Do I have a Right to be Upset - Blood Stains on Cloth?

What is simonis' recommendation, I do be wondering?
Fresh blood on a table? Totally unacceptable... Yeah, you could have
handled it a little better, but hindsight is 20-20.
IMO, just 'cleaning' the blood up is a non-starter, maybe you and
the gentleman could split the cost for recovering the tables?
Using an insurance claim for this isn't smart, your rates will go up.

It seems strange that it was so egregious to the other regulars yet no one said or did anything until 3 or 4 tables were stained?
One other thought I'll throw out. Many people his age are on blood thinners, and it is amazing how something so insignificant you don't even notice it can result in a pretty copious bleeding if you are on a blood thinner
How did he not see? Probably the same way the people he was playing with did not see.
We're the people he was playing with stupid as well for not saying anything before 3 or 4 tables got stained?
I said it was stupid. I didn't say he was stupid. I didn't say the people he we're playing with are stupid. I didn't say you we're stupid either. I'm thinking it, but I didn't say it.
Yes. If there is a noticeable amount of blood on the tables, then yes, there are some stupid people there. How's that? JMO :thumbup:
It's only a short time frame from when the blood hits the cloth and his hands/fingers smear it in to the cloth that it turns color from red to brown. I'm assuming this is one reason he and perhaps others he was playing with on the same table didn't immediately pick up on it.

You could try writing Simonis to see if they'll send you some dye for the color of cloth you have.
Then, do the peroxide and attempt to re-dye.
They may even be sympathetic to the situation and help you out in some other way.

I have to agree with a couple of other folks who mentioned that his opponents did not notice either. If you were upset at the gentleman for not noticing he was bleeding, you should be equally upset at those playing him who did not notice.
It sounds like you have handled the situation with your patron since the incident, and that he was also an upstanding guy and was willing to take responsibility for his accident and for understanding your brief "unraveling" at the time. I would do what it takes to keep this patron and others like him.
Good luck with the repairs.

It's ok Chris your place is immaculate, a hidden gem . Good job taking pride in your business and ask all the questions you want . I did flooring for 35 years and learned something new everyday ! I have a question for this guy .... wanna play some sets at Chris's pool room on Monday nights? Id rather lose than do nothing.
On the other hand, you learn which insurance company not to have.
I was backing out of my parking space at the pool hall lot and hit a car that was parked where it wasn't supposed to be. Still my fault. My insurance paid. They also lowered my rate due to the previous accident-free years.
My father worked as an independent insurance claims adjuster for car accidents. He saw a lot of accidents and dealt with a lot of companies. Three pieces of advice: don't get a motorcycle; don't leave your lane during a freeway problem; you're in bad hands with Allstate. (My brother swore me to silence about his motorcycle; dog in your lane? try to hit it squarely and do not brake suddenly; USAA.)
