handled this situation and will NEVER go back.
