Lucky Chances

I went by there for the 1st (and probably last) time a couple weeks back.
I asked to see the “Boss” and a floor man came over. I showed him a sample of my chips and asked if they had some others I was looking for. I asked him why the $2 green and 25 were so close to looking like each other. He told me the 25 is a tournament chip and was stolen. He explained that the there is no $ sign on the chips they use for tournaments. He wanted the chip back, but I told him it wasn’t from his place...it was a sample....look at the circle in the 25... Mine is green and theirs is white. Ok he says...lett8ng his guard down a bit.
I asked for a 50c chip and he said ...they have racks of them in a locked room. They don’t use them much anymore....that if I wanted him to go dig them out....I have to buy a rack!! Say what?

So ...I did obtain a $10 and $20 chip.(bought them) I was also given (gift) this $3 chip(on a keychain) by the same guy. So...I’m asking myself...you want to give be a $3 chip, but don’t want to sell a 50c?
Another day in the life...of me.
He also said to tell my “ friends” not to bring any tournament chips to the card room....they are considered stolen...fair warning!!
