hi there I just bought a candle and it smells just like how I remember the Flamingo smelling like, everything but the cigarettes. I was wondering if anyone knew what scents they have for the casino?
Which movies can you watch over and over again and enjoy EVERY TIME?
There are some you can't get through because they're boring, predictable, or just too bad at many levels.Then there are those that are just enough to get by.Those that are good, but not something to write home about.Of course, there are some that are GREAT (at the time) but once you are done and sated, they're like a great night out with someone that pushed all the right buttons, and yet, that morning after, you just want to get away from them.And finally, those that you want to introduce to your parents. You tell your friends about them all the time. And can't understand why there are still people out there that have never watched them...You can recite the dialog word for word, you of course know every twist and turn and cliffhanger's outcome.And yet, your joy is still there, you will even laugh out loud shed a tear in funny or emotional moments.They are just like a good book, or someone with whom you can have conversations until dawn.They are your personal islands, your fail safe go-tos in your favorite streaming service, which you know WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Mine are many, some I run into like an old beloved friend you come across some times and your face lights up with happiness at the prospect of spending a little time with them. Others I have in favorited lists, so I don't forget and always keep in touch :) Here are some (would love to see what you like and if you agree with some of mine - which of course include obligatory titles which some might find tiring over being named so many times... but that's the thing about great movies, they don't go away). I know some are not considered great by most, but we all have our guilty pleasures for our own personal reasons. The list is in no particular order, just "off the top of my head" stuff. ****EDITED****

THe nice guys
I'm gonna leave it up to here for now... I would love to see more movies that I forgot to put in my list :)
Maybe magical, extraplanar, or just unusual. Comment and I'll add yours to the list :)
Imp Imporium - This store is small and boxy, and entirely made of redwood. A tall devil stands behind the counter wearing a suit and tie, and imps are chained to the walls. He offers you the services of one of his imps for a small price- the rights to the imp's memories of what they did when you're done. He requires a much larger material collateral for if you don't return the imp or it dies/is irreparably maimed in your service.
Coagulation Station - A seemingly normal (if ugly) old woman runs this roadside popup store. It is nothing more than a cart with a sign next to it reading "Coagulation Station" painted roughly in red over a lime background. She offers healing supplies, potions, and rations in return for a small vial of your blood. (Feel free to come up with consequences for buying from her, such as her being a hag or using it for a strange ritual, etc.)
Elemental Extras - An air, earth, fire and water elemental stand in the four corners of this (entirely brick) shop. Unfortunately, the "shopkeepers" only speak primordial, so good luck if you don't. They each offer to put special elemental effects on whatever you own, such as a fire effect on your sword, an ice effect on your armor to freeze whatever hits you, or an earth effect on an arrow to have surrounding dirt swallow whoever it hits. Everything here is understandably very expensive.
Vraug aks stor - A very tall, older orc hero enthusiastically tries to sell his weapons in this shop in order to retire. They're hung up on the walls, all showing varying signs of use. Some appear to be magical. Vraug also tries to tell his customers stories about each weapon before they buy (and especially before they ask.) The weapon most prominently displayed is a +4 Great Axe, with obsidian blades, a dragon-scale tip on the end and golden threads running down the handle. There are a few chinks in it, and the tip somehow has a dent in it, but the damage only seems to add to the charm. He charges an extraordinary price for this axe.
Angel Bazaar - Apparently recently the churches haven't been generating enough coin to keep the local deity fiscally afloat, and some angels have taken it upon themselves to raise that extra money. Some are selling more regular items for cheaper prices, such as healing items, some are selling more extravagant magical items, and even others are offering "miracles." They're all set up in a series of stands in a small square that you swear wasn't here before.
