Nick,
yes you are absolutely 100% correct AND you make a lot of sense almost all of the time.
I normally do not do this, because I could get in a lot of trouble for this, but I am semi-retired, so thus, sort-of-invincible BUT
we had to fire a floorman within the last three months...
he "took" by "mistake" $7.00 and the camera and security caught him.
They normally handle anywhere $100,000 to $250,000 on No Limit nights.
His answer: " It was only $7.00. I did not think it hurt once in a while."
I was the manager on duty and had to make a quick decision( it happened during the change of shifts - thus I had to decide quickly): eat it and write out ANOTHER petty cash marker OR turn it in to the Owners and let the chips fall where they may. I had kindly "warned" the younger lad about this before. But I guess he cannot accept my semi-retired role and my "advisory" capacity. The Owners fired him. Over $7.00.
So it is 'OK' to break the rules once in a while and post OT in Comics General. Not one poster, no one has yet to come forward and tell me anythig about the shill-chasing stemming from the "OT Fiancee left me boo hoo " thread. Not one. Flamed? Of course. The flamers are somewhere online, out of reach.
had the shill not chased me( again) a lot of the garbage on the Boards would have NEVER appeared.
Let it go? Of course - I have to.
But I can dream, can't I???
good night.
