Player's Club

Last night was my first night at my new position of the Player's Club desk. A lot of people didn't know that I was moving over from the cage to the club, and they were surprised to see me over there last night. A lot of people were happy for me, but I think the cashiers in the cage weren't so happy. Not unhappy with me, but unhappy in general. As I was cashing in a poker chip at the end of the night, the graveyard cashier said that he offered to change his shift around so we could work this out. One of the cocktail waitresses wanted to pick up some more hours, and my manager knew that, but didn't offer her the position, either. So it seems there was either a LOT of miscommunication over the month, or that my manager didn't really care if I left or not (despite him telling me he didn't want to lose me in the cage).

So that's a little frustrating. Fortunately, I am working the three busiest nigihts in the casino, so while my hours have been cut severly, I'll still be making about the same (if not maybe more) in tips, depending on who wins the cash drawings throughout the evening. So that is definitely an upside to the ordeal.

Training went pretty well last night, and I caught on to the computer system pretty quickly. However, since we were having our drawings, and you have to earn points on your Player's Club card to get into the drawings, people were coming back every 20 minutes or so to check to see if they got enough points for a ticket into the drawing. That was a little redundant, but oh well. I think I'll like it over there, and I start "officially" training tonight with my new manager, because he wasn't there last night, and I just kinda showed up.
