  • NSF and outstandings

    This woman came to my window didn't speak much english and wanted to write a check. The process is hard enough to explain when they can speak perfect English. She pointed to her check and made a pen motion. I tried to explain the application process and the needing of her social security number and all the other BS we have to go through. She seemed fine with it.

    We got the the last step (which now I am rethinking to be my first) where we look into a program that will tell if she has ever cashed a check anywhere in any casino regardless of town.

    Well, I get her name pulled up and she had a check for two thousand dollars and it wasn't updated until two years later when she finally paid it! At my casino we are trying to cut down on returned checks. We do not have telecheck (cuz they are morons!) and can't really verify if funds are there so we have this stupid process.

    Anyway, I disappeared into the back and showed my SV. He said NO. Good, we don't need another bounced check. If you bounce a check in my casino its thirty five dollars.

    I go out there and try to explain it to her. She becomes angry and demands a boss. I grab SV and he tries to explain it too. I don't think she really got it because she had that blank look on her face the entire time. Bottom line, no check would be cashed. She left...

    Now not ten mins later a man came into my window and wanted to cash a check. I looked at his ID and realized it was her husband. LOL So, I do the program that tells me if they are NSF'd (Non sufficient funds) or have outstandings. When I pulled that thing up I was like

    He had like over five thousand dollars in different casinos that were left unpaid. I ran back kind of and told SV what the husband was trying to pull. I went out there and explained since he had so many outstandings that a check was impossible. He must have known about them because he left with no arguments lol

    Come on we are not that stupid. We notice if you are spoused or not lol Hell, we watch so close we can tell you where you were ten mins ago. Nice try.

    You have the ability to pull up a vast information network regarding the history of checks, paid or unpaid. Yet you don't have telecheck. What. The. Fudge.

      Casinos talk to eachother more than people think. ESPECIALLY if they're owned by the same company. Here in Vegas almost every casino is owned by one of four groups and their executives all worked for one of the others in their careers.

      In Vegas it's not WHAT you know. It's WHO you know.

          I know we're idiots for not having telecheck. The company thinks it would cost too much YET it would save a lot more money because we have over seventy thousand dollars in bounced checks.

          But yeah, even if we are not affiliated with the other casinos we can still tell if a check was cashed there or not. You'd think they'd wise up and just spend the extra money to save money. But if it makes sense its not allowed.

            I do believe that is in the rule book handed to managers and SCs upon completing the "Make everybody's life hell" college course.

              I've heard that. And it makes sense that casinos, no matter how cutthroat they are in other matters, would have a vested interest in sharing information on scammers/cheaters/deadbeats.

                Surprised your casino isn't linked up to some sort of credit reporting service or instant verification. Even at Flowers O Suck I know immediately if the customer has sufficient funds to cover the check by phone or debit card they are giving us. The Mr and I used to own a tiny tourist trap country store for five years and even there I'd call the bank and ask if the check was good before accepting it. Code in the banking industry for 'dead beat' at that time was if the banking person told you that the account in question had 'a lot of activity' Translation, multiple bounced checks.

                I am always amused by the sputtering and spitting and bargaining by those without enough money in their account and no credit card. All the protestations of "Well, I never!" and "I have lots of money in that bank!" Yeah, right.

                  You have no idea. I feel like a junkie finally getting his fix

                  As far as people talking to eachother here, even the bars do it. If we kick you out of a bar, we'll call our friends at nearby bars to warn them they may be getting unwelcomed visitors.

                  Vegas is the Mecca for SCs. Especialy the EWs.

                  I'd rather work retail again. Seriously.
