Definitely not boy, I told her they call me son or by my name. She also tries to tell me she called me boy because I'm so young which is just not accurate. I'm 31 that aint that young the reality is she called boy because of my diminutive stature. She then asks if I want her to call me 'sir' and the way she asked sounded almost as if she was ridiculing me for thinking I'm a big boy. It was strange. I told her yeah you can call me sir or you can call me by my name, Richard.
I mean I'd be irritated by a waitress calling me 'boy' too but I wouldn't go the route of pulling her aside later to argue with her. I'd just straight tell her 'don't call me boy' there and then. You don't need to justify it by telling her your age. I mean it's well known that's rude in the US right?

Well, you did create a thread challenging a man to a fight because he called you “wee” and pulled a waitress to the side to chastise her for calling you boy when you could have just as easily ignored it...

The waitress thing is hilarious. I love that this dude thought calling her out on it was a good move.

I bet the whole staff had a great laugh at you once you left and she told all her coworkers what you did.

I doubt it. It was rude of her to call me "boy" and if she wants to relate a story of her calling a 31 year old man a boy and then that man correcting her that's her perogative. Coworkers are going to laugh at her for calling me a boy. I only called her out on it because she called me "boy" once before and I didn't want her doing it again.

I guarantee they laughed at you.

Probably made jokes about how you left a... little tip, tried to... short change her, and then to top it all off you spilled on your high chair.

I've been in enough work situations to know that people will chat about everything behind your back. Not in a malicious way, but more of a light-hearted gossip type way.

But at the end of the day, you're the customer so you have every right to complain if you feel you're not being treated right. I think you did the right thing by telling her.

congrats, you are now known to the entire staff as "the boy"

+1 to what someone above said, easiest way to handle it imo is just to say "please dont call me boy, i dont like it" after she said it to you.

you made too big of a deal about it

I just saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom with my mommy. Had a fun time and the movie was good. Now I'm off to go to the casino like a big boy. Hope I win!

Yeah anyway I didn't exactly describe the situation correctly. By pull her aside I meant I just told her after she brought my food. I didn't even get up out of my seat I just kind of said it quietly.

Bad Call

Hero MP (~$500) ATos
Mohamed BB (covers) 54os - same angleshooter from a few days ago.

Hero opens to 25 and Mohamed calls.

Flop ($50) T63r

Mohamed checks dark Hero bets 30 Mohamed calls.

Turn ($110) Ar

Mohamed checks Hero bets 60 Mohamed calls.

River ($230) 2

Mohamed checks and Hero bets 120 Mohamed raises to 260. Pretty sure I'm beat here and I know I need to fold but pay it off anyway. Not playing well.

Firing Duds

Hero UTG+2 (covers) K9ss
Villain MP (~$500) AsAc - tight middle age asian reg hasn't played a hand just sitting there on his phone.

Hero opens to 20 when he should just fold. I'm not in a good mindset. Villain smooths the 20 which is a really good move imo since any 3bet is going to draw a lot of suspicion and it looks like I'm going to blast off, I've gone all-in twice in the last 20 mins or so without getting called. Button calls and one of the blinds call.

Flop ($80) QsTc7s

Blind checks and we check, villain bets 45 and everyone folds to me. We should just call here because we could be dominated by the nut flush draw as well as not having very much fold equity. That being said we decide to blast off with gutshot and flush draw.

Turn ($1080) brick
River($1080) brick

Results 6/23: -$830

I did not play well yesterday and that's why I lost.

Wow, what an absolutely terrible way to handle the waitress situation, allow me to paint an alternate scenario; she calls you boy and you put on your best ryan gosling face and say "hey girl" to which she giggles. The two of your establish this report and it becomes y'all's little thing. You even follow up on occasion with a little spice saying you're probably old enough to be her daddy, and that she'd probably like that. As the days and weeks go on she sees daddy fat stacks at the tables cleaning house. You tip her a Redbird minimum with every order, she's always prioritizing you over other players. If you're truly ugly then one day she is reminded of your face when thinking about who she can hook her "ugly" friend up with, who let's face it is probably a solid 7 at worst. Or maybe she gets drunk enough at a party that you managed to get invited to because you've got game and are on everyone's good side and she says **** it and decides to make out with you out of curiosity to see if she'd be willing to **** a scrawny poker baller or not. Maybe things go your way maybe they don't, but I promise having a ****y attitude in life will never provide an edge in anything.

Sir, you almost convinced me that this Rich vs Gazzy thing was serious, but after reading this I´m pretty sure you´re just trying to bring attention to your thread. Nice job.

Of course. He previously brought up the fight and Gazzy declined.

He knew full well he would never accept the fight, and why would he? There's nothing for Gazzy to gain from accepting, can't just fight every person who gets upset on the internet.

Uhhh why do you assume I want to bang the waitress? It was just a miscommunication and a language thing. She's Chinese and I don't think she realized calling someone boy is offensive. Why not just call me sir? I don't call women girls, I'm not stupid. Not that stupid at least. And I didn't have a ****ty attitude about it I just pointed out to her that I'm a 31 year old man and not a boy.

Guess what? Given a choice I'd do it the exact same way.

Hows it going Rich? Definitely a "choose your battles" situation with the waitress imo. I size up the AT and probably fold too. K9s is interesting. Do you just check shove your value hands too?
