Inappropriate Comment

So today on my dead game I had something to think about for a little while. Yesterday, I had a couple of escorts with older guys on my game. They were pretty wild, but manageable. The guys had flown in with the escorts from Texas. It sounded like the guys were regular customers. I even heard one of them talking about a watch that he had bought for his wife to one of the escorts.

They came back tonight, but were playing on another table. Our new shift manager came up to me and said, "Looks like your friends are back tonight. They look different."

I replied, "They are much more subdued."



He said, "They look cleaner. There was a lot of fucking and sucking going on up in their rooms last night."

I only was able to say, "yeah." The shift manager then went on to another pit.

So, I was given the following topics to think about on my dead game:

Is it appropriate for a shift manager to use that language to an employee? No, well, legally he could get in a lot of trouble. I don't care, but it could cause problems for him. That goes for any employee though. How about a boss? They obviously have to set an example with professional behavior. On the other hand, they are entitled to free speech, should that be infringed upon by a corporation? Don't get me wrong, I understand sexual harassment laws and why we have them, but are they too protective? I don't know. I personally don't find such talk appropriate at work, not like I talk like that at home.

Why did he use such pornographic language to describe the obvious? Last night, it was quite clear they were going to be getting sexual. The shift manager saying so was the equivalent of saying the sky is blue. It's obvious. Of course, we all say obvious things throughout the day in the guise of conversation. ie. "It's really raining out there".
Now, if he said, "they had a lot of sex last night", I would have thought "well, duh". He instead gave me a visual of at least two sexual positions. Was that the purpose of the language? A sort of mental porno among co-workers.

I forgot what else I thought about this incident, but it was interesting. You'll have to trust me on this.

All in all, I don't really care about what he said. I was just a little shocked that it came from my boss and it gave me something to think about.
