sparks, i hope you learned your lesson

This has all worked out fine for me, just as I expected. I see no lesson to be learned. What do you mean? Oh let me guess...stealing is bad. Thanks, heard it already, not biting. Several children have already made that argument.

Casinos are very much like porn-peddlers or tobacco/liquor companies. They make profits off of exploiting/encouraging the worst of human nature.

One could argue poker players fall under that umbrella... :-)

I was a bank teller for over a year.

For being $100 short, that chip runner/cashier/whomever was probably placed on a final warning, if not fired outright.

We tellers were allowed more of a margin before getting outright fired, but we dealt with a lot of non-trash transactions too. Keying in the wrong amount on deposited checks, etc were all counted against us. Once it got to a certain point, there were warnings and firings. If $100 cash turned up missing though, it'd probably be a final warning.

This thread is a disgrace. I tried yet again, in vain, to find intelligence on 2+2. It's here somewhere, I know, but I just can't tap it in any of my threads.

So, I was back at the casino and learned several things from by buddies who work there.

1. Benoit's previous post has it just about right on how the money is tracked in a casino.
2. The chip runner was in fact short $100 that night and brought it to the floorman's attention.
3. The chip runner "made the money up" in a fascinating way, breaking even for the night! Wow!

This pathetic thread and its respondents do not deserve to know the details. My apologies for all who had to suffer through this pile-of-crap-thread.

I'm out.

Insulting those who choose comment on a topic you invited them to comment on ("And of course feel free to comment on my principles." followed by [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) is really unbecoming.

Ok, I understand if a chip runner or waitress screws up they keep track of their sales so they know exactly how much in sales they owe. However, how about a dealer at a table game? How exactly would the casino keep track of every bet each dealer gives out? Many times dealers make errors in payouts especially in games such as 3 card poker where there math is necessary to figure the payouts. I don't see how they can track the problem if a dealer accidently gave out $500 on a payout because the pit bosses cannot be on top of every bet every hand. So it seems unlikely the casino can track every single payout that should be payed compared to what is actually payed out.

Sparks, I don't blame you ... I would have walked out with it to... and I really think alot of these guys trying to jump on your case about it , would have as well.

I think that's a horrendously dumb assumption.

the chip runner will most definetly pay the $100 out of his pocket. its probably a college kid trying to make enough money to eat something other than top ramen. but if you're lucky, maybe it was a woman with 3 kids working her second job at night. hopefully, her husband drinks his paycheck every night and beats her regularly and the only way her kids eat between their beatings is if she brings home 2 paychecks. but that's only wishful thinking. now, if i were to have met you that night, and you would have told me that, i would have collapsed your eye socket. maybe both.

as a sidebar, you are a piece of sh.it. you should strongly consider suicide.

While I agree it's stealing and would give it back, I don't understand the defense of the chip runner. The argument "he might get fired if you don't give it back" is so flawed. The dismissable offense isn't that the customer didn't give back the extra $100, it's that CAN'T COUNT AND DIDN'T DOUBLE CHECK THE ONE AND ONLY THING HIS JOB REQUIRES HIM TO DO.
