Scott,
The way I read your post it sounds like you were as much at fault as the Trop. If you knew that each person was limited to 5 chips, what gives you the right to try and get more. This action only aggravated the situation. Why is it that people are always looking for an angle to get more than their fair share? How about the other guy that drove 100 miles only to find he couldn't get his five because you got 10????
