I love all of the morality from some of you guys. For example, how many
degenerate gamblers that were trying to make a big score and in turn
ended up ruining their lives' financially because they have a gambling
problem do you think Perry Friedman has busted?
Perry Freidman ain't my daddy. And since I'm older than 21, when I'm in a
casino gambling I'd expect him and everyone else to mind their own business
while I mind mine.
I'm not saying that it is right or OK just to take the money from the
cashier and do whatever, but to pretend like it is the biggest no
brainer is kind of silly, seeing as some of the winning players here
have probably helped "screw over" quite a large number of people
without thinking a second thought about it.
It's a no brainer if you're not a degenerate scumbag.
WTF are talking about "screwing over" people? At poker?
I have thought about it before and it doesn't bother me. Its their
money, their problem, and their fault if they gamble away all of their
money.
Basically, yes.
My personal morality is to give the money back as well because my
conscience tells me that it is what I should do and I find my inner
peace much more important than an amount of money. But at the same
time, I do not expect anyone else to give the money back.
I do.
As someone said earlier, if I make a mistake and misclick all in and lose a
thousand dollars, no one is there giving me my money back. And that is,
in a way, a smaller error than someone making a mistake at their job
that they are getting paid to perform. I eat my loss as should the
casino as should the cashier.
That's a different question than whether you should tell the cashier about
the mistake at the cage.
I blame the casino as much as I blame the cashier or the person who
took the money.
That makes no sense at all.
They are the one's who know that the people they are
hiring as cashiers are human and that they make mistakes. They make
billions of dollars per year and should expect some clerical errors
that will impact them negatively. To fire a person for one mistake such
as this is tough.
Ok.
It is a cutthroat world and to try and judge someone elses morality on
a subject like this is wrong.
Not really. Rick posted a simple hypothetical. It has a simple answer.
I do feel sorry for the cashier in
question, but at the same time she made a mistake. I don't think she
deserves to lose her job, but if she does I also can't say that it is
the person who took the money's fault regardless if I agree with her
decision to take the money.
Well, it's the player's "fault" in the sense that the mistake would have
been corrected had she done the right thing. That of course does not get
the cashier off the hook for making the mistake in the first place. But
you've wandered a long way from Rick's initial question.
