"Jesus" advises Yang to stiff dealers?

[David Sklansky]

If CF made an unintentional false statement in front of you, you should be upset not at him but rather at Harrah's for not allowing you to correct it.

For those who don't already realize it, the issue boils down to this: Poker dealers make more than the amount that would be expected based on supply and demand. As do valet parkers and blackjack dealers at the Wynn. The main reason is that tips are insignificant money to wealthy gamblers yet employers can't ask for kickbacks like they do in strip clubs. Professional poker players tip less than tourists because they understand this and because tipping directly affects their income. Poker dealers don't gripe about the smaller tips from pros, even though they know that if everybody tipped like them their income would be more in line with the laws of supply and demand. Because those pros are shills for them to get the bigger tips from the tourists.

But in return for not griping about those smaller tips, they think they should expect in return that the pros don't go out of their way to influence the tourists to tip less. Even if deep down they realize they don't "deserve" those tips. Personally I would be willing to abide by that agreement if I did hear them admit how lucky they were to be paid more than the nurses I asked about previously.
