    Regular to the rescue!!

    Today was very busy at the Casino. We were fully staffed in the cage, but our group doing card sign-ups was down to 2 between the Burning Stomach of Death still circulating our staff and a promo going on. So, me being nice, I volunteered to go over and help them. I was scheduled until 7:30, but told management I could wait until 8 to start counting out since Fiance doesn't get off work until 8:15-9pm and has to drive 15 minutes to come get me. Count out takes about 20 minutes then about 10 to get outside to him. Perfect right?

    Well 7:55 rolls around and we are still slammed. So I text Fiance between patrons and find out he will NOT be out at 8:15. I tell him to text me when he does get out and tell the people I'm helping I can stay until he texts. At 8:35 (over an hour since I should have been off the clock and already 30 mins past when I said I could stay until) I get said text. I finish my patron, log out of the system, apologize profusely to the people I'm abandoning (and promise to try to send help) and head back to the cage as I still have yet to count out my till.

    The Players:
    Me: In serious need of a strong beverage
    AH: Asshat who doesn't understand how Friday night = busy
    X: Awesome semi-regular whose name I do not know

    AH: (As loudly as he can without screaming) Where does she think she's going? Can't she see this line?
    Me: (probably sounding more aggravated than I should have) Sir, I was scheduled off over an hour ago and the line doesn't show any signs of stopping. I just can't stay any longer. I'm sorry.
    AH: You mean won't stay any longer. You're just lazy.
    X: (4 places up from AH in the line with some other people) Yo, man, what would you do if your boss told you to stay over an hour late at work on a Friday night?
    AH: I'd tell him to go to hell!
    X: Well, then, GO TO HELL! Shut up and be patient. Let the poor girl go home and sleep. She work's DAY shift jackass!

    I really have no clue if Asshat said anything else as I rounded the corner at that point. The next time I see X, he is getting a huge thank-you and handshake. And 5 bucks free slot play if my managers will let me. I don't think I would have gotten out alive tonight if it weren't for him.

    Hahaha! X is awesome! He pretty much said verbatim what every employee wishes they could say when someone demands they stay later just to help them.

    "What would you say if someone demanded you stay late at work?"
    "I tell them go to hell!"
    "THEN GO TO HELL!"

          I also like how X essentially made AH say it himself.

          And kudos to you C_S for helping out your fellow employees. (And love the "Burning Stomach of Death" phrase!)

              If there was a CS wall of heroes, X would be right up on top. Loved how AH hammered the nail on his coffin with his "...go to hell," response.

                4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                  Awesome regular! So your cage makes you do player cards as well?? Yikes. That's a lot of work to put on you guys....

                  My casino is all about; NO over time! If we're over or short we can't even look for it cuz we have to be out on time. Ugh I hate the casino crud. It's hard not to pass sicknesses around since you're in such close quarters. I hope they feel better.

                    I'm just surprised AssHat didn't see that one coming.

                    And if Samuel Jackson... then he'd also be throwing some MFing snakes at the MFing AssHat too.

                      Right before he's reading them a bedtime story and telling them to GO THE F*)%K TO SLEEP!

                      Now that would be EPIC.

                        This is now my new favorite "pwn" word. Right up there with PWNADE(TM) and PWNZER.

                        We need a cool definition for it, though.

                          I love that book. Samuel L's recording was pretty good but there was another version done here in Aus by an ex presenter from Playschool that was just brilliant.

                            The alternative, if it's doable in your workplace, is to have his next drink be on the house/on you.

                            Brilliant! And I was going to amend that, until Chanlin beat me to the punch:

                            But honestly, it would probably be more like this:

                            X: Yo, man, what would YOU do if your boss told you to stay over an hour late at work on a Friday night?
                            AH: I'd tell him to go to hell!
                            X: Well then, GO TO HELL, mothefucker! Shut the fuck up and be patient. Let the poor girl go the fuck home and get some motherfucking sleep. She works the fucking DAY shift, jackass!

                            Yeah, that looks about right for Samuel L.
