It's interesting if you guys read the post I said if this was the only issue it wouldn't bother me that much. And then I made a post today explaining every other single issue. It's like people can't read my posts. Or they don't want to. If this was the only issue I had with this establishment you guys would not have even known about it because I would have never brought it up.
Political signs at a pool hall? Would you give them your money? Please no politics please just answer the question

You do not own the place. They do and get to make the decisions. An astounding number of pool players are afflicted with the need and desire to "manage" their favorite pool hall or become too invested emotionally in these places. Go somewhere else or stop playing if you dislike it this much.
It's not just pool I'm this way and pretty much everything I do. If I see something I say something. I will walk up to the president of a company and tell them they're doing a crap job. A good example it wasn't the president but it was a marketing person at a booth at an event that was marketing internet from my ISP. And I went up to him and said I don't like your internet it cost too much money I'm low income and the other ISP in the area allows a low-income package. But you guys don't have that and I can't get the other internet because my apartment building goes through you guys. He handled it very professionally. And he said he would look into it. And he also told me to call a certain number and I would get a discount for the next year. And I did get a discount for the next year.

Good luck with that.
Are you the guy that would fail the $ 100.00 dollar bill test?
I have no idea what that is can you explain it so I would know if I would fail it or not?
Happy to:
$ 100.00 dollar bill test.:
That is when you go up to a person who is a known complainer...and hand them $100.00 bill and gauge their reaction.
A normal or pass result is answers like this: "oh thank you!" "Why?" "Are you sure?" "This is amazing..I have been a little short and this will really help me now!" "Oh thanks but no, I can't accept that!"...etc.
A Fail is a person who within a few seconds brings up the fact that "darn..now I have to go to the bank or another place and get change for it before I can spend it."
I've have had some fun with this and everyone I "targeted" failed. It was worth the money each time for entertainment value too.
Reminds me of my low income children when they tell me I should buy a Lambo because my car is old and slow.

Result:
I’d snap it, say “thanks” and walk away before any questions.
Last thing I’d do is ask a question.
Snap
Thanks
Leave
2 seconds at the most,
A guy in the pool room told me once if someone offers you money smile and say thank you, nothing else. Melvin was his name in Sacramento. Great advice.
Best,

I would pass. I love getting free stuff. Because of covid I've been tempted to pay someone $100 to go to a home show and get all the free stuff for me. But so far the person doesn't want to go into a crowd even for $100 with all the covid stuff going on. And it's like come on think of all the free magnets and Cozy's and bottles and Frisbees and sunglasses you could get.Happy to:

I feel the same, I don’t like to go into crowded places-unless it’s a bar. Then I feel safe. The alcohol kills covid forsure. So I know I’m safe there.
I only go when there isn't anyone in there. And I wear at 3 masks and I have a respirator that I breathe pure Everclear. So I know I'm killing all the germs
Those rebreathers are helpful too
Spot on as usual cueman. I too don’t care what someone’s political beliefs are; just don’t force yours down my throat. Keep it to yourself. I had to give up a friend of many years because of the last election and his reaction to it.
It doesn’t bother me, but then again, I’m not political in nature.
The man in black covered this a long time ago!
Close...but I've seen it too many times to let you slide.
