People do this kind of thing at airports to jump the lines, I've read, by requesting assistance and are wheeled to the planes.



And at Disney's parks, you have to wonder how many people in wheelchairs really need them.

If we find out they are faking it we should be able to beat them until they need wheelchairs. I really think these scumbags don't deserve to walk after doing something like this.

Lol maybe a little harsh but I understand the frustration.

I don't know why people would want to take their dogs with them. I love my dogs and all but I am happy when I leave the house and don't have to take care of them.

I believe I read recently that Disney parks will no longer give cuts in line. Instead they will give a ticket with the estimated time that the line will take and the people will have to come back at that time.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I do. But there are places where they can cause major problems. I can't imagine taking a dog to the casino, for example. And I suppose taking care of a dog in a hotel, even a pet friendly hotel, must be rather a hassle.

I don't have any pets right now. If I did, I doubt I'd take trips longer than ten days, just because I know they'd miss me.

It would be fun to take videos of peoples reactions bringing in ridiculous species of animals with service vests on to restaurants and such. Say you're making a documentary about the abuse of service animal vests if anyone gives you a problem.

Looks like you're right. That's disappointing for anyone with actual disabilities, particularly those that have mobility issues within the park. They will have not nearly as much time to experience the park/enjoy the rides as those with normal mobility.

here is one that I snapped at Horseshoe Cleveland. The dog was a boxer/pitbull mix. At least that is what it looked like. There were no markings on the dog for a service dog so I have no idea what he was doing in there.

Yeah, if you're going to get that much heat on (relatively low stakes) BJ, I can't imagine that it is worth playing.

Too warm to lug that around from casino to casino. I've also noticed a few years ago that AC poker rooms were generally kept cold. Not anymore.

Good question.

My last dog was so excitable among new people, that I think in a casino she would run around madly, or perhaps sit next to me and bark at anyone that passed by.

Here is a savings tip. Instead of paying the Jitney, how about riding your fold-able bike instead? Your bike can be locked up ( or stored there) in a bike rack at any casino garage. BTW, Hilton got the best bike rack by its garage entrance. Bikes were "protected" by a huge surveillance camera right there, & bikes could be stored there for years.






A wise AP would use up the unfrozen comp dollars in one shot. Forget about the cheap banana. Go for a gold ring. My buddy (a pawn shop owner) would pay cash for gold rings.



I don't live in town. I don't have a bike either. I last rode a bike when I was 7. I fell, gave it up, and played more Super Nintendo.

If Bread and Butter sold gold rings at 1:1, I just might do that.

Its going to screw over the people who actually need them such as blind people or vets who require a service dog just to get out of the house. They will be required to carry more paperwork or have some major inconvenience to weed out the riff raff of people just wanting their pets everywhere.

I tend to agree with the person who said if it had been a passenger who got ill, there would be no story.

Also, you know how often it can take up to a half hour between landing and getting the plane door open? I hope this wasn't one of those times ;P

Insane! Yes, ditto that. Here is a tip to unfreeze your comp dollars once for all. Tell Pink and share your story with:

1) The Press,
Columnist Pink appears every Thursday in The Press of AC.

and 2) NBC TV40,
TV talk host Pink airs 7:30 p.m. Saturdays on NBC TV40.

and 3) The Radio Talk Show.
Radio talk host Pink airs 4 to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays on WOND 1400-AM.

Pink is always looking for new materials to do his job. Just email your story to Pink at PINKyscrnr@aol.com. Your story will be a talk of the town as soon as Pink relates your story thru his shows & newspapers.

Hopefully your story thru the above will embarrass Borgata so much so that the senior shift manager will unfreeze your comp dollars forever. Good luck.

Opps, you're right. "Slightly inconvienced" can be tolerated by an AP; thus, it's not worth to blow an AP's 007-cover. So you just downgrade "INSANE" to "SLIGHTLY INCONVIENCED" within 5 hours :-) You're a Saint who's famous for the forgiveness of transgression.



Really? Context? As a general principal, having to talk to a shift manager every time to go use your comps is insane. But compare it GOING ON THE NEWS to complain about it makes it seem like no big deal.

I'm still not giving you the DGE agents name.
