Greedy Old Couple

#1

Again, everyone, when I wrote that original post, it was with the
understandable assumption that the person posing the question to the 80-year-old couple
was not the least bit polite about it. I can be one of the nicest guys
you've ever met, and I usually am (Jean knows this, so does Bob and a few others
here). But if you verbally fire at me, you'd better pack a lunch. :slight_smile:

It takes such a little effort to be nice. If you go around with a defensive
attitude and/or a chip on your shoulder, you are going to attract problem
attitudes. I like to have a peaceful loving atmosphere around me at all
times, in and out of a casino. I am more apt to have that if I follow the
Golden Rule - treating people like I would like to be treated.

aggressiveness. <snip>

Which is absolutely how I meant it, too. I HAVE been rudely asked when
I'm going to "give up" a machine. It has startled me and made me make
a mistake, too! I can't recall a time when someone has "nicely" asked
me to give up a machine. The people asking are normally upset because
they can't GET ON the machine they want, so they're already in a snit
and it shows when they ask!

I'm never rude to people in normal circumstances. In fact,I'm one of
the most polite and overly nice people in normal, every day life!

Now I'm off to go have some fun in Vegas. Y'all have a nice day!

The last time I got asked how long I was going to be on a machine was
at Binions a few years ago. They trotted out some old Game Kings from
the warehouse, and one of them had a $2 FP Joker. I think I was asked
about 6 times in an hour by several different people when I would be
getting off. There was also a points challenge going on as well, and
although I don't think a $2 machine could be a threat, one of the
leaders outed the machine to management.
