You counted stacks before? Where at? They wanna make sure you ain't gonna do a sloppy job dumping out chips and bills. One error and they'll be up your behind about "accountability".

Can you calculate chips and change fast as all get out with your eyes closed? No joke, the math flies at you like crazy and must be pitch perfect. One wrong total and you're on probation, baby.

Keep that customer service smile going even with a line out the door and drunk idiots screaming? "Please don't damage the furniture, sir!" Yes, you'll be saying that and more. Maintain your cool through it all or you're on the street.

Know all their rules inside and out? How comps work, credits, excluded players—the whole shebang? Don't come in guessing or you'll be sitting pretty soon. The house always wins—that's rule #1, remember it!

meticulous with each dollar bill and chip? Reconcile totals at the end of each shift match for match or you'll face the wrath. multipled by 12 hours a day, details matter and slip ups aren't forgiveable.

Any questions at all about schedules, pay, time off or whatever else at the cashier station? Speak now or forever hold your peace! They dish out zero nonsense at that role, you got me? Expect life in the fast lane with little room for complaints.

When can you start? Tonight? Tomorrow? The day after? They want people ASAP, so be ready to commit on the spot to a start date. Anything less than immediate and you're likely passed over.

Working in stampedes part of the gig, or too stressful? Standing elbow to elbow with nobody's patience quickly waning half an hour till payday gets crazy. You down for it or what?

Reason you couldn't pass any screens? No viable tale of last minute rehab, surgery or faked results will get sympathy here. Clean record/background/health? Don't apply!

Want in for a better gig? Can't hate 'em for playing hardball. Lay out in specifics how the cashier role ain't the prime job for your "skillset". Convince them their loss to get you on to something—or else.

Why quit your cushy job anyway? Ain't no easy gig, especially not this one. Competitive pay and occasional five figure tips aside, it's pure chaos each day. Dissatisfied in present role or not!
