Fun in the News!

Saw this and figured it qualified as a SC.

In summary, a 400+ pound gambler pitched a fit when the casino asked that he leave because he'd been playing for 17 hours and others were beginning to voice complaint about his body odor.

Ah, so that's what Funkstain's been up to...!

[crazylegs]

Hmm, I think I might balk if someone told me infront of complete strangers that I smelt bad, the manager could have done it away from the table.

However as the casino won't comment and we don't know both sides of the story it's a tough call.

The information about the odor issue was delivered away from the table. (in the Men's room)
He asked for somewhere to freshen up - they wouldn't give him free room and board - ok I get that. Does the establishment have a spa? A men's locker with showers?

Will be interesting to hear what the Gaming Board has to say.

The power of addiction.

You know if the casino gives him anything, he's just going to give it back to them through his gambling. That's kind of a nice thought.

"I would like an apology," Wax said.

Shouldn't HE be apologizing to everyone else for being Mr. StinkAss?

and why should the casino just GIVE him a free room to freshen up? It's like a new breed of Entitlement Whores... "I stink therefore you give me free room." ?

Yeah, who's to say someone else won't latch onto that idea, and it'll all snowball from there. Give the SCs an inch, they'll demand a mile and pitch a conniption fit until they get it. And all the SCs everywhere will demand their share as well.

How about just zapping this jerk with a firehose and some industrial strength cleaner?!