Betsie's Black Cauldron- everything is black, especially Betsie. From black oak ethanol to black licorice she has ingredients and potions unique to her gimmick. u/LateLolth96
The Fleeting Flyer's Fast Findings- if the item floats, flies, or is otherwise airborne this shop might have it. Limited time only and has (randomized) a rare three uncommons and six commons but the more you travel the more likely you are to come across it because it's on a one man spell jammer with two carnival cars behind it. u/LateLolth96
The Kyuss Kasino- a worm themed casino where the main attraction is the purple tunnel which is a purple worm in a metal harness designed to prevent it from moving and to keep its mouth open. The wager, and incidentally, the show is if you can make it out the other end alive you [win]. There are scrying orbs that display a live feed of the current "adventurer" in the worm for 5 silver lasting 30 min before the next five silver (no refunds). Quest hook? u/LateLolth96
Djinni Gin Jamboree- a once a month festival celebrating a moon cycle of the dm's choosing. Marids sell their distilled saliva as well as various forms of never-before-seen-by-man fish dishes, and water elementals play live music which more or less sounds like the rhythmic gurgling of a muddy brook. u/LateLolth96
The Crossroads Corridor - An invite only shop, given to adventures who have a number of their own magical items. When the invitation is slid under any closed doorway, said doorway will become the doorway to the shop. Operated by The Masked Man, it is a magical item shop that trades magical items for magical items of similar value. Leaving will exit out the door you originally put the invitation under. u/Hacknslaasher
Bottom's Bottomless Meatpies - It's cheap, delicious (although a bit gamey and hard to chew) and the servings are enormous. The shop is run by an old goblin with an enormous smile, his name is Toothy Bottom, less so because of his bum, and more so because of a secret that he isn't telling any one, the secret that has made his Meatpie-shop the most well visited in the entire area, at least by those not able to afford fine dining in the upper districts.For you see, underneath this humble shopped, staffed every hour of every day with more goblins than you can count on one hand, or two hands if you have taken ABM (Advanced Barbarian Maths), lies a large, cavernous mining operation.You enter it through a set of large trap-doors found in the cold-store basement where you find the literal wheelbarrows of meat that allow every customer to order however much meat they want in (or on) their pies, as long as the Goblins can lift it up to the counter (the largest order so far was, according to the Goblins managing the front of the house, "the weight of a small baby wrapped in a nasty hunting dog." they have made no comment as to how they know that specific measurement).Once you are through the trap-doors, you'll find a rail-system rivaling that of the largest Dwarven mines, with rail-master goblins timing and directing all the in- and out- going traffic, and every cart that comes in is absolutely and utterly loaded with meat, which is then loaded on wheelbarrows and carted up through the trapdoor.If you were to follow the rails as deep as they go, through all of the winding tunnels, across chasms, past various cave-dwelling monsters that try to snack on the meat or goblins or, well, you, then you'll eventually find yourself at the namesake of mr. Toothy Bottom.A large, mass of rock-hard skin, covered in spines and horns and other sharp shapes, it has been split open, and the dark flesh underneath is mined ceaselessly by a small army of Goblins. They aren't violent, in fact, they are quite cowardly, but they are as professional as any Goblin can be, and they are also fighting a continuous fight against the flesh with their pickaxes.For you see, the open wound is constantly trying to close itself, regenerating at a blinding speed that the Goblins have learned to keep up with after opening the wound large enough to allow for their massive excavation progress.This may be the toothy bottom of the pits and chasms.But it is also a small area of the sleeping Tarrasque, regenerating fast enough that it does not notice the harm being done to it, and with a large enough Goblin Workforce to drive the economy of what is, essentially, a small Goblin Kingdom in these tunnels, complete with blacksmiths making new Meat-axes and monster-hide-leathercrafters making workboots and pants for the Goblins working down in that caustic blood.And let's not forget, that the entire lower class of the city has eaten Tarrasque meat at least once, some of them for years.But it's only two silver pieces for as much pie as you want (or can carry), so who cares to ask where it's all coming from? u/Neknoh
Sarah’s sewing shop, “World class Seamstress.” - She means world class! She can repair even magical fabric to like new condition. Everything she makes alterations to gives them a +1 to charisma for 24hrs or until dirtied. Bonus returns after being thoroughly washed and dried (some items are dry clean only)She’s also a dry cleaners. u/rab-byte
