Peroxide will whiten the area. Always spot test on scrap.

Thank's for the heads up.

I wouldn't consider the way I handled as unglued and uncalled for as you may be assuming, or as bad as I guess I made it seem it my initial post - just a bit out of character with how I normally would handle situations with complete tact and discreetness. The only people in the poolroom at that time were the regular tournament players - all who know him well and generally all who felt it was an egregious and completely unexcuseable, particularly that he still didn't even notice it after ruining 3-4 different tables. Another poolroom owner who plays in our tournaments was here, and I asked him how he would have felt and handled it if this gentleman had done the same thing in his poolroom, and he said he'd prefer not to comment on that, but I know it would likely not have been as well as I handled it. I've already talked to this gentleman - we've both apologized and we're moving on.
How do you not see blood on your hands? Does he have a chalk less cue? How do you not notice blood on the table/multiple tables?
Price of business blah blah blah. Poolrooms aren't known to make big $$$ and a $1,200 - $1,500 hit can be the difference in paying the Bill's and not paying them.

It's awfully cold and dry out there, right now, isn't it?
This can cause your skin to dry, crack and bleed.
I'm sure he didn't mean to do it. Just apologize and move on. Another lesson learned. Next time, inspect everyone's hands before play. NO EXCEPTIONS. Make them get in a line, hold out their hands palms up. After checking each players hands, tell them to turn them over and check the other side. Problem solved.
Just Kidding. Sorry for the damage to the tables. He should have noticed the blood on his hands and took care of it before more than one table had blood on it. One table is an accident. More than one, is just stupid. Blood isn't like other spills. It's a biohazard. Good luck with the clean up.
We're the people he was playing with stupid as well for not saying anything before 3 or 4 tables got stained?
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.We're the people he was playing with stupid as well for not saying anything before 3 or 4 tables got stained?
"Do I have a right to be this upset for his negligence resulting in numerous permanent blood stain streaks on at least 3 tables?"
Odd questions.
You own a business that is open to the public.
SHIT HAPPENS.
Ive cleaned up puke, shit, blood etc etc etc on more than one occasion when I worked in and ran grocery stores.
Remember that time you claimed surface cracks from g10 tips were "miscue marks"?
Before that you had another thread saying that you use steel wool to remove miscue marks.
You seem to me to not have a clue as to what you talk about.
So yes, you ask some VERY odd questions for someone who has 'owned a poolroom for 23 years.
On the other hand, you learn which insurance company not to have.Yep...had a store front window broken. Used the insurance to repair and they would not renew. Save the insurance for the big one.
