I recently visited a land-based casino after a long time to gamble, have some drinks and enjoy live music with a couple of my good buddies. Not long after we settled in, we heard one of the casino workers yelling at one of the gamblers. He said, "Sir please you have to leave now. You come here every day and you keep losing. Please be considerate of your wife and your newborn babies." The backstory is that this particular man is a very popular gambler at the casino not because of his winnings but because he keeps losing. Despite his losses, he would return to the casino the next day to gamble. From the story, his wife had just been delivered with twins. I would later find out that the casino worker is his nephew.
If you were the casino manager would you fire the casino worker for interfering with your business or would you ban the gambler from visiting the casino?
The attendant knows that gambling is not for him, but he lacks the self-awareness to call a spade by quitting when things aren't going well for him because he is already addicted to gambling. I know that there is no family in business, but when it comes to profit-making, you just have to be considerate and have this human pity. There is not a shred of truth in what the attendant said to him, he failed to take into account his family back home even after his wife gave birth to twins, he ought to quit since it is not working for him.
As a manager, I wouldn't fire her, that kind of guy doesn't play with big money, they are always in debt even with the little they play but I will caution him with a strict warning so that he doesn't repeat every time for other customers.
