Re: [vpFREE] Another dumb (and annoying) promo -- Palms cookie....

 

Hello Ms Craps
Last weekend it was a "donut guy" . A really nice fellow, but he only got
to my section every 3 hours. If you have a donut crave , the way around it
is to leave your machine, find donutman, hold a dollar in your hand to
indicate tip, and get 2 donuts for "you and husband". Proceed to McDonalds'
and get the 59C Senior coffee and Voila you are set with a donut breakfast.
Got to warn you, those donuts are generic - way below crispy creame quality.
PS - you are right , Stupid / misleading promo as the right way was to
enable the drink servers with donut ordering ability. I'm going to imagine
that money talks and BS walks and a $2 tip in advance to the waitress will
get you a donut ! For Donuts my favorite casino is the Fremont , where they
have their own Dunkin Donuts on floor.

best...Tom
