Small stakes, live tipping advice?

as your employer I think I will need to take a look at my options and see if perhaps I can find some workers who might "settle" for say 18/hr. You see, as a player, I am running a business, and like any good business, costs must be kept under control. It's nothing personal....

...As your manager, I just can't justify your salary when I can get the same service for half the cost. If you dont think I can, try going on strike. It worked out well for the grocery store clerks.

EDIT: No, you can't get the same service for half the cost. DUCY?

OK leykis, you sure seem to giving yourself a lot of titles. Let me knock you off your little power trip with a little dose of reality:

You are neither my "employer" nor my "manager." You are a patron/customer of a casino which happens to employee me. I answer to casino management, not you. At my poker table, I run the game, not you. If I don't do my job well, you can stiff me or complain to my employer, and this is a lot different than being my employer or manager.

Second, you really seem to have some personal issue with the amount dealers earn in tips, even if you're a little misinformed. Why exactly does it bother you so much? I don't know if you have issues with your own income or something, but you seem WAY too bothered by it.

Third, you seem to like making broad, baseless comments about all poker players to support your points, such as, "most players are horrible buisness owners" and "poker players in general do not understand the value of money", in order to try and support your point. Neither is true; you'll find all types of people playing in a casino to include the poker room.

Professionals of all kinds, doctors, industry leaders... I mean business owners are literally all over the place. Are you kidding? There's all kinds of data on that shows that the average casino patron is better off financially and better educated then the general population.

All of these people are tipping out of generosity, not because they're too stupid to know better.
