Agua Caliente blackjack dealer: ‘There’s no job worth my life’ Jake Ingrassia, News Channel 3 · May 26, 2020 at 3:27 pm When Sandra Burdette was called back to work dealing blackjack at Agua Caliente’s Rancho Mirage casino last week, her first thought was ‘too soon.’ “I know one thing: I’m keeping my mom and me safe, no matter what,” Burdette said. Speaking exclusively to News Channel 3, Burdette said in her mind, it’s a matter of life or death – and despite the tribal chairman saying otherwise last week, she claims she was told to come back to work or get fired. “I’m upset, sure, I don’t feel like it’s time to be there yet. There’s too many people still carrying (coronavirus),” she said. “They obviously don’t really care about anybody, I mean as far as their employees go. I mean, ‘Just open the door, we gotta get open.'”