The Philosopher’s Time Shop - Sundials, watches, windup clocks, candle clocks, hourglasses the size of mites up to the size of your average goliath, the Philosopher has a range to suit almost any buyer in need of a way to measure time. Be careful, the hours you spend there fly away like seconds! u/ElZoof
Oakshot Saddliery - Gwinnett Oakshot caters to a select clientele, those looking for clothes, armour, weapons and equipment specifically designed to suit those who spend at least part of their days in a different body shape. Minor magic at most, it’s mostly just very well designed to suit your Druid on the go or werebeing out for a night on the town. u/ElZoof
Jasper, Goldhand, Bloodstrangler and Smith - What does “‘til death us do part” mean if your wife is now a lich? Does a lifetime guarantee still stand if the object in question broke before the manufacturers were born? What exactly is an annuity? The firm of JGB&S is on hand to assist with non-devilish contracts of any kind. u/ElZoof
Morogh's "Pet's" - This pet shelter is run by an older halfling named Morogh. He's kindhearted and only wants the best for his little animal companions he sells. From apes over hawks to wolfs, he just has every animal companion you could think of, but his store also has a back area. Not everyone is welcomed there as he also sells abandoned monster hatchlings, like griffons, owlbears, pseudodragons and even a red dragon wyrmling. Those monsters are all tamed so no danger there, Morogh just wants to know his customers better before trying to sell one of his more 'exotic' assets.The adventurers maybe can persuade him or do a favor for him (possible quest), like acquiring some exotic food for the more demanding beasts and monsters he houses. After this Morogh decides to sell them one of his monsters as a companion. u/Th3Banzaii
Plane Ole' Butcher - A butcher shop that sells meat from an unknown plane of origin. One day a small portal opened up from the ground and strange-smelling exotic meats have been extruding from the portal. A shop was built around the portal which has been active and pumping for 50 years. People come to see the wonder firsthand but they stay for the dirt-cheap meats. The meats are char-grilled and heavily spiced to soften the meat's naturally pungent flavor. u/HeyShipmate
Looters Late Return (aka LooLaRe)- A seedy smelling store run by an androgynous goblin who wears overly fancy clothes. This goblin sells in bulk only, and at discounted prices. The catch is that if you make a purchase, you must sign a contract guaranteeing repeated weekly purchases. Your bulk discount increases the more product you are able to move, but if you are unable to maintain your weekly purchases, the goblin’s secret network of enforcers comes for it’s dues. Or your life. u/pikkl_rikk
Sandman Fisheries - This tightly packed stall smells or marine air and salty nets. It has all the sea can offer to the gourmet with a striking emphasis on huge fish: tuna, spadefish, and the occasional gargantuan squid. The product is impeccably fresh. Always. Sandman (a desert dweller and camel race aficionado) doesn't seem to understand what you're asking about the supply chain and how come his shop ever exists at hundred of miles from the nearest sea! u/Banuken
T'zargo's fine wares - This shop can be mysteriously seen in any plane, but always appears as an identical modern convenience store looking building. Inside is a tabaxi named T'zargo, always advertising his "fine wares at reasonable prices." He sells extremely rare and powerful items for millions of gold, along with random everyday items. Some of these rare items include an axe once wielded by Baphomet, and draws from a deck of many things. His mundane items he always pulls out of a box on his counter, and they include a full rowboat and 30 chairs. u/Kellen1013
The Magic Commoner - A basic magic item shop owned by a young elf wizard named Tavon Ilidan. He sells all sorts of magical things from armor to weapons and rings an such.The thing about his shop even though on the outside it looked like a regular building despite being one solid color; purple, orange, green ect. But when you walk inside it's much larger than its outward appearance.The shop also travels via a magical door. Tavon has a set of different keys he keeps with him representing the different cities of the land/world. He first closes the front door, locks it, then unlocks it with a new city key and when he opens it, it opens to the new city.Tavon's appearance reflects on which city he is in and what color his shop is. If is shop is blue his robes are blue as well. Tavon also has a secret. Even though he looks like a young elf he is actually an ancient gold dragon that simply likes to travel and meet new people without the stigma of being a dragon. He likes to play tricks on people and test them to see if they are worthy of specific items in his shop, (IE a wand of fireballs he made himself.) u/nota_person
Mallard Maladies - A veterinary clinic for ducks. The shop keeper is an old blind man who refuses to heal non duck creatures, but can be tricked into healing non ducks with a high enough deception ability. Despite the name, the clinic services male and female ducks. u/El_Jewbacabra
