Johnny is absolutely correct, you can see the entire amount of your comp
account if you're sneaky - and tall - enough. We used Deb's account because we
used mine the last time, in an attempt to make sure she didn't drift beyond that
6-month clock. As we stood there, I leaned over a little bit to look at the
boothling's screen and could see her comp balance was $320. Lowest left
corner of the screen (boothling's right corner). She asked for $70, and that
number immediately changed to $250, so I know it was the right number. There is a
yellow highlighted strip across the bottom of the boothling's screen, it's
really quite easy to see the number if you can unobtrusively lean over far
enough. Since Greektown has a long-standing policy of No Tell for comp balances,
this is some handy info.
By the way, we used that $70 at Pizza Papalis for a take-home order. One
enormous half-baked deep-dish gourmet pizza, two pasta entrees, and what turned
out to be one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had in my life, complete with
strawberry topping in a separate container. Total bill was $65. Leftovers -
yum! It ain't the same as a Vegas gourmet room, but the price is certainly
right and the chow was excellent. PP is famous around here for some of the best
pizza in the state.

So this means that one needs to get something comped to renew the 6-month
clock? Think I'll have to get one of those Pizza Papalis half-baked pies

have evidence to the contrary , let me know.This is all the more reason to get a Cold Stone ice cream or Astoria goody
box when you visit. You have to keep those comp accounts alive.
