I have what can only be considered a horror story from today. I was playing $5 blackjack, and a girl who hadn't played before asked what she should do in a hand. The dealer (who I will not name out of respect for his/her job) was no help, so I gave her advice. Suddenly, said dealer accuses me of "telling my players what to do."
There are a plethora of issues with that statement. For one, I did NOT tell my fellow player what to do. She asked for advice, the dealer refused to give her any, and I helped her by explaining a particular aspect of basic blackjack strategy, as thousands of low-limit blackjack players do every single day across the country in casinos like this one. Secondly, since when do blackjack players belong to a dealer? I object heavily to the insinuation that I, or anyone else at the table, belonged to the dealer in any capacity. Thirdly, it's a $5 table, and a friendly one, not some high-roller table in the back. Relax, for crying out loud. Dealers are supposed to promote a good gambling atmosphere where guests have fun, and this one went out of his/her way to destroy said atmosphere.
I left New York New York today for the last time and will not wager any of my money there again. There are other places in town that actually put a priority on their guests having good experiences. I'll be spending my money at THOSE places from this point forward.