The Exploding Wand Shop- A shop that is characterized by an explosion that lifts the roof of the building off the walls and expelled black smoke every few hours - followed by the owner shouting from inside "I'M FINE, EVERYTHING'S OKAY!"The owner is a young Eladrin Artificer named Seyf Melorathian who experiments on new wands and other magical wonders. His face is a black charcoal from the soot of the explosions but otherwise would be a light brown. He has a pair of glasses that protects his eyes from being covered in soot. He has blond hair and wears a Smith's apron. He sells common rarity wands, up to rare rarity wonderous items, and has been working on an experimental wand of fireballs. You can only purchase an experimental wand if you do a material gathering quest for him.If you buy one of his wand of fireballs (2000gp and a waiver signed to not sue) there's a 10% chance that when used the wand will cast a second fireball centered on you during the spell.He also offers enchanting services at various speeds depending on the rarity of the requested enchantment. He will also willingly take on apprentices or teach enchantment to anyone. u/xBramStokerx
Fishman’s Man Fry – A Triton, named Vamras Vogalath, with broken Common serves delectable seafood dishes. If asked about the name, he explains that it is food FOR men, not for fishes.Side note- this is shop is not anywhere near any large body of water. Nobody in town is sure exactly where the fish come from. u/Unprincipled
Shwarma Tent - delicious herb infused fried flatbread with cured meats and shredded carrot and cucumber. The tent has small tripod tables and stools of worn wood. Patrons carve their names and other messages into the tabletops. Among the mundane names can be found the names of previous characters and NPCs that the party met, BBEGs they defeated, dated long ago, the current ruler of the land and the name of an old lover with a heart around it, Ash Ketchum, Drizzt, The Doctor, and the original Avengers. Searching carefully can also reveal a cryptic message to the party, seemingly carved years prior, but naming the PCs. u/bluecor
Threads of Fate - three old sisters weave spidersilk and mundane silk into beautiful garments with embroidery that sometimes changes its image. For instance, a nightrobe has the moon and a starry sky embroidered, and the moon changes its phase with the real moon. On another, a dragon slowly chases its own tail, with its wingtips pointing to the time, as a clock. Yet another displays an hourglass which constantly drains, and runs out when the wearer dies. Other images might show great moving battles, gently waving flags that slowly fade and dilapidate as the empire becomes more corrupt, or ruins that become progressively overgrown with vines. The theme of the garments deal with the passage of time and the inevitable end of life. u/bluecor
Salty's - the owner Saltamancia sells salt of differing coarseness and colors, and is an expert on which textures best compliment which purposes, from baking fine rolls to soaking one's feet after a days march. He has certain rare salts from distant lands with rare properties. For abjuring circles, he has a blessed salt that cannot be dispersed by gusts of wind. For healing, he has a fine blue salt that, when mixed with honey and packed into a wound, prevents infection and scarring. Another salt taken with hot peppermint tea can remove an additional level of exhaustion with a rest. True to his name, Saltamancia is old and curmudgeonly u/bluecor
Bestboots - Bestboots sells custom footwear of exceeding quality, made from rare materials. The footwear can be light for nimble moves or heavy for kicking doors. With the right materials (possibly a quest) minor advantages can be built into the footwear. For example, a sole of felted yeti hair can give normal traction on ice, and a sole of gummed soapwood sap can allow the wearer to ignore a casting of grease underfoot. u/bluecor
Hap's Microbrews - Hap claims to have perfected the means of beer portability, in that his brews are bottled and sealed under pressure in containers of lightweight spun cellulose which dont shatter when dropped. Opening his bottled beer releases a small localized burst of cold, chilling the beer just shy of freezing. The locals generally ignore his cart and "ice cold beer" sign, as ales are meant to be drunk at room temperature so that they don't unsettle the stomach. A discouraged Hap sits by his cart of beer bemoaning his own foolishness at sinking his fortune into such a folly. u/bluecor
Indelible - this quiet dusty alcove sells the magical inks, parchment, paper, vellum, papyrus, and delicate quills needed to prepare arcane and divine scrolls. Also sketch artistry, heraldry, and calligraphy supplies. Blank spellbooks, charcoal, pastels, and a few unique items are sold. Glowing chalk leaves marks that remain luminous for several hours. A special lightly waxed paper is waterproof and can be written on underwater with a special pencil. A waterproof scrollcase holds six tightly rolled papers in individual tubes, designed so you can immediately draw out the scroll you desire without searching through a sheaf of papers. The proprietor Abagnale is a gifted forger, and can make needed documents for the right fee, but only those skilled in thieve's cant would be able to recognize this based on a small glyph carved above the lintel. u/bluecor
