Leaving a table mid-hand to take a crap

Last night I was at the Blackjack table and an Asian lady was dealt a hard 17, promptly got up from her seat and headed to the restroom. The dealer refused to fold her hand or play the hand as is. The pit boss said we all had to wait until she returned. It took 13 minutes for her to finish taking her dump-a-roosky. The dealer ended up with 20 and she lost. They allowed her to continue play without even so much as a warning.

How the FK is this possible? Does this sort of behavior happen often? I've never seen it ... first time ever for me. I don't know how they would let her continue to play.

I'd welcome this every much...If this were to happen to me, she'd be making me $15 in comps for around 15 minutes she is taking a dump. I play black chips...

$100 X 60 hands an hour X 0.01 X 0.25 (15 minutes out of the hour) = $15

That's pretty terrible. I wonder what the casino's play is if a player abandons a hand and its unclear if they're coming back.

Makes for a possible AP move. Bet table max at third and accomplice bets min at first. First time third gets a terrible hand like 16vT, first base runs away screaming before acting. Third demands their bet be pushed back since there's a hand in front with nobody to act on it.

So you followed her into a stall and know she took a crap?

LOL @ $15 for somebody else taking a dump. I'd have asked for a free drink while I was waiting.

AP to the max!

I don't mind waiting. I've been at the craps table when a shooter has been on a long roll and seen lots of guys do the "dance" not wanting to miss out.

Maybe she had to find a computer to check the proper index play....

...unless they paused your rating, or even worse, reduced your bet frequency.

I know they can pause it. I don't think they can reduce your betting frequencies. I usually play 1 on 1 and I know I hit more than 60 hands an hour. Probably closers to 180 when I have a fast dealer. I've once asked the pit if they can up the number of hands in my rating and I was told no. When I'm tipping, I've had pit bosses giving me a more favorable avg hand knowing I'm playing more hands. Not all pits are nice.

If I was in the Pit or got a call on what to do, I would have considered the hand abandoned, played out the dealer hand and taken her money.
