Went to a semi-local spot to play a bit yesterday, it is more like a restaurant/ bar than a pool room, but there ar ~10 tables, including a tight diamond.

That was the biggest bunch of suspicious, untrusting, inflexible mofos working there.

Table was $5/hr. Guy tells me he needs a credit card and I tell him I don't have one, but I will only be there for 2 hr, can I pay up front? HE says 'no, what if you stay longer'. I tell him I will let him know if there is a change to my plans. instead of commenting on my proposal, he says 'and if you mess the table up we need to bill your card' (BULLSHIIT!! he will be sadly disappointed, if he thinks that is gonna fly :slap:).
Conversation is a real buzz-kill and I have the balls in my hand, I set them down and peel off a $100bill and ask if he can take that to ensure parment before I leave. He says OK and I make him write me a receipt. Go play

Get to the table and waitress comes over. I get beer and she asks me for a credit card:grin-square:. I tell her I am only a 1 or 2 beer date tonight and I will pay cash when I am leaving. She puts her hand back on the beer she brought and tells me she has to have a credit card to serve me- ( sidebar: once you bring the item to me and set it down, I am legally 'served') I ask if I can pay cash. I can and also hand her $100bill:grin-devilish:.she comes back with change- pennies short, so I make her go get my MF'n 4cents.:angry:.

I play for a while- played well on the tight table, FTR!- and decide to order another beer. When she brings the next one, I give her another $100bill and she remembers the pennies this time.

I kept an eye on the time and left about 5min short 2hr, just out of spite. Got charged $10 and didn't leave a penny for a tip.

Shame, coz the equipment is good...espercially for DC Standards.

There's my Christmas pool story.

Dude, you have more patience than me. I would have left right away and went home to watch "it's a wonderful life"

Next time you want to start tossing our $100s like that, let me know. I won't even ask you for a credit card!

Merry Christmas
 
Shoulda come down here I woulda held your hundo and had the wife serve us! ;)
 
TC-

A lot of places won't let you run a tab unless they know you. Just pay for each drink up front or give them a card...

I NEVER give them a card. Once it's out of your sight, no telling what might happen. Paying cash is best.

That is my major beef with it. They got problems with walkouts and sketchy customers? Well guess what, you employees come from the same neighborhood.

And I had my bank account emptied a year or 2 ago. No long-term damage, but I don't wanna go through that again.
 
So you didn't tip the waitress working Christmas day that you made fetch you 4 pennies? Because she was following house rules?
 
I have to agree with the op. You're obviously not out to screw anybody and cash is king. If they can't take cash, they don't deserve my business.
