thoughts on how to clarify at bingo

[Dznypal]

my friend and I play bingo at a VFW post--its laid back from playing at our local casino but since they havent brought bingo back yet its all we have

anyways--since it is so laid back to buy your sheets ( they have no computers so its all on paper and cash only)

they have 3 stations set up--the first one sells the regualar game sheets--

now the next one is where Im looking for insight--

this is the warm up games--they sell both a 6 on and 3 on--theres 2 warm up games so the person is selling a total of 4 sheets

when I buy my sheets I just say one of each--figuring I would get the 2 6 ons and the 2 3 ons--and all he ever gives me is the 2 6 ons

then I repeat one of each--and he points to the 2 sheets he put in front of me--

one time I said 2 6 ons and 2 3 ons he didnt know what that meant--thats a bingo term that was always used at the casino

so I just pointed to each pile and said

Im really at a lost on what to say so this guy knows what I want--

on the same line the last guy sells the last game which is a coverall--he after handeling dirty money he licks his fingers to grab the next sheet
aso now after licking his fingers he touches the sheet hes going to give you that has his spit on it-
its just is a gross thing to do especially now--I just say Im going to pcik my own
and hes find with that

but Im wondering how else I can clarify so I can get through to this guy

thanks

When I play at a local hall, the person has all the pages set up in the same area. They go from left to right, top row then bottom row and we just say one or two or six and then their hands just move to the next stack.

I’m not sure how you could be any more clear to the guy other then saying no when he picks up the wrong amount or type and stop him in the act rather than waiting for when he’s done. Hopefully you can get him sorted out.

It seems to me that the most simple way to handle it is to say, "I want two of those & two of those" as you point to the two stacks.

What you just did there is impressive - the entire OP read like a foreign language to me. Good luck to both of you the next time you play.
