Hey Guys,
Last night was the first night I volunteered for my stepsons school, and let me tell you it was an experience! See... the school gives you a slight tuition break if you volunteer 15 Hrs + 2 Bingo nights a year.. per kid. The school gets a percentage of the nights draw. Well last night was the last night we had to do to make up the required hours from last school year! LOL
My wife and I worked Bingo last night. That got us our last Bingo night, and our last 5 hours we needed. Volunteering for this year starts in a couple of weeks. Anyway.... A while back.... 14 years ago to be exact I worked at the very Bingo hall that we were volunteering at. The only bridge I ever burned. Told the owner to take the job and shove it where the sun don't shine! She was not a very nice lady. Anyway I was told she didn't work Monday's. I thought cool! Well it turns out she was working, but she didn't recognize me. Phewww dodged a bullet!
That is not the interesting part...... I can't believe how much money those people spend on bingo! I was absolutely floored! When I worked there I worked in the kitchen and did ever run the floor, so I didn't have any idea how much money was spent. Our job was to sell pull tabs. Kinda like scratch offs only you flipped back a cardboard tab. Well I must have sold 6 or seven boxes full! I had folks buying those things as much as a hundred at a time, and one person actually spent $300! By the end of the night I had folks giving me quarters and pocket lint for just one card! One person even handed me a $20 and said that I better give her a winner, because it was the last of $1900 she has spent total that night!! I hope I am not offending any bingo players out there. Bingo is a fun game I am sure, but the amount of money these people spent in 5 hours was unreal!
To make matters worse they kept us there from 6 pm till after 11 and we both had to be up at 5:30. Kinda sucks.. but I guess it just goes to show what one is willing to do to save a couple bucks. LOL
