I actually think it's a smart move to pay salary in joints where you aren't going to find "agents" to work anyways...Drag a fish, duck pond, goldfish, frog bog etc...The owner isn't going to make a * ton more money by putting "qualified" people in those joints...so why not save money by paying a salary? Makes sense!
About the guy handing you a duke card while you were at another joint. I don't really know what to say about that. Sounds rude to me.
On the other hand, were the two joints owned by the same guy? Does he pay salary to the girl in the fish? Does that make it better? I really don't know. But I will rarely, if ever, hand a duke card to anyone at another game.
I thought the same thing about the people being affilialated,and forgot to mention that when I posted earlier! First I asked her if that was her old man ,then I asked her what she thought about it.(Him trying to get meto come over with a duke card).She could have been fibbing I don't know..
My old lady could work a spot joint better than me as far as the mechanics of it,but she didn't have the same mentality as far as trying to get paid,so she would send me her customers on occasion.But we were in the same joint and she did the sending,I didn't stalk her and try to get her business...A little difference there than what I experianced..
What you say makes perfect sense to me when it comes to certain joints,..Others absolutely not. ..No sense naming which joints we are talking about on this type of open board,but sufface to say that we agree on most issues..
One thing we all agree on is that the old days are gone forever! whether that is good or bad is debatable..I know that it was fun back in the day being in on a certain private club so to speak..Nowadays with youtube and other web-sites showing anybody who can read how everything under the sun works,
(And not always correctly I might add--LOL)
,it is certainly a new way of doing things..
I think it was Bowler who said you don't go under someone elses awning!--I agree...On the other hand It seems like some of these guys are starving out there so I didn't get too mad at the Dude for trying to make a buck---Just didn't like his method...jeff
