- beaconstudios 8y agothe aristocracy and their associate bum-scratchers do still hang around, and to them it may well be hilariously crass that a bookkeeper might ban a member of the elite. But I don't think it's much different now compared to other elite castes. I don't doubt there are people out there who would find it funny if a Saudi prince or a tech billionaire was banned from a casino.
