I don’t know if it was just me for some reason but are the security guards at 590 Madison on some rent-a-cop power trip???
Was told that I “wasn’t allowed” to put my feet on a chair while I was sitting at a table minding my own. Asked the guard why to which he responded “I work here” as if that was justification.
Obviously with Privately Owned Public Spaces the owners are allowed to set some rules but that seemed excessive even to me. I asked where that rule was posted and the security guard pointed to a sign on the wall. The closest rule that seemed relevant said that you couldn’t place personal belongings on chairs or benches, but that’s a stretch.
I’m not gonna waste time on it and the folks across the street at 550 Madison in the other POPS literally next door were much nicer anyways. Just wondering if anyone else has had any weird experiences
