More Deck Trouble... in Spades

Table 290 had a few cards replaced early in the day, and they've just now asked for more replacements. The floorman looked a bit unhappy to be called over for the second time, and he took the opportunity to give the table a little bit of a lecture.
"The players are doing it," he began. "I can't keep bringing you guys new cards if you're putting marks on them."
From the three seat, Rep Porter took a bit of offense to that comment. He wasn't upset, but he did take a moment to speak his mind, beginning with a flat, "That is not accurate." Porter repeated and continued, "To blame the players is not accurate. We're using decks from last year, and they've been sitting in a box, and the spades are all bent. For the last three weeks, I've been able to pick out the ace of spades. The low spades are all curved."
Indeed, Stephen Su was sitting right next to Porter with a noticeably curvy 
laying face-up in front of him.
Porter continued to speak, mitigating his criticism with phrases like, "I know there was a printing error on the cards this year," and, "I understand bad things happen." He continued, "But when the players complain about the cards, it's not fair to blame them."
The floorman apologized and told them he'll find some replacements as soon as he has a chance.
