    The PBs still didn't care - I was looking at them at the corner of my eye. There were 2 of them and they were chatting away. Then a 3rd PB walks in, start of her shift looks like. I then started hearing her say "Didn't you see that he's got $2,200 in front of him??!..." I wasn't able to hear the rest of what she said. It was the end of the deck so I immediately colored up and walked to the cage.

    As I was waiting in line, the lady PB approached me with a clipboard. . I find it funny coz I was just reading the clipboard thread earlier that morning, lol. She talked to me pleasantly and said they weren't able to get my player's card. So I handed it to her, she wrote it down, said thank you, and left. I always play rated for comps. Maybe they didn't record it since I only bought in $200.

    Should I stay away from this store for a while or just from the lady PB's shift?

    Is there something I should have done differently?
    If this is a place you go to often, you should NEVER cash your chips after a play. If not, you should still show some discretion by not cashing your chips immediately. I leave it to you to think of some ideas.

    Also, try not to play when the shift change is happening. That is when the new PBs must find out who their bigger players are. In addition, because the PBs are changing, surveillance is typically told to be 'on the ball' for anything suspicious. Out of the backoffs I can remember, about 1/3 of them have happened only a few minutes after a shift change of the bosses.

    If you are not a full-time AP and this casino is valuable to you proximity-wise and value-wise, then you did the right thing in leaving at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worried about it too much, especially on a busy weekend. I would try to avoid the lady for now if you can for a couple months.

    No, I don't frequent this place. Terrible pen. I only play when I see dealers with ok pen.

    Thanks for the tips Youk.