The Magical Arts - this is a totally mundane shop which sells shaved and marked decks of cards, scarves for pulling from your sleeves, salted nuts cans that shoot a confetti burst when opened, squirting lapel flowers, palm buzzers, chewing gum that turns your teeth black, whoopie cushions, and stink spray. The guy working there isn't the owner, but is happy to teach you how to use his goods. While distracting you with a card trick, he will also attempt to shortchange you or pickpocket something (minus 4 to notice his ledgerdemain). If caught, he will only say "check your pocket" and there you will find the item you thought he pickpocketed. "Its all part of the trick, man," he will say, as he pulls a coin from your ear. u/bluecor
The Bee's Knees - honey from different types of flowers with exceptional flavors. Meads of each type are also sold, as well as bee pollen and honey candies. A honey from frostclover will quickly dispell a hangover. Phasebee royal jelly can allow an additional use of misty step for a character with that feature, but the cost is exorbitant. The affogatto with honeycomb, coffee, and ice cream is delicious, and gives the benefits of a short rest when consumed in the shop over the course of an hour. u/bluecor
Wacky Backy - Mr. C. Marin runs this fine tobacconist. House blends of pipe and cigarette tobacco can have classic Gandolf effects: controllable luminous smoke rings of various colors, and custom flavors and scents. The halfling weed is also sold. A self-lighting pipe is available, as well as a "peace pipe," which is a heavy iron pipe useable as a club (but you can also smoke out of it). Mr. Marin can craft custom peace pipes of nearly any light weapon. u/bluecor
Wild Bill's Skins - Bill buys and sells tanned and untanned hides of all types. All. Types. Bill can craft armor and other leather goods from nearly any type of hide. Custom saddles can be made for any beast. A saddle on display is embossed "ride me hard and put me away wet." It isn't for sale, and it looks like it would fit Bill. He can craft a skin-tight custom leather armor that is concealable under clothing, but the customer must go into the back of the shop for a very long and invasive fitting. Rumor has it that some customers never emerge. u/bluecor
Yellow Dancer - This is a musical instrument store run by a purple-haired elf named Lancer who was a freedom fighter in the past. His sister, Yellow Dancer herself, a famous concert performer who is a recognized star, is sometimes there in his place. Instruments of high quality and beginner pieces are sold. On commission, Lancer can craft an instrument which contains a secret sheath for a hidden weapon or wand. Also sold is "the Axe," a battleaxe/guitar combo, with a magical property of sound amplification that allows it to be heard in the largest venue, and allows for unique distortion effects. At DM Option, the Axe can also be used for ranged sonic attacks, mimicking the effects of Eldritch Blast. u/bluecor
The Titty Twister: an adult entertainment venue, mostly for merchants and caravan guards. A goblin barker in a tophat and coattails out front gives a spirited pitch about the feminine wonders to be found within. Inside is a seedy establishment styled to look like an ancient temple. Billiards and darts games line the walls, and a poker game is playing out at a table near the center. Its a rough crowd, and fights that break out are settled with the loser being dragged away by the bouncers and the winner buying a round for the house. Beautiful dancers take turns on stage and mingle with clients between songs. Private shows are available. During the day the massive door is barred and the place is eerily silent, but from dusk til dawn raucous action is there for the taking. Locals stay well clear and pray for protection if they must pass near this den of sin. u/bluecor
The Campus Martius: This strange storefront is a place for games of strategy, including draughts and card games, as well as sandtable war strategy matches involving miniature army figurines, played out with dice and measuring sticks. Arguments over rules are common, and are arbitrated by a robed and wigged judge on a low dias at one end, who often consults an enormous tome of rules which only he is allowed to read from. 1sp per game, per player, but by convention, the loser pays the fees of his opponents. A sweet green drink called mountain brew is popular here. It enhances focus, adding +1 to concentration saves for an hour, but leaves one tired, -1 to all saves for an hour thereafter. u/bluecor
Millenium Sustainable Armory: run by an elvish druid, Millenium sells "murder free" armor made from silk, giant leaves, sustainably harvested ironwood and similar materials. The armor otherwise has the properties of normal light and medium armors, but contains no leather, bone, or metal. Cost is about double. Heavy armor is not available. The leaves making up the armor do not wilt or turn brown. u/bluecor
The Meat Market: run by a shadowy figure in torn robes, this odd shop gives permanent magical effects in exchange for body parts. The more important the organ or body part, the better the effect. The effect goes to whoever the part comes from, so don’t get greedy! Wonder where the parts are going... u/CephaloPawd
