Caring for Your Customers
Terri Seymour
You probably think I am going to say something like, "The customer is always right." Right Wrong.
I have many philosophies when dealing with customers, but I definitely do not believe that the customer is always right. However, when the customer is wrong, you must handle the situation delicately.
There are many types of customers and each one needs to be treated with respect and consideration no matter how difficult they may be. I have found that most not all people can be soothed out of their "nastiness".
I used to work at our local casino and I would get all kinds of customers to deal with. Most of them were very pleasant as in the IM business, but there were a few that were very difficult. There was this one night when I came in contact with this particularly difficult lady who, of course, was having bad luck. She was just a bit**in" and blaming the casino!!
I calmly yet firmly talked to her in a reassuring and respectful manner each and every time I came around. I noticed that each time I did talk to her she became more and more relaxed and controlled. Until finally, later in the evening, I went into the Ladies Room and who should be there, but the difficult lady! Well, as I came in, she burst out, " There she is. Theres that girl who was so nice to me all night long and made me feel so much better"! She could not have been more grateful. ;-
Now this will not happen everytime you run into a difficult customer, but it could happen often. Treat people with respect, kindness and consideration and more often then not, you will be able to calm down a dissatisfied, belligerent customer. Listen to the customer and let them know you will do everything possible to get the problem resolved. Show them that you care!
You need to actually care about your customer and care about making sure they are satisfied with you and your service and/or product. Do not just think of the customer as another sale.
If you get the eternally nasty customer who will not be consoled no matter what you do, do not lose control or sink to their level. Remain calm but firm. The customer is not always right no matter how much they think they are. Be courteous and polite.
Since I have been online, I have only encountered about three customers of the eternally nasty type. ;- I did my best, but to no avail. So I had no choice but to send them on their way. I stood up for myself and for MOE and did not insult them in any way. But as we know, there is just no pleasing some people.
I would say that 99% of the people I have encountered online have been absolutely wonderful! They make it easy to treat them with respect and courtesy. I, who has been painfully shy most of my life, love working with people and enjoy interacting with them online and offline. I think all well, almost all people are good in one way or another and deserve to be treated as such.
This is why I do business by the motto: Treat others as you would like to be treated and Be true to yourself and your customers!

The Dangers of Bingo
Lets face it; bingo is hardly going to arouse a thrill-seeker into taking it up in attraction to its high risk stakes. Over sixties, playing bingo in a community hall does not seem to register with the seedy possibilities of a stake-out associated with poker for example. But do not be fooled. There are hazards to the game of bingo and whilst they may be small and hardly worth deterring a player who enjoys the game socially and for fun, it may be interesting to know that there have been concerns over the game.

How to play Pro Blackjack
If you dont have much Blackjack experience, it can be daunting stepping up to the tables for a game. You can, however, hide the fact of your inexperience very simply by remembering these straightforward rules. Note - the rules of BlackJack will differ from area to area and from casino to casino, but the general principles are the same. When in doubt, ask!. A typical BlackJack table seats a dealer and up to 7 players. Starting with the dealer, the first seat on his left is 1st Base, while the first seat on his right is referred to as 3rd Base. In front of each players seat is a betting square, printed on the felt. Right in front of the dealer is the chip tray, while on his left is the deck a.k.a. shoe and next to that is the minimum bet sign, which tells you how expensive the table is. As a beginner, you will want to stick to the low bet tables to keep any losses under control. On the dealers right is a money drop slot. This is a security feature - casinos dont really trust their employees, and all cash and chips are deposited here to prevent leakage.
