The Easy Eight

For a few hours a couple guys kept hollaring what the point was eight or six "EASY EIGHT" or "EASY SIX" even tho they had lots of money of the hard way. I think they thought it meant that it is easy to roll. Anyway so the louder of the 2 guys has cashed out and gone, the other guy still feeling the vibe and only a couple players left by this time. I send the dice out to him, and once again we have Eight for a point, then you guessed it he starts "EASY EIGHT... we like that easy eight! EASY EIGHT!"

So my tired slap-happy self leans over the table his direction and yell out "How do you like your Eights?!" But he didn't get it as I expected him to say "EASY EIGHT!" but he seemed dumbfounded and replied "Uhh I dont know?" So I came back on the fly with this reply "Eights Over Easy" (like... Eggs Over easy...) and we got a snicker out of it, but then Suddenly KC, my 3rd base dealer, realized what I said and he about dies in laughter right there at the table, and then me too, laughing so hard I can't do anything. The game continues with us 2 cracking up, and so a few rolls later theres the Eight come 5-3 (EASY EIGHT- WINNER) and KC jumps the gun and says Eight Over Easy. Then the rest of the 8 rolls of the night KC laughs out saying "Over Easy" until suddenly a Hard Eight (4-4) rolls, and this one KC has in the bag "Hard Boiled!" Also funny buy not quite as funny as the random unexpected Over Easy.


I can tell KC has a blast working with me, he's only been here about a week but I sure am giving him a show! Let me flashback to his 1st night working with me.

A guy keeps betting the Yo every roll! I send out the dice to this guy for his roll, knowing he wants a Yo, I send them set up at 6-5 and I yell out "Show me your Yo!!" I do this everytime it was his roll! He even hit it a number of times, good thing. It's just a fun time!

Tonight KC recollected this memory after the Easy Eight Fun, And I told him "You've never had this much fun dealing dice, than with me!"

I like to make sure everyone is having a good time! And on this note this is why I got another silly star award from a customer comment tonight.

I'm afraid this kind of fun and attitude and camaraderie just doesn't exist on the rest of the strip. The dealers and atmosphere always seems solemn and somber everywhere else. I dont know if I want to stop having fun at work...