Fernado's Fish Frenzy - in a village where magic and fishing collide, you might run into a man who can be at multiple places at a time, Fernado. He is a mystical fisherman who sets up booths in town squares, where the fish fight to the death in gladiator-style combat. The loser, is placed on his selling slab and the victor becomes larger in size. He has a 'leaderboard' that updates magically after every battle, accounting for all of the places Fernado is at in your world. u/BEZERK0xD
A rickety old shop plastered with the title of some famous adventuring party / adventurer on it. The entire shop is run by a near delusional fan of the party/individual, and sells merchandise about them, as well as weirdly specific information that you aren't sure how they know. (If your party is famous enough, the store might be dedicated to them) u/bladeraptor3
(Part 2 of CasinoBeard Saga) I didn’t expect quite the reaction from my first tale of CasinoBeard. Ahhhh, our greasy, fat antagonist. I’m writing this on the notes of my phone while on an airplane and copying and pasting, so, a warning for any grammatical mistakes. Our characters are: Me: 18 year old girl. First time working a proper night shift. I have some dorky tattoos, look like a punk, and I’m not afraid to speak my mind. CasinoBeard: CB for short. 30something, tall, fat greaseball of a human with no regard for boundaries. Can’t believe a girl likes video games and also doesn’t want him to touch her. Lmao what. Chad: 20something tall as heck “chad” looking dude. Is aware of CB’s antics , and is slowly becoming my “work husband” Mr. Rogers: my shift supervisor. A 50something jaded as fuck war veteran with a soft spot for me (not in a creepy way). Again sweet as all heck, and very “Mr. Rogers” type. He will be my savior in many CB attacks. So. Back where we left off, I’ll recap part one very briefly. CB tried very hard to befriend the only lady on the security team (me) and in doing so violated my personal space issues while trying to look at my dorky wrist tattoos (a pokeball and the supermario mushrooms.) And Chad has inadvertently become my protector and also my work trainer. So after my event with CB at the clock-in kiosk, I was just waiting with Chad for instructions from my new shift supervisor. Mr. Rogers. The sweetest man I’ve ever met. He could obviously tell that I hadn’t had a good time with CB. Luckily for me when I turned around to look at CB, he was fumbling with his employee card to clock in. So, relatively far away from me. Mr. Rogers appointed Chad as my trainer, so essentially I’d follow Chad around for a week or two until I got into the swing of things. So I was on Chad’s schedule. Now the way this casino is set up is there are two parts. The Fire and Ice sides. The fire side is mostly a big circle of gambling machines and tables with a few restaurants on the outer rings and a small concert area in the center. The Ice side is a long shopping strip with a similar gambling circle at the end, along with the poker rooms. Both sides have their own hotels. (I’m changing the names of the casinos but if you know what casino I’m talking about, yeah it’s that one. CB still works 12pm-8am there) I looked at the schedule and Chad was on the Fire side, and was posted at podiums for most of the night. I checked out CB’s shift and he was on the Ice side doing patrol (you just walk around and bring poker chips to and from gambling table games.) This meant I wouldn’t be seeing him, at least while I was on the floor. At least that’s what it was supposed to mean. We took roll-call and I was briefly introduced to the rest of the team. It was all men of varying ages and ethnicities and one small, old Chinese lady. She was standing next to CB and looked visibly disturbed. Perhaps by his odor. Perhaps by who he is as a person. Probably both. It was time to break and Chad walked me down a corridor that opened up to the Fire casino, and we walked to the post to go get our radios (glorified walkie-talkies). It smelled like cigarettes and depression out on the floor. I personally love the smell. It reminds me of my grandpa (who lived in Las Vegas lol. Cigarettes and sadness should be a candle scent.) He walked me up a flight of stairs near some bakery and we walked over to the hotel on the Fire side. We stood at the podium and checked people’s hotel keys before letting them up to their rooms. It’s standard in a lot of casinos. It was pretty quiet the first two hours. We stay at posts in 3 hour rotations, and get a 30-45 minute break after each rotation. Not bad in my opinion. We were about a half hour away from going on break. I was leaning on the podium, half asleep. The smell of cigarettes and the general casino vibe was calming me down too much. I was dangerously calm. But then. I smelled it. The warning before the storm. God damnit. Chad sighed. “You’re on Ice tonight. What do you want?” It was him. CB. I swear I could hear him sloshing in his shoes. He was sprinkled in sweat. His pit stains were about as dark as my soul and his forehead was shining brighter than my future. “Just wanted to be sure you’re training her right,” he smiled. God that was