I'm sad that you didn't object, raise hell, etc.
That money was yours, unless of course you were happy to give it to that dumb ass.
You probably don't have it in you to create a disturbance about $40. Me neither.
But, Scooping? Is that a legal term that would hold up in court? I doubt it.
Used to be called "silver mining", though there is not much silver now.
There are legends...the casino owns it, etc.
Baloney. What makes it the property of the casino?
Anybody could lose cash from their purse or pocket, or hand.
Doesn't mean a casino, or department store, or movie theater has rights to it.
I found several dollar bills on the floor at Bellagio casino.
Silly me, I actually tried to turn them into Security.
They shrugged and told me to keep it.
