French people tried to kick me out of their club, Paris trip report

[bav]

You're coming to the US anyway? Shoulda just booked 3 days in Orlando while you're here and skipped the trip to Paris. You'll get the poker you want in Vegas, coulda gotten the REAL Disney experience in Orlando, and not had any Moulin Rouge regrets.

I failed to mention it in the OP, but she is not 18 quite yet so our options on what to do are somewhat limited.

Is this an alias account for Sklansky?

Hey buddy, I was kind of half joking - but I am glad you can use the opportunity for self examination. I understand your situation and you have received some excellent advice in this thread. Making sure to respect gambling and its place in your life is important, and can be difficult at times.

Best to you.

'Oft misunderstood or just bandwagon jumpin'....I've (Florida Cracker) been to Paris twice and had a great time each trip, wasn't once treated rudely, but I also spoke a bit of French, so that helped. Amazing what a little give and take will yield!

You showed up wearing expensive shoes and a dirty T-shirt...and you wonder why they "tried to kick you out of their club"?

Did you even inquire as to the dress code, or did you just assume that all you needed was nicer shoes?

They made an exception for you, and you post here as though they treated you poorly.

[/ QUOTE ] Obviously not. It was pretty clear why they tried to "kick me out" [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

and I was not treated badly except for by the cashier.

I don't think you were treated badly at all, even by the cashier. If anything you were given preferential treatment; they made an exception for you and allowed you into their club despite your clothes.

Add to your appearance that your credit card was rejected; would you expect the cashier to think you're a high roller or just some kid with nice shoes who somehow managed to get in? Cashier probably thought they were doing you a favor in helping you to save face. Maybe the cashier thought, literally, that you had already "lost your shirt"?

Off topic but Microbob, I am glad to see the length of your replys returning to their former stature. I felt cheated with your recent run two or three line replys.
