Bad Weather

We had to close bingo tonight due to the extreme weather. Some of the employees went into work, including myself because I live very close to the bingo hall. Soon after I went in, the owner was contemplating whether or not to shut down the bingo hall. The roads were totally iced and covered in snow; it was below 20 degrees outside. As we were sitting there waiting on the manager to make the call the phone did not stop ringing! People were coming in two hours earlier than usual just to be there in time for bingo. For our customers, just the thought of the possibility that the bingo hall might close, had all of the players in a complete panic. It's really funny the trouble that players will go to in order to play bingo (see prior post titled Candle Lit Bingo). After we told everyone that no bingo would happen tonight, you would have thought that we committed a felony crime!!! These people WERE NOT happy. However, there were not enough of the crazy ones to play bingo. We will see them all tomorrow night, I'm sure. They love their bingo!! Just another day at bingo.
