Wow, I'm getting angry just typing this. Does anybody know of a good-paying job for a lazy, non-college-graduate who sucks at selling things and refuses to wear a suit? Yeah, I didn't think so.

You could deal Blackjack.

I do agree with you. However in the case of the OP we don't know if the floor doesn't know the rules or was just throwing out an answer to get this guy to leave. Floorpeople who answer player's hypothetical questions are just asking for trouble. Why because the player is going to go and try to cause the hypothetical to happen, but when the floor gets to the table he may find the situation to be different than the hypothetical and rule differently.
