Several and It

It seems to me that at least at this Santa Fe, NM casino, there are a lot of under-trained dealers and a lot with bad habits.

Lets start with "Several"...

Every time certain dealers need to specify Seven dollars, whether it be exactly seven dollars or Twenty Seven Dollars, they Refuse to say "Seven" and replace the word with "Several"
For example fellow on my side has a 3-dollar hard 6, which rolls, and these dealer will say:

Pay twenty-several dollars to you're third.

WTF?!?!?!?

On to "IS"...

What IS? The point is the only thing that IS! Not to these weirdos!
Let's say a player throws in a red chip ($5 Value) and asks for all of the hard ways 1 dollar each.
The player is due $1 change now. So this stick person will repeat the bet, set up the bed and direct this statement to me:

One is, to you your first.

Still, I have the same response WTF?!?!?!?!?!

These dealers make me twitch!

One more pet peeve, Slamming the stick.
There is one very particular dealer who does this on many occasions.
For instance, after the dice roll, as soon as they settle and he is about to call them, he smacks the stick onto the table.
Another instance, when he's about to say "One is, to your first." he smacks the stick down right in front of the player due one-dollar change.

This is discourteous and rude, not to mention annoying - and this one I have brought up to a box person or 2, who i dont think has brought it up. This is just as bad as slamming chips down on the table, payoffs should not ever make a noise!


I know for a long time i moaned n groaned about players, but now its these dealers...
I might even come back and bitch a little about some of the supervisors too, not yet tho!
