No one! Seen it many times at various rec centers, weekly. One person working at the center has many jobs, responsibilities, expectations, etc. They cannot sit at the front desk for their shift. The folks we know that work these shifts work very hard and do the best they can. Sitting at the front desk continuously to check ids as people come in cannot be done. Eventually, they can track down those that come in (mostly). If folks have no ID, they may be asked to leave, but they have already gotten in and have used the facilities (pools, kitchens, pool rooms, restrooms, etc).
Something should be done. What makes sense? Depends on how far you are willing to go.
