not saying that they should
but why the double standard? If a bar overserves, they are legally culpable. But if a casino overserves....they aren't?

The bar would be legally culpable if the patron drank too much left the bar and got a DUI/Accident/etc... Drinking too much and losing money at a casino is not a crime, so I don't feel this is an apples to apples comparison.

BFFT...you and I usually see eye to eye on most subjects. I understand your frustration. But, this is different than a nice bar, where the ratio of customers to employees is much smaller than a huge casino floor with multiple bars where the customer can freely roam from one to another.
I'm sure you train your bar help to spot those who imbibe too much, and know to cut them off. It's not that easy for casino employees to gauge how much a customer has had to drink. I've been in a casino in Tahoe and have seen people cut off by a bartender, and had the floor boss come to escort them out. They can't be baby sitters for all the drunks who arrive at casinos to party down like the world is ending.
When do individuals cross the line to the point of not being responsible for their own actions. We are seeing all too much in our society, people saying NOT MT FAULT, and finger pointing at others to place the blame on.
There has to come a time, when people must look in the mirror, and say...yep...I did that. It was stupid, but, I'm an adult and knew that getting crapfaced drunk and gambling sometimes will get me in hot water.

I don't like gambling.
Not one bit. I don't know what it is, but it's just not for me. I don't feel any rush, just disappointment after wasting money.

Des, my little goat raising friend....we don't really disagree.
I think it is asinine that I am responsible for some redneck who can't hold his liquor. I also think this guy (the casino guy) is 100% responsible.
I took the position of the devils advocate to highlight the hypocrisy between the casino and the bar. Because bottom line, regardless of how many patrons you have (and we have quite a few), you are still held responsible for what and how much you serve them.
Nope...we agree that this guy screwed up and should own it. I just wish the same sentiment was carried over into the bar.
