  • Wait, you want a discount WHY?? Oh my goodness

    As mentioned in another post I work at a Casino now. I don't deal with many SCs in my particular department (yay me!) but I do encounter them every now and then in other areas of this place.

    The quickest way to get to the parking garage after clocking out is to go down a short hallway which brings you out right by a slot machine area and our buffet. A few days ago when I got to this area, I saw a curious sight. There was a customer at the buffet, two employees and a manager all having a very animated discussion about something. I discreetly listened in. I'll paraphrase what I heard...

    (see if you can count the SCisms in here)

    M - manager
    BW - Buffet worker
    SC - you know...

    M: Let me make sure I have this right sir, you want a discount on the buffet for you and your wife because you don't have much money?
    SC: NO! I want a discount because I ended spending more money than I planned at the roulette table and now I don't have enough to pay full price.
    M: You chose to gamble sir, you chose to play roulette knowing you might use your money, I can't discount the buffet for you.
    SC: This is outrageous, I spend thousands of dollars at the casino, I deserve better treatment!
    M: If you did actually spend that much here sir you wouldn't HAVE to pay for a buffet because it would be comped, seeing as how you don't have a comp I doubt you're as high a roller as you claim. I also understand you've been harassing our buffet workers?
    SC: Absolutely not!
    BW: Oh so threatening to break my nose and casino property doesn't count as harassment? Good to know.
    SC: He's lying!
    M: Sir I feel I should remind you we have security cameras all over this casino that record video...and audio. All I need to do is review the recording to find out who said what. Now are you going to make me do that or not?
    SC: (deflated) I might've said a few things I didn't mean...but I was angry, and I'm still angry!
    M: I am sorry for your frustrations sir, but I can't comp a buffet for you or your wife under any circumstances. It just doesn't work that way.
    SC: But I'm a preferred customer!
    M: That may be but that still doesn't mean you get a discounted or free buffet. For the final time, there is NOTHING I can do. If you keep causing trouble you will no longer be a preferred customer. In fact I will have security take you away and ban you from this property for life.
    SC: You wouldn't dare!
    M: I would. The safety of my employees, our guests and casino property is important to me. If I need to protect it by getting rid of you that's exactly what I'll do. Now are you going to let this go...or do I need to call security?
    SC: No, I'll go, but I still protest this treatment I am receiving. I'm going to complain to your boss about you! Consider yourself lucky if you still have a job tomorrow! (huffs away)

        This is, quite unfortunately, life as usual in a casino. People think that they get owed free food just for sitting down at a table and playing a few hands. Doesn't work like that.

        Common scenario at my casino follows.

        Player sits down at a $25 blackjack table. Buys in for $200. Plays for 20-30 min. Then wants a comp to the asian restaurant we have on property, which can run $40-50 per person. And not just one, they want comps for 3-4 people. Not. Happening. And yet, they continue to try, night after night, and keep asking for comps even after they've been told they don't have enough points earned yet.

        Best one, though. Idiot was playing blackjack, betting $100 or so per hand. Wants a comp to go to eat. Floorperson checks their account, sees they have $150 or so in credit, tells him to just use his card since he has that credit. His reply? "NO, you WILL print me a comp, because I don't want to use that credit on food." Needless to say, he did NOT get a printed comp, even after threatening to go to the head of the casino. Doesn't work that way, buddy.
        Dealer hits... 21. Table loses.

        This happens more often than most people want to believe.

          So, I'm guessing he had to scrounge up the pennies to pay for his buffet? Or do you have to pay first?
          They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

              Ya see, this is why all the local casinos make you pay for the buffet BEFORE you eat ^_^

              And could you please clone that buffet manager? We could all use more like him!
