Here's a collection I've amassed over a week or so.
Suck the first: The Know-It-All
As a dealer, I get a lot of people asking me questions about the games, and the finer points of the rules. I don't mind that - it's part of my job, and it's not a big deal.
What I DID mind, is when I was at a table, and every time someone asked me a question, this guy felt the need to jump in and answer for me, and TALK OVER ME. Seriously dude, SHUT UP. If they had wanted to hear from you, they would have asked you. But they asked me. LET ME DO MY JOB.
I wouldn't have objected nearly so much if the answers he was talking over me to give had been even close to right. They weren't. So not only was he rude, he was stupid.
Suck the second: The Smartass
Due to a slight malfunction with the shuffling machine, two cards got spat out when there was only meant to be one. I immediately made a "hands off" gesture, left the extra where it lay, and called my supervisor to get the cameras checked. Meanwhile, my table was stalled, because we couldn't touch anything until we got instructions.
So this guy is sitting there making snide comments about how he can't lose the hand no matter what happens, because he already has 21, and why don't I just pay him already. When I ignored that, he went on to start commenting on how long it was taking. Now, it was taking a long time because it was a Saturday night, and the people who check the cameras have got more than one fish to fry, so to speak, but this guy decided to make the comment that they were all just probably watching TV, and how hard was it to just rewind a video over a $30 hand. As if the small amount of money would somehow speed the process or allow our incident to jump the queue.
This is the part where I snapped and I said that our camera people have got an entire casino to watch, and excuse us very much if on the busiest night of the week it takes more than thirty seconds to check something. So this guy gets all butthurt and remarks to his girlfriend that I'm clearly in a bad mood. Really dude? You're going to sit there and accuse my colleagues of sitting on their asses and watching TV and act like they're incompetent, and somehow I'm the one with the problem?
Suck the Third: The Potty Mouth and His Daddy
This was part suck and part "oops". It was the same guy as the previous suck. Now, he was sitting on my far LEFT, and every time he got bad cards, he was cussing up a storm. As per policy, I got my inspector to come stand on my RIGHT, to inform him that "box 1" (this guy's seat) was cussing and could he do something.
Straight after I said that, I see the older gent in box 7 - my far RIGHT - get up and go around the table to whisper in Smartass's ear, but still I think nothing of it.
Anyway, my inspector is standing over Smartass waiting for him to say something unacceptable, but Smartass is being very restrained. I tell the inspector that I'll call him if it happens again, and he nods. Smartass pipes up. "I'm right here, you don't have to talk about me behind my back."
Oops. Older Gent is Smartass's father, and heard me informing the inspector about Smartass's potty mouth, and went around to inform him.
Well, whatever. If you didn't have such a foul mouth on you, then we wouldn't have HAD to say something about you. That's all on you, buddy.
Suck the Fourth: A Quick One
When you are so drunk and obnoxious that we kick you out and you literally have to be dragged out, and your ejection causes an entire room full of people to cheer and applaud, you have had TOO MUCH TO DRINK.
Adjust your intake accordingly next time.
