Meeting with David Sklansky

[asdtexas]

I do not want to start a RGP like controversy, but have decided to post this after some careful thought.

I was in Las Vegas on business 10 days ago and stopped at the Bellagio to play poker. When I arrived I saw David Sklansky. He was at the counter in the back purchasing chips and was by himself. I asked him if his name was David and he nodded. I told him that I have read all of his books and enjoyed them very much. He said "Oh" and walked away. I still can't believe how rude he acted.

By way of background, I am the CEO of a company which employs about 350 people. Last week I convened a meeting to discuss customer relations. Particular stress was placed on having our supervisors monitor customer interaction with our employees. If anything like this ever happens, I will terminate the employee. In fact, if my employees treat the people who work for them in a condescending and rude manner, we will take action.

If poker teaches life lessons, I learned one at the Bellagio.
