"Our patrons have expressed concern with being recorded while enjoying themselves at the willows, kindly remove before entering," the sign said CBS in San Francisco reported Tuesday.

"OMG so you'll never believe this but... I got verbally and physically assaulted and robbed last night in the city, had things thrown at me because of some *** Google Glass haters ..." Slocum said in a post on her Facebook page.

Things turned ugly following Slocum's non-eventful demonstration of the product when other patrons became unhappy that Slocum might be recording them using the device.
