Give that woman a free drink.

Being seen in public wearing Google Glass is a statement.
Some, though, see it as a statement that you are tone-deaf, socially blind, and congenitally self-righteous.
Casinos have banned it and one Seattle restaurant owner described Google Glass wearers as “man children stinkin’ up the joint.“
But now one joint has come to Glassholes’ rescue. As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, the Stanford Court, in San Francisco’s snooty Nob Hill, is welcoming Glass wearers.
Indeed, it’s not just opening its arms. It’s opening its pockets, by offering a free cocktail to anyone who DOES wear Glass in its Aurea Lounge.
Naturally, there’s an element of brown-nosing to the monied. A hotel spokesperson told the Chronicle: “The complimentary drink is geared toward the local tech crowd who own a pair, and might feel like an outcast or nuisance due to the recent string of negative press. [We] want them to feel at home.”
