I'm rich, I own you

[Anakah]

Now, I've been with this company for eight months. I know most of the high rollers on sight. Evidentally not this one...

SC: I need to pay off two markers.

Me: Okay.

SC: I want to go into VIP. I'm number eight.

What the hell does number eight mean?? I thought maybe a deposit box number or something but she wouldn't know that... I was really confused as to why she'd need to go to the VIP to pay off a Marker.

SC: *whispers* I'm paying off 40,000.

Me: oooh. I'll buzz you right in.

OOOH! That's why. That does explain it. She seemed shocked that I didn't acknowledge that her transaction was going to be huge. Or who she was.

I got my supervisor and he took care of it. Thank god.

Later I find out that the number eight thing was referring to that she was the 8th person to have gotten a players card when the casino (the previous casino before it was bought out and they let her keep it) first opened.

Now, this woman is rich, doesn't tip and expects the world to bend to her every wish. I found this out in a weird way. I was talking to my co-worker about her and it turns out the casino used to wash her car for her. Someone from Valet would take her car to a car wash and have it cleaned. WHY the hell should a casino be doing that!?

Well, everytime they took her car to get cleaned something would break in it. The casino themselves fixed her car!!! It wasn't their fault that her car was falling apart. Finally after having too many problems with her car breaking down, they decided that cleaning it wasn't the best thing to do.

So, instead they just fill her tank up! I understand she is a good customer or whatever but hot damn, a casino is not like a servant. Comping rooms is understandable, filling up someone's car and washing it, is not. This just made me really mad.

While she's on her machines she has to have a slot attendant stand there and wait on her hand and foot. If any of her bills are crinkled she'll drop them on the floor and make the slots person pick it up and give her a straight bill. Here, doggy! I think that is pretty sick. She can't just hand it to them?

She has to have all straight bills. If someone was doing a large pay out to her in hundreds, they'd all have to be perfect, straight bills. Hello!? Not all bills are good. It's hard to find good money.

Her line is only 50,000. I've seen people with bigger lines. Why does she get princess treatment? I guess maybe I just wish I had that much money to be blowing around. But if I did I wouldn't treat everybody like scum.

Sorry for the ignorance, but what does "pay off markers" mean?

[Banrion]

Markers are lines of credit given out by the casino. So this woman was there to pay back $40k that the casino had loaned to her.

[Canarr]

Damn - nice to have that kind of money to gamble away. Thanks for the info.

Damn - nice to have that kind of money to gamble away. Thanks for the info.

I was thinking the same thing. It must be nice to be able to throw that much cash away...since that's *much* more than I make a year!

[Becks]

That's much more than I make in a year, too. I want to be rich. I'd be nice about it, too.

[RogueOne]

I would LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEE to be rich. I hope I would be as nice or nicer than I am now.

[dougall]

Well if she starts losing 40 grand at a time I am not surprised the casino is nice to her.

[Getoutofmylobby]

You know, it is possible that with a gambling addiction or by a combination of circumstances she could go completely broke.

As terrible as it is to wish this on another person, if she has looked down on people her whole life, it would be poetic justice for her to become poor. That would be one hell of a rude awakening.

And if I were rich, i expect i'd act alot like Mr Deeds.

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

I don't care how rich I got, I can't see gambling thousands of dollars away just because.
It's obscene.
It's her money and she can do whatever the hell she wants with it, but imagine what that money could do for people who were less fortunate.
I hate to get on the soapbox, but it's just sad, sick, and wrong to piss away more money than most people see in a year of long hours and hard work.

[ArenaBoy]

This woman sounds like the customers I get at the arena. High rolling, in fact I think she may have been one of my SCs. She forgot her pass for these suites known as the mafia suites (The company has a mob sounding name and it's changed for obvious reasons.) Anyway, she forgot her pass and policy is not to let anyone without a pass in.

"Do you know how much my husband's company pays for these suites buddy?!" She was screaming this at me after much arguing and explaining of the rules.
"Between $350 to $450 thousand a year ma'am. A pass is needed and I am afraid I cannot let you in." Ended it with just a polite tone. She was in pure shock, that me a lowly arena slave knew that.


Yes these mafia suites cost that much a year, they are very nice and elegant though. Scary thing is, those suites sold out.

[RogueOne]

"Between $350 to $450 thousand a year ma'am.

Wow, if I could spend that much on something like that PER YEAR, I'd spend it on Make-A Wish or something else worthwhile.

[ArenaBoy]

I am putting up pics of these suites, it's crazy though. That much just for an overpriced giant living room and you don't even get a view of the actual event taking place. The point of those is to entertain clients which kind of irks me because I think eventually the general fanbase of my basketball team will be 95% yuppies if the team keeps doing well.

Well investing in art is hardly the same thing

but you should see some of our "high rollers" one of them is a very well known artist who gave us a studio....

she spent nearly 5 grand at the art auction, buys stuff from the store all the time...practically invites herself into the executive directors office any time she pleases....

and suprisingly is one of the coolest woman around, at least to me....the other staff dont like her much.

Ive never wanted to be rich, I always saw longing for someone elses life as a complete and utter waste of time....



I want to be FILTHY RICH!!!!!!!

hey if im going to waste my life, might as well do it in complete fantasy.... now wheres my unicorn?

[Anakah]

Holy crap that living room is bigger than my whole apartment! Man, I wish I was rich too lol
