What Is It With Seed Eaters???

I work as a custodian at a casino in Laughlin, Nevada.

The dirty habits of gamblers is what keeps me working but sometimes there has to be a line drawn.

There are the drunkards that soil their pants and vomit. These are called "Bio Cleanups" and they require an area shut down and extreme care and caution is taken to clean these up in case there are possible complications of contracting diseases. That's bad but those accidents happen.

Then we have the drinkers that discard their plastic straws, onion/olive and the cocktail swords and glasses right on the floor. Right along with the cherries, onions and lemon slices. Not to eliminate the bottles and glasses they also chuck on the floor or pile up on the slots and the machines next to them. Again, part of the deal in this business.

The cigarette smokers tap their ashes all over the machines and floor. Some of the slots are so packed with 2 and 3 ashtrays full of cigarettes one wonders how long they have been playing that machine! I don't smoke nor do I appreciate the mess some smokers make when they simply strew their cigarettes butts all over the place. BUT!!! That's also part of this business.

But here's the gist of this blog. The seed eaters! Some Sunflower seed eaters have taken the place of cigarette butt slingers. These people leave mounds of discarded hulls ALL OVER! The debris ALWAYS covers huge areas and then these things get tracked all over when people walk all over them!! Gadzooks!! They're discarded EVERYWHERE! Under the gaming tables, the slots, in the lobby where they will sit on couch's and slobber their seeds, and actually, ANY sitting place. On the bench's located outside the lobby area with wide swaths of discarded seeds making the biggest mess ever.

I wonder if they do this at home?? Probably not. Their GF's, spouses or Mom's would more then likely give them a good tongue lashing. Oh well, the life of a custodian cleaning up after the pigs!!
