After seeing Pete Rizzo's post about new chips at the Saddle West in Pahrump, I figured I better go get some.
I called them this morning to make sure they still had some left. When I asked how many were left, the voice at the other end said "I have 18 reds and 6 greens." I said I'm coming from Las Vegas to get them, will you set them aside for me.
The voice said "sorry I'm not allowed to hold chips". I thanked her and hung up. I felt it was worth the drive for those quanties. 95 miles later, I walk up to the cage and ask to buy the Alien chips. The lady in the cage (not the same voice) says to me we don't have many left so we're allowing people to buy 1 of each $5 & $25.
Needless to say, I immediately asked for the supervisor and explained how I had called this AM and was told what quanties were left. I also explained that nobody bothered to tell me about the limit of one. I told her 95 miles, and how I wouldn't have driven that far for two chips etc etc etc.
To make a long story short, she went away and came back a few minutes later and told me that I could have three of each take it or leave it.
I posted this message for two reasons.
1. To vent, thanks for listening, and
2. Always ask all the pertinent questions before you get in the car.
