This is why I took Tuesday night off. Going out to see a show

For much of the last week I was following a rather androgynous looking dealer and dreaded hearing the sexual identity speculation as I pushed into each table. As the election drew closer, however, I became happy to hear ANYTHING other than election talk.

I'm so glad I'm not working tonight.

Tonight I got offered a $20 tip if I could guess what a player sold for a living in a game of 20 questions.

I got it in 17.

Spoiler:
It was quilts.

Sadly I incorrectly thought I could check my email and someone told me the results..... I am so disappointed I really wished to go longer without knowing.

Insane to think you could go online and pull that off.

I stayed away from the web. The guy who did is someone I rarely hear from and it was a throw line as he asked me for a favor.

I have worked for a couple rooms which restricted news viewing on tvs. I was so happy that was the case last night while I was at work.

I was off election night, but when I came in the next night, every TV in the room was on various news channels. I thought we all couldn't wait for this election to be over???? Now that it is, who's asking to see this???

I pushed into my first table, and immediately called the floor over and asked, "Can we put Thursday Night Football on TV over here?"

When he pointed out that today is Wednesday, I replied, "I don't care! I'll wait!"

I know that Tioga downs, del Lago and Rivers casino in Schenectady have jobs posted on the websites. I thnk rivers is supposed to open in february. The other two I think either sooner or not long after that. Mont Reign in the catskills seems to not be close to opening and the employment section of the website just is a sign up for emails.

I was hoping someone here may have inside info.

Speaking of elections...i'd love some advice from you more experienced folks.

I work in a smaller room, with lots of regs, and I am the only female dealer on swing shift (we only have 3 total, anyway). The players and dealers have a friendly relationship, we aren't super-serious, stonefaced robots...our regs like that we talk to them, etc. It's not a grinder's room.

no politarding here, but the results of the election has emboldened some of our players, who now think everyone wants to hear their racist/sexist/anti-semitic jokes and comments.

I know the traditional answer is to shut up and deal, but it's obvious some of the other players (and myself) are disgusted and/or offended by this, but don't want to upset the cart, so to speak, so they say nothing. Is there a line where I might be right to shut it down? I try changing the subject, but subtlety and deflection are not my fortes. I also know that most of these guys would probably stop (at least when i'm in the box) if they knew I was offended by their crap, because they've known me for so long and like/respect me.

I'm trying to balance my need to confront issues head on with the "please the guest" aspect of a service job.

First thing is stop pretending that this has anything to do with an election. Personally I think people need to be more thick skinned. But I'm sure your HR departent doesnt. So if it's an issue for you speak to your management.

Almost everything is political. "Man its bs that they outlawed online poker." Is a political statement.

So it's posted for all those who enter to review? And the dealers just stop dealing to a player who violates as a penalty?

Seems like a super slippery slope to me. We got into a pretty deep conversation post-election and finally stepped in and said that 'the table' had until the button crossed the dealer one more time to get through this and move onto another subject since it was slowing the game down.

Although rooms are public you certainly can have your own set of rules, but I've seen some UofM v MSU v OSU conversations that needed some 'banning' more than any political banter.

Personally I love it when the table goes 'off the reservation' since it gives me more opportunities to steal pots and physical tells when someone involved in the conversation suddenly shuts up to play a hand more closely. GL
