Google Glass news: Glass owner Nick Starr had eaten at Lost Lake Cafe, a 24-hour diner in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Neighborhood, while wearing the AR lens several times, but on his last visit he was asked to remove the headset or leave, according to The Verge.

The network engineer asked the server for a written policy banning the glass, but when the server held her ground, he left the premises. It turned out that the owner of Lost Lake, David Meinert, is a vocal anti-Glass restaurateur.

“It's about privacy," Jason Lajeunesse, Meinert's business partner, told Forbes as reported by The Verge. "It's one thing to take out a camera and capture a moment, people see you doing it, they have a chance to step out if the want to. With Glass people don't have a chance to do that. We want our customers to feel comfortable, not like they're being watched.”

The Lost Lake owner has also made headlines in March when he preemptively banned Glass from another establishment he owns, the 5-point cafe in Seattle. Meinert is not the only one banning the device from his establishment.

Last April, Google Glass has been reportedly banned in cinemas and casinos because owners don’t want them wearers filming on such locations. Owners from such establishments in the U.S. said that due to privacy concerns, they would be asking anyone wearing glasses to remove them or they won’t be let in.

Included in the April report by NBC, it noted that parks departments and banks across America are also waiting to see how the technology will be used and could possibly decide to ban them as well in their premises.

Google Glass can be availed through the invitation-only and by application Glass Explorer program for $1,500. It has yet to have an official consumer release date but gets software updates monthly from the Google Glass team.
