[vpFREE] Re: Downgrades at the M Resort

Yesterday, playing at the Oneida casino, I saw a woman carrying one of the casino wastebaskets around with her. You know the ones, the smaller size that some casinos place between the upright slot machines.

She would sit at a machine and then place the wastebasket on its side and then put her feet on it. I asked her if that made it more comfortable? She said that since her hip surgery, it did make things easier on her. Being goofy, I also tried it and it did help provide a more ergonomic position as I played the machine.

FWIW,

Diane

She sits all different ways with feet propped up and not, etc. Says her back hurts after about an hour. Might start carrying a pillow to put behind her back because I enjoy hanging out in the Hostile Grape wine bar!

Likewise a little more consumer research and testing would be in order. I bet an Industrial Engineer from the Toyota plant in KY could do better!
