I get that they are totally sus, especially in this case, but.....are the glasses the MAIN issue here? It feels like he's just a person who needs to get his ass beat in general.

How is this pervwear not the main issue

Crashing out on customers, threatening to fight the husband, not giving back ID's, yelling at employees who try to return said property, etc. The glasses are a cherry on a shit sundae.

The GM's behaviour is one issue. The pervglasses are also an issue though and should be addressed first as they make people feel violated in a way the GM's behaviour might not.

I have no doubt this creep was taking photos of the female customer's ID prior to being able to use Meta's pervglasses to streamline their process of creeping on customers.

I would say the unchecked power the GM has had made them feel entitled and lead to them using the pervwear at work.

Report the behaviour of the GM to local law enforcement, and have them confiscate the recordings etc, then fire the GM for wearing the pervglasses against company policy.

Totally fair
