Re: \"I WANT TO SEE THAT HAND\"
[ QUOTE ]
dealers have been recently trained to just quickly take a folded hand and stick them right in the muck quickly as a matter of habit

Yes, yes, and yes. Someone folds, get his cards in the muck ASAP. I do this and think it's good practice. Keeps the game moving and helps avoid problems.
Usually people who abuse the IWTSTH are the type Milo is describing. At some point the dealer or house should put an end to the abuse if it's constantly going on. It's bad for the game, but fortunately it's pretty rare that someone jsut keeps on doing it.
In one very cool case at my first dealing job, a total douche was doing it every hand, and after a few the dealer just started mucking them anyway. When douche protested, they broke the table, and reseated him on a dead spread - just him and another dealer. He went into this "that's bull****" routine because no one was being seated, and then the floor told him to stop swearing. He didn't, and they kicked him out.
Seriously, if you're constantly doing this in a B&M casino, you're a total nit, I don't care where it is. Many casinos now (mine included) give some discretion to the floor staff to curb problems like this, to include IWTSTH abuse.
