I mean really bully and badger in an ominous way.įinally a young woman showed up saying she was a supervisor. The tough guard replied that he had 'already radioed for back-up', but continued to badger my guest. NOW! I, in turn, insisted on a manager coming immediately. He insisted - Gestapo fashion - that this bewildered and rather small, older and highly educated Chinese visitor erase ALL photos from his camera. Standing at the front desk, going through a bureaucratic process, we were attacked (yup, that's the word) from the rear by a zealous 'guard' who has obviously watched too much tough guy television. The whole thing was disorganized and sloooooow. However, my guest said he wanted to know how the machines worked and I began the process of signing up for a player's card just to show him. The place is pretty tatty and cheap looking, not very clean either, and we started to leave. My guest put his camera away immediately, looked puzzled and asked me why. Someone rushed forward to say to us that pictures were not allowed. Once inside he looked around and began to take pictures.
Today I took a visitor from China here to show him what US Indian casinos look like and explain how they bring in revenue for the tribe.
