Short story....
Standing in line at El Cortez restaurant last nite about 7pm local time......
My friend Dave is diabetic.....the lines at their restaurant move at a glaciers pace, even though you see 5-6 empty booths,tables....
Dave suddenly asks me for a piece of candy, he is having a diabetic episode and he left his glucose tablets in the hotel.
Not having candy, I said I will get ice cream from the restaurant.
I explain the serious medical situation and it takes them ten minutes of conversation to get me ice cream...(I finally walked into the kitchen area to find out WTF was going on; to expedite it)
I run the ice cream to Dave..
I thank the cashier for her help.
"I need to charge you for that ice cream"
I said "WHAT?"
"It is a medical emergency and you want money?
Finally I said Ok just add it too my dinner tab.."
"NO SIR....you need to pay for the ice cream NOW"
I GO BALLISTIC....give her a hundred for $2.70
"WHO IS YOUR MANAGER?"
All this time I have the attention of the entire restaurant....
Some airhead "manager" asks what the problem is....
I repeat the entire episode complete with F bombs..
Keep in mind we with others are STILL waiting for a table, even though we plainly see many empty..
Finally I get a lame apology and "I will refund the $2.70"
I say, WTF has happened to Vegas...why would I want to gamble here or even recommend El Cortez to anyone back home?
In my mind I am thinking, "And I am looking at buying a home here?"
I asked her to pick up dinner for the insult, stress, emabarrasment...
"I do not have that authority sir...."
I reply..."Exactly what do you do where you manage and can not authorize a free BLT?"
NO answer, just blank look....
Vegas is micro- managed by buffoons....
Bring back the mob....:0008
Dave did hit a Natural Royal at Pai-gow that paid him 625 on his $5.00 bonus chip..
Dee the floor person, compted us a meal after 6hours table play..
