My thoughts...eh corporate jack wagons! Greed thats all! I don't buy the theft story, thats a different problem. I been a server and yes that theft happens, a server will split off drinks before the final sale and pocket the cash then start a new ticket with those split drinks and over and over have extra $50 at end of shift.Originally Posted by nighthawk66
But to punish a player, even a low roller is simply wrong and absurd. The amount of alcohol they get, they probably have so much of a discount that the actual cost of a bud light bottle is probably .50 cent. Playing $10 should warrant a "free drink." AND I don't want to hear they have to pay CW and bartenders as well. That is a different labor cost that I highly doubt is offset by slot play. I have sat at MGM bars and they demand $20 bet before they give you a drink. The problem is that I like to enjoy my drink at that moment as I'm spinning the reels. Not after the fact. Luckily, I talk shit with them and make them laugh or something and I get my drinks as I play. Although, I have seen them shoo away players trying to get a drink after a few min of playing. Don't make sense. At CET I had similar situations at the bar and I let them see me deposit a $20 and then low roll after I get my drink.....just to be a douche.
So yea I think that program is stupid. I shell out hundred or thousands and my logic is that I have gotten "retail" value of free drinks back so I basically paid to get myself drunk 100X over.
Too bad Mermaids is gone.....I'd have more beers than I carry in my lap and around the machines. They didn't have that stupid finish your drink before you get another rule....and if they did...well it was never enforced. God rest her soul! Thats all my rambling for now..I could fill up 20 pages on the subject.