the first time I looked at his teeth. I really wish I hadn’t. Now, I had braces for damn near 7 years so my teeth weren’t anything to talk about before. But his holy shit. You know when people don’t ever brush their teeth so plaque has just started festering between their teeth and gums? Yeah that was him. The tips of his teeth were dotted black. The enamel had eroded completely. I almost threw up in my mouth. (I’m the person who uses several toothpastes Bc I’m scared of my mouth bacteria becoming resistant to any one toothpaste, so you can imagine how fucking sick his teeth made me.) “We’re perfectly fine, you can go,” Chad insisted, gesturing for him to turn back around. “It’s 2am, nothing is happening, and I don’t trust your abilities to train the lady.” Good lord does this also count as a white knight story? “I’m perfectly fine, he has plenty of time to teach me the other stuff,” I said flatly. I was hoping the more angry and uninterested I sounded, he would be able to take the hint. Nope he just walked closer and rested against the opposite side of the podium from me. I guess me saying “no go away” was misconstrued as “no, but convince me otherwise.” I stepped back and just leaned against the wall. I don’t know what he was trying to do, but he had his hands clasped together, and was breathing heavily. Now the casino isn’t that big so, he really shouldn’t be out of breath. Especially if this is his job. Then his breath. Oh god his breath. It smelled exactly like getting the wires changed in your braces. Or someone who hadn’t flossed in a while. Or someone who doesn’t clean their tongue/mouth jewelry and it grows plaque. That smell. I hope I hit enough demographics of people who know what that smell is. At this point I was truly disgusted. “What other tattoos do you have?” He said with a disgusting, pathetic, stomach-churning smile. “That’s none of your business.” I said. His eyes lit up. Oh fuck. What now. “Is your tongue pierced?!” God damnit. Yeah. It is. I didn’t say anything. I clenched my jaw and attempted to channel my inner Medusa and turn him into stone. It didn’t work, unfortunately. Chad was obviously getting annoyed, mumbling “you should go or we could get in trouble” every so often. But CB wouldn’t budge. “What other piercings do you have?” He said, with an even bigger shit-eating grin. He looked down at my chest. In full disclosure to all of you, my nipples, tongue, lower lip, and nose are pierced at this point. But you can’t tell me that’s not a wildly inappropriate thing to say to a coworker, on the job, who is also probably 15 years younger. Like if anyone could bare to touch him, he could be old enough to be my dad. Ugh. I just had to stifle my vomit. “Wow that’s wildly inappropriate and I’m super uncomfortable,” I said, a little louder than I usually would. Normally I do this if people are catcalling me or being disrespectful to show I’m not afraid to be loud and get help. But nope. Then he said something that no amount of soap could cleanse me from. ”I can’t wait to find out for myself” Chad reached for his radio and immediately said something along the lines of “CB is off post and harassing new recruit”. I’m not sure exactly what he said. After what CB said all I could hear for the next hour was ringing in my ears. I swear I popped a blood vessel or something. Mr Rogers said something over the radio I couldn’t quite make out. CB’s face went dead and he loudly stormed off. I’m still not sure exactly what happened. I think he ended up in Mr. Rogers office or something. CB got a point or something because he was out of his patrol area. That was thankfully the last I saw of him that night. He wasn’t in the break room, I didn’t hear his voice on the radio (different radios for different sides of the casino), and the rest of my first shift went well. I was exhausted by the end of the day but my blinding rage kept me awake enough to drive home and complain to my mom and Twitter. That completes the FIRST SHIFT with CasinoBeard. If y’all wanna hear more let me know ;) Edit: part 2 and grammar
long read, will include tldr I went from seeing my own family sleeping on the streets while me and my older bro were on our bikes trying to make things happen, and get through the days, to a nice job and steady income. Thank God we still had a job, even though it didn't pay all that much. After we found a place, no electricity for weeks, things were starting to look up. I still taste the candle scent from the candles we used to heat up our coffee. It was that, or endure the cold nights with no bed in a small apartment next to a busy street. But that was LUXURY to me then, and still a luxury now. Life has truly tested me and continues to do so. I got a job as a food runneexpo at a fast paced diner in 2014. It felt like my first real job that didn't feel like a scam. And boy oh boy, I still remember the emotional breakdown and turmoil I had to endure being inexperienced working in a restaurant. But I endured and stepped up my game. Nothing was going to stop me from making my next buck after what i had been through (for years). Fast forward to 2016 when I quit my job. I had planned to save up and move away from Miami and live in Ft. Myers. But the money was spent by my asshole