What on earth were they wearing! Is this a new thing? Comes across as tacky, seedy, and unprofessional imo.
Why don't they use the playing cards with the naked ladies on as well and stick a pole in the middle of the room for good measure. Do DTD really think players are more likely to play at their room if they can leer at young women while they play the game? Sad situation if that is true.

It"s one thing I"ve never understood about DTD tbh - why they feel the need to employ such tacky "advertising". They have what is pretty much unarguably the best cardroom in the country, and that and the tournaments and professional service they provide are plenty to get the punters in. I"m not sure all this other stuff actually helps, and I really think they underestimate their clientele. The current advertising banners on the blonde forum are an example of this. Also remember a promotion they did early doors where they offered a prize of a "bubble bath (from some hotties in bikinis) for the bubble boy" in some tournament or other. I dunno, I guess a lot of the guys like it, but I"d personally have thought the vast majority of the clientele would prefer something a bit more classy.

Was unfair that so many lost their jobs over not wearing them though, and shud be given a choice.

pretty shocking if true

I like a scantily clad female like most blokes do, but it cheapened the place for me, and there wasn"t anything wrong with the other uniforms either.

Apropos of nothing, we should bear in mind that DTD is not a profit making business at the moment.
Rob, by his own admission, puts £1m into DTD every year out of his own pocket.
Now there are arguments that he could save a few shekels here and there by not sticking in those guarantees but, for him, IIRC, they are DTD"s unique selling point.
If he wants to get a few more punters through the door by these means then I"m not going to complain although I do feel that the valets who weren"t given the option were particularly hard done by.

TBH if he puts in a million pounds a year into it out of his own pocket then sorry he is an idiot. DTD is not a viable business and looks like it never will be if he keeps on bailing it out which means that one day DTD will go under because that is not sustainable and it is not building a sustainable business. And if that figure is correct I would tell him because DTD is great and he doesn"t need to do drastic things to keep it that way.
I told him to his face on Saturday night that I didn"t rate the new uniforms and that I much preferred a "classier" look.

If he"s marketing around football grounds and nightclubs with this kind of material then that makes sense - if he"s just putting up the marketing in places where people are going to go because of the poker anyway then it"s going to be largely ineffective
