Complaining about the rake and getting told on by dealers......

[kailua]

You didn’t stop and think….you screwed up…..it sounds as if you learned from it.
Give yourself a break, let it go and move on. When you improve your life situation you’ll probably look back with only a slight cringe as you chuckle about it.

fwiw….some new employees try overly hard to verbally impress, while others work diligently and keep their mouths shut except to ask questions until they gain a better sense of what’s what. The second type tend to succeed.

You would be correct.

You're dreaming.

Let's see.
You complained about the rake,
accused dealers of over raking,
stiffed the dealers.

Making a real good impression on hopeful future co-workers?
And chasing customers away? Nice move.

Next time you play there try throwing cards at the dealers.

playin 2/4 trying to suck up and impress, but instead annoying dealers and staff = BUSTO!!!!

Hate to say it, but...

There is an old adage- "Don't drink from the cup that you peed into."

You have pissed away your chance to get hired from there. Time to apply elsewhere & learn from the mistakes made.

Good luck.

All this pettiness probably has something to do with the fact that I'm extremely broke from not being able to find work, was playing with money I shouldn't have been playing with, and am probably overall unhappy about the position in life I'm in.

I'm probably not gonna be too popular here saying this, but isn't Vegas like the easiest place in the world to find a job....and aren't a great deal of those jobs better paying than dealing cards? And anyway, isn't poker dealing like one of the most competetive job openings there is, only to get much worse in the next few years?

I mean really, if like sucks so bad that its a strain to play $2-4 LHE, shouldn't you do anything it takes to make money....two jobs or whatever?

There are more minimum wage jobs per capita in this city than any other that I'm aware of. Yes, there are tips involved, and none of that is a guarantee. Btw, the joint I work at had 2 extra board jobs open, we had over 1000 applications, and about 100 auditions. Those dealers get 1-3 days a week depending on how often they're called in to deal. It's not the mecca of dealing jobs everyone thinks there is. The farthest applications actually came from a few Asian countries and England/Sweeden. Most from the US and from most states as well.

I applied for a job as a waiter at this restaurant. I decided to eat there several times a week to show them what a stand up guy I was. While there I complained about the food and the service. I told the other customers they watered down the drinks, charged too much, padded the bill and that the restaurant down the road was much better overall.

Oh, I've been out of work for a while now and probably shouldn't have been eating out and putting it all on my credit card. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Hope the call me soon.

this thread needs a rickroll to add to the leveling factor

Anyway, in you people's opinion, how bad is doing what I did? I didn't really feel like I was doing anything wrong, but I got SIXXXXXX complaints in like 3 days....so the whole room doesn't like me......and I feel pretty sick and stupid right now.

I didn't see where the manager said it was dealer complaints. It very well could have been other players thinking you were a douche and spoke up to the floor as well. Don't jump to conclusions. And honestly, if I had a potential employee in my room doing what you were doing, I'd probably speak to the manager in charge of hiring just to give an opinion. I'd do the same thing if you were a stand up guy as well and I was aware you were looking for a job in my room.