stepfather on a small, old, mobile home sitting in between miles of trees and unmarked roads away from humanity. It was his dream to isolate himself from people. Even talks about how god "put us here for a reason" and thinks we'll be safe from the coronavirus.. Not my dream to stay here though. That wasn't the plan we all initially agreed on. But he felt irrelevant and was offered a job here (which became a failure due to his temper tantrums). My earnings had been blown just to cover bills with no source of income. It was only a matter of time until we were homeless again. But this time. Miles and miles away from the closest town. To this day I am still stuck here, even after a year as a line cook at a casino earning 15 an hour. Lost my job because of car issues because of DISTANCE. And I was the only person working in the household. And I've been pestered by my own family for what I had no control of. I honestly feel pretty lucky to have kept my sanity for so long. I have the internet to thank. My parents on the other hand have not been so lucky. Their increased paranoia has effected their incentive to find work and support themselves. But enough is enough! I want to leave this place and get back on my feet and focus on ME. I've been robbed of my ambitions and as a result, wasted so much of my time living in their hell of a world. The only advice I would give is for everyone to pave their own future AWAY from their parents. Doesn't matter how good they've been to you. tldr; deadbeat parents, chronic homelessness, regret wasting my time trying to help them.

Botswana is really a jewel of the country. Inside a continent wracked by turmoil the united states continues to be silently developing its natural sources and improving the grade of living of their people. Botswana continues to be fortunate by a number of natural sources which has permitted it to create good progress from being among the poorest countries in Africa during the time of its independence from Britain in 1966 to as being a self-sufficient nation. Obviously, to this day it's not without them challenges. A lot of Botswana may be the arid Khalahari desert which will get under 10 inches of rain each year. AIDS is another serious health condition. Botswana, however, has an array of wildlife and you will find several game reserves in the united states where wild creatures can be seen within their natural atmosphere. Botswana includes a good infrastructure for tourism with top class hotels, safari lodges and game camps. These game reserves range from the Chobe Park across the Chobe river within the north which hosts the biggest concentrations of tigers on the planet. There's even the Moremi Game Reserve within the Okavango Delta. It is really an enormous inland river delta, the biggest on the planet, within the north-west of Botswana. There many waterways within the delta which is a eco-friendly oasis in the center of the Khalahari desert. The delta teems with all sorts of wildlife for example Cape zoysia, hippo, crocodiles, lechwe, sitatunga, kudu, sable antelope, impala, baboon, cheetah, lion, water buck, elephant and ostriches. Within the Central Khalahari Game Reserve are available creatures which have adapted towards the rigors from the desert atmosphere that covers a lot of western and central Botswana. Zebra and wildebeest do migrations though this region looking for water and food. The neighborhood currency may be the Pula meaning rain, such may be the significance provided to this precious resource within the Khalahari. Another great natural resource is diamonds that have been discovered at Orapa in central Botswana in 1967. This resource continues to be developed and offers needed revenue. The neighborhood people call themselves Batswana people and they're rightfully happy with their nation. They're continuously adapting their nation from your agrarian past to some modern economy utilizing their natural sources while still preserving their traditional culture. During Maun, Chobe, or even the capital Gaberones you might even see locals playing Morabaraba the neighborhood form of the boardgame Mancala, or Mohele that is a variant of Nine Mens Morris. Morabaraba is generally performed on the wooden board with four rows of holes created in it. Sometimes farmville is performed in some holes scooped in the earth. The counters employed for the sport include gemstones, marbles, or seeds. Should you meet locals playing the sport, question them the guidelines. You'll have fun, meet newer and more effective buddies and enrich your vacation to Africa's jewel.

The history of scent marketing in casinos is straightforward. In the 1970s, public smoking was prevalent. The casinos had a stinky cigarette problem. The casinos started to install the scent diffusers you see in gas station bathrooms. They worked for the most part but didn’t enhance the olfactory casino experience. To deliver intelligent scent, each diffuser connects via 4G wireless to our integrated global network. This enables each scent diffuser to “talk” with our centralized command center. Users are able to see and fine-tune fragrance performance remotely with data tracking, fragrance measurement, and service monitoring. Casino Bern, Bern. Gefällt Mal.
