Quote: GreasyjohnYour post reminds me of when I hit my soft 18 against a dealer 10 up. I draw a 9 and the dealer winds up with 18.
Better than hitting and getting an 8 for a hard 16 then standing (as you should)....then people are like "what dafaq u hit 18 but not 16?? omgz!"

You forgot doing this at 3rd base, then having the dealer flip a 6 and draw a 5. Total strangers will make their best attempt to telepathically set you on fire.
I withdrew $1200 cash the other day and the teller asked me what I needed the money for. WTF???
I deposited a fairly large check a few weeks ago, and I was asked about 4 times if I wanted to see a financial advisor.
I’m about to just close my accounts at this branch just the nosey tellers. I’ve never had this issue anywhere else.

I think they're doing such things so overdrafts hit more accounts. If the banks can delay a cash deposit, ca-ching. It's probably a main reason a third party deposits in a bank account. They're full of shit.Quote: billryanStarting in May, Wells Fargo will only accept cash deposits from the person whose name is on the account.

I received a similar notice from JP Morgan/ Chase bank months ago, saying the same thing. Don't know if you said this, but I believe they said no one else could make a cash payment for a customer at all? So if a friend or brother or whatever rushed to the bank to make a payment you remembered while out of state, even with the money, you miss your payment.Quote: billryanStarting in May, Wells Fargo will only accept cash deposits from the person whose name is on the account.

It's all about control. I don't know if they will accept cash at all?
Quote: gamerfreakI cannot STAND when bank tellers ask me about whatever I’m doing with my money.

I was just discussing this the other day.
I have no bank now, screw them.
I used take out of state personal checks
to my bank, 30 of them sometimes,
and they paid me cash even if I had only
$100 in my account. That was pre 9/11.
After 9/11 it totally changed. Now if
I deposit a check from a bank across
the street, it's takes days before the
money is available, out of state can
take 10 days.
A manager told me years ago that
things were getting really tight and
the public had no idea. They want
to know where all your money comes
from what you do with it. Screw that.
There are other ways to handle cash
that doesn't involve bank accounts.
Now, I do online banking and supermarket withdrawals if I need cash, else its just a debit card. Haven't been in a branch bank or at an ATM in years.
Wouldn't work in a bank, but for other joints that try to be overly familiar phony friends, like when a certain overpriced yuppie coffee chain which I will not name (but rhymes with "Starbucks") asks for my name when ordering at the counter, obviously none of their damn beeswax to make coffee, it is my policy to lie. Usually with an insipid substitute like "Joe." But if feeling mischievous, sometimes my name becomes something like "Number Nineteen." "Uh, your name is number nineteen, Sir?" "Yes, yes it is." ... "Attention, calling number nineteen, your double XYZ Liquid Meth Special is ready now." And then I get to see maybe half a dozen people suddenly stricken with confused looks that say: "Huh, wait, what, I don't remember any number, what number was I supposed to be?" Sue me.Quote: FleaStiffWorst thing about tellers several years ago was this habit of addressing customers by name. I kept telling them not to do it but its like talking to a brick wall. They just couldn't understand that the person in line behind me...<SNIP>...<nevermind who I don't wanna know what & why>...

I have read that Bank Tellers will ask what the money is for for your own protection. Someone said something like "The Bank Teller asked me what the money was for because she thought I was a victim of a Robbery and was being forced to withdraw thousands of dollars against my will." This is plausible as my mother told me of her friend's son and his friend attempted robbery and held most of the family hostage and tied them up and they didn't know there was another family member still in the house and that last family member shot them/killed them both to protect himself and his family. There is nothing to say that a scared person who didn't have a gun would be forced to go to a bank and withdraw thousands of dollars to give to the robbers to save their families lives. Which is why a concerned Bank Teller would ask what the money is for.

What bank do you use/were you using? I don't know that I've ever had that problem... I'll deposit checks from other banks and it's available the same day to cover pending transactions. By midnight it's totally in my account.
Obviously other stuff like dealer 6 card 21s and losing with 20 are also annoying.
I have never in my life said to a representative, when they've ask me how I'm doing, "I'm going good, thanks for asking."
Oh, I get it. They're thanking you for showing a basic conversational courtesy. You're taking a lowly representative, or God forbid solicitor, and humanizing them.
To all companies: Tell your workers to quit thanking customers for asking how they are. We already have to put up with solicitors, and wait on hold forever and often have to go through a bunch of menu prompts to speak to a representative as it is. Please don't make me have to listen to someone trying to butter me up or thank me for showing basic courtesy.
You wanted to know my pet peeve? Thank you for asking.
You may choose to be Dead at times.Quote: JoemanHey, now! ;)

