last night at luton g cassino,a club i have been a member for for over 25 years the card room manager in reply to a comment from me announced to my poker table and any one else that was listening ...that i was the most ignorant person that he had ever met in the luton g cassino
i got up from my poker table and challenged along the lines of ...how dare he talk to me like that...and insisted that we go immediatley and get the senior cassino manager...around the corner we found the manager and i strongley protested that iwas not going to be spocken to like that in front of other club members...i stated that unless george appoligised to me in front of the people that he had slandered me to i would be leaveing this club and never crossing its door again....and they had 3 minutes to do it in
i then returned to my poker table ...george returne d to his work station and got on with his work.....after about 10 minutes i whent over and asked george if he was going to appoligise ...he replied no he wasnt...
i then caught the poker players attention by raising my voice and announcing the facts of me being insullted by george and him not being a big enouth man to appoligise ...i then left the card room as i got a few yards away around the corner i heard laughter and a spontsgouse ripple of applause ...either for me or ..more likley..some whits little comment against me being applouded
i took my entrey card folded it and dropped it of at the cash hatch ,telling the girl to please give it to the management to file....at the entrey i picked up my coat bid the girls that work there a good night ...they at least havnt lost sight of the fact that every one that enters is a customer...
on the scale of things its less than a speck of dust...so a member of staff holds a customer in such low regard that he decides its okay to say ...your the most ignorant person ive ever met...
the on duty manager dousent even enter the card room to intercede...presumeley hes asked george what happened ,and is he going to appoligise to which george has replied hes not going to appoligise....the onley grounds for him doing that would be if hes right ...and imam the most ignorrant person hes ever met ...and there fore by not makeing george appoligise he as the head repressentive of g cassinohas endorced that georges actions are all fine and in order
to all the poker players that it has been my privalage to know at luton i say thank you and good bye, maybe see you at dtd ect

Sorry to hear about this Tom. Fairly sure it was Nirvana that made a 'witty remark' when you left. I cringed. See you around.

Sounds harsh Tom..... Why did George say that to you? What happened to cause the initial statement from George?

Norrrrrrrrrrrrr, don't go Bernard. Always have liked sharing a table with you.
Wasn't there when it happened but would imagine it was Glenn who stuck the knife in. Don't take it imo.

really feeling the urge to make a sensible post but probably pretty pointless, so I'll just make this equally pointless post instead |

Did George give no reason for his outburst?

the initial words with george were me asking for the dealer on my table to be bumped as he was not very good...30 to 40 mins latter it was done i called out to george he ignored me ,i asked him why he wasnt answering he then stated the reason was ...that i was the most ignorant person he had ever met in luton g ...
he is then backed up by duty managers aggreement that he need not appologise ....i vote with my feet and take my 2 to 3 thousand pounds a year poker money else where
lesson learnt
take me out of your fantasy team,and sell any shares in luton g,

Shame it worked out like that.
Gotta feel a bit sorry for the dealer here too I suppose...

sigh can't help myself.
Tom. Some introspection might be a good idea here. I've seen George deal with many a 'difficult' character in that card room over the years. Imho he is even handed and shows immense patience. For him to have commented as he did I am presuming that you made a comment that could, quite reasonably, be regarded as 'ignorant' (although we cannot judge as you haven't told us what you actually said).
If I were in your shoes and someone said that to me, rather than kicking up a fuss and drawing attention to the whole thing as you did I would be questioning whether what I had said had, indeed, been out of order, and whether an apology was required of me to George and/or those present. I'm sure there were no snide remarks prompting the laughter and ripple of applause you described - it sounds like you put on enough of a show yourself to prompt that reaction.
If we don't see you at the G again, good luck.
