Another surprise from Bob Dancer.

All this breakfast talk is making Me hungry. Bacon and eggs sounds pretty good right now.

I think dancer had a column on how to sneak out of a Dennys without paying.

Actually you raise a good question: if it is acceptable in his eyes to sneak into a buffet to get food, is it also acceptable to sneak out of a restaurant without paying? If not why? Where do you draw the line?

Perhaps it is only a cup of coffee? Is it okay to have a cup of coffee at the counter without paying (because that is less than five or ten dollars, which was the price of the buffet)?

[regnis]

At a Hampton, the breakfast is $10.00. I'm pretty sure a "Grand Slam" is less. So is it ok then to stiff Dennys?? And like you say, where do you draw the line.

I don't even take an extra sugar packet from Starbucks--but that's just me.

When I go thru a drive-thru for example and they ask me what condiments I might want -- dipping sauce, or ketchup, or whatever. If I don't use it, I don't want them to put it in my bag. If I use it, I know what I am going to use. I don't want to take condiments that I am going to waste because I know that if I don't take the condiments it will help to hold down prices for the restaurant. If they save money, I'll save money. And we'll save landfill space, too.

Perhaps Bob is just an innocent victim of affluenza.

There is no question that some people think they are privileged or above the law or don't have to follow the rules that the rest of us follow. Take for example some "7 Stars Players" who think that because they played so much they should be getting certain privileges over and above those which are spelled out by Caesars Total Rewards. And I guess there are "advantage players" who think that they are also due certain privileges because they win more.

I guess if you make so much money, and are used to playing tens of thousands of dollars in a few hours in high limit video poker machines, that you think grabbing a ten dollar breakfast is something you are "entitled to."

Have you ever noticed that people who drive expensive cars are more likely to speed, cut you off, run through intersections, etc.??

And don't forget park in places where they shouldn't, like handicapped spaces or loading docks. The rich also give less, on a percentage basis, to charity: The Atlantic: Why the rich don't give to charity. I loved this quote from it:

Last year, Paul Piff, a psychologist at UC Berkeley, published research that correlated wealth with an increase in unethical behavior: “While having money doesn’t necessarily make anybody anything,” Piff later told New York magazine, “the rich are way more likely to prioritize their own self-interests above the interests of other people.” They are, he continued, “more likely to exhibit characteristics that we would stereotypically associate with, say, assholes.”

I don't doubt this. I've seen other research that supports this.

And you are absolutely right about the parking places. My son and I got a laugh about a year ago when we went to a very crowded Best Buys and some guy with a new sports car parked his car on an angle taking up two spots so no one could give him door dings.

Key em........

Really? Someone hogs 2 places and you feel they deserve to have their car vandalized?

[Alan Mendelson]

Nothing is worse than having your car keyed. About 20 years ago I parked my Mustang convertible in a shopping mall parking lot, right by the entrance -- it was parked correctly -- and when I came out it was keyed. Nothing hurts more than seeing that except when you come out of your house in the morning and you find your convertible roof has been slashed. And that happened to my Mustang three times. Gee, do you think it's a target for jerks?

I would never key someones car for any reason. I'm too poor too be that big an asshole.

[regnis]

I admit it--I am responsible for one "keying". I always park far away because the walk is good for me. I came back out to my car, parked way far from the entrance, and another car had parked so close to me that I couldn't get into my car on the driver side. I had to get in passenger side and crawl over. So yes--I am not proud-- but I keyed the s--t out of the other car.

Gosh... I can understand admitting that you ordered a hit, but admitting that you keyed a car?

In Bob's newest column he is going to marry the lady he left his wife for. At least he made it about gambling in regards to sharing a bankroll.

Interesting. I wonder if he's taking this Norwegian cruise as his Caesar's Seven Stars cruise, or perhaps using one of those inside cabin vouchers that Caesar's was handing out like candy this year. I think it's likely he's doing one of those two things.

[regnis]

Sounds like a true love story. Brings a lump to my throat---or was that acid reflux.

[Dan Druff]

The ridiculous thing about that column is that it deals with very low amounts of money when it comes to gambling.

Why is someone like Dancer even bothering to talk about "bankroll sharing" when it comes to matters of $125?

I have done it before where my girlfriend (who doesn't gamble) gets a card at some casino in order to get some freeplay promotion, and then she just hands me the card and I run it for her. We don't do any kind of talk about bankroll sharing or any crap like that. If it was big money, then yes it would be something to discuss, but it's pretty LOL-worthy to be talking about who has the rights to a $100 freeplay offer and whether you should chance running it on a high variance machine.
