I took my mother to the casino, like I try to ever...

I took my mother to the casino, like I try to every 3 weeks or so. Both of us are smokers, we sat at machines without "no smoking" signs. We were approached by an employee who told us we were not supposed to smoke there. I apologized and as I put out my cigarette explained how there was no sign to show us we were not allowed to smoke at the machines we sat at. He stepped closer to me and told me to look at the sign 3 rows away and progressively go more rude. I told him I believed him and he insisted that I looked at the sign in the other direction 2 rows away. He then stood next to us so we moved to another row to play for a few minutes before we left. He followed behind, at which point we left so we wouldn't feel like criminals for a mistake which I apologized for. My mother and I will take our business to Newport or Mohegan from now on.
