Hmmmmmm...where have I heard this before.....oh ya, my own post earlier in this thread. I know that it takes alot of effort to read the thread before you post so I will quote myself below:

Speaking of reading, how about actually reading my original post. The point was that you believe everybody should have to earn their keep. You seem to base that purely on education and training (ie. Because it doesn't take much education or training to be a dealer they shouldn't make much money). You say that you believe thats a moral issue.

My response is that dealers do earn their pay, based on the fundamental principle of capitalism. My 'suggestions' weren't about what I think casinos SHOULD do, they were options that casinos have to get their grubby little hands on the tips dealers collect. There's TONS of ways for them to get a portion of this money (as you've nicely admitted). The fact that they DON'T means that they also feel dealers aren't overpaid.

So I guess you have come full circle and now agree with me.

You would believe that, because you have poor reading comprehension skills.

The casino's are not the ones paying the dealers. The players are. If the casinos started to rake the same amount of money as the dealers currently are being voluntarily tipped, ironically the players would scream bloody murder.

Exactly! Thus society feels dealers earn their pay, and if they didn't nobody would care if the casinos implemented measures to get the tips.

The casino's have no motivation to change the situation beacuse they know they cannot ask the players to give up the same amount of money up front, (nor should they), and of course they are not the ones paying the dealers this money anyway.

The issue isn't who's paying the money, if the casino felt it could get away with getting some of that money, it would do it in a second.
