If you're cool with pulling one over on the casino, I guess the next step is an actual heist.

lol? you're a moran if not levelling.

lol back at you for message board lingo with 242 posts. It's almost like you're one of the gang now!

Also, I am halfway leveling. I believe it is dishonest to rip off an institution, even a dishonest one. Integrity is a rare quality and it doesn't make much sense to sell it for a hundred dollars, much less to brag about it. At the same time, I would like to see an "Ahnuld's Thirteen" photoshop.

this sort of thing costs people their job.

WTF sort of country do you folks live in that allows the employer to hold employees financially responsible for a miscount?

Here in Australia, it is illegal for employers to make those sort of rules. Someone paid a few dollars an hour is going to make a mistake, and that's a cost of business.

The employee shouldn't be made liable to pay it back - otherwise it would be necessary to have credit checks on your employees who handle large amounts of money (since they'd be supposedly liable if they miscounted a few k or something)

The best situation ofcourse would be to have the *freedom* to create your own contracts and let the market sort itself out. Making certain contractual arrangements illegal is not good.

As evidenced by the number of contracts that allow the cashier to keep the balance when the till is in surplus, the relationship between people in these jobs and those employing them is not evenly balanced.

Coming from someone who used to work in a casino (Winstar)

If a dealer comes up short in the chip tray, they pay it with their tips

If a banker comes up short in their bank, it comes out of their own pocket

What does that have to do with anything?


If employers create bad contracts then the market will punish the organization. But only if the market is allowed to operate. Restricting contracts is good for no party.


How would you feel if I were to 1. try to gain the power to enforce my own subjective set of contract restrictions on others and 2. enforce them ? I would be viewed as a criminal who gets in other people's ways.

I never personally came up short, but I had friends who did.

Yup, illegal to have an employee pay for a mistake.
Probably even illegal to fire him for that.

We have fun laws here in Quebec.
And incredibly powerful unions.

alright, spoke to the casino. Told them the situation and that I didnt realize until I went home and counted the money in my wallet. Told them I dont want the cashier getting in trouble, but I can only bring it back tomorrow. Luckily I remember the time I cashed out and which cage it was so they can tell at the end of the day by whichever of the 3 counts is off by 100. Gave them my name and address, told them id be by tomorrow and meet with a manager and take care of it. So well see what happens

sick... my respect for you just skyrocketed fwiw

i like to think in your spot id play it the same
