Where's the Teller?

[Anakah]

Again, I am not a bank, I am a casino cashier. This comes later.

This man walks up with a check from another casino (like two casinos away from ours) wondering if we'd cash it here. I grabbed the check and tried to see if it was in our system. Wonderful, it was. Unfortunately at our casino you have to have atleast three months of play and with good amounts.

Me: Do you have a players card?

SC: No. But I could get one.

Me: Unfortunately it won't help. You'd need three months worth of play.

This is because the casino isn't a bank and want the people to spend their cash here.

Me: Have you tried going to ___ Casino? (Where the check was issued from)

SC: No. Look just give it back to me if you can't do it.

He grabbed it, snarled and walked away to his woman.

The way he did it was like eeek.

He grabbed his woman and yelled at me:

"Where's the teller?!"

Me: What??

It took me a few to figure out what he meant.

Me: Ooh you mean an ATM? Yeah... It's right there.

Two feet infront of him.

I've never heard an ATM called a teller. Made me think of a bank teller. This one is pretty mild compared to my others but the teller reference had me laughing for awhile.

So he left the Casino from which he got the check from and walks into yours to have it cashed O_o Seriously what's wrong with people?


Yay my first emoticon.

Casino go-ers as a whole frighten me. It's fun to watch people win and get excited about it, but leaving the casino in Niagara Falls a few days ago a friend pointed out a woman who had her head in her hands and looked like she was sobbing.
I couldn't help but assume it had to do with a massive money loss.
People get so nuts in those places, and it pains me to watch them essentially throw their lives away on chance, and odds that are heavily against them.
I bet $5 on the blackjack machine and I was more than happy to stop there. I was even going to just give up after I had won my $5 back, but I didn't want to wait in the long cashier line for such a small amount.
At the time I was not aware of the ticket redemption machines. Oh well, at least my future kids still have a future college fund and mommy didn't try to double it on the craps table.

And what the hell is with War being a table casino game now? Seriously. War.
What's next, high stakes Go Fish? Sheesh.

While I've grown to call them ATMs, when they first were becoming popular, the area I lived in called them Automated Teller Machines, and the card was a Money Access Card (Or MAC card), so we just called them Mac Machines.

How old was the man? Late 30s at the youngest?

From Google definitions: Automated Teller Machine. An unmanned electronic device that performs basic teller functions, such as accepting deposits, cash withdrawals, and account balance inquiries.

Where's the Penn?


I get customers asking "where's the ATM machine?" all the time. I tell them where the ATM is, because we don't have an Automatic Teller Machine Machine.

I'd give it a shot, myself.

Actually, that's part of the point - they picked up War as a casino game, because you think you know how to play it, because pretty much every kid learns how to play it. But trying to play it the way you'd play War at home is a good way to lose. It's not exactly the same.

War in a casino?
That reminds me of National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation.
The casino had rock, paper, scissors and what number am I thinking of as games.

2 weeks ago I went to our nearby casino and spent an hour just playing $1.00 on the penny slots. I can see how someone would get hooked on such a thing.
When you go to a casino you have to go with the mindset that you're going there just to have fun. Cause if you go there expecting to win millions of dollars then you are going to go home broke & with your tail between your legs.

I always go to a casino with the attitude that I'm going win millions of dollars, and that I'm going have a good time not doing it.

Oh my God, I was just thinking that same thing.

Back in the late 70s when the ATM first came out, there were TV commercials calling it the "Ugly Teller". I've heard some older folks still call it that.

Um, is this a bad time to mention the national Rock, Paper, Scissors Championships? They have cash prizes, and it has been held in Vegas the last few years.
