Who wouldn't? This seems to have genuinely been the worst kind of jobsworth, plus bullying, plus pointlessness - was it worth even to take up the time of so many employees over five cents? Pure corporate crap.

It was the case of a bully exploiting power over someone they perceived as weak and easily overcome, and in the immediate sense, inside the casino that day, it was true. As usual, the bully failed to take into account absolutely everything else other than their own ego and self-satisfaction.
