Just what the Doctor ordered? Or worse Anniversary ever?

Posted to Home category

I'm not a big fan of the casinos, but Sukki can't get enough of them. I try to limit how often she goes and how much money she takes, but it's a lost cause, she finds ways of getting money then dashes off to give it to the casinos.

While we were at our 3rd casino. I was walking around looking for Sukki, we rarely play next to each other, when I got a call from her, "Come get me, I'm in the security office". Great.. so I go ask where the security office is, and I get this 20 questions routine, I interrupted, told them "you got my wife, and I suppose I need to retrieve her." She told me she'd escort me right there.

Once in the security office, I found Sukki was sitting in the corner next to a table, they had photocopied and super enlarged her drivers license to the size of a full sheet of paper and had multiple copies of it on the table she was sitting at, kinda surreal. They were 3 casino security guys and one local plain clothes cop standing around in the office. This fat security guy, the only one sitting down, explained to me what had happened, apparently Sukki had sat down at a machine that already had $15 bucks in it. She put $20 in and played till it was out. Just as she was leaving some woman got all upset claiming she had $20 in that machine and called security.

They checked the computer logs and cameras and saw that it was a honest mistake, that the machine did have $15 in credits, not $20, and had been vacant for up to 10 minutes before Sukki sat down. Sukki should have noticed there was already money in it, but she didn't. The cameras showed the other woman was no where near that machine when Sukki sat down or the 20 minutes that she was playing it.

Other than the cop yelling at Sukki, not because she played the credits, but because he was doing the "She doesn't speak English so I must yell" routine. It went down pretty well, I paid the casino the $15 bucks and we were allowed to leave. I stayed behind after Sukki left to give the cop a piece of my mind as I hate it when people raise their voices to Sukki because she's Korean. She hesitates to speak and they assume she doesn't know English and that means we must yell, because we all know that helps. He apologized and they all started blurting out excuses, on how they didn't know if she knew English as she was too quiet.

I had to run to catch up to Sukki. She was almost out of the casino by the time I caught up to her. They had been a little meaner than I think they needed to, she felt they had been very rude when they pulled her from the floor and she was mad and embarrassed. She declared we are never going back to that casino. I pointed out that all the casinos talk to each other, cause I like to be helpful... She was quiet till we were almost home. Then she said she needs to find another hobby. We haven't spoken since, but maybe her slot machine addiction is cured?
