3-Quarter Moon, My @$$

On the way to work early this morning S noticed the moon, He thought it was full, but it was a 3-quarter moon. Usually the moon being full is a bad sign for dealers, The crazies really do come out! It seemed like a full moon today.
I hope I can remember everything I wanted to, but it is not too likely, which is why i dont post too much anymore. Maybe I need some Ginko-something or other...

First thing this morning I am waiting for my shift to start and a swing shift female dice dealer tell me of a creep on the table, I had full intention to handle that my way. But as I Tap onto the table they are coloring him up and he leaves. He returned briefly later in the day but that was just long enough for him to feel the table cold. Thank gawd as I wasn't going to put up with crap.

Then I have a 20-something black male as the only player on my side. He's an idiot. He trows the dice off a number of times and then drops F-Bombs all over the place. Finally I had enough, I said "Look, You can not be talking like that at the table, casino rules!" And he replies "Are you some kind of F-ing Innocent Princess, WTF no one can hear me!" But I correct him "I hear you and that is all that matters, Keep it up and you are out of here, got it!?" He played with out saying it out loud again until he was out of chips.

Now lets make fun of a fellow dealer, a dealer who somewhat knows what he is doing, was even helping teach a newer dice dealer. So I got a player betting Horn High Yo, Yo hits and I look at the dealer and say "Pay it" (not telling him the payout as I normally do) And he starts to cut out some non-sense amount I snapped at him "Moron! Its $25" and then the payed player laughs asking "Did you just call him a Moron?" "yup, sure did.. he knows no harm meant." Same dealer at a later time I don't know what happened now but I Called him one of S's made-up works F^%#-tard (a stumbling on words when trying to call someone an F-ing Retard). And the dealer laughed but the player next to me (same one who heard me call him a moron) snapped in and said "hey we got in trouble for saying the F word here last night!" Then I lean to the player and give him the shoosh finger and whisper "don't tell anyone (coz now I am a hypocrite)!"

Well I know that there was more, and I know there was a whole table of full moon maniacs in S's day.

Spread the Chips

This morning was entertaining at the least. This morning also started with a minor head ache.

There is only 2 people at the craps table playing, well one not really playing and both look too drunk to be upright. One of which finally walks away. I started on stick and was going to go to the dead side, but the table went to half as we discovered the 4th of the crew called in sick. So i was forced to the side with the drunk guy. For starters he did not even look old enough to drink, that could just be a sign of my getting older, eeek! But then we had to repeatedly tell him "$10 per bet" and when he did put more than one chip down anywhere, he wouldn't stack them, he would spread them out ever-so slowly and neatly. We were laughing at him and mocking him when we set up his bets. It became hysterical.

Then when my co-worker was setting up his bets in a mockery, I laughed, then i reached the hook end of the stick over to one of his stacks and spread out the whole stack asking "Oh like this?" making a mess of about $400 in green chips!

He rapidly ran out of money and left, claiming he would be back. and then the table closed. He had no chance to come back and entertain us anymore.