Quote: Greasyjohnand they ask you how you're doing and you say, "Fine, how are you?".
I hate that to the point I always now
respond, 'How am I doing? I have no
idea, if you find out let me know.'
I've said this so many times it's automatic.
It always takes people by surprise and
they usually find it funny. I have gotten
the occasional 'smart ass' comment, though.
What I really hate is if somebody asks:
"Are you OK?"
You hear this constantly on TV and in
movies. Am I OK in what way, and how is
that your business in any shape or
form. I will NEVER ask that of anybody,
ever. Yet people do it all the time.
And then the really annoying ones that are just old forwarded emails that only say "Please advise"
Like it's so hard to copy and paste the original message? Or they feel the need to remind you of the original time stamp of the email?
I wonder if there's a handbook for bad managerial tips that include these gems?
Extremely annoying
Also people who say "Ace or Face" repeatedly EVERY.SINGLE.HAND.
And craps players who make up their own little phrases every time they throw the dice.

Ironically enough his most recent post is still relevant even though its 7 months old.

Quote: mcallister3200OMG Glen, one jack off, every time I hear that in a casino I’m happy for myself and everyone around me that I don’t carry a firearm. Can’t imagine how tired you are of it. The worst is when dealers say it, how can they still want to hear that?
Cheap Laughs = Cheap way to get tipped. Its a pretty common tactic. Works very well in a Vegas/Touristy casino

I feel blessed I never heard any of

players always yell 'monkey monkey'
for a face card occasionally, but I
don't play bac anymore.

Because that makes it complicated to keep track of them, in order to avoid all the other days at those places during which paying customers are not to be appreciated.

I went to an Oakland A's Fan Appreciation Day game once - got a "free" green baseball bat, and saw what I think was the first-ever four-pitcher no-hitter.
Something tells me, however, that the casinos aren't giving away free stuff.

It’s really has more to do with your electrolyte levels. I’ve started to get a metobolic panel a few days before big casino trip so I have time to make the proper adjustments to my diet.

Quote: DrawingDeadStation Crapolafest update bulletin:
This past Sunday I passed another giveaway of valuable prizes for honored patrons of a Station property in progress. The recipients were clutching their precious cargo of...a boxed cleaning cloth. Yes, they were giving away rags. Yellow rags, in a box. Yes, there was a line to get them. Yes, it was long. I wonder how many of them got wrapped, tied with a bow, and given as a thoughtful gift to someone who'd just done the same.
I don't get the calendars announcing these spectacular events. Apparently you have to be at a certain level of slot machine play on your comp card to get an invite, and if you are at a high enough level of regular suckerdom you get two of whatever they are passing out, but I've never put a nickel into any of the machines, only used it to log in at the poker tables, so I'm not invited. Sniff.
I feel like such a sucker paying a garbage company to come pick-up my trash.
Quote: AxelWolfI have a feeling that woman in front of you was a very close family member.

Quote: DrawingDeadThat depends on your definition of terms like "give" and "stuff."
Was it just "a boxed cleaning cloth," or a box of ShamWows (which, I will admit, you can get rather cheaply at Costco)? Seriously, those things are great for cleaning up spills (much better than a sponge or a mop) - just don't put them in the clothes dryer.
Now we're stretching the outermost limits of my cleaning fabric expertise here. What I know, or at least believe I recall of my experience of trying to walk through the middle of the fantanbulous event that had taken over one side of the casino, was that they were packaged in a little cardboard box like a less than half sized box of crackers, with a plastic window revealing that the rag inside was yellow. And I have no knowledge of whether or to what extent the only Sham I'm acquainted with (or any of his Pharaos) was Wowed.Quote: ThatDonGuyWas it just "a boxed cleaning cloth," or a box of ShamWows (which, I will admit, you can get rather cheaply at Costco)?

So into the dryer with them would be bad. For the rag, or the rag's neighbors inside the dryer, or the dryer... or my house? Purely theoretical question, since none of them came home with me, but can't resist asking. (Imagining what fate may have befallen some of them - Station Casinos slot degens are not likely to be diligent readers of instructions).
Quote: hitthat16It irks me when people laugh while in a heavy losing streak. Yeah buddy, isn’t this hilarious? I can’t think of anything funnier than losing these ten hands in a row!

Yeah I’ve read an article or two a while ago about how room service is a struggle to make money or even break even. Idk if it’s true or not, but there are always lots of “extra” costs that people don’t realize with pretty much everything.
E.G.: When you buy a steak at a restaurant, just because the ribeye cost the restaurant $1 and they’re selling it for $45, doesn’t mean they’re making $44 on it. They gotta pay waiters, bus boys, host, bartender, chef, etc., lights and electricity and gas, dish washing, laundry for table cloths and some uniforms, rent, insurance, also fade losses like glasses/dishes/stolen steak knives/grumpy customers who get their meal for free/etc., and a bunch of other crap. On top of all that, it has to make sense for the owner financially to be worth the risk (just like how I’m not going to make a $10k bet on roulette even though I have a 0.05% edge, the profit isn’t worth the risk).
